wanted WTB...Scorpion seeds...

I've had zero luck in three years of trying. I'd love to grow some scorpions...any variety...I'm not picky. Just want seeds that will actually germinate and give me at least a shot at growing some peppers. I can grow the heck out of japs, habs, and ghost peppers. The scorpion has eluded me thus far. Thanks.
 
I might have some for you. Send me a pm with exactly what you are looking for ( I know scorpions ) and what else. I will let you know if I have it.
Edit - Read my message I sent you.

why have they eluded you ? not germinating ? germinating then dieng ?   :onfire:
I've had a few germinate then die off before they get their first leaves. At the same time I'm growing other peppers right next to them and they just take off for me. But mostly to this point it's been a failure to germinate. Out of a couple hundred seeds over the past few years...I've germinated maybe 10-15.

have they been from different sources ?  and still the same result ?     :onfire:
 
Yeah...I want to say 3 or 4 sources one of them being Hippie Seed Co. So I know that at least one source was good...I don't doubt all of them were though. I'm guessing it's something I am doing wrong...is there something different/special that these peppers need that differs from japs/habs/ghosts?
 
Do you soak your seeds? This is my first year going the seed starting route and out of 500 germ tray cells planted maybe 12 cells haven't germ'd and 9 of those cells were the same variety (poor Borg9, not a single one germinated). I soaked all seeds overnight in half strength chamomile tea. It softens the seed casing and the chamomile has anti fungal properties. I've heard some use a 1:10 hydrogen peroxide 3% solution to soak (1 part peroxide/10 parts water).
 
Try Pepperlover.com.    Cant say enough about this vendor.    I had 98% germinating success this year with their seed.  
   I save my own seed and thats pretty Damn good.

No...never tried that. I was just reading about it in the grow section. Once I get some seeds...I'll try it...maybe do a 50/50 soak/don't soak and see what happens.

+1 for the tea soak.I use the leftover tea mix to water the seeds and seedlings.It works well to help prevent root rot.
