Woot, woot! All that clean living, and thinking only pure thoughts, must be finally paying off! Of my 14 White Russian x Texada Timewarp seedlings, so far 6 females and 3 males, nice ratio. I have a cut of Purple Urkle, I did some research on it, though I couldn't find it specifically in a strain base, most of the purple strains listed there showed a 50-55 day finish, man, that's better than most outdoor strains I've seen. A few Jamaicans will go out, too, see how they do.

We do have the first round of seedlings started inside. 5 Shiva Shanti, 3 Power Skunk, 10 bagseed clones, and of course the pepper and egg plant seedlings.

which ones are the peppers? far right? mine haven't really sprouted yet. for some reason my peppers are giving me issues when nothing else is.

i just went and put down like another 30 pepper seeds the other day for good measure.

Swordfish thats a lot of bags of soil.

have you ever considered getting a truck load of soil? I think it's cheaper, and probably less sketchy. havn't tried it myself though, unfortunately I don't need the volume.

Tripps White Russian x Texada Timewarp <---- sounds Amazing! I live in British Columbia where the strain originates and Still have troubles getting my hands on the ol Texada Time. I'm jealous.

so i threw a bunch o seeds in my backyard for kicks and giggles and i have 3 little sprouts, well 2 now, one got eaten lol in suprised tho bc my backyard is like solid red clay, horrible growing dirt, gets real compact, but the 2 r doin good so we will see, my money is on them getting eaten seeing as its like the only living green plant in like an 8 foot bed, pretty easily spotted by me so im sure birds and bugs can see them, but like i said we will see, mabey ill get a bush haha hope for the best

Yep the ones on the right are pepper's jalpeno i think far left is the eggplants. Their starting to take off and will be ready for the outside before the outside's ready for them. I have always had trouble growing peppers from seeds soo best of luck.

do you clone them now? or buy the plant from a nursery?

[tripps]

Well, I only do soil in the spring, and I struggle at it every time. After some early initial mistakes, underwatering and undernuting, go firgure, Overcompensated, cuz I usually overwater and overfeed. Transplanted up into Fox Farm OF soil, with 15% added perlite, in 24 hours they perked up, in 48 they were like new plants.

First 4 WR x TT that showed sex, with a recovering Sour Diesel mom on the left.



The two biggest in the back looked ready, so I topped them and cloned the tops. I stole a trick from analog and started them right in 4" pots. I always cloned into dirt in the old days, with good success. Should give them the fastest, undisturbed start, not having to transplant to pots.



They all are doing better, the 2 in the big pots are females #5 and 6. Only 3 males so far, Actually only 2 I'm sure enough to label, and I think I see female on at least 2 or 3 more. Just found my damn magnifying glass, I'll look again tonight.



I start peppers from seed every year, they just take a long time to germinate, especially the hotter ones.
