March 8th: seeds go into the germination chamber.
March 19th: germiniated seedlings moved under flourescent lights.
(Chiltepin, Aji Amarillo, Whilte Lightnin', White Bullet Habanero)
April 2nd: Seedlings moved to 16oz. plastic cups, back under lights.
April 14th: Notice that the only seeds that didn't germinate, and
hence left for dead, were the Puerto Ricans, which weren't dead, and
had sprouted quite nicely despite 3 weeks of being ignored: no heat,
no light, no water.
These persistent little buggers survived: a cruise back from Puerto
Rico, poor storage conditions (I left them in a baggy, in the pod,
which molded inside and out), then my germination/abandonment.
I am constantly amazed at how resilient El Grande's progeny are.
Scott... waiting for May... KCK
