Sorry for rehashing what is likely a well covered topic, but my quick search didn't give me an answer.
I have a bunch of seeds currently in moist paper towels stuffed in sandwich baggies, and I'm curious whats the preferred method for germination.
I've seen some germinate in the paper towel till they bust out a tap root, and others plant directly to the seedling trays, and I don't know if one is preferable to the other. I've had some other seeds mold before they germinated using the paper towel method, and it seems the peppers can take a bit of time to germinate so I'm not sure which way to go. I'm leaning towards planting in seedling trays on heating pads but figured I'd ask those that know.
Thoughts?
