Here is a real cheap method, been around a long time..
Make a cup of tea, any kind..
Let it steep for about 4 min.
Drink or dump it.
Make another cup of tea using same tea bag.
Let this steep for another 4 or 5 min.
Mix this cup with water to make a qt/L.
Cut a piece of paper towel so that it folds in 1/2 and fits on a
plate/saucer.
Open the towel up and place 1/2 on plate, Moisten with tea. Add seeds, fold
over top 1/2, Make sure towel is damp.
Place another plate/saucer on top of this and place in fridge overnight.
Plant seeds next day/night.
If on a heat mat, most seedlings will emerge in 3 to 5 days.
Chilitipens listed to start in 3 to 5 weeks, will start in 7 to 10 days.
My germination rate is in the high 90% range.
