Chillies

[Moss]

I have tried growing a range of chillies but have never made it past germination. I'm not sure if the seeds I was given were dud or I just suck at germinating them. I'm about to buy a heating mat from the local nursery to see if it makes any difference.... then if that works I'll put them under my HPS setup.

 

Life's not right without a few million scovilles and a melted toilet.

Hey Moss, chilli seeds need to stay fairly warm to germinate so the heat mat is a good idea. Also, alot of chilli varieties take a long time to germinate ,some can take a month or more, so dont give up on em if they havnt sprouted in a week or two....

Thanks Devilspine!

I gave them about 3 weeks however I was not using a heatmat and it was pretty cold at the time. Just realised that my old reptile house makes a pretty good germination box with heat pads etc so am trying it again

Hi D-spine, I had a couple of beautiful Thai, orange habenero, jalapeno and cayenne all cruising nicely until it started raining big around 2yrs ago. just sat it water that couldn

t get away too long-organic soil outdorrs though. Building up some bed over wintr and am looking forward to having my ready chilli supply againthis year! I prefer the mildly hot varieties ie jalapeno thai, cayenne.I want to get ahold ofo some dimkum northern mexico varieties (originally from soCal) like Poblano, and learn how to smoke them and stuff (like smoked chillies ) not the habaneros but-burnt the ring too mouch.....

look forward to making some salsa with them!
