No surprise has happened since last time I did an update other than a padron pepper that had bent over but recovered quickly. Everything just sort of gets bigger.
Although my Hungarian wax got a bit stunted since I couldn't provide enough light for them to bear fruits and grow at the same time. So I was forced to cut the fertilized flowers. But they seem to be catching up. A single 40w led bulb seems to be good enough to grow the plants. Fruits can't be sustained.
My ghost pepper had a growth spurt and is now getting quite large with leaves the size of my hand. The padron peppers are complaining as usual but they keep growing regardless. The jalapenos seem to have no complaints.
Right now I am plowing through a ton of hydroponic fertilizer which seems to work amazingly for the growth of my plants even though it was never meant for it. I went from 4ml in total for every two waterings to 8ml every time I give them water. What's in there? Who knows but my peppers keep getting bigger.
I have prepared the greenhouse with cow manure and begun hardening my plants off. Annoyingly we have a time called Eisheiligen where the temperature gets really cold rather suddenly especially overnight. And it seems like it has happened earlier than last year. At least I can get them out earlier this year.
Much to my surprise a dormant guest has awakened from the soil… I guess I am doing tomatoes now too.
