Hello THP members!
This is actually my first post on THP forum. I hope everyone else is as excited to grow as I am this year because I am super pumped. Last season, I grew Bhut Jolokias for the first time and now I am addicted to super hots. I figured I would document this year's progress as a guide to new growers out there. Anyways, let me bring ya'll up to speed!
I begin germinating my seeds in early February. I'm considering starting them even earlier next season. Most plants sprouted within 10 days, but I had a few that just now germinated this week. I never give up on a stubborn seed; some take 40+ days to spring into action. My best success seems to stem from (no pun intended) the paper towel method. After the taproots emerge, I drop my seeds into solo cups containing my 'secret' potting mix.
Here is my grow box where all the magic happens (this photo was taken March 9th)
Here are a couple pics of my strongest growers so far:
Bhut Jolokia: Began germination 6 weeks ago
