Sweet and Hot Pepper Germination Failure
Grow log by Shawn · Original thread
What you can learnA clear failure diary illustrating how repeated seed and cultivar substitutions may still fail when germination quality is poor.
Useful practices
- waiting before feeding very small seedlings
- adding replacement seeds to failed pods
- changing varieties after repeated germination failure
- ending an unproductive garden rather than continuing indefinitely
Problems encountered
- very slow or absent germination
- seedlings stalling after emergence
- replacement pepper seeds also failing

Today is nutes day which I am passing on as the one pepper is still small. The other two have not germinated yet.
In checking the seeds the Jalamundo stalled and the other two are doing nada. Maybe it is the vendor or the seeds, who knows. However I have a new plan and seeds I will be planting IF there is nothing new by Sunday. More on this later.
These are being ended today. The one that was doing well stopped ans the other two are not germinating. I have something else in mind to grow.
I am really excited about the new project. The peppers are like eye candy!
I'm sorry it didn't work out. Good luck on the new project.
No worries. They all wont work but I will keep trying

They are beautiful peppers. I might be able to handle the Real Deal. I'll just read your review of the Haberno Red.

Such big promise in a tiny seedling!
Update #2
Awwww. Sweet new little babies are here!
Today is Add Nutes Day but I am passing since nothing is really happening. I did add one seed to the two non-germinating pods. WIll see what happens before I decide what to do.

The White Lakes sound beautiful and delicious. And that Farm!!!
I do not know how all will fair but I am trying none the less.
Just remember, they WANT to live! They are a lot more resiliant than we give them credit for.
Nothing that I can tell YET but what I can see is that the seeds are softening.
That's progress! Crossing my fingers for you!
None of the seeds are doing anything at all. I may add another seed in the pod. Tomorrow will be one week.mike, do you think I should throw another seed in each of the pods or wait a little longer?
Pepper seeds typically take 10-14 days to sprout. I'd wait longer.
Thanks mike. If nothing by the next feeding I will replant seeds.
I need to look at what plant this is but one of the three has a root coming out the seed. I THINK it is the Farmers Market but I need to double check my template.
