Evening folks! Just got back from the UK and picked up some seeds while I was there. I'm growing in Abu Dhabi where I have some extreme temperatures to deal with outside, however hoping that atleast one of these manages to bear fruit!
I had a Bolivian Rainbow that I got as a seedling, and it eventually gave fruit, however it sat on a window sill it got watered every now and again, it didn't get much attention.
These may be typos, however they are all spelt as they were on the packet I received the seeds in;
Centennial - 10 seeds
Seven Pod/Seven Pot (Capsicum Chinense) - 10 seeds
NuMex Baily Piquin (Capsicum Annuum) - 10 seeds
Brain Strain - 10 seeds
Summer Fire - 10 seeds
Smokin' Ed's Carolina Reaper - 10 seeds
I've spaced the seeds out onto damp kitchen roll, covered, and then put in a zipper bag with a little air trapped inside. I've dumped them in a room that should average 31oC (87oF), one where we don't have the A/C on at all. I imagine germination will take around 7 days, apart from Brain/Strain and the Reapers (I've been told they can be 21 days).
No point in putting pictures of the kitchen roll on at this point I guess!
For the rest of this month, we expect temperatures ranging from 38-41oC (101-106oF) during the day, dropping to around 23oC (73oF) at night. Despite it being the middle of the desert here, it is actually quite humid (40-50%).
Next Month, it will get pretty brutal in temperature, not sure if these will burn to a crisp or not, however we will see.
Any tips for a pretty inexperienced grower (first time from seeds), especially taking into account the temperatures I'll be dealing with, would be very welcome. Otherwise, I'll just try and keep them alive best I can.
