I'm looking into grown hot peppers. Some of those can take like 90 days to germ. I think I'm just gonna order plants and have them shipped. I would rather pay $8 a plant and clone it instead of paying $2 and staring at a jiffy pellet for 3 months saying "come on."

I hear ya man. Thought it would be fun To start some banana seeds but now they are sitting in the corner of the flower room. Time will I suppose.

Too bad you can't buy a pink banana plant and transplant it

Yeah if they had them I would have ordered some. They had other banana plants but I like to try growing the more obscure stuff so I went with the pink which was only available in seed form. I am going to order some live plants from them tho. Dragon fruit and hardy kiwi probably. There's a dwarf pomegranate but it says "small ornamental fruit" so I'm assuming not edible. Or maybe just not worth eating Cuz they're small? Idk I'm on the fence still with that one.

I planted a bunch of dwarf cavandish banana seeds well over a month ago now and still havent seen any spouts.. I had them under cfls to begin, now I have them under my hps hoping the high intensity will help out.. coffee seeds too, those are a fuckin bitch lol.. been waiting like 4-5 months so far for them, still nothing..

I planted a bunch pink banana seeds last year and never did get even a single one to sprout. A friend recommended a process called fermentation but i have yet to do much research on the subject.
Also they can take several months to sprout so i guess just be patient. A heat mat may help if you have one. I don't.

dang man, i was hoping they would come on up for you. I would love to grow some of that stuff, but my growing season is just to short, unless i wanted to tent them. I would love some tropical citrus. However, Recently my wife made a funny that I thought I would share. We were at the local garden store, getting ready for the spring planting and one of the guys walks up and says, "little early for growing still isnt it? growing season doesnt start for awhile now." well i just kinda looked at the dude, like wth is growing season? ever hear of starting plants? before I could smart off, my wife chimes in and says "well its always growing season at our house, and shoots me a look. I almost fell over and died right there in the seed isle.
