I usually get seedlings in just over a week.
Sweet on the beans!!!

I LOVE Italian cherry bombs. Peperoncini. Does fine indoors, little pretty fruit, bushy plant, hot enough to make your friends cry. And that's the goal, right?
:D

So I got a mutant, one of the Purple Star sprouted 3 cotyledons and 3 blade leaves!!! But no pics, my digicam sucks.

Lol, last hint, it was an An and i had a new bag-seed grow.

Okay, you're not Opie... let me think. Oh duurrrr A.a.h.ma I know who you are!

Also, what kind of pepperocinis? I've seen different ones, but I know i like the ones they give you with your pizza from papa johns :thumbsup: Lol, when i used to deliver for them I'd load up like a handful of peppers on top of the pizza box in the hot bag and munch on them while I drove around. I smoked more weed delivering pizza than I had at any other job lol. Like a non-stop route.

I dug up a few seeds to see wtf their problem was (from the experiment cup with all the seeds in it) and they actually had almost an inch of root, but they had worked themselves an inch below soil. I re-planted it like 1/4 inch below the top, just for shits and giggles.

I usually stick a couple in each hole so I can cull the runty one.
I don't know exactly where you can get them; I got mine at the christmas tree shops in Massachusetts.. the packet was all in Italian... "Peperoncini Calabrese"... little, perfectly round, intensely red. Let me go do a search of seed catalogs and I'll remember to take pics of my peppers over the weekend.

Here they are!!
prod # PEP115 are the hot round ones
#PEP061 are my other fave, corne di toro... the most beautiful long sweet/hot peppers you ever saw.
I think I'm going to order the dwarf bell peppers from them! SO cute, only 55 days, wow!

Well, the purple one is already above ground even though it wasn't germinated in a baggie first and was planted a few days after the others. The cayenne I transplanted a single germinated seed of to a large pot is barely lifting the dirt and I can see it but its not out yet. And the jalapenos have about 3 popping out of the same pot that look just like the cayennes. Lol, hopefully I kept track of which is which, I kinda fucked up my labeling system. I guess I'll be able to tell which is which soon enough. So about 4-5 total sprouts. Also I transplanted another one of the purple seeds I was germinating. They are the only seeds I've ever germinated that have their taproots turn fuzzy (like little hairlike roots) while in the paper towel. I know the roots haven't been out of the seed for over 24 hours cause I checked them yesterday. No wonder that fucker popped fast. Even that cayenne I dug up didn't have furry roots and it was like an inch long.

Peppers are so much fun.
I'm taking off for the long weekend, probably just up to Vermont to drive around and hit the microbreweries, but I'll be away from the boards.... Have an awesome weekend everyone!!!
:D

Deuce stinky. Drink one for me.

Fuck yes. All sprouted. The purple ones turned green first then completely purple after not even 1 day! 4 Jalapenos sprouted in one cup, so i pulled up two of them to give the others room, and then i got 1 cayenne sprout. I'll post pics when i can. The purple one is so cool! OMG dark purple w00t
