Apparently soaking the seeds don’t really work for me. The ones that I didn’t soak just went up fine without being soaked and actually went up before the ones I soaked in water.
They’re standing up! =D
I’ve got one habanero seedling standing up so far and three bhut jolokia seedlings up. but one of the bhut jolokia seedlings still has its seed coat stuck on it.
What I did was to cut part of the coat with tweezers to help it along.
Here’s a pic of the one that still has its seed coat stuck:

Here’s the hab:

as you can see with the hab seedling while it was trying to push its way out of the soil it lost half of one of its cotyledons. Which is a bummer, but for now that’s better than not having any seedlings at all. LOL.
Here’s the healthy bhut seedlings that are standing up:


Here’s hoping to keep them alive long enough to get them to fruit!

Nice to see a fellow Pinoy chili-mon(ster).
I’ve heard a lot about these Bhut Jolokias but never had the chance of trying one out, or growing them.
Is there any way I can get seeds from you ?
