I have very many original strain red ghost plants and would like to find homes for a few. You can read about this particular strain below or in this post in my current grow log: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/67370-sawyer-18-back-from-the-void/?p=1536599
The plants are pretty small, but are growing fast in a soilless mix, and have well-developed root systems. This is what they looked like two or three days ago:
The ones in the 3.5" square pots were potted up last Sunday for a local retailer, but the pot size may give you a better idea of their size. The other shot gives an idea of how many. (I have another flat with a few hundred more.)
This is what the flat looks like today:
As I discuss in my glog, the seeds these plants are grown from are quite old. They are at most two or three generations removed from the original introduction to the U.S. of the red ghost by CPI. The seeds have been in cold storage for more than a decade. As you can see, they still produce healthy seedlings. The seeds were harvested from two plants that were the only pepper plants I grew that year and the nearest neighbors are a hundred yards or more away, so the seeds are well-isolated (if not perfectly).
I looked back through my previous years' glogs and found these pictures of the peppers that grow from these seeds.
The plants this post is about are grown from the exact same stock of seeds.
Plants will ship unpotted in a SFRB with the roots secured in a plastic bag with damp soilless mix and stems and leaves swaddled in newsprint. I had begun hardening them off outside, but we've had a return of cold weather, so they are back inside under lights on a heater mat. You'll need to pot them up as soon as you receive them, give them two or three days in warm conditions in moderate light, and then gently acclimate them to your final growing conditions as per your normal procedure.
If you can use such small plants, here's the deal. Pay postage of $7.20 for a SFRB and a $5 handling fee, and I'll pack as many plants as you want (or will fit in a SFRB) for $1 each. Buy ten or more and I'll drop the handling fee.
I guarantee these plants and will replace at least once any that don't thrive (even due to neglect or misadventure), as long as you cover the shipping and a little handling for the replacements. If this interests you, send a pm and I'll provide paypal payment information.
I can ship as soon as our present threat of freezing temperatures is past or at a later time according to your wishes. Offer valid while supplies last and within the U.S. only. Offer void where prohibited by law.
