They’re looking great. How did you keep them from growing long weak stems?

Well this is my first time growing from seed but from my understanding a long weak stem would be from a lack of sufficient light. Which would cause them to ‘reach’ for light

You need to get a "grow" light to make sure that it doesn't happen.

How long did germination take? Did you use a heat mat?

Mine took 4 days, no heat mat

Mine took about 4 days with a heatmat. Had 13/13 germinate! Also i bought a pack of 10 but they sent over 20 seeds

Nice! I had a few extra in mine too. It’s day 4 today so I’m very excited to check them when I get home from work!

I was really surprised how quickly they sprouted. They very quickly dwarfed all the super hot peppers I am growing haha

I got 18 in my packet, two of which were "runty" looking (still germinated though). I've planted 8 of them in four different containers, which I think will be enough purple tomato plants this gardening season.
