Grow Updates – 2018

Pepper grow update for 10/17/18. This is the final outdoor grow update for 2018. I also show peppers that I harvested.

This is an update on my pepper grow, close to the end of the season. Most of the plants are doing well, but have lots of ripe to over ripe peppers to pick still.

2018 Pepper grow update #18 for 9/16/18. This is a short update, covering the plants on my porch. Not much change on my drip system plants, and it was raining outside. The peppers plants on my porch are in Kratky method systems, with float valves to maintain a static nutrient level for each plant.

This is my bi-weekly pepper grow update for 2018. I'm way behind on harvesting, plants are doing well. The video quality is off in some parts of the video, as I was testing out a new recording app. I don't have all the settings down.

This is my pepper grow update for 7/21/18. I'm starting to see more plant growth and fruit production with some turning ripe. The pepper shown in the thumbnail is a Ghor-Pion, which is a cross between Bhut Jolokia and Butch T Scorpion. All of my drip irrigation system parts comes from Drip Depot: https://goo.gl/tnSsUo

This is an update on my pepper grow for 7/8/18. The plants are doing very well, and I'm seeing some interesting pod shapes, especially on the Chocolate Ghost Jami. All of my drip irrigation system parts comes from Drip Depot: https://goo.gl/tnSsUo

Pepper grow update for 06/09/18. The plants are doing well and adjusting nicely to the drip system setup so far. I'm starting to see new plant growth on all of them, and several are starting to produce pods. All of my drip irrigation system parts comes from Drip Depot: https://goo.gl/tnSsUo

Update on pepper plant out. As of this video, half have been moved to the drip system. All of my drip system parts came from Drip Depot: https://goo.gl/tnSsUo These are the drip emitters that I use: https://goo.gl/Z49P33

I put my plants outside for the first time today, starting the hardening off process. I'm hoping to have them planted next week on the drip system. I noticed today that I have a Reaper x Moruga Scorpion pod already. I feel like I'm getting a late start outside, but considering the head start they got indoors, I think we are in good shape.

Pepper grow update #7. It's almost time to start hardening these off and putting them outside. I still have a lot of work to do setting up my drip system and sourcing containers. Aerogarden Bounty - https://goo.gl/U3SRSH Aerogarden Sprout - https://goo.gl/8t5k2X Grow Tent - https://goo.gl/3kZuem

This is an update on my pepper grow for March 31, 2018. I still have a few to transplant out of the aerogardens. The pepper in self-watering trays are doing well, for the most part, some slight yellow on a few of the peppers, but most are showing good color and growth. A few have started producing pods.

I mentioned this project in the previous pepper grow update, and put it together over the weekend. I'm growing Holy Basil that I started in the wicking germination/sprouting bottles (https://youtu.be/xHC7qnS4yCI) I transplanted them to a shallow 10-gallon tote. Initially, it'll function as a Kratky design, but as the nutrient level drops to a certain point, the installed float valve will allow nutrients in from a 5-gallon reservoir, maintaining a static level of nutrients from that point forward.
