My plant is only 6" now :( Funny, last years contest seeds also was slow, had some left over and their doing the same speed as the YBS, must be the postal mafia messing with the post.

How many did you plant? May have just ended up with a runt, or it could be your soil?
 
Not sure what the problem is then. My YBS seeds all performed well, but I have had a few other varieties do that to me in the past. No matter what you do they just dont want to act right. Could be an environmental thing.

about 12, only one survived, started with a bunch of others and their doing well so the soil etc was standard.

My plants that are in ground stalled out and haven't even made a flower. They don't get much sun though due to poor garden planning
 
Well they got lots of sun and heat.
He looks healthy, hes the guy on the second right, the Ahj Lemon is from last year seed handout, as I said, same thing happened to them, so Posty still suspicious. If the same thing happens next year then I will see it as a mail problem.

Did you get your seeds in the mail when it was very cold? I no longer order seeds between Dec. 1 and March 1, as by my own experiment I found that if pepper seeds freeze , the germination rate goes down considerably and even if they germinate they may be slightly damaged. Several years ago I took 20 of my saved Ghost pepper seeds and split them into two groups of 10. I left 10 as they were and put the other 10 in the freezer for 4 days. I got 8 of the non frozen to germinate but only 3 of the frozen ones germinated. Not a scientific test, but good enough for me. The trailers that transport mail are not heated.
 
Whenever the seeds went out for the Growdown, January ?? Dont recall the temps and im guess it will be a wide range of temps as it crosses the Country.
Could well be the temps, no air conditioning or heating for the postal warehouses/vehicles.

If I may add my 2 cents size matters when it comes to pots. Below are 2 plants sown on the same day, treated exactly the same, same grow medium, except for the container they were planted in:

Note the little plant in the small container. Get them in larger pots and feed the heck out of them ;)
