Yep the paper towel has dried out; it needs to be kept moist at all times.  You could try potting up one or two but it's unlikely they will survive.

  I'd be more worried if they were growing quickly.  I've not heard of tiger skin as a variety of pepper but if it's the annuum species then yes, it will grow much more quickly than carolina reapers.  That's why a lot of growers start superhots quite a bit earlier than annuums.

  Something perhaps you need to know about me is that I am a compulsive hoarder and have extreme difficulty throwing anything away.  I often say I will bin chilli plants and very rarely do it.  Anyway, these haven't germinated yet so they might not even grow.   Speaking of things not...

I think I’ve been misled about Havana Gold.  I’ve seen it described as “all the habanero flavour but only half the heat” as also is Trinidad Perfume.  So I assumed it was a chinense.  However, having sown it, I’ve now looked it up online and although the pictures vary from pale yellow to deep...

Yesterday I sowed my second batch of seeds; another eight varieties.  One baccatum and the rest are chinenses: Aji Guyana Rush F2 Bhut Jolokia Peach Bhut Jolokia White Black Cayman Havana Gold Matthew Arthur SB (red) TFM SB Plus another one I can't remember!  It may be Peach Fatalii.  ...

We have lift-off. First signs of life last night. This morning all four SB MoA WHP X seeds are sprouting plus a couple of ChilliWilly's Red and possibly also a Yellow. If I can find them, I'll post photos of those pods in the hope of getting them identified. (The person who sent them to me...

Before I start following your glog, can I just check whether you are actually a nazi sympathiser?  The nazi kitten as your avatar is disturbing.  

Every morning and every night (and sometimes in between too) I peek into the box looking for signs of life.  There are none.     Grow, you little sods seeds, grow!   Problem is that I'm going away in a couple of weeks' time so I want to get them pricked out before then, otherwise if they...

I'm starting chinense now. Was planning baccatums for mid Jan but I'm going away so it will be early Feb.  Basically in between chinenses and annuums.  Some of the baccatums take so long to ripen that I'd like to start them earlier but I don't have the room.  Compared with chinenses the...

Nothing has germinated. Must be duff seeds.

Bro??? Do you mean sis?

I really dont have room for so many myself, either. Some varieties I only have a couple of seeds, which are several years old, so most likely they will not germinate. Might as well sow them and see.

Thanks! I have a couple of your bonnets earmarked for the next batch, all being well.

2019 season under way. First seeds in to soak: Manzano orange 7 pot BBG red 7 pot BBG white SB MoA WHP X Uber Fatalii White Lightning ChilliWillys Red ChilliWillys Yellow 7 and 8 are 35 and 36 on the list in my first post.

In my experience it's normal for most Reaper flowers to drop even after hand pollinating.  It's not the most productive of peppers, at least for me.  You might find though that all of a sudden the pods start to set and then you'll get quite a few.  The plant will keep flowering so you'll...

OMG Gary that is a huge, huge list!  Good luck with your grow.

Made some chilli choc drops which are absolutely yummy.  I was given a chocolate advent calendar which has single-origin high cocoa solid dark chocolate in it.  I think Ecuadorian but I may be wrong.  Supposedly very high quality but honestly it's so bitter that it's inedible.  So I melted it...

  It has a legal definition so you really mustn't use it then.  I like the idea but you don't need to say Ltd to get that across.  And like I say, I absolutely love the look of the parcels and contents.

That gift box looks absolutely stunning.  Anyone would be thrilled to receive it, I'm sure.   Have you actually set up a limited company?
