Nice. I have a few from last year that are starting to bloom. Also finally just got some seeds of a few other hot pepper types started. Only a few months late. Hopefully they'll produce some before the sun drops behind that huge redwood tree.

Currently growing: Aleppo, Urfa Biber, Goat Weed, Aji Amarillo, Habanero, and Albanian Red Hot.

I was trying to grow Aji Pena from seeds a redditor friend send me but no look getting the seeds to germinate normally, I'm gonna have to try the paper towel method.

I've been starting with the paper towel method for years. Once they show they're viable, transplant to 6 packs or whatever you use for new seedlings.

They're fairly resilient on the paper towel as long as you keep them wet. Have had some get an inch tall on paper towel before transplanting to soil.

The Aji Pena is pretty mild, Maybe it takes more time? The hotter peppers seem to take longer to germinate. Have had some pop within two days. Carolina Reapers took almost 5 weeks to pop.

Everything hot peppers. Forums, sales, discussions, pics, etc.

I just use the peat pucks, but wet them with colloidal silver to make sure no bacteria or fungi hinder them.
