Very high Germination rate with good strong healthy plants
OK I should really hold out till I've had a fully mature chilli of one of the plants but can update later on.1st off. I sowed 12 seeds with an expectation of a low yield as in my (very limited) experience the hotter the chilli, the lower the yield. Out of 12 I got 10 seedlings of which two were a bit weak and got given away. So off to a good start. Haven't got lots of room so all but one have been planted out doors and it being the UK don't have high expectations of them producing pods but let's see. Be nice to be proved wrong 😀.2nd - As I said, I kept one odours in the conservatory. This has grown quite big in a short period of time and are yielding a lot of flowers. This where it comes apart a bit. Lots of flowers but also lots of flower drop (flowers falling off and not fruiting). Did a bit research and apparently these are well known for it and getting them to fruit early on is very difficult. Having read up and taken lots of advice I am now starting to see some pods forming and early signs are that these are of the Naga variety so hopefully these are the real deal. (See my review on the Carolina Reaper that definitely is not a Carolina Reaper)So purely based on germination rate and growth rate I am giving these a 5 star review but 3 on taste as I have no idea until I try a mature pod. That will be amended accordingly once I do tast a mature pod

Not impressed
I’m an experienced gardener and these seeds are not germinating. Poor stock, not worth the purchase. It’ll serve me right for straying from my usual nursery to purchase.

Germinating
I have used 2 methods to germinate the seeds.1. As you do, plant the seedlings into soil.2. Putting seedlings in between a moist/wet kitchen towel, into a sealable sandwich bag and left in a warm room.I have found 1. has worked best, all the seeds have sprouted in around a week. 2. is taking a little slower, only a few of the seeds have germinated. I will be updating this review further down the line!I still recommend splitting the seeds and using both methods.

Good germination rate
I doubled up the seeds in case of low germination but didn’t need to (as per the right hand cells in the photo).I’m looking forward to the plants fruiting now!

Ok 👍🏻
Seemed to take nearly 2 weeks to germinate even in a nice warm greenhouse but so far we have 15 out of 20 up so happy with that 👍🏻

... 100% success with 3 Chilli plants now coming on nicely in my tent
3 seeds germinated so far - 100% success with 3 Chilli plants now coming on nicely in my tent. Will dry them out when ready for some summer barbecue fun. Next up is to start some more in the greenhouse this month.Only 4 stars so far as they haven't been taste/heat tested yet.
