cone9 - 2015 "Sunshine came softly a-through my a-window today"

Here we go.  It's hard to believe it's come around to the time to start seeds again.
 
This year's grow list is below.  My lights and germinating area are set up and ready to go.  I'll update as I really get started.  I'll be using Rootcubes again this year.  I had great success with them last season.  Seed sources are listed if they are other than saved from my 2014 grow.

Sweet mix, a few less common peppers in there too.  Best of luck with your season!

Thanks.   I find it interesting ti search out some of the more atypical varieties.

I'll start the chinense and the Queen Laurie (because it took so long last year) soon - maybe tonight.  Then, the rest as I get to them - within  couple weeks at least..

Thanks, Peter  I enjoy the process of researching the varieties I have available.

Alright Dave! It's on!
 
Here's to a mas successful season!

On indeed!  Excited to see the first hooks again!  I ended up with about 75 plants last year - I'll try to keep it under better control this year!

Really interesting list! Also fatalii cream that i didn't knew its existance until late 2014 season. ;)
Click to expand...
Thanks, Giancarlo.  Those Cream Fatalii are delicious but have almost no heat.  If it is something you'd be interested in I'd be happy to send you some seed.
 
Alright, Dave, welcome to the 2015 season.
 
Good luck with your grow,  Quite a few I haven't
heard of in your list!

Wow, many thanks! Maybe i'll ask on late fall. ;)

Lots of interesting peppers on that list. Can't wait to see how well they do this year!

Hopefully as good of a trip as I had last year.  I've only grown three of these before and eleven I've never tasted so there is an adventure to be had.

Good luck to you as well.  Isn't this a great obsession?
I sowed some seed today.

Not there!
 
Here:

 
Oasis Horticubes.  I used Rootcubes last year but only found Horticubes available in the small pack this year.  There's not much difference between the two.  I just put water and the heat mat to the seed tonight.  Now the wait begins for the first hook.
 
I had planned the spread out sowing dates with baccatums and annuums following along later.  But, I just did them all now.  It's 2 days earlier than last year.
They worked very well for me last season.

That pic of the garden hurts!

Up here we call that a cover crop.

Here are a few pics from this morning.
 
Lots of hooks and cotyledons


 
It's time to bring down the big light


 
My "old school" record system

 
 
In the coming couple weeks I'll be transplanting these over to Solo cups.  
 
Just like that, the space requirements to house the kids skyrockets!
 
 
 
 
Things are picking up speed;
Nice, sturdy little seedlings.

Thanks, Paul.
 
 
I now have at least one cell germinated from each variety but the Rocotillo , El Oro de Equidor and Yellow Rocoto.
Fascinating how quickly things happen - I have four cells with hooks that were not there when I got home from work 4 hours ago.
