Gonna check him out in the morning. If it's a Seahawk helmet, we can't be friends....just kidding.  

 

[CaneDog]

Haha.  Don't worry.  I had to zoom in a little, but it looks like you're ok.

 
EDIT:  FTFY.

And you guys killed our dreams at the Super Bowl in '06.
 
Fixed the photo.   Don't want that guy getting plucked before he has a chance.

He has declared free agency..haha. The hull came off without a problem, hope the leaves open up and can continue to grow.

Your fotos would be more informative if you used some more natural  light.

 

[TattooedBullfrog]

After a few days of getting the hull off, the reaper has started to open. There are three leaves, just let nature take its course?

 

[CaneDog]

Cool.  I like the ones that come up with 3 cotyledons.  Do I see right that the first true leaves have started to come in on that one or is it just a trick of the angle?

 

[TattooedBullfrog]

That's the real deal photo!!

Time to transplant the reapers and while out shopping today had a apocalypse scorpion bust out of the soil!

 

[TattooedBullfrog]

The plants are doing well, had 99% germination. Reaper: 5 of 6, Apocalypse Scorpion: 3 of 3, and just for fun planted lemon seeds: 3 of 3.

 

[TattooedBullfrog]

Here's the grow station set up. Top shelf is germination tray: seed factor heat mat, kimbro light. Second shelf is grow tray: kimbro light, dual 4" fans (9 step), all on a timer. Both shelves are wrapped with Reflectix reflective insulation.

Gave the reaper plants a couple of beads of osmocote on 12.7.19. Think they like it, growing nice.

 

[TattooedBullfrog]

Transplanted some of the reaper and apocalypse scorpion plants to larger containers. Also told myself not to plant any more seeds until Feb, but just can't help it. Bottom picture: front row are death spiral peppers, rear row are micro tom tomatoes. Planted 1.4.20, germination: tomatoes: 1.9.20, death spiral: 1.10.20 temp average: 84.6F

I just started some of my seeds on the weekend, nothing sprouted yet.  The rest I will get started this coming weekend.
This year I'm growing:
Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Satan Strain
7-Pot Brain Strain X Carolina Reaper
7-Pot Atlantic Yellow
Ghost Pepper Orange
Chocolate Long Pepper Seeds
Brazilian Reaper
Apocalypse Scorpion
Habenero
Jalaneno
Banana
Poblano
 
Plus I have overwintered two hot pepper plants from Paraguay, in my garage with a heater and grow light. So far they still look decent. Keeping them around 10 celcius, watering every couple of weeks.
I'm in the Niagara region in Canada, near Buffalo. Last year my reapers and scorpions all did great, I still have bags of dehydrated peppers, and make several dozen jars of hot sauce. Most have been gifted away already, down to less than a dozen left.

 

[TattooedBullfrog]

That's an awesome list of peppers, wish you luck with this years grow. I was looking all over for this thread and didn't realize it got moved to g-logs, thanks for who ever moved it. I had to top some of the reaper plants, they were growing like crazy.

Just caught up with your first round of seeds -
the plants look great.
 
Good luck getting the next round underway!
