Terminated 2/10/18 ~ Hot Pepper Surprise - Ultra (1/1/18)

[Shawn]

Vendor:    Burpee Hot Pepper Mix
Sponge:   Park Seed
Seeds:      4 seeds in the pod
Machine:   Ultra

This project will be started on 1/1/18.


The reason for the name is because These Are a Hot Pepper Mix.  I have no clue what will grow as the peppers in the mix are Anaheim, Ancho, Hungarian Wax, Jalapeno and Long Red Slim Cayenne.  So like the project name it will be a surprise to me as to what plant will grow.

[Shawn]

Planted.  I can't wit to see what grows.

[Shawn]

Looking inside the Hot Pepper Pod, there seems to be something growing.

[MaryL]

That sure was fast.

[Shawn]

I know I even had Mark too to be sure

[Shawn]

What do you think?  Is that something growing already?

[MaryL]

I’d say I’m cautiously optimistic that yes, it’s growing already.  It looks like it has a teeny growing component, and either the seed shell from it, or one of the other seeds.  But the contrast is already clear.

[Shawn]

It is hard to tell in this pic but it is light green in color.  Let see what it looks like when the lights come on  this morning.


EDITED TO ADD:

[MaryL]

Oh yup!  There it is!!  Would that all peppers germinated that fast.

[Shawn]

Needed to take the dome off.  You can see a water drop on each leaf.   There are two more plants ready to pop up.  So time will tell which will be kept and what will grow from it.
  

[Shawn]

Two more popped.

[drbanks]

It's always so exciting!

[MaryL]

Yippee-yah-yay!!!  (Sp?)

[Shawn]

I will be trimming two out this week.   The question (not to be answered in a while) is what pepper will grow?

[Shawn]

I pruned the two smaller ones out today.  I have a feeling looking a the size already that this may be larger then it's supposed to be.

I am experiencing this larger size appearance with my Costa Rican Project. Your seedlings look great. I love it how they do their thing at night and surprise you all of a sudden.

[Shawn]

If it does grow too tall I will be pruning it back as it is too cold to plant outside...  assuming the timing ...

[MaryL]

It does look a little tall for its size.  I hope neither of you encounter problems, but based on past grows of these seeds it’s more likely you won’t.  Fingers crossed!

[Shawn]

I need to rethink this one.  Maybe I will keep it maybe I will replace.

Let me ask this?  When can I plant this in dirt outside?  Zone 7?  Maybe I can start something else and then hold this in a shorter machine until then?  Oh I don't know what to do
