Yeah I know, real original title. ![Think :think: :think:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/think.gif)
So here's what i'm growing this year. It's a short list because I lack the space...also I couldn't justify spending $14 to cover the minimum purchase requirement for just one strain from nmsu. I started germing 4 of each of these a little over a week ago (friday 2/10)
bhut jolokia
black pearl
caribbean red hab
chili de arbol
chocolate hab
tabasco
thai hot
Since a couple of them popped yesterday and some today. I decided it was time to plant them and start logging the progress. I didn't start a grow log until today because I didn't want to count my chickens before they hatched. So far the popped list is as follows: all of the black pearls, all the caribbean reds, 2 tabascos, 3 thai, and 2 arbols. The jolokias and chocolate habs are being the stubborn ones.
I'm growing them (begrudgingly) in MG cactus, palm & citrus mix. I say begrudgingly because I wanted to use pro-mix but the 3 menards that, according to their website, said they had it in store...didn't have it in store. And as usual the employees were useless. They just kind of looked blankly at me when I asked them if they had any. After that I just got frustrated and picked up the MG and I figured a mix designed for cacti should have good drainage. It might be that it's just too early in the season for most other gardening. They still had a lot of stockpiled road salt in the garden section. So the plan is to just use the MG until I can find some pro-mix then switch over to that when I can.
That's all I got for the moment.
