Winter indoor grow/ 2020 grow list
- Thread starter TattooedBullfrog
- Start date
Let's see how this grow goes. I meant germinated instead of sprouted on the pic.The oranges were really good tasting.
Well sadly we're off to a bad start. We left in early march to go visit family in South America. My parents were looking after the pets/house/seedlings, but forgot about the seedlings for a few days and they dried out and most died. Once we got back (and are in self quarantine for 2 weeks after having to rush home or get stuck down there for months), I replanted, but we'll be behind this year, so hoping for a long and hot summer.
On the plus side, the South American pepper plants I overwintered in the garage seem to still be doing well. I'll start putting them outside for a couple hours a day soon.

Did some transplanting yesterday from seeding tray to 4" pots. The reaper is in its final pot 4gal for the season and the micro tomatoes are turning.
Set the bigger plants outside yesterday(80 degrees) for a few hours, really need this last cold snap to pass they need transplanted bad in final container. 4 reapers, 3 AS, and 3 death spirals.
I know, the plants are starting to crowd me outta the house...haha. Is it ok to PM you i've got a question about a possible cross pollination, never did it before.
Yesterdays micro tomatoes, the first bite tastes like a cherry tomato then a hint of tartness at the end. Not as good as a cherry but they are ok.
Tried to post these yesterday, but the net was super duper slow. Transplanted 4.12.20 the blood orange tree is zooming right along. The flytraps are doing awesome, 2 traps on front plant and the plant in the back has 3 traps.
Transplanted Reaper #2 into a 4 gal container. It was a little root bound in the 1qt container but hosed off the soil and gave the roots a small massage to loosen her up!! 
Yes, I'm pretty comfortable with 4gal pots, they produce just enough peppers anything bigger I'd be scrambling to what to do with them all. Although I'm going to plant one of the reapers in the ground and see what becomes of it. If IL weather stays stable is next week, think the lowest its going to get is upper 30's at night I'm kicking the bigger plants outside for good!!PaulG said:

Right on, TB, even a 3-gallon pot produces
pretty decent plants/yields.
Hope you are able to get the plants outside
real soon. We are holding our breath here that
the night temps will stay in the mid 40s and
above. We’re due to have a decent grow season,
for sure!
PaulG I got the micro seeds from rareseeds, however the site is down to restock/disinfect the work place. Posted this last night but guess THP website crashed or something and the posts/pics were removed.PaulG said:

Yeah, so was my response.TattooedBullfrog said:
I found another couple of sources:
https://heritageseedmarket.com/index.php/product-category/dwarf-tomatoes/micro-dwarf-tomatoes/
https://www.renaissancefarms.org/seeds/10-varieties-of-miniature-dwarf-tomatoes-under-8-inches-tall/
I ordered a variety from each of them.
The Renaissance Farms order shipped today.
I only ordered the others yesterday.
Looking forward to trying these out.
Glad you posted about them. Thanks!
PaulG, no problem the micro were entertaining to grow. Might get some of those from Renaissance Farms in the future.
These hot sauce bottles crack me up and can only think of Emilio Estevez..... "Yoooo Hoooo I'll make you famous".
Got a load of mulch Thursday for the 10x20 bed for the container plants.
