21.11.2022 - they are stipped down by now, having their last 3 small'ish chilies and all of their green removed. Wish me luck to have one survive the winter down in the basement.

01.11.2022 - for now I got 11 fruits (or 386 gramms) off the plants, but I'd say I have to pick half of them at least a little early as they started blossom end rott. There are still some chilies on the -not so bad looking- plants.
The seeds didn't specify which variety of chilies they came from, but I came to the conclusion they should be some sort of "not so spicy" chilies. The first 2 peppers turned out mild, but then it turned out I was wrong the whole time. They turn more and more hot the closer we move to christmas. Some of the fruits had me crying.

image 04.08.2022 - seems the length of the chilies will stop at around 15-16cm as the biggest two kept that size for some days already. More smaller ones are accelerating to catch up tho.

image 25.07.2022 - the plants became much bigger, more ridgid and much darker green. They also started growing Chilies like two weeks ago and are accelerating fruit growth. The big one is 14cm long and just grew 2cm from yesterday's measurement!

image 25.06.2022 - potted up to final 10.5L pots. They're both 50cm above the soil by now and have gorgeous roots. I let one have flower buds to see what kind of chili they really grow

image 13.05.2022 - potting up the 3 plants from 1L to 4L pots. The tallest one is 29cm after being potted up.
With the fourth plant definitely being SOMETHING different, the new total is reduced to 3

image 24.04.2022 - potted up the fourth (last) plant to the bigger 1L pot, even though I don't think this was the same variety. Looks like some wrong seed came with the rest of the seeds. The leaves don't match any of my Chillies as they are was less pointy at the tip.

image 09.04.2022 - pottet up 3 of the 4 plants to 1L pots as they developed some roots throughout the whole soil and grew quite a bit. The fourth one doesn't have that much of roots and size yet, so it has to stay in its small 0.3L prison for some more time

image 18.03.2022 - The tallest of my plants so far, being 11cm tall. 3 are quite sturdy and good looking, but one has its own mind about how to grow
