The seeds were sourced from Novacastrian and Aji Chombo from thehotpepper.com
Also have some pre-existing pubescens, baccatum and chinense from last season, but I wont focus on them.
All seeds planted into 'Jiffy Pots' (3-4 per pot) on Monday 30 August, into 20lt tubs, and over a 4m heat cord designed for reptiles.
Tubs/cord were insulated from the cold ground with newspaper and the tubs themselves covered in it, whilst allowing ventilation.
Pots kept moist, ambient temps from 13-26C (55-78F), but with the heat cord, I was maintaining a fairly level 28C. Tub was humid and warm.
Tuesday 7 Sept saw the first Naga rise.
Over the past few days, most has come up (close to a 90% success rate per pot), and only the Barrackpore 7s and White Habs yet to make an appearance.
