Ooops, it has somehow been a whole week since I last posted about my chillies! Germination of the chillies in the previous post is now well underway, with nine pots moved to the #GrowShelf from the #HotFridge.
The varieties germinated so far are:
- 2x Biquinho Red
- 2x Biquinho Yellow
- 1x CC Jalapeño
- 2x KhangStarr StarrLing
- 2x Trepaderia Werner
Note that I count "per pot" rather than per-seed, so some of these I have more of and an option to grow-on extras, for example there are actually 3x seedlings of each of the 2x above.

About half my chillies have germinated already - some time in the last 36 hours anyway. Chamomile soaked from 25th Jan, planted in pairs in mini pots on 28th Jan and popped into the #HotFridge, germinated circa 3rd/4th Feb.
If there is a race to be won here I guess the prize goes to the Chilli Chump "Kimchi Pepper" seeds — all 4 seeds strongly germinated!
Currently our no-shows are Chilli Chump Naga Morich, and also both Rocoto varieties (Marlene and Costa Rica, also both Chilli Chump, from last year.)
On the superhot germination front we have have a single Naga Morich from Fatalii and a single 7 Pot Brainstrain Yellow from Chilli Chump. That's pretty speedy for superhots really.

Was pondering if this very dead fridge could be repurposed as a kinda posh #allotmemt coldframe.
But Kat's suggestion is it can become #hotfridge MK2… I like the idea of a germination enclosure with glass doors. Hmmm... 🤔 Plus then I can worry less about the refrigeration gas problem. It'll remain "safe" indoors until the day it is disposed of properly.
Think if I was to try and make some sort of coldframe with it I'd need to use the doors only and have the main fridge disposed of properly.
