Plantbreeding@home Update #3: A Wild Seedling Appears XD
<html>
<p>Everyday before I go to my work I have a look at the pots I have set for the Plantbreeding@home experiment. Everyday I look at them and every day I get dissapointed because all I see is the same boring soil and some occasional weeds. But today was a different day :D&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, after 17 days that seemed like an eon the first seedling started to push out of the ground. It was barely visible but it was there!</p>
<p><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U1wZoeo6II0/Wtem7CoEP1I/AAAAAAAARSA/rMbo3cz9XPAH5AlLokaX3-XFDaHkK9MJQCLcBGAs/s1600/seedling%2B1.jpg" width="817" height="613"/></p>
<p>I don't know if I have told you, but everytime I see a seedling struggling to come out I remember this scene:</p>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhpmzQ2lgkM</p>
<p><em><strong>Come on little one! Push!</strong></em></p>
<p>And here's how the seedling looked at 11:00 pm, about 16 hours later:</p>

<p>I guess by tomorrow the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotyledon"><strong>cotyledons</strong></a> (the embryonic leaves) will be out of the ground and soon more pepper plants will soon follow. I will keep you updated :D</p>
<p>In the meantime, here are the my two previous Plantbreeding@home posts:</p>
<ul>
  <li><a href="https://steemit.com/plantbreedingathome/@trumpman/plantbreeding-home-update-2-sowing-the-seeds"><strong>Plantbreeding@home Update #2: Sowing the seeds</strong></a></li>
  <li><a href="https://steemit.com/plantbreedingathome/@trumpman/just-received-my-first-physical-block-chain-gift"><strong>Just Received My First Physical Block-chain Gift!</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>And here's some more info about the plantbreeding@home project:</p>
<h2>What Is PlantBreeding@home?</h2>
<p>PlantBreeding@home is a community project run on Steemit to enable <strong>everyone</strong> willing to participate in the creation of a new plant variety. <a href="https://steemit.com/@dysprosium">@dysprosium</a> is the one who <a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@dysprosium/plant-breeding-with-the-gridcoin-community-project-one-in-a-million"><strong>came up with the idea</strong></a>, inspired by <a href="http://gridcoin.us/">Gridcoin</a> which awards people cryptocoins (gridcoins) for running <a href="https://boinc.berkeley.edu/"><strong>BOINC</strong></a> on their computers.&nbsp;After some thinking, it was decided that for the first round of Plantbreeding@home the participants will grow (or at least try) a new pepper variety, one that is small and sweet.&nbsp;<a href="https://steemit.com/@dysprosium">@dysprosium</a> is also kind enough to offer steem and gridcoins to the people participating in the project if they successfully follow all his instruction :D</p>
<p>Here's the first parent, a super small pepper with a flavor that is more intense than a typical Jalapeno. The fruits are barely 1 cm long. The chilliness is something we hope to remove:</p>
<p><img src="https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/mQfyXZH.jpg" width="1000" height="895"/></p>
<p>And here's the second parent, &nbsp;a sweet variety producing &nbsp;small bell peppers:</p>
<p><img src="https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/Rvfw7o4.jpg" width="1000" height="667"/></p>
<p>Hopefully, we will end up with a variety that is &nbsp;small and sweet. Will we succeed? Time will tell :)And that's pretty much the summary for the plantbreeding@home. For even more info, just read the official updates by <a href="https://steemit.com/@dysprosium">@dysprosium</a>:</p>

Awesome! It’s a nice feeling when you see your plantings start to sprout and grow. I’m hoping that I’m able to take participate in this too. But I haven’t heard back from @dysprosium yet

Hey @hrissm,

I saw and registered your wish of participation, currently I am figuring out how to send seeds to the various international states. This is awfully complicated...  -.- (Turns out, sending seeds and potentially messing up the different ecosystems is not wanted by the different governments, therefore the restrictions are quite demanding, even for harmless varieties ;) )

I will update you all this weekend, I want to ship the seeds to you as soon as possible! So much for now: I already found a solution for

-Canada
-USA (I will need an US - resident to help me, more on the update)
-Switzerland

I am still not sure about:

-Africa
-Russia

Sorry for the delay, I know you are waiting for the seeds. I am in contact with the customs - office, but often they only know the most complicated way (with officials giving a "phytosanitary" certificate to guarantee that the seeds are ok etc.; this is the most costly and time consuming way as one has to wait for weeks, but buried deep in the regulations I found better solutions!) I think I can apply as customs officer after this.... :P

More on the update!

This is so amazing! I would love to try this. I LOVE gardening and always start almost all of my plants, veg, herbaceous perrenial , shrub cuttings, myself. 

I currently have window sills full of plants waiting for warm weather to go into my garden ( I even have come cukes already forming because I couldn't wait to plant and started them too early in January, but they are doing quite well)
I found you thanks to @ruth-girl and was just excited to see the seedling photos that pulled me in and then I read how you are trying to create new varieties. What would I have to do to participate?
