I wanted to get these photos of some peppers Ive got growing inside posted and figured I'd include them in my 2021 grow log since they are gonna be around for awhile. These are three of the Scarlett's Chilli X Poblano. I liked the taste of the F1's and I interested to see what becomes of the F2's. I got the F1 seeds from PollenNut and posted those photo's in his original topic here:http://thehotpepper.com/topic/73286-f1bc1-free-seed-being-offered/page-8#entry1705015
I started the three of these at the end of October. Wish I could have started more since these are the F2's but I'm limited on space inside. (Reserving space for the seed starts of my main grow)
Here are a couple of shots of two of them in the Grodan cubes. Two of them germinated in about 2 weeks. There is a seed in the middle that hasn't popped yet but after ~4weeks it did sprout.
I took this pic about 9pm showing how the leaves curl up after being under the lights for 16 hours. I noticed this last year with my seed starts. First thing in the morning the leaves are in the normal position and stay that way all day. I figure that they are done with the light for the day and "raise" their leaves to limit exposure?
The next pics are after I up potted them. The late arrival went into a solo cup and the first ones got larger digs for now.
The late arrival
And the first sprouts. I included both pics even though they look about the same.
And todays pics. The late arrival is showing one leaf that looks "different". It looks like it is variegated. Or maybe something wrong. Hard to tell for sure right now but maybe in another week or two it will be more evident.
The first sprouts. Growing nicely.
That's it for now. I'm still deciding on what to grow this coming season. I have a list going that is ever changing. Some of my picks are definates and others get added and taken away. There's still time to decide though. I've been pretty busy trying to update my other hobby which is beekeeping. This year I am going to start using smaller hive boxes so Ive been busy building new ones! It's supposed to be cheaper than buying them pre made but WOW! Lumber prices have almost quadrupled this year. The price we pay for hobbies!
Take care
