Very good sweetish fruity habanero taste and decent heat. Very easy to grow and makes plenty of chilis.

Thanks I'm going to try some of those.

Petenero sounds really good. I might have to try them. Just gotta figure out how to make room for them.

Thanks..They sure are sprouting fast in rockwool:

I've never used rockwool, I usually do ok in soil, is there a big benefit using rockwool?

Free of parasytes, hard to make rockwool to form mould and seeds germinate with higher percentage and faster, because uniform moisture/water retention and rockwool is also hard to overwater.

You can place the seeds on top of the rockwool cube and easily observe, if the seeds germinate or not and add more if not.

Every way better than soil, when you are starting seeds. Then you can plant the rockwool cube to whatever growing medium you prefer.

Most of the small plants are now under the led. Few of the seeds didnt germinate right, so had to put few more to germinate..but no worries, i still have plenty of time to grow my plants before i can put them outside.

I was just reading through your old post on the Rocato... very interesting, looking forward to seeing how those grow for you...

One Rocato seed germinated and now growing under the 120w led light. I have put two other Rocato seeds to germinate just to make sure, i have at least 2 of them growing..but just one Rocato plant makes lot of tasty chilis. Rocato tastes like a hot sweet paprika, so it should make a tasty smoked powder. :drooling:

And in the coco they go. Lets see how big they will get, before i can put them outside:

Chilidude · Jan 17, 2015

Almost all in coco now. Have to give few away, there are just too many plants to grow for the summer.

Chilidude · Jan 22, 2015

All in place now and really taking their sweet time to grow roots and after that, they will really start to grow.

Blister · Jan 22, 2015

Seriously thinking of trying germination in rockwool. I've been using wet paper towel and have had varying success. I've also used the peat pellets with some degree of success. Will have to see if they have them in stock at my local hydro store.

Slow going right now, but C.chinense have never been the fastest to grow at the beginning. :rolleyes:

Chilidude · Feb 4, 2015

This is my progress thus far:

One of the Bonda ma jacques plant has a very strange colored leaves.

Hey, those look great! Takin' off for sure, now!
