I am blogging my attempt to grow chilli peppers from seeds bought on eBay.

Day 48 - ... And the rest will follow.

Today I re-potted some more of my chillies from their Tupperware trays to proper plant pots (above). It seems that the seedlings which had not yet been re-potted, are not as strong as those I potted two weeks ago. At first I thought they were taking longer to germinate, but it would appear that they are either smaller plants or just not as healthy.
As before, I only picked the seedlings that had more than one set of leaves. Where possible, I followed the same procedure as when re-potting the earlier seedlings (see here). However, this time I only occasionally had enough seedlings to fit more than one in each pot. I did manage to spare one Anaheim and one Habanero Red, which I have re-potted and given to my sister. Perhaps her house can be considered Location 5.
There are still some small seedlings in the trays that I will need to re-pot when they are big enough. However, there was still no sign of germination in tray 7B (Scotch Bonnet Red) so I threw the soil away this afternoon.
