Well after looking through lots of glog's, I decided to try doing one myself. Hopefully I can keep it updated regularly and improve with photo quality along the way.
That being said------I"M LATE! Yep, this first post is 10 days late. Meaning I started some seeds 10 days ago. I guess my excuse is that we've been trying to get ready for the holidays here.
Anyway, I was lucky enough to get on the 2019 seed train and when B train showed up here, I was able to get some seeds that I probably wouldn't have thought of getting on my own.
It's a little early to start my main grow but I wanted to get something going so I chose to start some wild seeds that I got off the train. Some of these came from Canedog. (The Cap. 524 and 1445 and Cumari Pollux I bought)
So on December 13th I started 8 varieties of seed. 8 in rock wool and 8 of the same varieties in seed starting mix.
Here is a pic of them in their General Tso's starting tray. They are sitting on a heat mat.
The first pepper was coming up on the 22nd so 9 days for my first one! It was the CGN Cardenasii.
The cotyledon's are so tiny!
I tried to upload a Page's drawing I made showing square's with the names of the peppers and their location but I can't upload it. I get a "don't have permission" error when I try so for now I'll just do this manually.
Chacoense Chacoense C. Praetermissum CGN
Puta Pario CAP 524 Cardenasii
(sprout 12/22) (Seed Starting Mix)
Cumari Rocopica Chacoense ?
Pollux Cardenasii CAP 1445 Unknown

UNK Rocoto
These are the seeds in the starting mix. The rock wool cubes have the same seeds in the same order.
I'll try to get a photo and post later since I can't upload the file.
(CD, hope I got the names right!)
I'll update as things progress.
Edited to add that the unknown listing is because the writing on the envelope got smeared and I couldn't make out the name. I'm pretty sure it was a wild variety so I went ahead and planted them. Hopefully they germinate and can be identified later.

. A big benefit of the rock wool is the ability to maintain optimal conditions and lower pathogen exposure over extended germination periods, so you've got that going for you.
