The most dismal results since I started using the heating mat. I don't know what the
is, maybe the cold nights in the garage. 51/162 total germination rate is about 31%.
This is 26 plants if all survive to plant out. Going to try to start some of
the Chocolate Habanero from RF and BOC from Jason - tonight into the soak.
edit 1/15 - another Scorpion hook today
edit 1/17 - one BOC hook today. Some seeds have germinated in the Jiffy Pellets
after transplanting. After a count this morning the results updated in the
chart above. 60/162 = 37% 17 days after sowing. Later same day, another
BOC hook has emerged 61/162...
edit 1/18 - one more MoA today... 62/162
edit 1/19 - one Chili Pepper Institute Caribbean Red Habanero finally
came out...63/162 = 39% - 29 seedlings underway.
edit 1/21 - a few more hooks have emerged in transplanted Jiffy Pellets, many
of which have now germinated 3/3 seeds...Grand total 73/162 = 45%
after 3 weeks since sowing.
edit 1/23 - first hook out of the second round - one BOC 2013 from GaGrowhead.
edit 1/26 - Aside from the second BOC 2013 to emerge yesterday, there were four
new hooks this morning: BOC 2013; F5 PDN x Bonda ; Caribbean Red
Habanero CPI; Scorpion 5th gen. 79/162 = 49%
Swapped a 2x4 T5HO light for a 4 x 4
so i could have a double row of plants:
As of now, have these plants going forward
to plantout.
In four or five months
