I started My Rocoto Seeds, and my Little Thai’s last night. They are in the Sweaty/Balmy Mini Green House Dome Now on top of my Seed Germination Heat Pad. Hopefully they Come up as well as everything else has for Me. My C. Reapers are GOING Like Wildfire now!
Starting Aji Oro and the nasty brown bhuts first. Picking up a small plastic shelving unit and mylar tomorrow for the warm room. Temps today in the rest of the basement are only 63F and i dont want to mess around with a small space heater.
I got a few in a trade. All i need is a couple plants. As soon as i get some to sprout and look like they will make it i can share some. Just checked to be sure...Not sure if i have even 10 seeds that look really good. I will try getting 4 started this week.
I can ask on thehotpepper forum if you really want some.
To prevent mold on seeds you can use a peroxide and water solution. Rinse seeds after or soak in some plain water to soften the seed. Then plant. You can also use a weak solution to hydrate the jiffy pellets to cut down on mold.
This is why i like the paper towel method. Its very easy to inspect them for mold and sprouting. You are not wasting additional space or cubes either. My oven will stay in the mild 80s with just the oven light on. Any warm spot works like the back top of a refrigerator or even on top of a hot water heater if your basement isnt cold.
