JohnF 0 Posted July 23, 2008 I sow my seeds in a 200 cell tray , cover with a dome ,and place on a heat mat. Most were sown 4/12 but some a little later. Eventually the heat mat was needed for other things and the tray was removed and allowed to dry out. It was re-wet and dried , put back on the heat mat, dried, etc. (I have done this in the past and got some reluctant germinators) Finally a few weeks ago I put the tray outside in the weather with no dome to cover. 7/20 - two Potka/Boonbai Morich popped up. They were sown 4/26. None had previously germinated 7/23 - One Cili Burung and one Bonda Man Jacques showed themselves. They had been sown 4/12 and some of each of thee varieties had previously germinated. miei seminare semi in un vassoio di 200 cellule, coprire con una cupola, e luogo di calore su una stuoia. La maggior parte sono stati seminati 4 / 12 ma alcuni un po 'più tardi. Infine la stuoia di calore è stato necessario per altre cose e il vassoio è stato rimosso e lasciato asciugare. E 'stato ri-umido e secco, rimettere sul tappeto di calore, secchi, ecc (ho fatto in passato ed ha ottenuto alcuni riluttanti germinators) Infine un paio di settimane fa ho messo il vassoio al di fuori del tempo senza cupola a copertura. 7 / 20 - due Potka / Boonbai Morich popped. Essi sono stati seminati 4 / 26. Nessuno aveva precedentemente germinati 7 / 23 - Uno Cili Burung Bonda e un uomo ha mostrato Jacques stessi. Esse sono state seminate 4 / 12 e alcuni di ciascuna delle varietà ti aveva precedentemente germinati. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lonewolf 18,234 Posted July 24, 2008 Nice work. Those seedlings will need almost till october-november to produce ripen fruit ... how is the climate in Bangor in those months? Will you complete ripening indoor? PS. By the way ... Bangor, Maine is one of the place I heard mentioned more often while reading novels; most of the books of Stephen King (one of my preferred authors) are placed in that zone.

JohnF 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Nagalone Yes, it will be cold then and the plants will need to be brought inside. Steven King and his wife Tabitha live here in Bangor. He also has a local radio station that you can access from the internet http://zoneradio.com/wkit/index.shtml He is a generous man and supports lots of local things including our excellent library.

JohnF 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Potka/Boonbai Morich is new for me so I don't have pictures. I believe the name refers to the seed source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnF 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Talas This is what my source tells me about Potka/Boonbi :It’s a rare variety from the Asian seedbank. Different looking than Naga Morich / Bih Jolokia in my opinon, but still staggering super hot type heat. It's from Bangladesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
