[background=rgb(255, 244, 228)]Numbers in red are changes since last germ update. Still a bunch of no-shows, but I think I am going to have a good week. I'm already seeing action on the seeds I planted last weekend so hopefully a few more days cooking and I will be in business on many of the no-show varieties. I am also seeing some new action on the original seeds, so hopefully more of them will pop as well. I want to note I had mis-credited several varieties. The Cumari, PI438638 and Yellow Billy Boy were actually sent to me by Jamie (Romy6) I have corrected them in the original planting list as well.[/background]

[background=rgb(255, 244, 228)]Here are a few more pics of what I got going on out there...Little brother big brother theme today.[/background]

This TSMB[background=rgb(255, 244, 228)](Bakers Peppers) [/background]has a very thickened stem...and reminds me of a tiny palm tree...

Here is big brother TSMB [background=rgb(255, 244, 228)](Bakers Peppers)[/background]...this plant is really starting to make a move! Really pleased with the setup so far.

Little and big brother's same photo. Another of Jamie's Mystery Annuums decided to hook up after transplant. This one will get moved to its own pot like the extra Aji did in yesterday's post...

Here is the little Goat's Weed that could. You see the dead material near the node? that is what both cotys looked like when it sprouted! Thought it was a goner, but nobody told this little dude! lol...love these plants.

Here is big brother Goat's Weed...l mentioned before that these are from different seed stock than last year's, so they may turn out slightly different. I like what I'm seeing so far though!

Here is another crazy one...this little PI438638(Romy6) had all of one and 3/4 of the other coty amputated in an unfortunate seed helmet surgery and it still decided to put out some true leaves!!! Will be slow for a bit, but once it gets a couple real deal leaves out there he'll catch up...

This is the little PI438638's (Romy6) big brother...a little droopy from a long night under the hot lights, but the lights kicked off shortly after this pic was taken and he got a drink...fastest vertical grower, and may be a good candidate for some cloning soon!

Non alert...don't continue if you hate all things non pepper.

A couple brownies I let sit out too long after baking... :high:

...wait no these are peat pellets with some chia-like snapdragons sprouting. I divided 18 pellets that looked like this into 50 peat pots.

One of the Pomegranate sprouts...but look at the blurry label to the Southwest...yeah buddy got him some good neighbors!

Here is a pic of the tater pot I showed yesterday before planting...could make your own easy enough. Just a pot with windows inside a pot without. It was only $10 and came with the planting medium and seed potatoes so I went with it. My son should have some fun with this one this season.

That's all for now folks. Hope to have a big week in the germ trays...think I will. See you all next weekend! I may not make it home mid week, so probably no updates 'till Saturday....or maybe this afternoon. :rofl:

I sure hope so Rick..they're taking up valuable real estate on the grow shelves!

Jamison · Jan 27, 2013

Lookin stellar buddy! Them things are really taking off! Got it going on out west!

stickman · Jan 27, 2013

Mos' def... Love the little bro/big bro shots!

griff87 · Jan 27, 2013

Nice Shane! Liking the little bro, big bro theme. Funny how things worked out. Hope you get more of your varieties to get started!

patrick · Jan 27, 2013

I've got a 7 Primo that lost 90% of it's cotyledons due to a surgical mistake too, hope it does as good as your little PI438638 did.

Good luck with your grow Shane.

ThePepperManiac · Jan 27, 2013

looking GOOD

Trippa · Jan 27, 2013

Looking like its going gangbusters over there Shane!!

With the pomegranates do you simply save the seeds from a ripe pomegranate and dry them and place them in soil?? Or do you need to do something else to them or buy specific seeds??

Thanks Jamison! Still a ways to go, but I am satisfied so far!

Thanks Rick, didn't have it in mind until I noticed all my pics kinda followed that theme on their own.

Thanks Griff, like I said they worked it out for me...didn't even notice 'till I started posting the pics. I hope more pop too, there are some I really want to grow out...HP22, Brain, Monster Infinity, Ultra Pube, Giant Twisted Chocolate Hab...not to mention the Pequin Chiapas you sent me last year. More will sprout...but I already have more plants than I intend to keep so I'll be alright!

Best of luck with your little one Patrick...I was lucky with the two I had come back. Fingers crossed for you buddy!

I grabbed that pomegranate from a plant growing in the roadside while out taking pics. The seeds were cleaned then planted...not even dried. I dried and saved some more of the seeds for potential future projects. A couple of the ones that came up will go in the ground and a couple will be grown in containers for bonsai. I read starting from harvested seeds works fine, but a couple years before production.

Night all!

PIC 1 · Jan 27, 2013

Great camera shots. The germ rates are right on par. Give it some time and the percentages will go up. I almost gave up on a tray of seeds that was one of the first planted. They are all popping up a few at a time each day. I,ve got some Goats Weeds coming up to the first set of trues. Me and my magnifying glass.......I 'm checking them out for looking for that fuzzy appearence every day.......... :crazy:

Keep cool dude!

Chewi · Jan 29, 2013

stc3248 said:
Chewi, last year was my first year growing them and I will ALWAYS have a plant or two now. They have a flavor/texture similar to a cayenne, but less sweet and more heat. VERT hot for an annuum. Huge plant with tons of pods, and the plant is stunning to look at. The leaves are light greyish green fuzzy the pods start green, then black and finally to bright red. Great for flakes (roasted or lightly smoked), fine powder or sauce. Never tried them in salsa??? Their only minor draw back is they are very seedy, but the seeds are small, and I don't mind seeds in my flakes. The seeds I used this year are from a different source so the plants may be a bit different. Some plants grow more upright, some sprawl, some have upright pods and some pendant. I hope the plants are similar to the ones from last year...

Thanks for the feedback! Going to get me some for sure now. Sounds like a winner!

romy6 · Jan 29, 2013

Just another amazing grow Shane. I think this one may hit 100,000 views if you keep up the stellar updates. Really glad to see you have decided to keep the mystery annuum going too. Let me know if you need anymore seeds

Yeah the wife wouldn't like me for that

Beehunter · Jan 29, 2013

So secret, it grows underground.

EDIT: Just noticed the germ rates and pics above. Nice shots and the seeds are starting to pop! Glad to see at least one BP is up. Come on, HP22B...and more BP's!

stc3248 · Jan 29, 2013

Shhhhh....I'm going underground. I could tell you guys about it, but I'd have to kill you!

WalkGood · Jan 29, 2013
