Placed three seeds from MIgardener in a 17 oz (500 ml) plastic Pepsi bottle. The bottle is mostly filled with potting soil, although the top two inches were filled with coco coir to prevent any potential eggs in the soil from causing pest issues. I've added a small pipette (with both ends sliced) to allow for easy/deep watering even once the plant is fully grown. I will trim it down to one seedling if more than one sprouts. |

No germination yet (I would have been astonished if there was), but here is what it looks like.  |

The seedlings aren't through the soil yet, but I can see a hint of green below the surface! This is the fastest I've ever seen a pepper seed sprout.

It's almost there! I placed a drop of water on the seed helmet to try and get rid of it.  |

There are two seedlings now! I added a few drops of nutrient solution near the base of the seedlings to get them started.  |

I am curious to see if they will produce peppers.

I am curious to see if they will produce peppers. They should! This is similar to what Khang Starr does with whiskey bottles, just on a smaller scale. |

Thinned it down to one seedling, now that I saw how the first true leaves started to develop.  |

Moved this into my grow tent today. I also added approximately 6ml of some old nutrient water I had mixed up.  |

So far, it seems to be thriving under the new light and temperature conditions:  |

I topped this a day or two after my last post, and it seems to be recovering?  |

I think I let the bottle dry out too much, it is hard to tell how much water this plant needs.  |
