Most of this list I got through the genorosity of people on this forum, thanks alot! Since I only have one heated propagator I needed to split up my list, so I went for all the Habanero varities first (as you can see on the picture below). Also a few other Chinense on there.

I sow 2 seeds per varity, so I can keep the best looking plant and give the other one away. Offcourse I'm not throwing them away, I will spread the heat among my friends so they can learn the magical world of pepper growing too ;)


I used coco-plugs as medium this time and putted them in a 60 holes tray. Looks like a tray of cup-cakes ready for the oven.

After I soaked them and let the propagator get to the right tempature (± 26°C) I sow all the seeds with this as end result.

All I have to do now is getting the grow area ready so when they sprouted they can be put under the CFL lights. I don't expect them to sprout for atleast a week so I still have some time. As soon there is free space I will sow the rest of my list with the Annuum to be the last ones, probally around january.

Amazing list of peppers for this season. I see you like your Habs. Best of luck this season, and ill be watching this one.
 
Real nice setup and grow list!! I'll keep you in mind for possible seed trades in the future.

I have never used the "coco-plugs" before, looks really interesting!! I think I might swap over from the Rapid Rooter Grow Plugs I used last year.

Thanks! It's the first time I use the coco-plugs also, before I used the "Deno Method" wich gave me good results but was a bit more tricky after they sprouted.

Thanks everyone else for the kind words!
 
Very nice organization and set up. I love the cupcake-like size of the cells. Is this 60 count made of metal?
Also, your list is impressive. Best of luck in your growing this season.
 
Ha. It's cold. Just trying to finalize the 40 plants for this years garden. I have a small yard. :(

On the bright side I can always compensate my grow at the Bowers Chili Fest!

Thanks! The tray is made out of plastic, so low weight and cheap. Offcourse you can also fill it with soil if you don't wanna use plugs.
 
Hey meatfreak,
I like your systematic approach. Very detailed, your ideas will help make things run smooth for you through the final harvest.....take my word on that!
Nice list of Habanero's, you also have chili's good for making powder, Golden Cayenne, Aji Pineapple.
Good luck with the rest of your grow, your off to a good start.

Greg
 
Looking good meat :) You sure you have enough habanero peppers in your list? :-P setup looks good too hope you will have plenty of peppers next season
 
A week has passed, so time for an update :) At this moment 19 seeds are germinated, some of them already after 4 days. Since this was the first time I used these coco-plugs I have some comments about them.

Pros:
Easy in use.
Just plug it into the soil.

Cons:
You have to mist the top of it every day because it dries out pretty quickly.
I also have my doubts about the germination rates, those were alot higher with the previous method I used.

For now I leave it as it is, but if the rest doesnt germinate in atleast 2 weeks I will use my previous method again for the rest of my list.

The ones that germinated:
Habanero Bazooka 2/0
Habanero Big Jamaican 2/2
Habanero Big Sun 2/0
Habanero Black Congo 2/0
Habanero Cappuccino Nugget 2/2

Last weekend the soil I orded came in, total 260 litres of coco soil. Should be enough (I hope :)) Already had 70 litres of perlite ready for mixing with the soil.

Hey Greg, thanks for the kind words. As time passes on I figured out I should have wait till I got everything ready since I don't have enough room at this moment for the seedlings, so there goes my systematic approach :banghead: So first I'm gonna take care of that before I sow the rest of my list ;)

Thanks Lando, I think I'm covered for next season ;) Hopefully the weather will be better next year, since this year it was really awfull.
 
Hey meatfreak,

Misting helps....but the moisture will evaporate fast, especially under lights.
You could fill each hole about the 1/3 of the way up with water. The "jiffy's" will wick up the water.
That helps for both the rooted and the "unborn" seeds....
