Terminated 3/19/2021 - Petite Colour Peppers (11/03/2020)

[Sher]

Yay!!!  It looks like it will produce lots of peppers, too!

[Shawn]

My three plants are doing really well.  I spaced them out some more using one space from the other side of the Farm (with the removal of a plant from there).  They have more air circulation and room to grow now.

[Shawn]

In order of the pictures...

First is a far shot of two of the three.  The third is on the other side looking just as good.  The second thru fourth are a shot of each of the three plants to show you peppers and/or all the flowers and buds.

[Sher]

Makes me wish I had a Farm!

[Shawn]

Excuse the messy deck but here is a view... I need to take pictures of the peppers to see if each plant is different type of pepper.

[Sher]

It looks GREAT!

[Shawn]

Added 20ml nutes and mooch

[Shawn]

So I did a little digging into the plant leaves and found that some are growing downward and on another plant upward.  So at least I think I have two different varieties.  I need to look into the third a little more.

[Shawn]

Here is a close up of each plant (3)

[Sher]

They all look so healthy!

Yes, the top one is definitely a different variety. Not only is the fruit growing down, but the leaves are different.

It will be interesting to see the differences in color and taste of the peppers.

[Shawn]

There is a MESS on the deck I have not cleaned yet.  The vacuum is coming out today.   I may also do some interior leave trimming so they get some more air flow. 

You can see them hidden but also how they grow upwards.

[Shawn]

20ml nutes and mooch

[Shawn]

One of the three plants (the one will red peppers) has wilting leaves.  THe others in the same bowl are fine.

Any idea what is wrong?  (mike)  The water is fine, nutes were the same as was mooch.  Water change is due next feeding so it is not over saturated.

Oh dear!  Keeping fingers & paws crossed for your pepper plant!  

[Shawn]

I had 4 red peppers on the dying plant.  So I removed those and cut all the stems with no peppers and all the leaves off hoping to get those last peppers ripened.

The other two plants are doing well.

These are Petite for sure. Like the picture you can hold several in your hands

I will get a picture

[Shawn]

I was not liking how the plants are looking after the first one took a nose dive.  I decided to do an R&R. 

The water was way too yellow.  Have no clue why but I cleaned the basins and rinses the roots and put everything back.

Fed them only nutes.

Keeping fingers crossed they do well.

Here are the four I picked.  They could have ripened a bit more.


As far as a review...  They were just ok.  They were grassy tasting.  I think these would do best in a pickling situation.  I will taste again if more ripened now that I did the R&R

[Sher]

The yellow water is a mystery to me. Hope someone else can explain it!

I hate it when a pepper is just okay. That happened with my last pepper grow

[Shawn]

I do not think any of my peppers are going to make it.

Why?  Well maybe too much nutes or mooch.  With a combination of temp fluctuations.  We have had the door open and while there is no direct breeze the temps have been hot or cold in my house (for several reasons)...

I will know more tomorrow.  The worst thing is that I need to start fresh with  all new peppers.  That is not a bad thing because I love starting new.

[Shawn]

Out of the three plants, one was ended a couple weeks ago.  The the two were droopy.  Did the R&R and the two left were doing better.  Last night the one plant went downhill and I ended that.  However so far this one plant is doing good ....  as I said so far.

I am waiting on a new seed order to arrive.  Once it does I may or may not continue this one.

[campingcorgis]

That pepper plant does look great.  Beautiful even.  

Keeping good thoughts!
