Mallorcan mistery pepper

A while back I managed to get my hands on some dried pods of a couple of traditional Mallorcan chili varieties, the Tap De Cortí sweet chili and the Cirereta hot chili.

I extracted the seeds and did a test germination. One of the varieties did germinate, but silly me, I did not tag the seeds in my propagator so I do not know which of the varieties is actually growing  :rolleyes: ...
Initially I did not intend to keep any of the seedlings of the test germination but now I'm curious to know which one is actually growing, so I picked the best looking one and put it in a pot. And here it is, just another capsicum seedling! :)

I really hope this is the hot variety. I already have grown the sweet one from seeds I got from a forum member so I already know what to expect from that one.
Here's some more info from the vendor...

Very interesting, Marc. The Cirereta at 16,000-18,000
Scovilles should add some pleasant spice to your dishes.
Awesome.
 
How many seeds did you test? Remember to label your
propagator next time  :rofl:
 
I'm assuming an indoor grow for these?
 
 
 
Yes it's an indoor grow. Not sure it's going to work out though... it's at a south facing window but the room is unheated.

I think I put about 20 seeds of each variety in the soil. From the one variety several germinated. From the other variety none sofar...

Gee, I hope the other pops for you. Maybe it's one of
those that takes 8 weeks to germinate!  Just kidding  ;)
 
If your room is unheated, why not use a seed starter
mat or heating pad or something similar under the
plants to keep the roots warm.
