First ghost chilli sprouting

12 years ago

Just had my first ghost chilli ever sprout. Wondering if there was someone out there just starting too. Just wanted to compare the progress with someone else.

Congratulations!

Why are you starting now? Are you testing seed? Are you growing inside under lights?

Just asking

Testing the seed. Plus it's hot year round where I live. Don't know if it makes much of a difference when I start

There is a lot of information on this on the Hot Peppers forum, which you can find by clicking the link near the top of the page of the Vegetables forum. It is searchable, and also I think they may have a FAQ, and of course you can ask your question again. And you may want to include your info of where you live (just country or state, no need to be too precise), since for example, I have never heard of your brand of fertilizer, or your types of chilis, and only have a vague notion of how large a 500 ml cup is. You can also do a search (bottom of page) on "starting from seed" or "growing from seed" or "starting indoors" of both this forum and the Pepper forum and find a lot of info. You got the seeds to sprout, good job!

'First Ghost' Maple Seedling

You won't find seedlings but you can find small grafted starts - ForestFarms, Bloomriver and a few other mail order sources offer it. If you are interested in maples that have "ghost" as part of their name, there is an entire 'Ghost' series of Japanese maples developed by Talon Buchholz of Buchholz and Buchholz Nursery in Oregon -- 'Amber Ghost', 'Sister Ghost', 'New Ghost', 'Purple Ghost', 'Ghost Dancer', etc. All are reticulated sports and feature delicate veined, patterned foliage. I grew 'Ghost Dancer' in my old garden and it truly was a stunning plant. These all need protection from afternoon sun, even in my mild climate. FWIW, named forms of JM's are never seedlings and these are notoriously tricky to grow from cuttings, so looking for small grafted plants may be your best bet.

Yep. Patience. You have nothing to worry about where you're at judo. LOL...Here's the thing-- once you start seeing color, they'll turn to an orange relatively quickly. But then you have to wait about another month for final color. But, here's the good part... you'll get a pod here and there for a while and then, all of a sudden, they'll be coming out of your ears. Bowlfuls of red ripe pods. You like habaneros... they do the same thing. They just get on with it a bit quicker. It's only my second year of growing anything hotter than an hab. But, it seems like that with ALL peppers... even bells. You wait, and then wait some more and then more and then all of a sudden, you got so many you don't know what you're going do with them all.

help potting up my Little Elf Chilli seedlings

Hi Seedo13 I would as a new grower nix the peat pots. And if you soaked them in an inch of water they probably took in the whole inch of water and on top of that if you are using a peat based soil it's holding a lot of water so that's what is killing your seedlings. I would get plastic starting pots and go from there. Peat pots soak and dry quickly so hard to gage the right time to water. Mark

"it's hot year round where I live" Nice, lucky you.

I'm up above the 49th in Ontario CA so I start my Bhuts in January for up coming short season.

Post a pic and I'm sure you'll get input.

Just make sure to keep a spray bottle of peroxide handy. Don't want damping-off to get it.

Yes, I grew Bhuts for the first time last February and got ripe ones end of July. Still getting some from a sunny dome in our house.

I put them under lights, but they were very slow to grow. They didn't take off until they went outside. I did have flowers happening before they went out though.

Wait until you taste them though. Bhuts are fabulous.
