Nice start Stefan. I see you are gearing towards the jalapenos again! I am interested to see how the coyote zan white turns out. The one I saw was white as a t shirt and not the typical cream color of most whites. Best of luck this year!

Sanarda · Mar 2, 2013

Great start. Thats great germination rates. :dance:

Spicegeist · Mar 2, 2013

Incredible.

Hi Stefan
I was wondering if you'd get in on this glog action... Glad to see you represented in fine style with good germination rates. I'll definitely be checking in here periodically. Good luck on your grow this year!

915river · Mar 2, 2013

Happy growing very nice they start to pop up for you.

roper2008 · Mar 2, 2013

That is good germination for one week. Mine were more stubborn. Look forward to seeing your peppers
progress this season.

Nice to see the jalapeno king back at it again. I smell some tasty poppers my brother

Yes, John. I wanna try as many possible (it's not even the entire collection I have, got more). Some are without heat (for the wife and daughter), the rest are the more bigger ones. Just as you I'm really excited about the Coyote Zan White, although sprouting after 3 days have me doubting if it's really true or Chinense at all. Time will tell as soon real leafs show. I love those pure white peppers!

Thanks, Pia. Can't complain indeed, hopefully the Scotch Bonnet's will follow soon

Thank you, Rick! Although time is precious I wanna share my growing, trying all those Jalapeno's and Scotch Bonnet's. Looking forward to the summer already

Thanks, Vladan! Hope they keep popping like that

although I expect a couple won't due being old seedstock.

It's the first time it's this good over here also, Linda. Last year I had this percentage after almost 4 weeks. Thanks again for the Jalapeño Craig’s Grande

Jamie, buddy! We're would we be without Jalapeno's huh

I'm afraid we'll be eating all day poppers during the summer :lol:

Thanks! I love a themed grow, hence the Jals and Scotch Bonnies

Looking good Stefan I will be checking on your progress regularly especially the rocotos. Looks like your growing a Toothpick pepper too this year

patrick · Mar 3, 2013

I had no idea there were that many different strains of Jalapeno's! Good luck Stefan.

Today a CGN 22796 decided to sprout, seeds were over 8 years old. I got a bad feeling about the Rocoto de Seda, gonna sow the remaining seeds tomorrow. The toothpick is for the digging in the dirt, impatient as I am, I dig the seeds up to see if something is happening :lol:

Today a lot of the Scotch B's are popping. Only 7 varieties in total haven't, which I will try again.

I had no idea either, Patrick. Until last year when I started to look for more varieties I found a lot, wanna see if there are really differences between the strains. Got about 49 "different" strains now.

Pretty exciting............nice clear photos ! I can't wait to see all the variety outdoors !
Stefan, enjoy the grow !

kiddc · Mar 4, 2013

incredibly long list! Good luck on your season

Datil · Mar 5, 2013

Amazing Stefan!
I'm curious to see so many Jalapenos and Bonnets growing side-by-side!

Good luck

It was originally 160 cell inserts, but I had to cut some off otherwise I couldn't close the propagator. Now it's 135 cell inserts. It's to bad I only ordered 2 of those trays last year, they are really great and the seedlings root very well in them (downwards).

I'm too lazy for a complete glog

but i'll post some pics in my THP blog (Datil's Balcony).
Goat's seeds will probably hit the ground this weekend!

Thanks again and happy season!
