Growth so far..

HotPeppersFlyFishing · Mar 24, 2008

Here is my growth so far with 8 plantings still yet to germinate.
The only seedling I am concerned about is my Jolokia (2nd on left in front).That the one that had the seed still attached
to it when it sprouted.So I replanted another Jolo seed to be safe.Overall I am happy with results so far.Thanks to all the Fine and Friendly People on this site,my 1st attempt at growing has been fun and somewhat productive

Do I see some rubber bands on your cups? Looks familiar

Omri · Mar 24, 2008

You got it all wrong, those are Senso-Rings.

Straticus · Mar 24, 2008

Whatever floats your boat hehe

Omri · Mar 24, 2008

I guess you're not familiar with coneheads...

Yep, these are the coneheads.

"...Your cone is too young to know the senso-ring!..."

It's too keep the cups from nesting too tightly. With the rubber band there is a healthy amount of room for excess water to drain from the seed starting cup into the second cup.

HotPeppersFlyFishing · Mar 24, 2008

Actually
The rubber bands are put on the cups because they extrude
the chemical Benzine Dylidium which increases the molecular structure of the plants stem which promotes stronger stem and root development!! :lol:

j/k

sounds good though lol)
its for exactly what Pam said I just forgot to take em off :lol:

The rubber bands can create a seal that keeps the air pressure from allowing the water to drain out in under a day. But they won't properly drain at all if they don't have wicks to pull the water out of it's perched state.
