• Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
    Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
    Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

No, it does not. the seeds germinate quickly if you know what you're doing. never germinated C. chinense?
ive germinated many C chinese. But from fresh seeds straight out of a pod. couple days bam.

dried seeds are different then fresh ones.

I bought a batch of seeds last March from hippy ( hot cherry, butch t, hungarian black and something else that I forget) and I also got 0% germination on all my seeds. I use the moist paper towel in a ziploc method. I talked to them about it and they said they had no other complaints and we both wrote it off as a f-up on my part. So I ordered another batch of seeds from them in June and got 100% germination. I planted 4 butch Ts late in june just to see if they would sprout and was amazed when they had a 1" taproot in 6 days! Using the exact same method as the first trial.

I always thought that my seeds probably froze due to the temps in my area in March, hence me ordering again in June. I wonder if the seeds could freeze in the plane when they are mailed over from AUS? I am still a satisfied THSC customer and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.
 
My first order from Neil came through crushed, he promptly sent replacements, I had a poor germination rate myself, the ones that sprouted took 2 weeks, after a month I gave up on the rest. I recycled the soil and now I have some peppers coming up next to basil!!! LOL
 
Hello all , i have ordered many different varieties from neil.... bhuts jolokia , butch t scorps tabasco and all have been about 90 % germ rate..
But for some reason i have had 3 lots of hab and fatali seeds and not 1 has germinated , the hippy seed company has always been perfect to deal with.
i just put some more choc hab and fatali seeds in jiffy pellets on a heat mat , so i got my fingers crossed this time.

Keeping fingers crossed for a long period of time will cause "cramps"...........Ha

Be patient, different species germinate at various rates

I still have seeds left over from Hippy from last season......they'll get used up this year.....

no concern with the sprouts, my concern is what to do with the extra plants...
