Starting Marbles Pepper from Seed

[lily51]

This is the first year I am trying to start Marbles peppers from seeds. I've started many different types of peppers, sweet to hot, bell, horn, ornamental. They all take a while to germinate, but once germination starts they grow fast.

These Marbles are testing my patience....
show no signs of germination yet. Doing everything as I have with other peppers which have always been successful.
Any suggestions?

I've never grown them. What I've read sounds like they are a bit slower germinating and growing than regular peppers (13 -16 days to germination). How long have yours been planted? Are they on heat mats?

[lily51]

Heat yes, 2 weeks since sewn. Oh well, they'll be my challenge for the year.

If all is well, they should be showing themselves in the next few days, then. Best Wishes!

When they sprout, post to let us know. Thanks
