contest Growdown Throwdown 2019 Sri Lanka - Chilli Red!

[Pepper-Guru]

Yeah I'm starting to run out of stamps now actually 
That being said, everyone I sent seeds to better post pics. Lol

 

If they don't, I'm calling them out! I have the list remember? ha
 

I'm not nice!

 
 

Its gonna get around that your "nice" too if your not careful lol.

 
I tried telling them! 
 

Intrigued to see the difference in chilis, whered the other come from?

 
Me

 
One of the pods from another part of Sri Lanka from Guru's trip that he threw in my SASE. 
(I've heard the scenery travelling between Kandy and Ella is something else!)
 

 
 
So....the pheno type we are all growing for the contest is the one I've been selectively breeding since I've come back from my Sri Lanka trip. The OG pod she got was literally, one of the ORIGINAL dried pods I brought back from Sri Lanka. The seeds we are using for the competition, however, I've selectively bred and isolated for its major bump in overall pod production, slightly shorter pod length, and slightly different flavor. I posted the historical story of these chilis many post back, and did some digging to find out the scoop on these. Check it out. 
 
Basically a few people got the OG pod as well if their SASE was executed awesomely and was big enough, they also got a Christmas card and other extras.

Okay, so I have been looking and I may have missed it but what's the heat and flavor like on this chili red?

Seedlings are put in the ground  today.         Day=0
 

 
what better than playing with plants when it is -4°F outside, with a blizzard and 12 inches of snow that falls on us today.

I hear ya there, we got dumped on pretty good yesterday just south of the border on lake Ontario. So I've got most of mine on paper towels and a heat pad on low to keep the temps a little warmer. Why not spend these cold days doing something fun

No need, we will just blacklist them

Seems fair. They did use you for your seeds.

IT HAS BEGUN!

 
Many thanks to Guru and THP! They're in a coffee filter now, so it's time to hurry up and wait!
 
[edit: The seeds are in a coffee filter. I have no idea whether Guru and/or THP are in a coffee filter, let alone the same one. But I'm not judging...]

 

[Walchit]

I have true leaves too, so I guess you can start your seeds guru! Lol

 

[Monsterhook87]

Started off trying to germinate with a moist paper towel as I've had tons of success with it the last few years, and...I accidentally let it dry out. I think they're ok still, but just threw them in a tray with some dirt. Hoping for some helmet heads soon.

 

[Walchit]

I put my paper towel in something sealed, then they can't dry out.

22 out of 23 germinated for me

 

[EMN1-SS]

Aphids already. Well shit.

Operation time sensitive seed abort nano technology is a go for everyone who got seeds from me. Ive spent the last 20 years creating this technology. Enjoy your bell peppers ... for now, muahahahaha

I share this on Facebook and look how many Facebook accounts are viewing, 26, yet only a couple engagements on Facebook. I call that the art of LURKING

I started all 9 at the same time. Soaked 24 hours. Then they went onto a paper towel in a plastic cup. 3 have tails this morning (2.5 days after soak). They went into small cups. When they hook, I'll move them into solo cups and post some pictures.
