The 2010 Chilli growing thread - it's scorching!

sorted out a seed tray and seed compost. got a clear lid for it too.
the box on my naga's say that they need to be at 18 to 20 C for germination. the tray is ontop of the aga at the moment and with some insulation around the 22C mark (air temp inside tray with lid)

Do you think this will be alright?

cheers
 
Ok the seeds are in the mail 1st class although they'll miss today's post. Sorry for the delay folks but they are on their way :D

ive found cutting a bottle horizontaly for the lid and bottom and places it over the plant retains moisture really well!

Careful trapping too much moisture as it can encourage mold or stem rot.

I remember reading that you should water in the morning. That way the water is used through the day and doesn't cause a humid atmosphere under the plant's canopy (although another way is to ensure you have some air flow if the plants are thick with foliage). Have to say the Naga's didn't seem to have any problem with this..
 
I think this weekend will be a fever of planting for germination ;) :D

My three Nagas are doing well and are now starting to flower, I'll get some photos up later.

Got mine today! Thanks NickK!

I ran out of pot's though :( , so trying to germinate in an old lunch box. Should this work?
 
Yeah thanks Nick, got mine today as well, I'll get them germinating as soon as Ive had my tea :cool:.

BTW, I have half a pack of Ailsa Craig tomato seeds you can have if you're interested? Planted a load but the rest of the seeds will just be wasted.

Ive also ran out of pots, so Ive been saving old pot noodle pots. Should be OK to use with a few holes drilled in the bottom.
