Pepper Hot Tabasco Great Heirloom Vegetable Seeds by Seed Kingdom (30 Seeds)

My seeds are barely on the sprouting stage, so I have not tried any of the peppers yet, but so far they sprouted nicely. I put about 5 or 6 seeds in a small container and set it in the window that gets all day sun. I added some nutrients to the soil, Miracle Grow for vegetables and herbs, and then watered it with warm water every other day. I think within 4 weeks I started to see green leaves popping out of the soil. So far, off to a great start.

I thought maybe I had bad seed, so I ordered these and got the same results. slow germination times (which actually seems to be normal, I don't really have a beef there) and low %.I will be refining my technique next year, but for the price these guys are good.

Germination only took a couple days. Quality seeds. Haven't had any that didn't germinate.

I purchased these seeds at the end of April. The first of May, I planted about 10 pots, 2 seeds to a pot, indoors because we can still get a frost up here in Montana through the end of May. I waited 3 weeks and not one of the seeds sprouted. So the last week of May I planted I planted 20 more seeds. After 15 days, still none sprouted. So I then planted the remaining ~60 seeds. Three weeks later, not one of these seeds have sprouted! I've grown peppers for much of my life, so I know I'm not over or under watering them. Almost all of my jalapeno, bell and banana peppers have sprouted and are thriving in the July heat. Sure wish these tobasco seeds would have, though, because they are my favorite pepper.On a side note, 20 lettuce seeds were included (thanks!) with my order and that's growing pretty well. Not sure whats up with the pepper seeds, but they sure were a waste of time and money.

Most all of the seeds sprouted

Turns out they are just regular old jalapeño.

I planted 70 grow cells, each with 2-3 seeds. All cells have at least 1-3 plants growing in each, they are about 3 inches tall now. Getting these to germinate are all about temperature and moisture and keeping it constant, even during the night.

Ordered two packets of these seeds and it looks like they are going to start growing. Not as many sprouted as I imagined, but I'd say about 20 - 30% did.
