contest Growdown Throwdown 2019 Sri Lanka - Chilli Red!

Walchit · Dec 31, 2018

If the international ones don't show up within 10 days or so I can send out another round with foil in them.

I dont expect them till at least two weeks. Mail is faster to Europe then it is to the US here

Who's all letting seeds hit moisture when the clock strikes 12:01?

Here is a little something to hold you over until then (Chili Red featured towards the end):

"As promised, here is the Official 2018 Garden Walk Through and Year In Review. As you may have noticed by now, our format will not always be the same as everyone else's traditional YouTube channel. Sometimes, I'll want to get more artsy than "informative" and when we have ideas for cool videos, we will run with them. Sometimes, there is so much more that can be said by not talking. I hope you all enjoy the break from the norm and stick around for more content to come! We recommend using your favorite headphones for the best viewing experience."

That is a nice setup of lights! Just ordered a 1k led light. I am sure you have way more than 1k running. Plants will love it!

Some of them last year took around 21 days

10 days would be pretty impressive. I wouldn't worry until about... 28 days later...

It's not ideal for something like a time-limited growdown, but hey, them's the breaks.

Im waiting to germinate once I see you get yours, you're the farthest away that I sent out I think.

Walchit · Jan 1, 2019

I got home late last night, and I was like "hey I can start some growdown seeds lol.

On that note, was there a time zone we were using to start the seeds? Started mine at 1am central time lol

Orekoc · Jan 1, 2019

I'm waiting till February 2nd to start mine. Just don't have the space for big plants and can't plant out till Mother's day.

NeedsWork · Jan 1, 2019

Don't forget the starting fluid to help them get going on these cold nights.

Man what a beautiful vid, Rich! Between the music, the cinematography and the subject matter (hey, it was 20 below here this morning!!), you yanked at almost every emotion I generate!

I'm taking a different approach this time, not going to plant so early. When I was doing the Aji Lemon Drop Growdown I had a rough time bringing my specimen up so early in the conditions of Zone 3. I think I'll wait just a bit. I think the Zerex soak slowed initial growth, being as everyone knows why an antifreeze makes such a necessary seed treatment here in the glacial plain.....

That being said, Anuums do freakin' awesome things in the land of the 16 hour summer days.....

Again, that video, what a fantastic job!!

Game time.

Dirt Day! Rather, Root Riot Day!

CaneDog · Jan 1, 2019

It's killin' me to not plant these now, but with an indoor grow in full swing, pretty much this...

Will aim to have mine going into the season ready to produce.

Good luck!

How do the root riot plugs compare to rock wool cubes?

Though I can't help with that comparison, Paul, I can tell you that they have kept my Rocoto cuttings alive for a very....long....time....without generating a single root. The algea is clouding up the shot glasses pretty good though...

I do believe I'll try one with these Sri Lanka seeds, though.....just to see...
