Less than a week and we got the first Aji Dulce hook from that green pod
I really wasn鈥檛 expecting anything to happen with these seeds in fact I just ordered Aji Dulce seed from elsewhere last night. It will be year of the Dulce I guess.

It will be interesting to compare aji dulce from 2 different sources. This Aji Dulce my grandmother bought at a Chicago market and is possibly imported from Puerto Rico ( so I'd like to think) but I have a feeling it could very well be from the Dominican Republic that exports more produce from what I understand.
The other Aji Dulce seeds are coming from Texashotpeppers. The pod I had looked identical to the pepper pictured on Thpeppers site for Aji Dulce#1
First time ordering from this company and so far it鈥檚 looking like a good buy.

Seed soaking begins today, mainly Chinense and wild varieties but a couple frutescen and baccatum in there as well. With this many different peppers I need to start a pepper glog for 2023. The plan is let them soak in water for 24hrs then strain and wash in colander then let soak again in fresh water for another 24hr. This process might be over kill but it鈥檚 mainly to get the stubborn wild types to cooperate.
Was excited about Chiltepin from 2 different sources along with amarillo and cappuccino variations, but unfortunately after having decent germination everything "dampened off" and died
First time this has happen to me so not sure exactly where I went wrong.That really stinks, GS. I've had times when germination groups performed poorly despite doing things like every other time. It's made me wonder if somehow some fungus/pathogen/whatever got into the soil and caused trouble, but sometimes you just can't explain it.
Are you putting down more seeds? The positive in this is that you still have lots of time.

I'm thinking the peat moss I'm using in my mix is tainted somehow. Going to use a store bought seedling mix next time around. Yes I plan on starting more seeds but my grow list just got substantially smaller.
How come?

I use SunGro starter mix, always had great results.
I don鈥檛 have any more seeds for most of those varieties I attempted to start, most of which were Chinense. Plus Im done buying pepper seeds for this year because I still have all sorts of stuff in the seed vault. Probably going to shift and focus more on the peppers I use more often in the kitchen and those are mainly annuum. It鈥檒l be fun to dig up some old stock and see what I can get going. Luckily there is still time for me to get it together.

Yes I鈥檝e seen that brand. Pro-mix that I like to use is owned by SunGro or vice-versa. Hope Walmart has this line of products in stock this year.
@Grass Snake, I鈥檝e got seeds I can send you, but none of the varieties you鈥檝e mentioned in this thread. It鈥檇 be mostly Bonnets or superhots. Maybe some C. Pubescens. I think all of my seed stock is from 2018 though. Either way, I鈥檇 be happy to share with you, bro. Just let me know

Mighty generous Mike but I think I鈥檓 good for now. Thanks
If you want to add a few more fig varieties I can send you a few cuttings. Bechnel's Italian Black, LSU Purple and Green Ischia.
