2 weeks is pretty normal for older seeds. Don't throw anything out until the 6 week mark (my record is 46 days now, against all odds it was a very healthy plant).

Damn, patience is not a skill I possess

It has been 2 weeks since my last update;
forgotten to water the plants once since my last update, which meant the end of the Kraken and probably the Vezena Piperka.
Wes Lane's Bad Brains sprouted :dance:

One of these day they'll move to their new homes.

Probably somewhere in may, when there's no more chance on frost.

Datil, has damaged leaves. Could it be those little flies? Haven't had this before. Did put the plant elsewhere behind a window.

Sawyer · Feb 14, 2015

I don't recognize half those varieties, but they're looking good. I don't know about that Datil damage. Maybe a little bit of bug chew? As long as it doesn't spread, I wouldn't be too worried.

wahlee76 · Feb 15, 2015

Not cool, my Pimenta Lisa lost both leaves.

Still upright with one tiny leave. Hope it will survive :pray:

That's a sunshaped mirror

Hope the Pimenta Lisa makes it, they're just beautiful pepper plants...

stickman · Feb 16, 2015

All looking good except for the stressed Pimenta Lisa. Hope it pulls through for you Wally. :pray:

Good luck with 2015!

It's been a month since my last update. Not only has it been busy at work, but my plant were struggling as well. It seemed like they were dying. A couple of weeks ago I found out why. The plant were in soil without nutrient, so practically just dirt. So I changed it and here's the result. Wish I did this sooner.H

Even the Pimenta Lisa is coming to life :dance:

Now they're coming back to life, I hope to update my blog more often again

Nice save Wally! I just picked up a copy of The Whole Chile Pepper Book by Dave DeWitt and Nancy Gerlach. In the section about growing chiles they recommend using a general-purpose, water soluble 15-30-15 fertilizer at the rate of 1/4 teaspoon (about a two finger pinch) of fertilizer to a gallon of water, and using that to water the seedlings. I'd also add myco-bacteria to the soil if it isn't already inoculated, since it helps the seedlings develop strong and healthy roots.

wahlee76 · Mar 16, 2015

Thanks Rick,

I usually have bags of soil that contain fertilizer for 6 to 12 weeks to get my plants started. Only this time I didn't read so I bought soil with none at all.

I start using chili focus fertilizer after about 2 or 3 months. I'm too lazy to make my own :shh:

Scorched · Mar 16, 2015

Plants are looking great. Glad to see the Pimenta Lisa has made a turn for the better. Love the color of the Pink Tiger

wahlee76 · Mar 23, 2015

I hope the grow is noticable on the pics, compared to last week.
