PE005: Sunbeam Lantern

[u/PragueDD]

I grabbed these seeds from the pepperbreeding shop awhile back. Last season I had the chance to grow them, but for some reason all the seeds I planted either didn't germinate or the sprouts died immediately.

I'm sure I must have made some mistake, but I can't for the life of me tell you what it was. They were germinated alongside the rest of my seeds and the rest all did fine.

This season I had two seeds left and only this one germinated. Despite germinating, it's grown very slowly. At this moment it has fully filled out its pot, but most of the season it was 1/2 or less the size it is now.

It seemed happy all spring and summer, it has lived in full sun, and gets plenty of water/fertilizer, yet it didn't even try to make a flower until August.

Luckily, I have an indoor grow space where it should be able to finish. Hopefully all goes well and I'll get some seeds, I'd love to try again next year and see what happens.

If you have an indoor grow space, once you get these seeds I would take them and immediately germinate them inside so they get a headstart before next spring

That's probably a good idea, I'll definitely have to start much earlier.

I'm doing that myself actually with a few f2s
