Hi!
It's my first year, and I'm trying to do my best.
Now I've got about 50 little plants here

- 17 Cyklon
- 8 Thai Chili Red Fire
- 8 Jalapeno Purple
- 9  Cayenne Golden
- 5 Habanero Orange
- 3 Hungarian Hot Wax

Now plants have 4-5 weeks, 1 week ago I've repoted them to 5x5x6 pots. And They're in soil.
When really warm sunne weather come in may, I'll repot to 2L( o13cm x 16cm) proper pots and put them on my balcony. I'm considering building a small greenhouse.

Now I've got some problems, I fertilized them 2 days ago, and I don't know when do the next. On the box it's said to fertilize once in 2 weeks, and every week when plants flowering.....but isn't it to seldom? Habaneros and Hot Wax are growing very slow according to the rest ???
And how about watering? Till now I watered them about 3 times a week, and every morning I've sprinkled leafs. Is that ok? First 1-1,5cm of soil is dry, but I've checked deeper and there's some moisture, but not too much.

A few photos of my VERY amateur tiny garden:

I don't know how to make thumbnails in this bloody PicasaWeb, maybe I'll come back to imageshack

Looks good!

Nice colourful pots!

About fertilizing, a good rule of thumb is to fertilize less than the fertilizers instructions tell you because chiles are quite sensitive to fertilizing.
Since most of your plants are C. annuums except for Orange habs, you can fertilize them less cautiously, just be a little more subtle with orange habs.

About the watering. Keep in mind that the most common error for beginner is to water too much, so try to water even more rarely, or a little less per each time.. how much you should exactly water your plants its impossible to say because conditions differ. Usually overwatering causes yellow / pale leaves and very slow growth rate.

Just let the plants teach you... if they grow nicely, then everythings okay! Oh and, let us know how it goes!

and what do you think about their growth level for 4-5 week plants?
I know Cyklon is very tolerant, maybe that's polish var. :) but I'm astonished with Purple Jalapenos, their quite big too.
Pity that Habaneros and Hungarians are small, it's strange couse they're germinated 6 days eariler.......but weren't seasoned.

Nice growth rate, no worries there! :)

Your plants look good. Cyklon??

Cyklon is nice polish variete, check it out:

People said ( haha, like Jeremy Clarkson in Top Gear) that's easy to grow in our climate, it's very tolerant.

Interesting, peppers from Poland!. Who would have thought of that.. great :)

Yesterday something bad started to happen with few plants. Look here.
At first a few cotyledons started getting more and more dry. I thought it's okay, they have to fall down.
Then I watered plants 2 days ago, it was very sunny and warm weather, but yesterday and today is quite cold (10-14 C) and cloudy.
Then I saw this:

http://picasaweb.google.pl/lh/photo/9lSQebo-npIOOpLXj1DkzA?authkey=Gv1sRgCO-ErruB18GxCw&feat=directlink (http://picasaweb.google.pl/lh/photo/9lSQebo-npIOOpLXj1DkzA?authkey=Gv1sRgCO-ErruB18GxCw&feat=directlink)

I'm almost sure it's just lack of Calcium so I sprinkled leafs directly with water/calcium solution.
But Fatalii, You wrote "Usually overwatering causes yellow / pale leaves and very slow growth rate", and this spots just like this.
What do You think??

I know one thing: I need a lot of SUN here.

I cut down a few leafs with those dry spots. Maybe it was lack of Ca or just sunburnt, but I didn't want to risk if it's spider mite.
I haven't found any of those mites, but it looked similar to attacked plant leafs photos.

Hmm... it might be overwatering, but your soil doesn't look too soaked? Is it possible that it's overfertilizing? can sometimes cause results like that... "rotting the leaves".

I will answer your question about Biobizz here:
You can use amounts said on the Biobizz bottles, even when you mix them together, for tiny plants, use a bit smaller amounts.

When placing the plants outside, protect them with lace cloth (or frost cloth) and after they start to grow rapidly, add some Biobizz fertilizer to boost the growth even more.

But if you think the symptoms are caused by overfertilizing, then wait for a while to see if the plants will settle!

Does that symptom show on other plants than just on that one?

Hmm I saw something on 5 plants: 3 Cyklons, 2 Thai. But only one had 2 leafs with it. The others looked like dried a bit. Is it possible to get rotten --> dry when overwatered?
Overfertilizing? Maybe. I fertilized +watered a bit on April 9th (Thursday) and saw the first spot 2 days later.
Tommorow I'm going out for 2-3 days so I'm going to water them just a little and sprinkle leafs with H20+Ca solution.

Would my garden be alive when I' come back at Friday?  ??? ;D

Just remember to fertilize the small seedlings carefully and don't water them so much that they cant handle it.
Just small amounts every once in a while, you'll learn the fast way quickly after seeing when the plants grow the best!

Your garden will be just fine till friday! :)

nice growth competition here :)

Tommorow is "changing pots day"  ;D

Looks very nice. :)

Some new pots here so me and my girlfriend shared plants for both. She took 21: Cyklons + 6 Jalapeno Purple, 1 Thai i 1 Cayenne Golden. The rest 29 stay with me.
We repotted them on Saturday. What's interesting till today most of them made a lot and lots new leafs

(Photos from Saturday)

Today, when I came back home after 2 days at girlfriend's place I've became very upset.
I wanted to repot  my plants to bigger "houses" but I noticed them VERY VERY dry. 2 Thai Chiles are almost dead, and the soil in all pots is out of water. But habaneros and cayennes still doing very well. BUT, I watered them nicely with a lot of potion, and we'll see.
I hope the're turn well and pay me with HOT fruits :)
So I move repotting to the next day.

Today my girlfriend has phoned me and said that pale spots are on almost every plant.
After repotting we didn't fertilize, and amount of water was quite small.
The key is keep them DRY now for 2 days or some? Am I right?

Hmm.. I guess that's the best way to go now... and check underneath the leaves, in case of small spidermites etc...

 ;D fortunately it was nothing, False Alarm, just stains after hard water, uffffff
Today I've come to her place and seen plants - HEALTHY AND VIGOROUS, some small flower buds came out thou. Superb.
I'm putting some photos tommorow.

Uploading few new photos.
Today I've seen first flower buds on most of plants 8) For window-balcony conditions grow rate is nice, I think.

I've been quite busy last days, but today I'm uploading a few photos to outdo. I think my plants grow very nice, maybe not so fast  as some of Yours, but I've got only sun without artificial light. The fastest are Jalapenos Purple and Cyklons. Photos were mostly taken late evening so colours may be a little bit different than in reality.
All platns are 5-6 weeks old:

What do You think?
BTW; I've got a question about flower buds. What about them, should I pich off them? or maybe only first ones?
I don't even have a clue and idea what to do. Fatalii in "how to grow" writes about pinching off first flowers, but nothing about buds.
So should I wait to flowers come in and them pick few off?

Cheers!

Pavlak lovely to see you taking so much pride in your plants,they are in exellent health and are a credit to you  :)

Today I've noticed something wrong with 2 Cyklon leafs. I cut'em down and islolated this plant.
Any IDEA what's going on?

Also today Neem-Oil arrived, so I'm going to sprinkle plants in the evening.

That happens often when you're not careful when pinching off the flowers or just damage the plants with other ways. If that happens with only those few leaves and not all new, there shouldn't be anything to worry. :)

Also, a roughly treated seedlings can result mutations which will affect the future growth like that.
That's why it's always best to use germinating methods which won't need the handling of the tiny seedlings.

Ok. thx for reply.
There's nothing to worry about, plants are still healthy a vigorous  8)
Some say it could be a bunrt, but this plant was in a 2nd row from the sun and even didn't touch the window' glass....and only 2 leafs...nonsense.

I'm glad it's nothing wrong.

Time for update.

That's it for now, gotta go.
Cheers!

Love that Jalapeno flower.

Nice job man ;D
Plants looking great  ;D

Thx!
But what can I do to make Jalapenos more bushy, and to grow more horizontally?

Maybe more space and planty of sun will help? What'ya think?

That helps but you had to use scissors then you get more bushy plant.

what should I cut?

Cutting makes the branches divide. If you cut the end (just below the point where the new branch is growing new leaves) of a new branch, it will start dividing from the point where the topmost leaf on that branch is. And it also starts to produce new branches from the other leafpoints on that branch that you cut. So if you cut all the new branches after lets say 4 leaves, you get a nice bushy plant in some time :)

after 4 leafs from up or bottom? :D
I really don't know, maybe You could paste any picture  ::)

From the bottom, sorry for a bit bad explanation. Just cut the new branches end so that after cutting you have a branch with a few leaves on it. Like I've done here on the no. 1 place. You see the no.2 that's the part you should cut away. There will still be a few leaves on the branch. You don't have to count the exact number of leaves you leave there, just as long as there are a few spots where the new branches can start growing from. (Sorry I'm a bit bad at explaining things easily :P)

There're also some little pods on Cayennes' Golden, but I think plant is too small, so I'm pinching off every new bud to keep'em grow in strengh  8)
Tall and slim Jalapenos have cut few bottom branches now, and the also like some moreo room to grow.

Cheers!

BTW:

Two very interesting peppers you have crossed there will be most interested to see the results,Good luck  :)

thx Talas

Hope the cross goes well would love a few seeds of that if it does my friend as its an intresting cross indeed and lovely photos to   :)

Will be no problem :)
And about the cross polination:
If it works fruits would be similar to the others on the plant, but the seeds will be the seeds of F1 plants. Am I right?


EDIT:There was no question! It was late and I've been tired, of course they will be the seeds of F1, hahaha  ;D

Great Garden your've got going there Pavlak
also an interesting cross, Jalapeno Purple x Cyklon

Thx!
We have only few polish varietes, 3 I think  :-\ (Cyklon, Tajfun, Bronowicka Ostra), so it's high time to create something new.
Chilis are just starting to be popular here, so maybe it's MY TIME :)

Hi!
My friend received some seeds from Poland. They became tiny pretty plants looking very similar to Nosegay/Holiday cheer but with elongated conical fruits. I do not have pic of ripe fruit, but it has a carrot-like color. And shape can be seen on pics here http://spice-blog.ru/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=597
Do you know what var it is?

Hi Jah!
I'm sure it's not polish commerial var., ornamental? Maybe, but not polish.
You wrote it's similar to Nosegay/Holiday, but pods are different, not round.
I give a shot, for me it's Purira.

The plant is similar, not the fruits :) It's 15 cm tall same as Nosegay. Not 18 to 24 inches :D

haha, sorry, we haven't understood  ;D

So I'll try one more time.
On our polish forum one guy uploaded few photos of small chili he's growing successfully year after year.
It's small, looking ornamental but he claims that pods taste great and are pretty hot.
But he wrote a question about it's variety, becouse he just didn't know.
There's a few examples, and I think this time I won't miss :)

Here's the link:

http://www.habanero.pl/forum/index.php?topic=281.0 (http://www.habanero.pl/forum/index.php?topic=281.0) 

Oh, he has a generic ornamental variety from Holland. It's really good, and it can be red and yellow. I have such plants too (it's yellow var http://spice-blog.ru/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=611 :) )
But it's absolutely different var :)

So I don't have any idea  :-[

I don't know what's happening with some of my Cayennes and Cyklons.
I've changed fertilizer, from strong concentrated Polish one to Chili Focus maybe 2 weeks ago.
And now few bottom leafs and several buds turned light green, almost yellow. Few buds even fell off.
Today I've found Cayennes with hunging/pendant leafs.

Tell You what. When changed fertilizer, I've also changed the way of watering. Eariler I'd watered them from the bottom, pouring water on trays under pots. Now I pour water from the top of the pot. Maybe I'm overwatering now?!

Or maybe have to use Chili Focus more often, than 2 times a week, or maybe less water?
Now I'm using 1,5-2L(+7,5ml of CHili Focus on 1L) of water on 20 plants.

BTW: I'd like to underline that only Cayennes and Cyklons have the problem, other vars. are stiff with nice green big leafs.

If we see some photos of ill leaves and whole plants, we would be able to say something. That can happen for different reasons, f.e. too low nitrogen, overwatering, low light, but also because of roots rot or burn. And even heat may cause that.

Photos are poor quality, becouse my camera is a trash.
Today I'll take her digital and catch better pictures.

More yellow leafs than on others

Heat and burn - no, for sure, It's still raining for 4-5 days in Warsaw
temperature indoors is still the same.
Low light? hmm, maybe. There's almost no sun now.
But I'm betting on overwatering or lack of nitrogen.
What You think?

Chilli Focus is unfortunately a very poor fertilizer..Used it myself and found it hopeless..Unlike some of the Ionic products used in hydro,Or Clonex C.Focus is definitely there worst product myself and number of people have found your better without it.

Looks wrong soil pH for me... Maybe it's the fertilizer, maybe overwatering. Start from check pH and definitely change your fertilizer since this one won't work :) Try to let the soil dry well until leaves shrivel and hang, than water with about a half of maximally possible amount. Then wait again until the soil dry out and water again. Repeat 3-4 times. That will let normalize pH if the soil became too acid because of overwatering.
I noticed that various varieties can do different ways in bad soil. Chinenses mostly keep their pretty leaves color even in too acid and poor soil. And cayennes loose foliage quickly in such soil. My mistake was to add some wooden sawdusts to ground. It was acid and poor of nitrogen.
Btw, ain't that coconut peat? My plants did not love it too. For same reasons I guess.

It's very strange for me. Since I've started to use Chili Focus plants are massivele producing new foliage, flowers are blooming, and pods are growing faster. Also little seedings made 2nd pair of true leafs in just few days.
But on the other side those turning pale leafs......maybe Jah's right and it's really all about soil pH. Besides of overwatering(this is for sure) Cayennes and Cyklons have problems with nitrogen absorption.
On Tuesday I'll measure soil pH at my university, unfortunately can't do it earlier.

BTW: Lee's using Chili Focus and deals supergreat.

Yes looking at your pictures of your soil/Coir the coir is very strange looks like way to much coir in there should only be about 20% coir with a combination of peat and loam and whatever else you add to your mix  :o

I've got a mix of soil and peat, and it's written it's good for seedeings and repotting.
This coir on the top in onlu on upper 2cms, just to fulfill pots.

I'm considering repotting plants to larger containers, and it's associated with new soil of course, but I don't have time :(.
I'm trying to write my Master's Thesis, and want to finish it in 2 weeks. So chiles have to wait  :-X

Then its more obvious that those 2 specific plants have some kinda problem. Don't think its the focus

Adding photos of few pods.
Cyklon pods are 3,5-4 inches and nicely red when matured, if anyone would ask :)

I'm still waiting Cyklons to ripen. Their pods are getting bigger and bigger, most of them are over 10cm long and 3-4cm diameter on the top, but no signs of red colour here :) I can't wait to try them.

One question to jalapeno growers: how big exactly are mature pods of jalapeno purple? I know they're a bit smaller but......there's some discrepancy in sizes.

Jala Purple about 3-5 Inches had a few smaller nice pods and very tasty,Looking forward to hearing about the taste of your Cyklon and crosses  :)

Now, I'm waiting for some Habanero Orange flower buds to cross it with Cyklons.

I'm writing my master's thesis so there's a little bit lack of time to do anything, but....
Some sort of update is needed.
We moved several of ours chiles to greenhouse. It's a bit old but it's for free and it's got exactly what we need for this and next season :)
Yesterday pots were changed from silly 1,5 to almost 10L, and the owner of few greenhouses there - Expermental Agriculture Institute surprised us with 200L of free high-class soil.
The rest of chiles and young fast growing chiles gonna be transported from my place to GH after my defending thesis. I hope till 2 weeks, so keep YOUR fingers crossed for me and my girlfriend!!

And now the photos:

How about the rest? Habaneros are blooming...a lot.
2 Hot Waxes got some aphids, and neem-oil helped a lot.
And it's very VERY hot with huge humidity here in Warsaw so plants are getting bigger and bigger even when looking at them.
I can only say that 35 C all week long coused chiles need lacecloths again. Earlier hardening off was insufficient :D


Cheers,

Nice greenhouse :) (I must figure out where I can put one for next season!)

Nice work Pavlak. the greenhouse is quite impressive, I envy you.  :)

Sure glad I finished my study. Hard work sure does pay off.. succes with the thesis :D

But that GH is a wannahave.. great man!!

THX m8s for your warm words.
There's only one problem, GH is up 80km from my place, just by my girlfriend's house. So till defending my thesis I won't even visit it :(.
But there's a good message too. This or MORE probably next week almost all my plants: 25 big + 15 small ones are going to GH too  ;D
We're gonna make some sort of forest there.

I'm leaving maybe 2 habaneros orange, 2 jalapenos purple, and crosses at my place to be just in touch with cool pods :)


OK, I'm going back to writting,

Cheers

hope to see those plants go into explosive growth in that GH, good luck

Can't wait to see the forest :)

Good luck with your thesis.

After defending our thesis, and some sort of vacation, we're gonna rent something. Live with girlfiend's parents....come on guys :)
Today I've sent my thesis to my dr. and now I'm waiting for acceptance.
Hance, jalapenos purple, cayennes golden, thai dragons and cyklons are massively rippening :) tasting good  ;D

Gonna upload some photos in a few days, and I'm gonna to see GH this week probably  ;D ;D ;D

hi there,
last pictures were updated on 4th of July, but now after submiting my master's thesis to deanery I've got some free time.
Here are photos taken 16-17 of July, so a week ago. Tommorow I'll try to upload present ones, due to my girlfriend told me about a little revolution in the GH :)

What else, crossess are rippening (cyklon x jalapeno p. ; jalapeno p. x cyklon). Pity that summer is almost on halfway so
I have to wait for next season to sow new seeds (of Cyklopeno? Cyklops? :D :D )


Cheers!

I'm back to reality after graduating and defending my masters' thesis :)

Every single Cyklon is growing uniquely, this plant has a V shape, those on the sides are "full cap"  :D

Don't know how yours, but my plants don't want to stop fruiting  ;D it's gonna be a long autumn this year  ::)

Well... that's one "problem" with good varieties... they continously keep on producing pods!!

Isn't it nice? :)
