Just getting this started so I can get a url.

Happy New Year, 2021!

Amico, qualsiasi pianta che pubblico verrà identificata con la stessa precisione delle informazioni che ci fornisce la folla di botanica. Nessun nome falso, vecchio nome o post per status o inganno.

Vedi, il tuo inglese è molto meglio di quanto ti dai credito. Andava abbastanza bene con i vari nomi che usavi nei forum dieci anni fa, e gli innumerevoli nomi che hai su facebook. Riporta Leo-c...... era molto più onesto.

Quindi quelli che coltivi non sono uguali ai miei?

A quali innumerevoli nomi ti riferisci? So che molti hanno nomi soprattutto su FB

More seedling pictures to keep this thread lively, show us your seedlings!
Warning : they all look very similar

Cappuccino Chiltepin (C.annuum var. glabriusculum)

CAP 1445 (C.chacoense) up after 14 days

USDA Cardenasii

Ah yes, here's my CAP 1487 seedling, being camera shy. Probably (or should I say hopefully?) hiding under the soil. (Day 9, so I'll give him just a few more before I start nagging.)

If this is C.rabenii then I would give it more than a couple days.Anything under 45 days I don't sweat at all.

 

[ChilliCrosser]

35+ days typically when I get C.rabenii accessions up, sometimes they just go really looooong though.

CGN 20497 up today to join a couple of USDAs, 17 days

 

[ChilliCrosser]

Almost time for some Eshbaughii magic

 

[ChilliCrosser]

Grabbed some phone snaps, proper kit next time.

 

[MarcV]

For phone snaps these look extremely good!

All in the lighting of course. Not in RAW and just using one of those cheapish clip on macro lens. Not bad for a Nokia 3310 though

 

[MarcV]

Plenty good for forum usage

Dropped the seeds February 7th. This is my hardest pepper ever. Love it!

Questo è molto comune tra italiani e brasiliani,no?

Clayton 8-10 and you are certainly at 3-4 accounts? I do not want to do a disservice to the Italian language. I know very little. Bring back leo-c and we can chat in english.

To address your question,the variant of C.geminifolium found in Colombia is very different than yours. Soon it will be updated into the Pepperfriends database and you can make your own assumptions. It will have the proper identification though. It's for educational purposes and not status.

My CAP 1487 is still not showing. It's been three weeks and I'm ready to throw in the towel. Not doing anything rash, 'cause I know they can take even longer.

But come on CAP, what's up with this lazy attitude?

 

[Ratatouille]

It's been a month minus 5 days since I sowed the CAP 1487 seeds. I'm wondering if I should try some new seeds, or leave those for next year. I'm not sure if our short grow season in The Netherlands would benefit a new attempt. What would you all do?

 

[ChilliCrosser]

What would you all do?

I'd wait. A month is nothing for C.rabenii. Come back in a month

I could give you some jargon that is purely anecdotal about letting seeds dry out alittle,turning off heat at night,etc. I have had things germinate when doing these,but when a seed has been sown for 100+ days,it's bound to germinate and it's why I would suggest you just be patient.

The most important thing when germinating seeds is seed quality. Is that seed shop reliable? The photo of the berry was less than impressive to be honest. If you decide to jump into the deepend,I would suggest you ask people that grow wilds to trade. The problem with vendors is that wild viability quickly deteriorates. If they are not growing yearly or atleast bi-annually,the seeds could be junk.

 

[Ratatouille]

Is that seed shop reliable?

Good question! I really couldn't say, it was the first time I ordered from them. I noticed they had some wilds and I placed the order for the CAP and another pepper.

I honestly don't know many (let's say 0) people that grow wilds and I'm not quite the one to go asking around when I'm still getting to know a forum. But who knows, maybe next year. Or maybe not, when these seeds decide to spring to life in a month or two, three.

For now, I'll follow the advice on here and have yet some more patience. I'm sure it will be worth it. Right? Haha!
