Hello to everyone,... thanks for letting me join this list.

First of all I'd like to introduce myself, My name is Grant, I'm from Victoria in Australia and I've been growing chillies now indoors under 2x 400w hps for the last year now, first season I was using Rockwool slabs on a flood and drain system but for this season I have changed to using a recirculating  drip system with a coco coir/clay rock mix as a growing medium. Also I grow 25 diff types of chilli plants in 300mm pots, outdoors in soil but for next season I will be changing this to Coco coir/clay rock mix as well  with a drip system also and adding another 25 chilli types, it seems I get alot less problems growing in this media indoors, so lets see what happens next season outdoors. The chillis also grow much faster using hydro as compared to soil. I'll send a few pics soon.The plants I have growing right now are:
Bih Jolokia
Black Pearl
Bishops Crown
Dorset Naga
Habanero Chocolate
Habanero Orange
Habanero Peach
Habanero White Bullet
Habanero Peruvian White
Habanero Paper Lantern
Habanero Red Savina
Jalapeno
Naga Morich
Peter Pepper Red
Purple Cayenne
Purple Tiger
Royal Black
Scotch Bonnet red
Scotch Bonnet yellow
Tabasco
Tepin
Thai Birdseye, (bigger and fatter than the Thai Prik Kee Nu)
Thai Yellow
Thai Dragon
Some type of Vietnamese chilli
Some black plant which grows purple flowers, ripens to a bright red and is very hot, sweet and tastest like apricot???
The best of these I will overwinter inside the house and Green House I'm planning on making in the next 2 months, then hopefully take cuttings for next season to add to some newer seeds that I will get.

regards Grant
