Nothing seems to be going right lately. I overdosed a couple of plant trays with nutes because a phone interruption made me forget I had already added the fertilizer to the water and I added a second dose, fed em, then realized what I had done. Then I got interrupted again while bottom watering a tray and really got it super saturated. I lost 2 plants downstairs because I forgot to water them. I trashed a hydraulic line on one of my tractors and got sick from smoke inhalation during a field burn off. This just hasn't been my week.
The plants look like they'll survive though; peppers are tough.
Here's tray one, 4 weeks from seed planted on 1-20-11.
Those 2 tall Aji Panca plants are supposed to be C. Chinense, but are growing fast as C. Annuums.
Tray two, 4 weeks from seed planted on 1-20-11.
The Inorka is growing like a weed too; I thought it was a C. Chinense, but now I'm not certain.
What say you, Siling Labuyo?
These annuums were planted 1-30-11 and after 18 days needed to move today from the 72 cell tray.
After culling, these 32 were what was left. Dang I hate to toss all of those good plants.
I went ahead and moved these other starts that were planted on 1-30-11 as well.
It's a mixed bag of C. Annuum, C. Baccatum, C. Chinense, C. Pubescens and a C. Praetermissium.
Here's the final germination after 18 days on the last 2 trays.

I'll try the failed ones again next year. I have enough to care for this season.
Here's a group shot of them all crowded under the T5 lights.
The weather looks so good this weekend I may let the first 2 trays get a taste of the outdoors.
