Hi so I'm building a tesla coil using the Labcoatz PCB the general bullet points from his video. But he didn't mention anything about the power supply really as far how to build it, and doesnt have any Gerber files for a pcb for the parts he included on the Instructions he linked with the video. I thought of doing it on a prototyping board or using a turret terminal. But any help or guidance is appreciated.

The parts for the Power supply are:

One 12VAC transformer (this model is compatible with input voltages between 110V and 240V) - One bridge rectifier (most units that can handle over 25V and a few amps will work fine)

High voltage DC power supply - Two 250V electrolytic capacitors (over 500uF) - One SL32 1 ohm thermistor (inrush current limiter) - One bridge rectifier (minimum recommended current/voltage ratings of 10A and 1000V)

Hey so pretty straight forward, I planted 3 varieties 2 seeds each so 6 seeds total for a 6 cell tray. Scotch bonnet, Red Savina, and Ghost pepper. Humidity dome, 1020 tray, Heat mat set to 85F classic set up.

The Scotch Bonnet seeds both sprouted in 5 days one Ghost sprouted in 5 days also later in the day, but the Red Savinas have yet to sprout at 9 days obviously it’s too early to be concerned but the lucky sprout of the supposed stubborn ghost pepper has me over thinking. What’s the typical germination time of Red Savina? Do you find it curious how early the Ghost spouted? Can they be as stubborn as ghosts are supposed to be?

Thanks for any insight I’m just impatiently waiting to see the hypocotyl of them.

I believe this Haws watering can website (https://hawsstore.shop/) is a scam, its heavily discounted and its very convincing. Theres the real website www.haws1886.com and the watering cans are full price. If I'm wrong, please let me know, I'll be posting this on the scam reddit.

Ok, I’m completely new to pepper breeding. I’ve been doing research, and I’m curious, what species crosses are considered realistically viable? I’ve read that Capsicum chinense and Capsicum annuum can sometimes cross more readily than other species combinations.

For those with experience, which interspecific crosses have you personally had success with, and which tend to be especially difficult or unstable?

I understand I should probably focus on intraspecific breeding while learning, but I’d still like to understand what the community has already discovered through experimentation. Thanks for any insight.
