  Thanks Paul, you're right that it didn't look quiiiite like that. It also hasn't shown up anywhere else so I'm happy about that!   I'll be starting to get the garden ready for plant out and making some up-potting moves soon so stay tuned for pics of larger grow bags in action

Here's my tortilla plant        

Does this look like BLS to anybody? I chopped it because I figured it wasn't worth the risk even if it's not that. Hope I got it before it spreads.    

Im actually in Ann Arbor area. I used to just drop the pH, first with vinegar and then with pH down but I still had problems. I just looked back at the water report, I think its the sodium at 60ppm and the chloride at 110

Just want to show off a few plant pictures. The ones in the smaller cells have taken off way more quickly since I switched water sources. I had been using my city tap water before, which comes out with weirdly high levels of sodium, calcium, and chloramine as well as some other stuff—altogether...

My Lemon Drop definitely smells kinda funky, I would say more like a green pepper though

These suckers certainly like shoots don't they?  

Thanks Paul! Of course that's cause I'm hiding the bad parts, but I'm happy with what I've got that's working well! That's as long as I don't watch you all too closely and see how quickly your plants grow compared to mine.    But from tips on this site I've started to see better growth with...

          I guess I deserve that...   But this plant will grow taller and stronger than the corn which made the tortilla it feeds off

    This is definitely very exciting, and it's made all the more exciting for me because I know I have the best cross. Out of all the possible crosses.    Here it is!

  That's pretty consistent with my Anuum experience from PL. Chinense have been fine but in my Anuum tray this year all of the empty spots are PL seeds. 

Little update with pictures. Lots of plants are growing pretty slow, I'm just showing the pretty ones!   Got life on the straw test seedling! I started using distilled water and pHing thoroughly, as well as decreased watering on it and it looks like no herbicide damage!     Goronong is still...

Looking good enough for me over here! Dont think I have any of the chinense pheno but might be a little early to tell on some

I dont think they look too bad at all. Maybe a little something with the crinkled leaves. Those purple stems are super common on seedlings like that. If anything just make sure to not let them stay as wet as they are in that picture for long!

Oh boy I wish you hadnt asked. Not great, it unfolded one leaf a bit and veeeerrry slowly. I assume its from overwatering because for a while I kept it way over watered, didnt know how effectively straw was holding moisture. Now the straw at the bottom is rotting maybe drawing N out of fert...
