Carolina Reaper (HP22B) Community Grow

A few members including myself are growing seeds for this variety ASAP. I and a few others here on THP thought it would be fun to have a "community glog" strictly for this variety, a fun thread about the HP22B and growing this pepper for the first time.

I think we should start a community glog like this anytime there is a new pepper with alot of attention and alot of people growing it, possible world record holder or not. It would be fun, and this should be fun! That's why we all love this hobby is it not?

Therefore, this will be a drama-free, controversy-free, fun glog for all of us growers and others to enjoy. If you grow, please chime in. If you're growing this variety, please post pictures and chime in about your observations.

Again.. This thread is ment to be fun and informative, but mostly fun :)
Please. Pretty please with sugar on top.. lol. Keep it drama-free.
I, and many others would really appreciate this thread to stay that way.

Now lets get to growing!

I went with the paper towel method for this guy just like I have with all my mid-season starts. It is far from my favorite way to germinate seeds but I'm in no hurry this time of year which is why I went this route. I've had the seeds in the paper towel for about a week now on top of my HOT5 lighting closet. The seeds should be showing root tips soon, then they will be visiting some real soil :D

How's it going for everyone else?

KEEP HIM MOIST!! Toss a little extra humidity dome over just that one pod and make sure it stays moist. If it dries out they are harder to get off but if it stays wet then it should still slide off.

Yep, you have to keep the hull moist. A small opaque solo cup or zippy sandwich bag works well for jiffy, root or rock plugs.

I'm hoping to get my hooks for my latest seedling batch soon. And if I may ask, SeanW, how long ago were those seeds planted in the RapidRooters?

They went in January 13, and saw my first seedling from the Reapers (set of 5, hoping to get 1 strong one, will either cull or give away the rest) on January 24. Second seedling was up January 27. I had a little difficulty with low temperature at first, which probably slowed them down a bit.
 
Man...rereading this thread. Kinda want to add Primos to my grow, now. I probably shouldn't buy anything else, though. Ah well.

Gonna have to find some sap to eat a full pod once I get them :)
