What vendors do you feel most confident with when buying from or with seeds that have germinated?

Yes, I topped it. My goal of course is to create a couple top shoots as I did, then allow controlled growth per shoot, topping as needed for directional growth areas. With limited outdoor areas and no open garden for moment, I manipulate the growth. Topping allows that. Production may not...

I realize that topping with promote more shoots. I also have seen that the promoted shoots from the nodes are singular from experience. What is intriguing is that some nodes are pushing double shoots a singular node spots. For me, this is a first to see double shoots per node. The left arrow...

I started some Peach Fantasy plants early November. I have been controlling the feeding, lighting, and soil actions so that they stay very healthy, and grow at a rate allowing them ready for outdoors come spring. Whats funny is that no other pepper plant Ive grown has two shoots at same...

This field of peppers would be my dream. This looks like fun and who can argue with this success.

I hope this thread helps many whom look at where to get seeds. We have our choices based on personal experiences, and I believe it would be great if we list our top 3-5 seed vendors we use. After the list, please feel free to list why. After the next 30 days, Ill tally the list, and put them...

After three months I started to see die back on three of five plants. Two of five are maintaining leaf structure. Of the three that have die back, I decided to transplant them into my supersoil I created a while ago. Although its not at optimum for another two months, whereupon the nutrients...

When ready I will again use him. You definitely received a lot of seeds. Good planting ahead.

Well today there are no new photos to share. The plants are just taking it easy. Meanwhile Ive started germinating five new pepper plants, and recently started a batch of super soil that will be charging for next 3.5 months. Once they are ready, that soil is going to ROCK. Very excited. Its...

Well, I started Oct. 1 tranfering indoors. New soil, and plans for dormacy. Watering was: Oct. 1, 13, 29 Nov. 7, 25 I did a better calculation of watering and found it is 54oz in my watering jug. Each plant getting that. Although the Jolokia is like a bear Hibernating, the rest are like...

Just water today. Realized through evaluation that with all factors being the same, and watering about every two weeks, I have one of five plants that has not been healthy and reactive like the other four. My believe is that the one not as good is the one that was my experiment with souls and...

Just watch your soil and amendments. In a pan of water you may destroy roots is my opinion, therefore stunting growth and production.

I think the more research you do the better you become. No recipe works great for everyone. I modify each year myself with new soil mixtures and nutrients to determine whether my pepper plants will grow better, documenting what I use along the way for reference later on. You really can see...

I lift the plants every few days so that I may learn about evaporation loss of water content. Based on my placement of the plants, warmth and lighting, I was in need of replenishment so today, after 12 days, I refilled with about 50 oz each. I usually use my watering can that fills about 45 oz...

I am going for dormant. They are sticks, just cut off branches yesterday. The window allows some light, and best location, As for watering, I agree. I will water only as plant feels light. I say now Im two to three weeks as hypothetical, since warmth of room may dictate quicker evaporation...

My apology for forgetting. I am going to add the details of what was used as a mix. Soil: 85% mix of... Roots Organic 707 and Full Circle Soar 15% mix of... Alaska Humas Nutes: small amounts... Down to Earth All Purpose 4-6-2 Neem Seed Meal 6-1-2 Fish Bome Meal 3-16-0 Water down...

Today I took five plants from summer growing. I have not overwintered before; so I decided to get all materials together, and look over the root system of each as I hosed the plants down. What a relief when I saw each plant with an incredibly healthy root structure throughout my five gallon...

I agree that 10 seeds is very generous. If germinating process is done right, then you can get at least three plants to grow. From there, many pods and seeds to grow and share. Full cycle of sharing is caring.

So how did the plants do after overwintering?

Ive bouggt my share of seeds, and Ive seen mostly just fulfilled orders, one with seeds that dont germinate, and then Duffys, which seem best for going beyond minimal. He seems to want people to try new varieties. I love the opportunities here where people trade and offer seeds to others too...
