I just brought some Bhut Jolokia seeds and I have heard that they are very difficult to germinate.

Can any of the chili gurus give me some tips to make sure my little seeds reach their potential.

My tip would be if you get one to germinate and set fruit, dont eat them :D

Bring that tonsil scorching on!

Thanks Roodog!

I just brought 30 seeds from Chili Bird.

I hope I get a few plants from the seeds.

Thanks Mantis!!

I have A LOT of reptiles so I have a few heat mats and thermostats spare.
I can spare a few for chili propagation.

:laughing3: Now i will put in some serious talk. I bought some seeds from a chili company about 2 years ago. It said to put them in hot water overnight to get them started. I put them in a thermos of hot water overnight. I then put them in those jiffy pots and nutured them inside with no luck. I decided to try it again this year. I just put the seeds straight into small pots of potting mix, bought a cheap plastic green house and kept them lightly watered. :thumbright:
A storm came through and blew down my greenhouse :upset: and ended up with a whole pile of soil and 6 different chili seed varieties spread over my pavers. The seeds were actually starting to germinate. I shoveled all the soil back and salvaged as many seeds as i could find.
I have now 3 out of about 30 seeds now seedlings but I have no idea what sort they are :?:
Will have to wait for them to fruit and knowing my luck they will be all the same chili type!! :dontknow:

Gods!

Sorry to hear that Sea Monkey!

All I need is at least one to germinate, fruit true and hopefully I'll be able to take cuttings.

Oh well heres hoping I get three different types and can save seeds!
The three seedlings are looking strong even though they are only about 1.5 cm in height but im excited. I did put a red ruocoto seed directly in my growbed and it grew up very spindly and had one fruit but it didnt survive. I was surprised it even made it that far. I put the seed on a bit of tissue so it didnt fall to far between the expanded clay balls
