What's wrong with your waterfarm locato? In two months the growth rate has been very poor (comparison) Do cuttings grow as fast as seedlings anyway?

[Fatalii]

Funny that you mention it... I just took some pics of it... I will make a full update soon, but before that, compare here:

The start took very long, for a few reasons:
shock from transfering, and hardening-off in the cold cellar.

Same thing with Grif 9345 last year.
Once it starts to grow.. it grows at amazing speed!
So, it's better to start early enough so the plants can enjoy the whole sunny season!

[Omskakas]

Yes, cold cellar might be the explanation.

Btw. do you think hardening off is worth it? Because I think that if you had kept the plant warm enough the size might be now quadruple of what it is now.

[Fatalii]

Moving plants as early as possible into the greenhouse hardening-off is quite necessary to prevent the plants from dying to extremely cold nights.
Movin plants from indoors (20+) to greenhouse and cold night ~5 degrees can be lethal (or even more stunning) for non-hardened-off plants.

Cold side of the greenhouse in use!

Movin plants from indoors (20+) to greenhouse and cold night ~5 degrees can be lethal (or even more stunning) for non-hardened-off plants.

Hmmm... My babies (2xannuum, 2xchinense, 2xpubescens) have spent now 3 nights outside with night temperatures around 5 degrees and are doing just fine and even growing during daytimes. This is of course without hardening. Maybe I've been little lucky with my varietes being cold tolerant.  :?

[Fatalii]

Yes but most often you get the best results with hardening-off.
Shocks are always bad for chiles.

Most of my plants didn't even notice the transfer because they were transferred first to cellar where the temperature was dropped little by little after every few days.
Works much better than before when I just tossed the plants from indoors into the cold greenhouse.
With lace cloths it't much easier to harden-off the plants for both, for the sun and for the cool nights.
