Growdown Throwdown 2017 Aji Lemon Drop!

[Devv]

 
Although a bit slow, I have a hook!
 
I really like the idea of being able to choose the best from a possible group of plants.

Congrats Devv

Yay! Seeds are here and into wet paper towel/baggie for pre-germ process. Should go into Jiffy Pellets in 4 days or so.

 

[Devv]

Good luck!

LOL, too true! But the wife gave them a pep talk this morning, explaining what a good life they had coming their way. And poof!
 
I was getting worried though

Mine are doing nicely so far.
 
Taken January 12th...

 
Taken today...

 
I think it's about time to chose which one to keep. It's always sad having to let go the "unwanted" seedlings...
 
And an overview of all my chilli plants for the 2017 season. The darker plants on the right are "blue christmas" (THSC). They are already filled with flowers!

Jeez, all the way to post #330 before hookage?

Enjoying all the hook pics over there. Unfortunately, I had no luck with my first set of seeds in paper towel. They just never sprouted. I started another three and placed them in a new bag with less water. I dont know what's happening on my end these days, I usually have no trouble getting seeds sprouted. Maybe I'm just a little impatient. Will probably throw some seeds direct in a starting tray later on. Guess I'll have to wait to finally share something with you all as well.

I may be a slacker, but now have 2 slacker babies
 'Bout friggin time!
 
Congrats to the rest of you that now fit into my category....AKA "slackers"

 

[PaulG]

No such thing as slackers, my friend.  The grow proceeds by fits and starts,
so one man's late is another man's perfect timing!
 
Good luck making those into monsters!

Best to gently squeeze the paper towel in your hand until most of the water stops gushing out, then its ready. Also best to leave open about an inch of the zipper for air exchange. It's just enough to exchange air, but not enough to let moisture out.

Also, just keep that baggie around because it may be good. Just late.

I got my third hook on day 14. Sometimes they take a bit of time to pop...as long as they do pop

 

[Geonerd]

Crack-plant doing well, but still nothing from the other two seeds.  Gonna plant two more.
This leaves 5 for sharing, if anyone is still in need.

 

[Malarky]

I also can share my leftovers from Stettoman... Unless he needs them back...

Thanks, I think the first ones were too wet for too long. I've moved onto a much more reserved moisture level. Never left the bag open, but I'll try that, too. I ended up direct sowing a couple seeds for the hell of it. If everything pops, will probably give a couple away to friends and neighbors.
