What varieties y'all growing? I'm doing a low heat cultivar of scotch bonnet this year. May add a aji sweet pepper later.

I’ll be starting some within the next couple of weeks. Currently planning on doing cayenne, jalapeño, shishito, and marconi.
That may change, but that’s where I stand at the moment.

Started mine a few weeks ago. Infused some of my honey harvest with peppers this season and it was a big hit. Started some Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Chocolate Primotalli, Thors Thunderbolt, and 7 Pot Cinder. I’m overwintering my Habenaro plants. Hopefully that works out.

I came to love these after this past year
Thanks for this thread as I didn't realize I need to get going this early on this

I waited too late last year and the plants just weren't mature enough to thrive in time. This year decided to start late December to have a strong group of plants ready to pot by mid April.

What is soil of choice for planting seeds
Posted on 12/30/23 at 2:48 pm to Bayou
I'm going to start my peppers, maters and eggplant next week.
I always trouble with the peppers because of the temps. When it's really cold I put them on top of the kitchen cabinets where the heater blows. I tried in a tupperware with incandescent lights, but that did not work.
I gotta figure something out.

Looking for some advice on starting from seeds.
Generally, what is your process in starting, maintaining, and transplanting?

The ideal soil is a seed starting soil. The seedlings do not need soil nutrients early. Everything they need is in the seed pod so you want the cleanest soil possible.

Do you already have a grow light and warming seed trays?

Still waiting to harvest my jalapenos and serranos. Serrano's are still putting out flowers.

Last year I had chocolate 7pot, thors hammer and habanero. Was doing well then something started eating the peppers. Like little bites. It wasn’t slugs, or squirrels, but it destroyed my crop to the point I was losing 70% of my weekly harvest and didn’t have enough peppers to make more than a few bottles of fermented sauce. Anyone else have any suspicions?

We did some of these last year and they were fantastic, def doing more this year.
I haven't started any yet, but do have about 15 tomato plants in my hydrogarden that are sprouting. will keep indoors until post frost.

Oh damn, I need to try this.
What kind of peppers did you use?

Habs, Reapers, Ghost. My first batch was waaaay too hot, but you can dial it back by adding more honey. I don’t have a recipe, but this video is how I learned:

I do know if it makes a difference but I warm the honey up in bottling tank before pouring on to the peppers.

Do you soak the pepper seeds in water first?
Do pepper seeds need a certain temperature to sprout?

Update: all of my bonnets failed to germinate. 20 or so seeds, kept warm and moist. Total duds.
Started over 8 days ago with aji mango seeds and first one sprouted today.
I do not use the paper towel method and I do keep soil temp at a consistent 80-90 degrees and covered by a humidity dome. Water with a spray bottle but not to the point of soaking the soil completely.

Anybody got any updates?
I've got 4 scotch bonnets and 3 aji mango that I just up potted into solo cups. Culled all the ones that were weak/slow.
