Grow Log - Nothing Complex

Hi,

As a continuation from - http://thehotpepper....881#entry620881

Ive got 500 + chilli seeds in regular seed starting mix outside in 2 mini greenhouses. No lights / no heat pads / I didnt soak the seeds / nothing complex just abit of soil and some water and the sun.

Germination times yes are abit slow 19-20 days but yeah getting some good results now a fair few are popping through.

How I got my seeds - I got a trinidad scorpion butch t chilli - cut it open and pulled the seeds out and planted the seeds directly into the soil no drying out or anything just straight into the soil. The majority of what has some thru is the butchies.

Love the green houses. That's what I'm thinking about getting. I really like the low tech of the growing.

Got a little yellow bhut on my desk at work he's going to be the beloved one cared for. He's my baby.

Good start, Vol. You are going to have a lot of plants if those all pop for you! Good luck!

 

[Volrathy]

Im hoping to do 2500 plants in the long run

 

[Volrathy]

Ok ive just noticed something all my seedlings have started to bend towards the sun aka north so ive just went out and turned all the trays around to make them bend and go straight again

 

[Volrathy]

Ok gone high tech and got a electric propagator from bunnings. Got morougas in it. On the trays under it is habs

 

[Mezo]

Okay, so you are south of the equator. Are you heading into Fall/Winter?

2500 plants. Okay that is very ambitious! Good luck with your polytunnels!

Not going to do 2500 plants this year lol maybe 500-1000 range is the plan say 3-4 yrs down the track

Dude! That's still one heck of a grow. I'm barely managing 35 or 40 plants!

 

[Volrathy]

55 seeds have now sprouted

6 gwarii
8 yellow bhut jolokia
5 habanero
36 trinidad scorpion butch t - one of them now has 3 leaves

 

[PaulG]

You are on the way now! Good luck with your grow!

 

[Volrathy]

90 seedlings so far sprouted - No yellow 7 or morouga which is disappointing

But yeah I have a question 2 of my seedlings are blue.. Why ? Too cold ? Not enough sunlight ?

 

[Volrathy]

^ The chosen one - nicknamed "Neo" going well.


Also upto

47 Habaneros
43 Butch TS
12 Yellow Bhut Jolokia
0 Yellow 7
0 Morouga
0 Red Bhut

Saddened about the lack of Yellow 7 / Morouga / Red Bhut

These are the main 6 chillis im hoping to grow a fair few of. The others are for fun / seeds.


Also the ones which im growing for seeds : - 2 Broome / 7 Gwarii / 2 Sudanese Hot / 2 Yatsafusa / 0 Fatalii / 0 Naga Morich

 

[Volrathy]

These first 3 are all butch Ts

These are habs. Something (my guess a slug) ate some of the leaves on the habs. But they growing back

These are gwariis

These are a mixture. Naga Morich / Broome / Yellow 7 / Fatalii / Sudanese / Yatafsua

These are some yellow bhut jolokias

These are 4 plants I bought from sawtell chilli festival.
