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)

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)

A row of little red pots on the edge of a shelf, marked on the pots in black sharpie left to right: X2, Y9, X10, Y10, Y1, Y13, Y13, X6 The pots each have one or two tiny seedlings in them. Behind them a little lower down are a load more similar pots also with tiny seedlings in them. And behind these some succulents, and in the middle behind a tray with allium seedlings.

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)

A tray of small round red plastic pots in a black plastic pot-holder. It is three deep away from the viewer and five wide, with a pot in each hole and an extra pot in the back right corner next to the inner tray. Most of the little pots have 1 or 2 little chilli seedlings popped out of them just off-centre.

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)

A photo of some plants on a bright indoor shelf painted black. Behind the shelf tiles of mirror material reflect the plants. To the foreground two succulents in square ceramic pots, behind them a 3x4 cell seed tray wit some allium seedlings in it, and to either side of that to the back a row of the same small square pots with succulents as at the front. In front of these rows on both sides is a 2-deep 3-wide set of small round red plant pots, and an additional one to the back on the far left. Each small round pot has 1 or 2 seedlings growing in it, apart and off-centre.

104 seeds, 52 little pots, 28 varieties - that's the #chillies in the #HotFridge...

Some I popped in on Thursday evening have popped up already - these were somewhat pre-sprouted on wet paper.

Next up will be the eggplant and capsicum seeds.

I'll wait until second half of Feb for the tomatoes and similar.

A tilted view down into an open fridge. The fridge has a ply shelf at the top and bottom, with a glass shelf between the. Each shelf has a tray of 15 little pots on it, with an extra double-row holder of pots on the third down. The top shelf has yellowish LED light strip above it on the roof of the fridge, the second shelf down has purplish red grow-light LED light shining down on it from the bottom of the shelf above.
Small seedling pots in the purple-red glow of grow-light LEDs, in a pot to the top left a single chilli seedling has emerged, leaves bent to the right, there are 5 other small pots in view inserted into a tray, three across, 2 deep, and the tray runs off the screen to either side and the foreground. In some other pots other seedlings can be seen just emerging.
A set of four 5x3 grids on two sheets of A4 paper, marked up Tray C, Tray B on the left and Tray A, tray D on the right. The cells in the grids have codes scribbled in starting with X and Y, and badly hand printed text of chilli names.

With extra compost mix I got a couple of pots ready for Kat's gingers (of the eating type). Grown from some organic ginger we got via the local organic farmers (imported from Peru I think). We got them started last spring in the #HotFridge and they grew some cute little plants over the summer but then quickly went dormant at the end of autumn. We thought they were ded. Kat even asked about them on Gardeners Question Time and was told they're probably dee eee dee. They have proven otherwise!

Two plastic lime green pots filled with compost, sad on the edge of a circular cement slab (septic tank top).
Two small dark grey pots with tiny spears of ginger growing out of them. The pots are topped with pebbles and sat in beige saucers. These are sat in a benchtop power supply.
