Optimized for Capsicum annuum
4 Golden Rules for High Germination:
- Consistent Bottom Heat: Pepper seeds (especially superhots) will stall or rot in cold soil below 72°F. Maintain warmth 24/7 until emergence.
- Damp, Not Waterlogged: Medium should feel like a wrung-out sponge. Excessive water depletes oxygen and causes damping off.
- Dome Removal: As soon as 50% of hooks emerge, vent or remove the humidity dome and place seedlings under intense grow lights (14-16 hrs/day).
- Gentle Air Circulation: Run an oscillating fan on low to strengthen seedling stems and discourage fungal gnats or mold.
