It may not appear that exciting, but it is significant to my chili growing project: the first flower buds are growing. Once they set flowers, with a little bit of help with pollenation (a gentle rub in the flower center), this is where the chilies will begin to grow from. As far as I am aware they will set off a greenish colour and, as they ripen, become deep red cayennes.
I have been comparing my chili growth with other users and most who sowed at the same time as me now have flowers at 12 weeks in. However, those growers are using hydroponics. So far my seeds have germinated and grown to their current state with plenty attention and only natural light.
