Germ same as weed seeds, but use a fingernail file to score the seeds, just a little. Germ at 80 degrees, water/spray mist also 80 degrees. At my local grocery store, there is about 15 different types of dried peppers. All of these can be used to grow. When I make Tamales, I use 5 different peppers for the sauce, the Piquines I pick wild. Stay out of Home Depot for a potential grower. Check out web sites for Peppers, and have a blast, Dude.

Germ

I have just thrown some into wet rockwool , then dome and they germ fine. I use a 6500k 200W cfl for germ/vegging of peppers until bigger and leafy then switch to hps for flowering cycle.

I am growing bell peppers, cayenne, jalopeno, serrano and about to start growing poblano and habanero, and want to order some bhut jolokia's!

Also growing oregano and tomatoes all with my weed! Once they take too much, outside they go in the ever growing patch!
