[KiNGDeNNiZ]

Just wondering. How many days for this to germ. ?!? Can i combine 10 plants and stack them on top of each other. ??

If we're going by Eastern...I can start my seeds at 9:00 pm June 3rd!!!

Here's the spot! May make one more location, but may put all the eggs in this here basket.

Don't like my odds...

[armac]

what about rootstock grafting? acceptable or no?

 

[SanPatricio]

Hey Tim, Are ya' thinking of a graft onto a six year old Manzano you have growing in your garden ? ?

 

[queequeg152]

no, more like grafting a baby bacctum onto a baby tomato rootstock.

im planning on poping the whole seed pack... selecting the best 6 as candidates for repoting. 4 will make it to 3 gallons... 2 will make it to 10... 1 will make it to the 50gallon ish container.
what ever seedlings are not going to be used will be tinkered with in one way or another.

its unlikely a tom root stock would do much, as bacctums are so damn vigorous already. ive seen people using them for annum rootstock before for that very reason.

 

[wayright]

Hell yea!!
Graft a Pepper to the Tomato,then and add a side branch of cilantro!

i should mention that ive failed like 22/22 times grafting toms to peppers... got some new tricks to try this time however...superglue is one of them.

all the books say its possible, however my inarticulate fingers say...

"nope cant do that... not possible, sorry"- fingers.
