Very very nice carrot! I have gone for the erm cheapo approach lol
They look fab, nice one.

Hi Big J and Stuie...Thanks for the encouraging words and it sounds like some

good results all round..

I'm definately pleased with the rate of growth on the plants especially the Habs

and the Scorpions but would have even more of a sense of achievement if I'd have

propagated and brought them on using your methods...I was just fortunate enough

to have spare lighting etc this year and only had to bump up the glasshouse temp

by a few degrees...no-one could fail but get good results this way I'm sure..

Would love to see some pics of your plants and know what varieties they are..

Been feeding them with a nitrogen(N) biased fertiliser to encourage leaf growth

and will be switching to a Potassium(K) biased one to promote flowering and fruit

with Phospherous(P) remaining average for the roots...Nothing scientific in the

method...just simple trial and error..the way I like it

Came across some evidence of snails/slugs in the glasshouse yesterday...deployed

a ring of chemical defences inside...I didn't hang about and used blueys inside

as there's no risk of secondary kill being a contained environment..

Not sure what other pests and diseases Chillies are vulnerable too but I'll find

out soon enough I guess and also I'm curious as too how big each variety grows..

Look forwards to seeing some pics..

Cheers

One of the Krakatoas and Explosive Embers.....Sown 3.5 months ago.

Both varieties have buds appearing...

They look very healthy! Nice effort. Is that vermiculite on top of the soil or just gravel?

Good job my man, you should get a good crop from those. Enjoy!
