Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I would eat one on cam if they let me smack Larry 
Success in the peltier fridge set to 28C. It's only been four days and an amarillo and a hab from the 18 month old first batch of seeds I bought have sprouted.
They didn't germinate very well in summer 2009 so I gave up on them all as duds and I've just been buying seedlings instead since then.
Now I just need to know if 42mm jiffy pellets are the right size to buy before I buy a whole heap of new seeds in a month or two. (Need to work out some lighting first before I plant the new varieties I'm after.)

Just got a hook from another 18mnth old seed, a PC1 Naga. So just potting mix and my 55mm seedling pots working well. Seedling pots and the mix I'm using seems to hold moisture well in the sealed and warm peltier fridge.
Really need to get a grow light, thinking of the 400W MH or one of the fluoro propagation lights from here http://stores.ebay.com.au/aussielightingworld/Hydroponics-/_i.html?_fsub=1336510012&_sid=914071522&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 Though I'm trying to do all this with nil/little expenditure, and I know fluoro probably better for new seedlings, but I don't want to buy that and a MH lamp.
Moving sucks, I threw away a shelf for my little fridge, and a whole heap of fluoros when I moved last year.
I spent so many hours watching youtube vids about DIY grow lights over the past 2 nights...

I bet you now know a whole lot about growing weed.
Noooooo, nothing major at all....
Wish I could tell ya, but fortunately fruitfly is one pest I've not had to deal with.... knock on wood.
I just jam it into the side of a spare jiffy and treat it the same as a seeded jiffy (moisture levels, etc).
I think I may have slightly overdosed some of my little fellas.... 
Looks like it, yeah?
Only used liquid ferts so flushed the medium last night.... reckon that is enough or keep flushing a few more times? And more importantly, as never dealt with OD before, will they be alright!? I'm usually so careful when it comes to ferts!

Alright another question to ponder or simply answer ...
If your propagator is not under lights itself (as mine isn't) do people get the germinated seedling out of the propagator as soon as they see a hook in the soil or do they wait until the hook is out of the medium more/or completely out?
I have just seen the starting of one of my Yellow 7 pot/pods (not a hook though more a straight) germinating
and am wondering if I should pull it out and put it under light now ? Also should I bury it a little more to ensure it hooks back into the soil?
Sorry more then one question

As an experiment I left one in the dark fridge until fully out (it's now 15mm tall, in an inverted J shape with the leaves pointed down - still in hooked position). The other I put under the cold lights as soon as I saw the hook.
I get 'em out the second I see a hook and whack 'em straight away like 1cm under my light (keeping a VERY close eye on them at first to make sure they don't actually grow into the light as they grow upright!Alright another question to ponder or simply answer ...

)I figure I gotta be doing something right....
eh? eh?
(another reason I love jiffy's too.... they make it soooo much easier to do this!)
...and brown.And you got yellow!
Yup i put them straight under light as soon as i see ANYTHING Be careful though about distance from the light though as they can differ.
I had a rocoto seedling about 1cm away like gas said and fried it. Its still alive just but has not grown at all since. Now they go about 10 cm away from the light.
