contest Ají Charapita Growdown Throwdown 2024

[bpiela]

Haven't received seeds as of yet.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Still nothing in the mail today sadly, maybe they did look in the letter and think they're rich now

Do you know if yours are stuck in customs too?

Do you know if yours are stuck in customs too?

you did not send me a tracking number, so i have no idea, but still nothing sadly

 

[bpiela]

Seeds have landed!!

 

[MarcV]

I have given up waiting... if customs haven't released the package by now, it will likely never be released...

 

[Tinkerbelle]

you can join me in the "could've been a contender corner"

 

[ColdSmoke]

I'm sitting this one out folks....just no free time. I'm always around to advise though.

Don't forget to flush your ballasts.

To those who have already planted their seeds: any action on your side of the fence? Most of my C. chinense have already emerged but nothing yet from the Aji Charapita...

How many days wet? And did you sow them all like I asked?

I collected 64 seeds from the berries sent (I threw out a few that looked damaged or non-viable). I soaked 54 of them in a weak H2O2 solution for 24 hours (as I always do) on February 23 and planted them the next day. They are kept under a dome placed on a heating pad set at 29°C with all my other seeds since...

I planted mine on Feb 27th, and all is quiet on the Western front..

Give them time. Don’t give up on them. They will be slow I imagine. As I stated initially, I need to refresh this inventory. Some storage mistakes were made. I haven’t started anything yet, but this is good data either way. I wouldn’t worry until a month has passed with no hooks. Then we can say we have a major issue. Most challenging growdown yet! See why I said to mass sow them all?

!! Don't worry I'm not about to give up as I do know that some C. chinense may be lazy AF when it's time to show up and this is why my stress level gauge isn't at the maximum... yet!

I have some leftover Baker Creek seeds. I may plant some just for comparison. (Don't worry, I won't mix them up )

 

[Deadpouk]

still no sign of the seeds on my end, I'm leaving soon for 2 weeks so when I come back maybe they'll have found my mailbox.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

I think we need to sort out a European growdown throwdown

 

[MarcV]

Still nothing here either... status in the BPost app hasn't changed for weeks now...

 

[wiicek]

Some postmen will have fun harvesting them all.

I’ll know anyway. They aren’t the same. These are straight from Iquitos via yours truly,

When did you harvest these pods?
