Seriously? Does anyone actually do that?? The only "extra hot" pepper I've grown is habanero, but I've very rarely had any real problem getting pepper seeds to germinate. The only times that I had a problem i attributed to the fact that it was seed from 2 or 3 years (or more) back and storage conditions were probably not that good...

The other thing I've never understood is, if the seeds are covered with 1/4" of potting mix or whatever, aren't they inherently IN darkness already?

Confused Shrug!
