We like our chilli seeds to germinate under the 'Snow moon' which is the last full moon of winter in the Northern hemisphere. They are kept at 28degC until they germinate.

February 21st - Standing tall!

First seed the germinate this year is a Trindad Moruga Scorpion

February 23rd - Today, I counted 20 seedlings!

And a second Trinidad Scorpion has emerged. What an impressive amount of chlorophyl for only a few hours of light.. It's almost green!

March 22nd - A month has gone by and the little fellas are doing great!

The tray top left are the Dragons Breath, which had a 100% germination success!

It's hard to imagine the terror these will be capable of!

Super excited about these.
