    I've got Douglahs sprouting now Outside - 12 > 23 C temps & kept in moist standard seedraising mix in a plastic tray. I'm thinking the age of the seed (how long its been out of the pod) has a lot to do with germination. My hunan fingertips told me the seeds i got were maybe a week old

    Nothing much around here Nova, but good thought. It took Bunnings 4 months to re-open so that gives you an idea of what happened. Today theres a couple of green shoots popping up - I'm not sure if they're chillis yet (have been fooled before by grass/weed seeds getting in, but thats what you...

    What significance does your Username have?

    The alpha-nerd part was given to me after spending a lot of time in yahoo chat help rooms - given that i was mostly thirsty while there bentalphanerd came to be. Now i'm googleable & even scored alphanerdz.com who knows where its going. I'm still thirsty :beer:

    Well I think I got the seeds in at the right time. Last 3 days have been drizzling with rain & when the sun breaks through its nice & warm. If seeds can't sprout in this I think I'll give the game away :D On another note: the hay bale raised beds are off the drawing board. Cheapest I could find...

    looking good pablo. Don't let them dry out too much at this stage - they'll be doing a lot of root growing & should be kept damp for that (also why they appear to stop growing in stages)I only start to let them dry out once they start putting out little flower nodes. You've got some worthy...

    I mix up the foliar feed with neem - feed the plants & kill the bugs in one go. About every 3 - 4 weeks keeps them happy
