I ordered two of these because after I couldn't find them in the stores, I figured I might as well have a backup.
It was pretty obvious how these were put together, but it turned out to be really easy to take them apart.
As soon as I figured that out, I knew what I was going to do with them. So, stupid or not, one I'm using as-is, and the other I packed with mix of coir and perlite similar to what I usually start seedlings in.
These came with orange habanero seeds. I have no problem with orange habs -- they were the first pepper I ever grew, so they're actually a bit nostalgic -- but I wanted something different. So both of them have datil seeds from Refining Fire, which I have a ton of sitting around from a sale they ran.
When they pop, I think I'm going to use the fertilizer they provided for the one I left as-is (it's 6.5-6-19) and give the coir bottle the same Number of the Beast + cal-mag treatment the rest of my plants get.
And this is the current tent. Just today I potted up the CGN 21500 on the top left to take to the office; the rest of the plants on the bottom are waiting for the next shipment of grow bags. The datil bottles will sit in the bottom until they germinate, then I'll probably take them to work and stick them in the windows as well. We get a whole lot of sunshine.
On the top left next to the up-potted 21500 is the fish pepper; waiting for it to break the surface. In front of that is the designated germination towel, and on the right are a couple of cuttings I started from my Italian basil. Since everything I put outside died, I'm going to need more basil anyway (Thai basil and shiso as well, but at least the Italian stuff is covered).
That one looks great, but I think it's probably more like the goal than a starting point.
