Test progress

This year I sowed Santa Claus twice and using two methods - in Jiffy peat tablets and in containers with nutrient soil.
The first time, on February 21, I selected 10 seeds and soaked them in a solution of potassium permanganate for 20 minutes. Next, I planted 3 seeds in peat tablets soaked in a solution of HB-101. The container with the plantings was placed in a plastic bag and placed on the table near the radiator, where the temperature varied from 25 to 27 degrees. Twice a day I looked into the greenhouse and turned the other side towards the radiator.

Soaked 7 seeds in the HB-101 solution for 12 hours. After 12 hours, I placed the seeds on a cotton pad moistened with settled water until they hatched. Disks with seeds are placed in a container and placed near a heating radiator, where the temperature is 25-27 degrees. Twice a day I unrolled the discs for ventilation and control. If necessary, additionally moisten with water.

On February 25, one seed hatched. 26.02 + 2 seeds out of 7 hatched. 1 of them was sown in an individual cup with soil spilled with settled tap water. I sowed 6 seeds in a common container with soil, also spilled with settled water.

Shoots of the first sowing:

• 1.03 - 1 loop in a peat tablet + 1 loop in the soil (cup).
• 5.03 – 1 sprout
• 7.03 – 1 sprout
• 10.03 – 1 sprout
• 15.03 – 1 sprout
• 21.03 - 1 loop

Total 7 shoots out of 10. Germination rate 70%. The first leaves of the first sowing:

• 8.03 the first leaves appeared on two separately planted peppers
• 12.03 at the 3rd pepper
• 14.03 at the 4th pepper
• 18.03 at the 5th pepper
• On March 26, real leaves appeared on the 6th pepper.

The first leaves of Santa Claus appeared 6-11 days after germination.
The rise of Santa Claus

Since the seedlings were in no hurry to appear, it was decided to carry out a control sowing in the ground with a minimum of tillage. On March 1, I soaked 10 seeds in very warm (45 degrees) water for 40 minutes. Prepared a nursery with soil. She spilled the soil with settled warm tap water, made furrows and sowed the seeds at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other and 4 cm between the rows. She covered the greenhouse with a lid and placed it on the table next to the radiator. The temperature before germination was +24-26 degrees.

Seedlings of double sowing: Shoots began to appear after almost 3 weeks.

• 20.03 - 6 shoots.
• 24.03 - 2 more shoots.

In total, 8 out of 10 seeds sprouted.
Germination rate 80%. The overall percentage of germination from two crops is 75%.

The first true leaves of double sowing:

• 28.03 - first leaves on 4 bushes.
• 29.03 - 2 more peppers.
• 1.03 - plus 1 bush with a real leaf.
• 7.03 - plus 1 bush with a real leaf.

Seedlings of double sowing
When the first shoots appeared, I did not remove the lid for several days, as the depth of the dish and the transparent walls that let in light allowed. After 3 days, I removed the lid from the nursery and placed it on a table near the windowsill, where the temperature is +16...+18 degrees Celsius. The window faces northeast, and therefore from 8 a.m. until 10-11 p.m., the seedlings are illuminated with two 100-watt energy-saving lamps. As needed, approximately once every two to three days, watering is carried out with settled or filtered tap water, heated slightly above room temperature. In April I started opening the window for the day. First for micro-ventilation, and when it became above +10 outside - for ventilation.

Picking seedlings was also carried out in several stages at different times.

On March 21, I planted a bush growing in a peat tablet in a 200 ml glass of soil. The roots pierced through the tablets and urgently asked to be buried in the ground. Before transplanting, I used scissors to cut the winding on the tablets and removed it.

04/02/2018 - picking peppers from the ground. Their height by this day was 13 cm in an individual cup, 9 cm, 7 cm, 7 cm, 5 cm and 2 cm. When picking, the peppers were buried by 2-3 cm.

Picking the first sowing

On April 26, I picked the 5 most developed double-sown plants, 10-12 cm tall, into 500 ml cups.

I first placed containers with seedlings on the north-eastern windowsill. Watering as needed with settled tap water. In the third ten days of April I moved it to the south side to get used to the sun.

On May 1, I took all the seedlings into the greenhouse, since the temperature outside was +25-30. In the evening I sprayed it with HB-101 solution and covered it with agril from the scorching sun. I opened both doors during the day and the window at night. The daytime temperature in the greenhouse first went over +40, then I pulled the covering material under the roof - and the daytime temperature dropped to +35. Polycarbonate greenhouse 6x3 m.

Last year there were two wide beds in which there were tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and, in one corner, cucumbers. In the fall, after harvesting the crops, they were sown with mustard and rye. In February, the mustard froze, but in early March all the green manure began to grow. In mid-April they were mowed down and dug up in the process of remaking the beds. Now there are 3 fenced beds in the greenhouse.

The soil was heavy gray loam. Several bags of crumbly horse humus and several buckets of sand were brought into the beds. Everything was mixed with a hoe. I poured the humi-preparation “Weave of black soil humus for fertility” on top. Acidity neutral 7 pH.

On May 6, in the morning, I chose 6 of the strongest bushes for planting in greenhouse soil. 5 bushes of the first sowing - their height was 19-26 cm. And 1 bush of the second sowing, 9 cm tall. 2 more babies were left in reserve.

Seedling

I prepared the holes by pouring two double handfuls of horse humus into them, poured in 1.5 liters of water, poured 1 tbsp. l. ash and eggshells.

Carefully, with a lump of earth, she removed the plants from the container, placed them in the holes, and filled them with water. Then she filled it in, compacting it with soil. I poured more water on top. In total, each bush took 4 liters of water. She took water from a barrel where she filled it with snow at the beginning of April.

The seedlings were planted according to a 35x40 cm pattern in the northern bed. Last year there were tomatoes here. In this one, the entire bed is dedicated to sweet peppers and eggplants (at the opposite end).

Planted in the ground

At night, I poured Fufanon Nova solution over the plants, over the leaves, from a watering can against mysterious gnawing pests.

By May 25, buds appeared on all the bushes. On June 1, the first flowers began to appear. By June 9-10, small ovaries could already be seen. But I waited a couple of days to take pictures so that I could see the ovaries in the photographs.

First ovaries

I did not remove the crown ovaries.

Active ripening began at the end of July, when the warmth returned.

Maturation of Santa Claus

I usually start picking peppers at technical ripeness, but due to testing this year I waited until they were fully ripe.

Sweet harvest. Father Frost

Taste and characteristics of fruits

The fruits are fleshy, sweet, juicy and aromatic.
I enjoyed eating it in its pure form, in a salad, or stuffed. Mostly the fruits were cubic quadrangular in shape, but some were elongated pyramidal, and on one bush that was overfed with the NV-101 stimulant, even terry. "Santa Claus" in section

Care

After transplanting into the greenhouse, many of my peppers began to be gnawed by someone, although Santa Claus was damaged less.
Fufanon Nova treatment was carried out. On May 15, I sprayed it with HB-101 solution. On May 25, I treated it with a solution of Tobacco soap. On June 1, I treated with Fitosporin-m universal solution. Watering 1-2 times a week with settled water from a barrel. Ventilation. During the day, the doors to the greenhouse are wide open. At night, depending on the weather, either they are closed, or I open the windows; if it’s warm, one door is open. In May the heat was 30 degrees (in the greenhouse over 40), June was cold: +10 at night, +15 during the day and without sun. It was warm in July, but it rained relentlessly for 3 weeks. The ground was mulched with straw. In August the heat returned to +30. Watering in summer and autumn once every 2 weeks, periodically with the addition of Fitosporin-M.

Sweet pepper Santa Claus was removed on October 21 at the age of 220-240 days. Plant height is 55-60 cm, a couple of bushes are 80 cm.

21.10, before final cleaning

There are still 30 small fruits left on the bushes that cannot be used for food. And so I transplanted 4 bushes into a tank with soil and took them home.
