seeds Slow Germination?

[Isaac]

I planted my seeds about a week and a half ago and nothing has popped yet.

Soil has been kept wet but not damp
Inside a mini greenhouse + warm temps outside 90+

Are they just being stubborn?

10 days is typical. Wait another couple days and I'm sure those lil guys will surface.

Yes they take a while and also depending on the seeds some have a percentage of success of germ. as others have a low percentage of germ.

and depending what your growing or what kind cause, bhuts & etc sometimes take a good min to germ.

wait like a week more...

Some can take up to 2 months man. Keep waiting.

Alright thanks everyone I'll give them a month and a half and if nothing i'll just start over haha!

 

[OROZCONLECHE]

yea mine took 1 month give them some time, if not Put some New Ones in the same Soil, maybe they will come up later on

Patience is a virtue in chile growing.........

amen to that Willard...

Valin...IMO if your seeds don't germinate and produce hooks within 2 weeks, you are either doing something not optimum for germination or you got bad seeds....

you really want constant temps for germination (80-86F is optimum)...after they germinate and start growing, temperature variations have less impact...NOTE: If the temperature of your soil/seeds get above 94 or 95F and stay there for a pretty good while, your seeds will cook and not germinate at all...

just out of curiosity, are you using peat pucks to start your seeds in?

 

[robisc]

What type of seeds are they, this makes a big difference on the length of germination?

 

[Isaac]

@ Jack - No I am not using peat pellets I am using a soil with pearlite,castings,etc and the soil temp stays around 82. Thermometer comes in handy there haha!

@Rob - All superhots
