Time from plant till sprout.

10 years ago

I planted these seeds on Friday 12/27/2013:

Bhut Orange Copenhagen, Indian Carbon Bhut, Caramel Bhut, 7 Pot Infinity, 7 Pot Primo Yellow, Moruga Scorpion Chocolate, MOA Scotch Bonnet, Carolina Reaper (3 sources), SBJ7, Black Naga, Orange Habanero, 7 Pot Madballz, Bonda Ma Jacques, Trinidad Seasoning, Red Moruga, Yucatan White Habanero, and Jamaican Hot Chocolate.

So far the only thing to sprout is the Yucatan White Habanero. Has anyone else tracked how long it took different varieties to sprout? Feel free to list plant and sprout dates here. It'll be interesting to see how much times vary between setups and temperature. I have a hydrofarms heat mat. I keep the thermostat set to 87 degrees Fahrenheit. It fluctuates between 84 and 87 degrees. I have the seeds in a dome set up.

I always keep track of when I plant and when the seeds sprout. My Thai chiles have sprouted in as little as 3 days...incredibly fast. Other annuums like Hungarian Wax, et cetera, have sprouted in 4 days. The chinenses have sprouted in 6 days (fastest ever), but typically take 9 - 12 days for germination. The outlier is usually day 16 for the superhot chinenses.

I am averaging about 6 gays in paper towel/zip bag. But CASCABEL took almost 12 days to show signs.

I have everything planted in Miracle grow seed starting soil. Once they are big enough, I'll move them into 5-1-1.

so far I've started:

Trinidad Congo
Red Brain Strain
Yellow Brain Strain
7pot Douglah
Scotch Bonnet x 7pot Jonah
Sepia Serpent (choc scorpion x douglah)
Chocolate scorpion
Madballz (choc bhut x yellow 7pot)
Unknown 7pot 1
Unknown 7pot 2
White 7pot
Tiny Tabasco
Thai dragon
Tiny Thai
Yellow Fatalii
Red Devil's Tongue
Yellow Devil's Tongue
Bonda Ma Jacques
Carolina Reaper
Brown moruga
red 7pot primo
Orange primo cross
JayÃ¢ÂÂs peach ghost scorpion
Chocolate naga x brain strain

all but the red & yellow fatalii, the BMJ, douglah, and the tiny thai have sprouted. some came up in 4-5 days, others took upwards of 2 weeks to sprout. but I just have them in peat moss mixed with perlite, sitting in my back yard (it's gotten down to the 40's a few times and I didn't bring them in) so taking a while is no surprise. the carolina reaper came up in 5 days (fastest one yet), followed by the thai dragons which took 6 days. the ones that haven't started might be duds though, it's been at least 2 weeks. so I might have to try to start more.
