Given this year has been the worst outdoor grow season for me ever & the few wilds I started either didn't germ or succumbed to the elements early on I've gone ahead and tried to start a few. Also gives me more time to re-attempt should I get the inevitable failures.
I'd rather manage plant size and give them a good head start than end up with another season with no wilds I have a bit more winter grow space at least this year. Is it just me or does grow space always seem much bigger when filled with imaginary plants?
Went through my seeds and started germination last week for these:
I have a few others for next year as well but will need to start those nearer the time as even in my optimistic imagination I can't fit them all in the space I have.
- C.Flexuosum
- C.Praetermissium (seeds from a previous grow, need to identify which one!)
- C.Lanceolatum
- C.Galapagoense
- C.Cardenasii (CGN 20497)
- C.Tovarii
Anybody up for some seed swaps?
I am looking for some true Tepin seeds.
Will do, John, Thanks. pal!PM your address and anything else you might be interested in.
What!! I didn't even note they were deciduous! Sweet! How do feel about them? I'll have to find them in your GLOG. They sound like an awesome candidate for Bonchi. Thanks.. I'll hit you up in the DM.@CraftyFox I have some ripe wild brazil orange on plant now, but they're OP. I have a couple nice healthy green pods bagged that I expect to ripen shortly, though, and would be happy to send ISO seeds your way if/when they come through. Pods are deciduous and not very long, but chunky.
That little brown pod looks just like my Capucinno Chiltepin (Semillas la Palma).@ Paul:
I have Cap Tepin that came true, from what I can tell.. Indoor grown and isolated. I got one pod off it before the mites lit it up, but you are definitely welcome to seed.. If you don't have that one from the train. I might have more later this winter if it bounces back.. The other one I have is too busy being chopped to produce anything yet, but I hope to have more later this winter. They are the two tall, upright ones in the sawed-off quarts.. I have a heck of time keeping them out of the lights. Really upright habit on both of them, unlike that Uvalde Wild I have. Pod was a little brown ball, just like the one I got the seed from.
What do I do with them now? Pickle, ferment, dry? What are your favourite uses for wilds?Yeah, @Siv, but they look so awesome when you show
them off like that. What a great jar full of color!
I think they would make great spicy jelly/jam when fresh. I usuallyWhat do I do with them now? Pickle, ferment, dry? What are your favourite uses for wilds?
That's what it was given to me as.. I can't say I fully understand them. I'm just calling it a wild Ann v. glab. for now.. 'Officially'. Haha.That little brown pod looks just like my Capucinno Chiltepin (Semillas la Palma).
It's growth habit is more like the Uvalde Wild you mention; in a #10 container,
the bush got to about 2'6" tall and 2' wide.
If I remember correctly, you said the Uvalde (that I got off the 2019 seed train)
was a Pequin variety, correct?
62 days in and the second of my C.Praetermissum seeds has popped up. I only put two of these in, I knew my own harvested seeds were good sometimes
The earlier one is looking good, if a little more leggy than I'd like but that'll get fixed. First true leaves appearing. Trying these in coco, perlite, vermiculite mix in double-cup for starters.
No signs of the rest of the wild crowd as yet.
Thanks @Pr0digal_son Always good to get the first ones up and running. I'm moving some indoor things around so the leggy one was under an LED light used for something else but didn't want to put it too close early on, as you say it's an easy fix. Should be in it's new home at the weekend.Nice work. There is no rhyme or reason to some of these wilds when germinating. Flood them with light and that leggy plant will correct itself. One foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator.
