Wishing them great success in their new homes!

I thought I hit enter but I guess I did not. I believe that brown crusting is from the nutes.

I think you're right, it's the same color, guess it's bubbling up from the water when the pump comes on? Just looks gross on that white deck lol!
S
I just wipe it off when I see it.

Transplanted all but 1 of the pequins so I could start some greens in this harvest!

HarvestRemoved a dried chile from the parent plant and opened it for seed.
PlantingFilled all six Harvest pods with seed from one dried Chile Pequin.
Decided to try growing pequins from a plant that my parents gave me a couple years ago and is starting to look a bit sad. I want to keep him going!! So I left some peppers on the plant to dry, and decided this morning that they looked ready!! Turns out I only needed 1 instead of 3, it was FULL of seed when I broke it open:I filled all 6 pods for my Harvest with just the 1 chile, with plenty left over to save!Fingers crossed that at least one germinates! If by some miracle all 6 take, I'll move some to pots to give away, my parents for sure will want a couple and there a couple folks at work who would love to give a pequin a spot in their house!
