    Yeah They are moist, I'm using the paper towel method. They are in 75..85f temp.. I know they can be stubborn, but ive wasted 6 damn weeks, if I knew this I would have started them in January. My jalapeño, and golden. Nugget have made an appearance. They will all end up on the compost heap...

    Maybe I'm just unlucky. It's been nearly 3 weeks, no germination. My jalapeños, and golden nugget have given me something. The rest I'm going to wait till the weather gets warmer and I'm going to shuck all the seeds on the compost heap, maybe then they will germinate.. It's been a waste...

    Hi welder Yes your right, but I guess 21c us as good a target as any .

    Hi welder So are we saying 32..37 is the target temp.... So what I take from that is.. Higher means more seed success. Faster means faster growth but maybe less plants... 21 seems a better target.
