@D32Palma @thebiologistisn Hahaha

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@thebiologistisn Nested polls? Very cool. Likey like.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@thebiologistisn Hahah, yeah. Sometimes it's quicker to wait rather than go through the pain of parallallizing something. I usually use bash or python to break up work and run it in parts with MPI.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@thebiologistisn Yeah, yikes. Sounds like a cool 'how-do-I-deal-with-this-much-data' problem.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@thebiologistisn Cool! Can you script a 'parameter' scan? If you want to try it on my DIY cluster DM me and I will set up ssh access for you. The headnode is a dual socket Zeon server board with 24 GB.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@thebiologistisn Cool! What is limiting the speed? CPU/memory/IO? Also, could you 'parallelize' it further by splitting your genome into multiple chunks and running them concurrently?

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@sjohnson4888 @SeedSciSoc Maybe temp.? Bottom heat helps. Oddly enough, these seeds are germinating under far from ideal conditions - had to ask a lot of them for photography purposes.

C. annuum germinating at ~30,000 fold speedup #seeds #timelapse #time-lapse #photography #video #ffmpeg #videoencoding #botany #biology #capsicum

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@thebiologistisn Hahaha, yeah. Solid basic knowledge and some 'research' skill (google-fu) - interesting phenomenon. I consider it a good thing too.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@AgroBioDiverse @kctomato Woah, yeah. Surprised, sounds the the seeds at the World Veg. Center in Taiwan are dead and the Embrapa Clima Temperado is not able to provide seeds either.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

C. lanceolatum finally germinated! This one took almost a month. Not sure where these specific seeds are originally from but the species is native to Central America, spanning Oxaca/Veracruz Mexico to Honduras #biodiversity #capsicum #plants #peppers

@ClubLangholm @babyredpepperco

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@AgroBioDiverse No, this one is official source unknown.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@AgroBioDiverse @CGN_Wageningen Good catch! Sorry about that - typo, should be CGN20497.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

Late addition! CGN2097 - Capsicum cardenasii: wild pubescens complex member from the Altiplano region in Bolivia. #biodiversity #peppers #capsicum #seeds #plants

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@thebiologistisn Cool, hahah yeah, my problem exactly... Can't stop tinkering and/or germinating every seed I can get my hands on.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@thebiologistisn Thanks for the shout out! One of these days I will get around to a good controlled experiment and measure the effect on generation time. Always seem to have too many varieties... Hard to block out time and space to grow a bunch of identical plants!

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@b3roe @thebiologistisn Cool! Did you grow from seed?

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@bhive01 Hahaha, IR to film continuous timelapse with constant light.

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

Can you guess the first upgrade to the #growthchamber? A bit superfluous, but I'm excited about it. #DIY

[ChaoticGenetics @ChaoticGenetics]

@bhive01 Close, other end of the spectrum...
