"which ones can you recommend for growing at home now? "
All of them.

 

[serrano]

ok then which ones are easier to grow ?

 

[Omri]

It's THP, we're still gonna recommend you grow 'em all.

Practice on the varieties you have most seeds for, that way you can try again if you manage to fail

You might also check some of the data bases and try some of the ones that will be short plants so they won't outgrow your set up.

well im sowing bout 20 test seeds today. im going with reglar potting soil and sunlight (south window).

 

[serrano]

and here they are - first sprouts of my test plants! im using soil, sun and heat mat. soon i will sow more so i can transplant them outside 15th may.

How tall can the plants get before they outgrow your grow area?

I know for a fact the hungarian wax is a fast grower from my last years experience with them.

50cm maybe more. thats not a big problem. im more worried if they have flowers or pods before i can transplant them outside. is it to late to transplant to dirt if they already develope flowers or pods? (thats still a long way to go but i just want to know)

 

[AlabamaJack]

50 cm = ~20" so you should be ok...

you can transplant them any time you want and not worry about damaging the plant. It may get a little transplant shock but it will be ok.

they are doing good so far it is only two weeks since i plated seeds

well im planing to start my remaining seeds on friday 13th. im going to soak them in a water with garlic first. i've heard that this helps to kill some viruses that might been on the seeds surface. to you think this is a good idea or is it better to use clean water?
