contest Growdown Throwdown 2019 Sri Lanka - Chilli Red!

[Arthropods]

Ive only had that little smudge of green algae there, hasnt gotten worse in two weeks and plant is doing well! Roots seem healthy for sure

 

[Kennylay]

The reason I asked is I was always taught "zero light to the root zone" and from what I'm reading and seeing it doesn't seem to be as much of an issue as people thought years ago.

Weekly check in.  There are already some monsters out there - lookin' good!

Maybe its more a sunlight root issue than an artificial light one. Im a trial and error kinda person, I like to see it for myself in real life

I usually try to keep the ph close to 6.0.

Just checked the ph, I was way off in my guesstimate. It was 5.6 so definitely already acidic

 

[Devv]

Wow! I keep seeing such early branching on these plants.
 
This is going to be fun
 
Any words on these gals needing support?

Growing this guy from seeds from dry pods i got off ebay kinda looks like the chilli red

I'm glad we agree; I was a little hesitant to post this in case people got scared and decided to drop out of the competition. I mean, that's a winner plant if I ever saw one!

What are you growing them in?

 

[pfefferoni]

Don't know why, but I don't seem to have much luck with this variety... From 8 seeds exactly 1 sprouted. The funny thing is, the conditions were suitable to get Bahamian goats, black pearls, Trinidad perfumes and bishop's crowns to sprout, so I'm not sure why these are so stubborn.
 
On the bright side, the one that has sprouted looks healthy enough and this way I don't have to decide which one to keep. If it's tough enough to succeed where his siblings failed, than I guess I have my winner right there.

Mine just went into seed soak....

 

[internationalfish]

Woohoo! My Sri Lanka super-sperm-lookalikes are alive. Three out of four; definitely pleased with that.
 

 
They've been de-filtered and are nestled snugly in new homes.

Diesel fuel and battery acid like everyone else???

Don't just go with the flow. Think Different! I recommend a large bucket of bleach and vinegar, prepared in an enclosed space.

 

[Walchit]

Its bleach and ammonia. Screw the plant, if we kill Guru off someone else will definitely win.
