quick question about growing different seeds. I have some chocolate habanero seeds i have been waiting to germinate since i planted them on 4/8. I bought the seeds from a reputable dealer online. I then planted some Orange Habanero seeds i harvested from ingles (our local grocery store) on 4/18.
So my habanero seeds from ingles started to germinate today which is one week later. Does anyone know why these seeds would sprout so much faster fresh out of the pod? Do Ingles peppers use the same steroids as Mark McGuire? I am a total noob at all this fun but didnt find any related posts searching the forum except one about the fact that germinating harvested seeds from the store will work. I also planted Yellow Bell peppers harvested from a store bought on 4/8 and they germinated like crazy.
On 4/8 i planted Yellow Bell peppers, Chocolate Habanero, Bhut Jolokia. (yellow bells from Ingles, rest of seeds from online source)
On 4/18 i planted Orange Habaneros and here they are starting to germinate already. These pics bellow taken today (Left Chocholate Habs, Right Bhut Jolokia, Top and bottom Purple Jalapeno, Dead Center Orange Habanero. White cup yellow bell)
The Orange Habs poking out (5 pellets under the marker)
The Yellow Bells and Purple Jalapenos that have already been transplanted (Bells left, PJs right, Superhots on windowsill)
