Sorry I haven’t been around a lot lately folks. My job tends to get a little hectic around holidays. Regardless, I am still gardening.
I am using my Autopots again this year. I am using Canna coco coir with General Hydroponics Maxibloom nutrients, Cannazym, Canna Boost, and Floralicious Plus. My choice in plants this year is a patio tomato, baby finger sweet peppers, Cherokee Purple heirloom tomato, Fooled You jalapenos, and of course Bhut Jolokia peppers.
The Patio tomato tops out at about 2 feet. The catalog description says they make quarter to golfball sized fruits, but mine tend to be the size of a raquetball clustered tightly around the stem.
My Bhut Jolokia peppers this year came from Hirt’s Gardens. My clones from my indoor garden succumbed to pythium while I went on vacation. I didn’t feel like waiting a week for more to root, so I bought more. We will see how these turn out.

Did you try growing Bhut Jolokia peppers from seeds saved from last year? I haven’t had much luck getting them to germinate over here…though I have been enjoying the Bhut Jolokia pepper powder I made from the pods in my chili and BBQ rub.
I might need to purchase a plant online as well…
I’ve grown the patio princess this year and is doing very well. Actually I have a couple, and are so far my best producers. (One in a NFT type system and the other in a drip bucket type system)

I had a few issues with nutrients with my other tomato plants, but that is now worked out.
