Hot Stuff's 2017 glog

Starting the Chinense and Bacattum today with a good soak overnight. Jello Shot cups work really well as mini green houses for germination. I'll put a damp piece of napkin on the bottom tomorrow and the seeds on top. Then off to someplace warm.
 
So a little update on the progress. Getting some roots and leaves on a number of them. Doesn't seem to matter too much on whether they are Chinense, Bacattum or Annuum. There's a fair mix on the germination rate. I'm planning on putting the rest of them in a plastic container with a light to make things a little warmer than the cabinet above the stove which is where they have been.
 

 

 


This weekend I'll transfer the ones with leaves into seed trays. The nice thing about this is you can continue to harvest seeds as they germinate and save space in the trays. They only get filled with good plants.
 
So, it's been a while, but most everyone has sprouted and grown nicely in the jello cups. It doesn't matter they if they get leggy because I just bury them up to the leaves. I use a toothpick to help pull up the roots from the paper. If they break a little bit no big deal. Most of the stem will turn into roots.

 

 

 
 
So I guess I need to update this some.

Reapers finally putting on. Hope they ripen before the regular frost on Halloween.


 
I think my Bahamian Goats must have crossed with something last year.

Thanks for the updates. The photos are appearing very small to me. Cannot make up the details. How is the harvest?
yeah, you have to click on them to see them bigger. Other than my chinense chilies it's going great. Those chilies are just starting to come in.
