Well here goes
Picture 1 Friggitello on the kitchen window seal.
Picture 2 The other 3 in the grow lights..
Picture 3 Red Cherry
Picture 4 jalapeño
Picture 5 this is my overwintered chili plant. Have moved upstairs in the loft conversion as the conservatory was well to cold and the new shoots have been like that for a while.
I have re sowed the hungarian hot wax so watch this spaceLast edited by jacks10; 05-01-2017, 05:56 PM.

Oh and if I were going to bottom water them, I would put some warm water in a bowl or old takeaway container or some such, and gently dunk the Garland 7 "pod" into it, then lift it out and return it to the propagator. I wouldn't flood the propagator base itself.

I sowed a few more last night (can’t stop once I have started
So I sowed 2 seeds each of :
Bangalore Whippets Tale (pictured)
Guntur Sannam
Teja (pictured)
Habanero White
Gelbe Kirschen
Jalapeno
Ohnivev
and
Pasilla Bajio...so I can track these with Ms-TLast edited by Tripmeup; 06-01-2017, 10:35 AM.I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

Bottom water only for me....but I haven't got a super7.

thanks everyone ,some good ideas there ,i have a pipette and a syringe and also im only using 6 out of the 7 props so i can take the empty one off and put a small kitchen jug with water in on the tray too warm it up before i water it ,vix i did water mine last night from the bottom and it hasnt caused any props so far ,cheersThe Dude abides.
