Hot Cherry Peppers [11/04/2021] [TERMINATED}

[mike]

Started Hot Cherry Peppers on the Farm XL where the Real Deal Peppers were.

Added 16 ml Nutes.

[Shawn]

These are going to be great.  I  love Hot Cherry Peppers

[mike]

Wow, it's been seven years since I grew these. This pic is from 12/03/2014.

They really do look like cherries!  

[Sher]

They are beautiful, mike. I bet the plants look like little Christmas trees when the peppers ripen.

[Shawn]

I was telling Mark about them and he wants me to put them on my TBG list.

At Christmastime in 2014, I made this amazing fermented sauce. The only hassle is the seeds. After straining, I think I had half a dozen 5-ounce bottles of 'Bomb Sauce'. It had a ton of flavor, and it wasn't too hot.

There's only going to be two plants here (I hope). These don't impress me much, yet.

Hmmm...are you a Shania Twain fan?  

[mike]

I only like Country before 1980.

Fair enough.  Might I ask what is the music preference these days?  You don't have to answer.  Just curious.  Me?  I'm not too picky.  I just like music!  

[mike]

As a former musician, my tastes are pretty numerous. At work, it's 60s and 70s Rock (Mostly because of my assistant), at home it's Classical and Smooth Jazz. I love Old Country. I also like solo artists like Norah Jones and Michael Buble. What I can't stand is Rap, Opera, Bagpipes, Accordian or Polkas. Oh, I love Big Band. (I used to play sax and woodwinds.)

Very cool.  How about Billy Vera?  

I'm with you on the Rap and Opera.  Around here though, DH loves the Accordion and he grew up with Polkas (he lived with his Grandparents and they were big Lawrence Welk fans).  

To get back more on topic: Have you ever had Mountain Peppers?  Mikey's "uncle" down the street from his grandparents used to grow them and his wife always kept a big jar of pickled Mountain Peppers.  I understand they are incredibly hot!

I hope I didn't mess these up. Nutes were due. I added 10 ml CALiMAGic before I remembered it is only 2 weeks.  I don't have time tro flush them before work.

16 ml Nutes added, 10 ml CALiMAGic added.

** Note: I wrote down the wrong amount of 24 AG Nutrients this Morning. I did get the correct amount of 16 ml AG Nutes. The problem was I added the CALiMAGic first to both gardens before I realized it was only two weeks in. I added the correct amount of AG Nutes. I am going to let it ride to see the effect.

[mike]

Well folks, I've decided to change how I photograph my plants from now on. I tried using a black backdrop behind the gardens. You can really see the plants more clearly.

Today I thinned all plants down to one plant.

Let me know your opinion.

[campingcorgis]

Good job!

[Sher]

Yes, I like the black background, mike.  It keeps the focus on the little plants.

[ERR0R1755]

I like the black background better as well.

[mike]

Not good. I woke up to these plants flopped over. I guess they can't handle the CALiMAGic yet. I dumped the water and refilled with tap water. I will let these run for a few hours before adding nutes.

Funny, the Hot Banana seedlings seem to love the CALiMAGic.

Added 16 ml Nutes. They are already standing back up.

[Shawn]

At least they are standing back up.

The plants on this Farm XL are not  performing very well. It looks like the lowest the light will go is quite a bit higher than the Farm Pluses. Hmm...
