These are great sauce peppers. They are as hot as any habanero, and the plants really put out. The yellow even generates more peppers. I like the yellow a little better taste wise, but they are only Tabasco heat. These are fun. I get most of my pepper seeds from Jim Duffy, these days. I always get what I order, and Jim always sends two or three extra packets of seeds to try. Unfortunately, most of those are too big for the AG.  |

Thanks for posting the picture and heat level. It helps me to understand and anticipate watching your crop grow.

I'm afraid there may be a problem with these. There is no sign of germination after two weeks. Plus, there is an algae problem. A green tinge to the water. Also, when I rubbed the tip of my finger on a sponge, I got a green slime on my finger. There is a slight green tinge to the yellows on the other side, but they all produced seedlings. I'm going to give them a few more days.

Oh no. Well lets hope they come thru. Have you seen the thread about no nuted until they grow some to avoid algae? Maybe try that  |

No, I haven't read that yet, but I will. As a matter of fact I restarted with 2 seeds per pod, no nutes.

One week after the second planting of these seeds with no signs of germination as of yet. I need to start thinking of something else to grow here.

Sometimes my pepper seeds take 10 days to germinate. They are always about 3 days slower than my tomatoes.
Can you stand waiting a couple more days?  |

I always give them at least two weeks. I will decide Sunday.

That is a shame. Will you contact the vendor to let them know? Maybe they will give you new seeds or replace with a different variety?

Wouldn't you know it. Sunday I decided to scrap the reds after two weeks with no germination. It was the second try with these seeds. I just removed the domes and labels and let that side set until I made my mind up on which to re-plant. Here it is, three days later at 17 0r 18 days, and this is what I found after work. They were due for nutes on Monday. I gave them 16 ml. I guess we'll give them another try.  |

OK, what am I supposed to do with this turkey? The water looks good, but the deck looks like it is full of algae. And just one plant on a farm?  |
