Gianluca84 2009

[Gianluca84]

75 varieties including chinense, pubescens and frutescens.

I have sown in containers of eggs, 4 seeds per hole from which it will take the best 2 plants.

The soil I used is specific to the seed, to which I added 30% perlite and 10% of vemiculite above the soil to reduce evaporation of water I gave a sprinkling of vermiculite.
Watered with water at pH 6 and put it all germ-light box, the temperature should be around 30 degrees.

Now we move on to the photos.

The light-box with germ containers of eggs, each hole is songolo numbered.

The soil used

containers filled with earth and ready for seeding

After sowing, as I already said 4 seeds in each hole so that the seed does not germinate and riprocedere its seeding

So it's like you have after the sprinkling of vermiculite

And finally, with the light on

Welcome Gianluca84!

That's a great do-it-yourself set up! Do you use any heat source besides the light?

 

[Gianluca84]

no issue where the processor becomes hot and heats the box to 29°

Oh, that's great. Do you close the box to get those temperatures?

I'm going to have to give this some thought if I have any overflow from my seed starting rack this year. I think I would use some of those cheap "stick up" fluorescent lights instead, but that would certainly be doable. I could start some of my shade plants that way, and leave more room on the seed starting rack for peppers and tomatoes.

Thanks for the idea!
