Seriously, does anyone read this blog? I don’t advertise it, so mostly I see spammers trying to join and whatnot. Happy to continue posting updates if people are interested, but it’s pepper prep-season so I’m focusing on those. r/PepperLovers & … Continue reading →

Trailblazer: August 1st update – 12 leaves and counting!

Avacadeux update: Parafilm wrap

Posted on April 7, 2019 by Jesse

As mentioned previously, I was considering wrapping this seedling in parafilm grafting tape. This is the first time I’ve used it, so hopefully it works out. Here’s a few photos of the before and after wrap-job. The exact film I … Continue reading →

Teenie-cado is waking up!

Posted on April 6, 2019 by Jesse

Pretty soon we will see a tail coming off of this guy, and then we can add it to some hydroponic nutrients. These pictures show the bottom of the seed which has started to open up.
