You can't mention a growlist and then not write it out on here. Where is that THP rulebook?

My growlist is more like a wishlist at the moment. I'm waiting to see what germinates and grows.

I love peppers

She'll prefer the gnarly types though.

or maybe ribbed

If you’re reading this… HELP!!! What would you do here? This is my 2nd round of seed starts and it’s going down hill quick. Fungus won’t go away even after using copper fungicide. Chiltepin and others in there trying to beat the odds. Should I trash the whole tray?

Never experienced mold on Jiffy right from the start, only with pellets containing seeds that did not want to sprout after a few weeks... Maybe scrape it out as mush as you can and add some kind of air flow (fan?)

I've always had good luck with Jiffy not sure why this year has been problematic. I'll try scrapin it and adding air flow thanks

+1 @Bou - both good suggestions.

 

[Sulsa]

No worries, just a little saprophytic molds. These belong in healthy soil and are beneficial to your plants. The reason you can see them is due to high humidity in your grow environment, normally they just do their job below the surface.
Putting up a fan like @Bou suggested and letting the top part of the soil dry out will solve this!

Chiltepin from Terroir Seeds doing good so far. I’m really enjoying watching this one grow out. It has an unusual growth pattern compared to my other peppers. Leaves are smaller but it’s already on the 4th set of leaves while most others only have 2. Also shows growth in-between the nodes already.

Nice-looking specimen, GS! Should be a
great plant when it gets rolling!

 

[CaneDog]

+1. Your tepin looks great, GS. Are you going to keep that extra sprout or will it get binned?

Good eye! I have 2 others going so that little guy will get yanked.

Went to check out a new garden center that just opened and couldn’t resist. One is a Red Hab and the other is labeled “Thai Scorpion” which looks like a Chinense but who knows what it will turn out to be.

After finding out most of my seed stock had gone bad, I decided to have some fun with what's left. I took the remainder of my Aji Dulce (Peru) seeds and let them soak in rainwater for 48 hours. The plan was to let the seeds soak and then plant in a pot as a last attempt. Today when I looked at the seeds closely, I noticed one had already sprouted! I decided to just change out the water and let them keep soaking. I'll change the water every couple of days for now. I put the one seed that germinated in a peat pellet, let's hope for the best.

Nice!
