...good stuff, keep an eye out for flower stalks...

Yikes! Hopefully they're still to young and/or it's too late in the season.

A flowering seedling would just be too stressful on a new plant dad

I had a look through your thread. That's crazy! Such a barrage of seedling flowers. Nice plants too!

It would be cool to capture that in some macro photography. I'll keep my lens peeled!

My "maroon monster" it's an e bay special. Classic low germination ratio, 2 sprouts out of 8 seeds

This doesn't look like VFT.

At some point you might want to carefully put them into a peat/perlite mix.

...I suspect if you would've seeded them in a proper mix you may have gotten better germination. I'm not sure those 'peat pellets' are the best way to go. Also, grown from seed, that may not be a true Maroon Monster, but it could be a different monster! Happy Growing.

Yeah I just repotted them in peat and perlite. I left them in a little clump of the peat puck so I would be sure not to damage any of the roots.

Yeah you are probably right. I was just stoked to start them and I had extras from my crazy pepper incident. All in all it was worth it. I have two plants and they make me happy:D

I have some seeds on order and have been reading the post's about starting seeds. What is Maiden's method? I have blood-worms already for my fish tank. I want to be totally prepared for the seeds when they arrive.
