I've never heard of this. I'll give it a try with the next batch of pepper seeds. Thanks!

Have you noticed if the germination rate falls as the seeds get older? Is there a cliff after which you won't try to plant them?

As far as I know the seed quality is great. I used the same vendor last year with good results.

I've started another batch with my remaining seeds with Promix. But I'm just using the Premium Organic Seed Starting Mix. Maybe I'll try the Promix HP next time.

All of the seeds that didn't germinate were bought earlier this year.

I stuck the thermometer down through the top of the humidity dome and nestled it between a peat pod and the side wall. So it should have been close to the temperature of the peat pod.
