seeds BBM germination?

alkhall · Feb 23, 2016

My first time growing (I hope) Big Black Mama.

Can anyone with experience tell me how long they normally take to germinate?

juanitos · Feb 23, 2016

same as any other chinense variety 2-14 days normally, up to 30 days if you want to wait that long..

I found mine popped reasonably early compared to other varieties, they got tall quick too... But podding up and flowering was much slower

yeah they pod up late

Thanks for the replies.

Most of my others have hooked, only the BBM and the Cayennes are late.

Maybe another week before I try some other seeds.

Thanks again.

mpicante was kind enough to send me 10 BBM seeds 6 out of 10 seeds germinated in less then 7 days was really surprised .

I got mine from RefiningFireChiles.

I have had great success with Jim's seeds over the last several years, except for Big Sun Habanero last year.

I might have to try another vendor.

So, I did order new seeds from another vendor (which have not arrived yet), and one of the original now is finally hooking, go figure...
