The first thing to sprout is the radicle. The roots grow from the pointy end, the cotyledons grow from the other.

No need to apologize romy.  I'm still waiting patiently for my seeds to pop, and even if they don't, I will enjoy watching the results of others efforts.   Nil illegitimi carborundum.

Plain old Big Jim and three World Record Big Jims. The two smaller WRs will be given to a co-worker next week. Am I winning yet?

Day 91 update Not much to report, so here's a few pics instead. Purple Serrano, podding up nicely: Bhut jolokia mustard - I have a feeling this is going to be a beast: First baccatum pods, Dulce Sol: First chinense pods, Goronong: My popcorn hydro/kratky type experiment plants, Fatalii...

Good thinking - I just emailed them. I will report back when/if I hear from them.

I just noticed there is no magnesium listed in the contents, I'll have to remember to use epsom salts.

I haven't used it but I've read good things about it. I just bought an 18 lb bag of Tomato Tone from the same company which I will be using in my containers.

Day 83 update. Well I finally ran out of room on my grow shelf, the plants became overcrowded and difficult to remove for watering without damaging the leaves. So I set up a second shelf with some shop lights that I had and a few 10 & 15W LED red/blue bulbs that I had. I left the larger...

Here's one study that shows yields are decreased when plants are topped: http://www.actahort.org/members/showpdf?booknrarnr=366_36 I wonder if the results would be different if they allowed more than 4 stems to grow.

I think you might have edema - what do the back of the leaves look like?

My seeds finally arrived (gotta love Canada Post...) so I got them in the dirt right away. Looks like I've got some catching up to do! Thanks to all involved in sending me the seeds, they are much appreciated (this variety was on my want list).

Here's an update on my plants. The original Big Jim followed by the world record Big Jims.

Day 73 update. So the oldest plants are close to 10 weeks old now. Most of them are growing really quickly, I'm seriously worried that I'm going to run out of room since plant out is still another 10 weeks away! My big fan died a few days ago, so the plants are getting edema again. I just...

It looks like your medium is holding on to too much moisture.  If you can, you should re-pot into a better mix.  Your other plant is in coco coir - if you have some left you could try equal parts peat, coco & perlite with a pinch of dolomitic lime.   Wait until your soil is very dry (i.e. until...

Overwatering for sure, the soil looks saturated. What's the nutrient profile of your fertilizer? Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Nice. What type of wick does it use?

I got mine last week. I really like it, nice burn without being insanely hot. Thanks again!

Day 64 update. Not much to report. My grow shelf is becoming pretty overcrowded, I'll probably have to start topping and/or stripping the plants soon as I'm running out of space... I apologize for the crappy picture, they are becoming increasingly difficult to photograph. Four of the six...

It's really difficult to pick just five! Chocolate habanero Bonda ma Jaques Aji Amarillo CGN 21500 Bahamian goat

I'm always amazed by your roots Neil. How old is that yellow bhut?
