Growing Tips:

Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm weather. Plant in sterile media, cover 1/4" deep, and maintain 85°F soil temperature. Keep moist with bright light for best germination (7-21 days). Transplant when seedlings have 6 true leaves, spacing 30" apart in rich soil or 5-gallon containers. For even bigger harvests, pinch off early blooms to encourage more chile production later.
