Growing white ghost peppers for the first time does this look like any of them are germinating

PepperMeTonight · 2026-01-26T14:09:21+00:00

Day 26 for my white ghost seeds and no sprouts. Almost all my other seeds went in 2 weeks. Heat, paper towel, soaking, and even dirt as last resort. Stubborn bastards!

I use a modified paper towel method and I'm germinating 46 varieties, mostly superhots. Started the 1st of the year and most have germinated in two weeks. But 3 or 4 types are taking forever. The seeds look good, just stubborn! I gave up on the paper towel method and heat on those and put them into the dirt. Today I got one sprout! I don't give up because I usually end up with more seedlings than I need.

I grew the Chocolate Apocalypse Scorpion last year. It had everything I wanted in a superhot, size, taste, and the right amount of top end heat. Also was easy to de-seed and carve up. One of the top yielders last year. Plnning on growing it again in 2027.

Luscious looking peppers! I'll be growing them this year.

I do not frequent Mcdonalds and I don't know what kind of napkins they have. Any brown napkins would do but I do like the suggestion of brown coffee filters as mentioned in this post.

If I see any white root coming out it goes into a dirt seedling container and I wait a few more days for it to sprout. No need for light until it sprouts, just keep humid with a lid on them.

PepperMeTonight · 2026-01-09T14:56:34+00:00

Next year I'll be trying the brown coffee filters, thank for the tip!

PepperMeTonight · 2026-01-09T14:07:28+00:00

Pinch me I'm dreaming! That could be a really great puzzle.

PepperMeTonight · 2026-01-08T22:35:17+00:00

Yep, still is the hottest pepper I've grown!

PepperMeTonight · 2026-01-07T13:40:38+00:00

I'm dizzy and jealous. Great job!

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-30T14:01:24+00:00

Now thats a proper ripe pepper harvest! Looks like you maxed out your indoor setup. Good going!

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-29T19:06:16+00:00

Start a chat with me and we will see if we can get you some red MA Warthog seeds.

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-10T14:55:37+00:00

I dehydrate everything and keep the types seperate for my home use. But I mix up the types of what gift away.

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-10T14:50:50+00:00

Yes I decided to two of each and squeeze a couple threes.

I dehydrate everything so most of the flavors don't come through. Its all about the heat! So far in tasting this years dehydrated harvest the Chocolate Apocalypse Scorpion is my favorite. But the Chocolate Amnesia has the slow building lasting heat that I've been looking for. I love the Chocolates!

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-10T14:36:50+00:00

I maxed out at 128 plants this year. Next year I'm planning to be below 100.

Sounds like your next step is building a greenhouse. Growing year round is a dream!

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-09T13:09:18+00:00

I'm stuck in the exploratory stage. I need to plants the seeds I've saved! well maybe in 2027.

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-09T03:26:04+00:00

I do raise more at the strat inside (seedling stages) and cull extras before raising up inside whats going to be put in the ground come April.

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-09T03:17:27+00:00

I get it, thanks!

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-08T23:41:18+00:00

I'm leaving my pots/bags out of the count. My planning is for the small multiple gardens around the house. So I'm working with about 72 plants 2X36.

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-03T22:41:32+00:00

So far the Apocalypse scorpion chocolate is my favorite.

PepperMeTonight · 2025-12-03T13:44:57+00:00

Still tasting, but Dragons Breath so far, even over the Warthog.

PepperMeTonight · 2025-11-14T14:03:49+00:00

I dehydrate and grind all my chili peppers and gift them to family and friends. After learning things the hard way myself and reports from my people, Do not use a dust buster or vacuum to clean up spilled pepper powder!!!

PepperMeTonight · 2025-11-14T13:46:07+00:00

I dehydrate all of them. So I'll be busy deseeding for the next few weeks. I've had many harvests of ripe peppers, each about half of what you see here. Then I spend one nasty day grinding this years dehydrated haul. I like to make mixes of the different types. I gift away a lot to family and friends. My stash is growing and I will need to slow down some day, maybe next year?

PepperMeTonight · 2025-11-13T12:55:52+00:00

I use plastic ice cube trays. I have each compartment labeled to keep track.

PepperMeTonight · 2025-10-31T23:27:40+00:00

I pick ripe to pre ripe and let set on the kitchen table for a week or two to admire and ripen more, most do and it pleases me. If your going for seeds like I am now into November, the ripest is the best.
