My understanding is that we started with a new start date of March 14th with the Serlano.

thanks! Looking back, I think I may have started a few days early. I started the seeds when I got them thinking I was late to the game. You guys can DQ me if you'd like, I wasn't sure if Id even be in miami for much longer. I had just interviewed with 2 medical schools down here and I was waiting for acceptances/waitlist/rejections around that time so my mind was in a different place heh. I've got good news though, I've been accepted to medical school down here, so I'll be in miami area for another 4 years lol

The_DoGMaN · Mar 28, 2016

Had a second pop today. Still small and has a helmet so I'll have to see if it makes it.

Disregard this post. Crap.

Day #14...I'm feeling inadequate....

On a positive note, I germinated my first rocoto seed of any kind, a Montufar. Took 23 days. I had already given up.

Yeah still staring...I guess pepper seeds are immune to my physic powers :tear:

Congrats to those who have hooks and plants! Don't forget use old battery water twice daily. They love it!

More excellent advice forthcoming

Brandon, is that the Peruvian Serlano or the Aji Cristal? Last time we spoke I think you had mentioned that you were late on planting the serlano...

I had started some outdoors but wanted to do an indoor one thinking the mealy bug pests i have infesting my plants would kill it instantly. When we spoke I had my outdoor sprouted already but hadn't started an indoor one. In the end, I just kept the outdoor one since it seemed fine. You gotta come over sometime when my other varieties start ripening up! Id say a few weeks

I present to you all.. Peruvian Serlano!

Chris Kewley · Mar 29, 2016

Still Waiting on the Peruvian Serlano to pop. 90% of the Aji Cristal seeds have turned dark, still a couple that might giver a go
