Hot chilis started
Today, I began soaking some chili pepper seeds in 6.0 pHed 100 ppm gibberillan R/O water. Generally from hottest to mildest,
- bin jolokia
- bhut jolokia
- naga jolokia
- Red Savina
- chocolate habanero
- Jamaican yellow Scotch bonnet
- orange habanero from Summer Habiscus
- Burpee orange habanero
- red habanero
- tepin
- Cayenne long slim
- Punjab
They will soak for a day after which I'll place them on paper towels in plastic containers. Hot chili peppers can take a lot longer than bell peppers to germinate. Out of the 12 tepin seeds I placed in paper towels 25 days ago, only two have sprouted.
