Interesting, thanks for the information. She's giving them to her aunt, maybe I can keep the 3-leaf plant.

So my mom's chilis (grown from my seeds) had a bunch of seed caps, but they fell off on their own) and I see today one of her plants has 3 cotyledon leaves!! This is a non-hybrid Thai chili plant. Will plants grown from the seeds of this plant have a higher chance of following in its mother's...

Thanks for the replies! :D I forgot how supportive this site is since I left for the winter.

Yeah you're perfect right now. Just leave them be, water when needed, and feed when needed. And no, if the seeds take 1-2 weeks to germinate, then go ahead start a new batch. But if it's one of those finicky 20 day germination ones, I'd be careful if it gets cold earlier for you. (September)

Wow. That care and determination, I feel like the odd man out. I just germinate the seeds, put them in some soil leave it by the brightest window if it's too cold, or if it's warm, just let them sprout outside. And bam, leaves come out everything's all fine.

Ahh I remember about a year ago when I began my first grow, it was 5 Thai chili plants, which are doing quite dandy indoors and with no fertilizer. This year, I'm starting 2 Super Chili plants and one just sprouted a root, the seeds courtesy of @Phil (I believe). Hope this year goes well!

I picked it and put it in a ziplock how would I dry it out?

As someone of the south Asian ethnic group this should go well. Probably is, their parent pods were brought from Bangladesh so I don't know if it is a rural cultivar or the common green Thai chili.

Thing is that I'm in canada and we are having some unnaturally warm days but it still isn't good for growing cuz even in the winter there is very little light for me.

My first chili is red should I take it off? Edit: I am asking because I heard if you don't pick off red chillies they can cause the plant to die because the plant is thinking "I have fulfilled my purpose in life, I have fully mature offspring ready to go. Goodbye world!" Edit 2: I just chopped...

Thanks for the answer! This is my first (successful) grow (of food items).

I recently pollinated 2 mature flowers with a cotton swab and today I saw that the flowers fell from both buds but the stigma remains? Is this a sign of pollination?

If I start out seedling in a grow box with a fan that cools and simulates a breeze and I have the lights off during the night. When the last frost is over, how should I harden them? My last frost isn't until late April to early May.

Take an antacid, eat your seeds, eat lots of bran and drink water, poop. Now you have seeds with softened shells and lots of ferts! Perfect for germination! :onfire:  :P  :fireball:

Don't know about spoiders though......

Oh good, I was hoping it was a spider! No need to worry about aphids! Anything I can do to make sure the spider stays and doesn't pack their bags up and go?

Hi, I noticed this little critter this morning seemingly floating up to the tape on the side (used for netting when seedlings were smaller) and a tiny but of web on a leaf, is this critter a bug that will be my protector from the bad bugs or one I should relocate to a different place? Photo...

I've got 9 years gardening ahead of me now as I will try a cross next year. Thanks for the information that has now trapped in a pepper eat pepper world where one piece of pollen can ruin my experiment! I am now indebted to you, and I shall not fail!
