They grow up so fast.
This is at about 2 weeks since the first germinations.
Soon I'm going to have to decide which of the double plants I am culling, or transplanting to their own pots.

Ah-hah.. have found Thursday's notes on what got moved from #HotFridge to #GrowShelf, they were in some other open Masto tab hidden amongst the many tabs... I didn't note how many pots of each of these, but I can interpolate that from the other data..
3x Rocoto Costa Rica - Y2 (2 pots)
2x Beaver Dam - Y11 (1 pot)
2x Rocoto Marlene - Y1 (1 pot) -

Right, have organised all the little germinated chilli pots so we I can do a proper assessment of the status of things... key question right now is: what is missing? Given I have germinations from both 7 Pot Primo and Naga Morich anything that hasn't germinated yet is very suspect:
X7 - Big Sun Habanero, last 2 seeds of this, some old seed (Feb'21), no surprise, not that important a variety for us tho.
X9 - Orange Drop, last 2 seeds from Fatali Jan'23... I do have some dehydrated chillies from 2023 I could try seed from.
Y5 - Yaki Blue - newest seed, Jan'25, from Chilli Chump... 🤞🏻
Y14 - ZERO Padrons :( - despite it being the variety I planted the most seeds of! These are some of my older seed (Dec'22, not ancient) so perhaps "that follows"... and I need to buy some more seed, pronto!
The biggest problem there is the padrons, I cannot imagine a summer without some padrons on the BBQ. (We barely had any last year, but did manage a handful.)

Almost forgot to do a Friday (OK, Saturday early hours) #HotFridge check.
I'm a bit confused as I thought I did a Thursday one, but I don't see a record of it here... I'll do a re-org of the little pots tomorrow and if there's a diff between what's on the grow light shelf and what's documented here I'll fill that in... (as this thread has become my primary record of chilli germination lol).
Just now moved from #HotFridge to #GrowShelf we have:
1x Naga Morich (yay!) - X2 (1 pot)
1x BB Mama - X6 (1 pot)
2x Bishop's Crown - X10 (1 pot)
1x Rocoto Marlene - Y1 (1 pot)
1x KangStarr Sweet QueenHi - Y9 (1 pot)
2x KanStarr Lingria - Y10 (1 pot)
3x Chilli Chump Piri Piri - Y12 (2 post) -

Next day, EVEN M04R CH1ll13Z!!
Also super-chuffed that my 7 Pot Primos have germinated so soon! These can be a bastard to germinate. Turns out my "abuse" of them leaving on a wet tissue for over a week after the chamomile soak hasn't done any harm. They hadn't sprouted yet when I planted them but they were clearly close. No doubt the 28C of the #HotFridge did the rest, and *boom*... under 2 days later we have 3 or 4 up and out of the soil.
Today's additions to the #GrowShelf:
3x 7 Pot Primo (X1)
3x Kashmiri Mirch (Y3)
3x Candy Cane Chocolate Cherry (Y4)
4x Biquinho Red (Y6)
3x Thunder Mountain Longhorn (Y7)
2x KangStarr StarrLing (Y8)
1x Beaver Dam (Y11)
4x Chilli Chump Piri Piri (Y12) -

First #chillies have graduated from the #HotFridge to the #GrowShelf ... speedy!
I take them out when at least one seedling in a pot has both cotyledons well open. The goal is for one strong seedling per pot. Though I may consider pricking out one of the two to another pot if another pot fails or I want more of that plant.
Here we have:
2x Aji Mango (X8) <-edit
3x Sugar Rush Stripey (X13)
4x Trinidad Perfume (X4)
3x Tangerine Tiger (X12)
3x Chilli Chump Jalapeño (X14)
3x Scotch Bonnet (X5)
3x Madre Veija (X11)
