Where do I go from here. I germinated 4 of my Habaneros. They are cute little 3 cm tall plants. Where do I put them now? Thanks! ;)

Great Vid.... I tried this method soaking them in the Tea for the first time, and had great results.. It really shortened the Germination time, especially with the Super Hot varieties...

why peat free please?

Hi i have just got my first every chillies to grow amazing video i now know i need to buy a propagator. Just a quick question when and how much do you water your seeds (im going to be using the pucks)

Thanks for this great video😀, can I ask what kind of soil or compost mix can I use, this summer I used JL no3, didn't really have much luck on the chillies sadly.

Can I emulate this method in a oven? I reckon, Oven with only the light on temperature at 30°C max, slightly ope door to ventilate, maybe an extra LED lamp inside? What are your thoughts?

Green tea, or...?

Just wondering if you leave the chilis to germinate in hot temperatures constantly or do you have to move them to a cooler spot over night to grow?

I grew my chilli plants by taking seeds out of a chilli and sprinkling them on garden soil, so far I have about 8 plants which are very successful, I'm surprised that it worked though

do you have to make seed shell softer??

Mine get to the point shown at the end of your video, then wilt and die. Any pointers?

What chili pepper type do you think would grow best in very cool, but highly sun drenched area? Am wanting a very hot pepper with low maintenance, high yield, but won't grow too large and take up valuable space. Am a city dweller living in a small, well lit, poorly insulated apartment who wants to make his own hot sauce from scratch. Talkin' from seed to sauce here.

thanks man mine are at about 3 inches in height

FML.....you have the same outro as we do! Be that as it may.....may you please advise on how to create compost for my seeds as well as a DIY propagator

I tried using the tea method using a nice weak British Earl Grey on some Indian Bhut jolokias. For some reason the Indian seeds kept refusing to cooperate with the British tea. Do you think a nice Darjeeling tea would work better?

What percent humidity do you recommend for super hots in a grow room for new seedlings and up to 2 months?

Beautiful video, thank you kindly.

can you do a video on "light". For someone starting out there is so much out there. Just need a little help. Thanks

Very helpful. Thank you.

hi great vid.im thinking of using Jiffys and wondered what size pellet is the best?
