Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue?
Then ask in Identification.

Haha Dont sweat it just dont over water the seeds. I had my hp22b's come up after 3 weeks almost 4 weeks. they take a looooong time.
I sowed 5 on 12/3, I had 2 sprout on 12/11, and 1 sprout on 12/14. I have a winter growing project, this is my first time growing as well, I plan on sowing a lot more come Feb.
Here's a crappy cell pic I took just to show you the window I made that I can open and shut in my homemade cardboard grow box. the Carolina reaper is the middle one.

have a question
I notice some presoaked their seed before planting..
I got my seed from pucker butt seed company included was a paper that says to refrigerate the seeds for 3 days before planting..

Not really necessary since peppers generally do not need stratification before sprouting, BUT, follow the planting instructions received with any seeds from any vendors so that if you have problems you should have no issues getting replacements. If you do not refrigerate then they could claim it as your fault.
thanks millworkman
just want to start them right

Started 6 seeds the night before Christmas (12/24). Had 4/6 germinate 8 days later.
These are a little early for my area but I plan to clone a bunch from these mommas.

my hp22b planted 11/25 showed hook on 12/10, green on 12/12, emerged on 12/14 last pic is from today 1/6
Wow, looks great so far!
I sowed a bunch of seeds on Jan 3rd, about 10 varieties, in peat pellets, 3 pellets per variety, 2 seeds a pellet... I had almost all my seeds germinate, but not 1 Reaper sprout, and it's been almost 5 weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed. Soaked seeds overnight, constant 85 degrees F, perfect growing conditions.
I have 1 of 9 reapers so far. That one was after 10 days. No Primos yet after 13 days.
I had one of my reaper seeds break ground after 2 1/2 months! And that was on a heat mat at 83°.......Also the germination rate was 50% for the whole pack.....going to start another pack and hope for at least 50% germ rate again...
When spring hits, I always need to start with as many plants as possible. In the high desert, it is like extreme sports gardening with crazy high temperatures, insane wind, and of course all the pesky rabbits squirrels birds and rattlesnakes all wanting to hang out in the garden.
Only the strong survive...lol

Soaked overnight in chamomile, then for maybe an hour in a mild H202 solution, then went into the rapid rooters on January 14.
I've got rootlets, and one super weak hook...and even my bhuts that went in at the same time are showing true leaves.
These things are super slow. It's interesting the wide range of germ time on them.

I think I stumbled onto this just this week also. I wasnt sure since I hadnt tried to start anything else yet but now it seems more probable. Thanks for the info!
