Mine germinated &amp; started out looking like pepper plants, but after 6 wks, the seedling looks, &amp; the stem smells like a tomato plant. Is this normal?

It took a couple of weeks before mine even sprouted. It's been about 6 weeks now, and they are still only about 4" in length. They are still green, tho. Guess that's a good sign.

Now I can state after my first attempt at using these seeds that you may have mixed results from these particular seeds. We started an indoor growing system to sprout the seeds and approximately half of our selected seeds didn't sprout....mainly the tomatoes. At this point we're going to start another batch and see what happens.

Hi Mabel, I don't have the original bag anymore ( what soil I didn't use at the time I put into a resealable bag) so I can't tell you all the ingredients but I can tell you it feels and smell more like compost than potting soil you get with the little while foam in it. At first I wasn't sure about it but the results have been great, several of my plants had fallen on hard times and a few of them were ready to bite the dust but after a day of mixing old and new soil, cleaning pots,re-potting and placing cuttings in just the straight mix ( not mixed in with the old soil ) I've been VERY HAPPY with the results. Some of my plants have tripled in size in the last 4-5 months and cuttings are as full as their parents and living in a Manhattan apartment that's saying a lot. I hope you find this info helpful. RR

Mine literally took like 2 days tops to sprout, it does take awhile to get to the point where they make peppers though! Most peppers are pretty slow growing, my plants are currently about 4 inches tall and they've been growing for over a month now. I suspect another 2 or 3 months until i get peppers.

How long since you received the plant? Maybe provide the plant with some plant food. They also love the sun so maybe your plant isn't getting enough sunlight or too much? You could be potentially over watering or under watering it. I water my plant once a week and it has been growing beautifully.

No. It appears to be some kind of sphagnum product. I found it best to soak them, add the seeds and then insert them into the seed starter.

The seeds look like beans but the vine isn't very bean like. It's a prolific bloomer until frost. Soaking seeds overnight before planting will speed up germination but don't soak longer than overnight or the seeds get mushy and fewer will germinate (voice of experience here)

I don't have any flowers yet but all the leaves are turning red and falling off. I think I have some buds. I have several very short leaveless branches and two very tall shoots and all of these are just about leaveless now. They are advertised to grow good in a sun room or room with lots of light and that is where I have mine. I have tried to get info back from the company as to the condition of my plant and even sent some pics but no response from them as yet. I got mine July 2013 and I sure expected it to look a lot better than it does now. I am concerned that it is dying. Hope you have better luck than I am having!!

I ordered these a couple months ago and they actually look like 4 sticks with each in plastic bag and a little soil. I planted them according to directions given. I put each in a separate 10 inch pot and set them in the sun and they are doing fine. They started sprouting leaves about a week or two after they were planted. Not all of them developed leaves at the same time. Mine have not bloomed but I am sure they will. My sister ordered them about 3 months ago and one of hers has had a little bloom. They do not like to be watered too much so read the instructions. Yes, they are the actual colors that are listed so I marked my pots when I planted them so I can see which ones mature the fastest.

Last year, I put 3 pepper plants in one, which worked out fine. I also put 2 tomato plants in another, as stated in other comment, one at each end. They did OK, and they both grew very large, but I'm doing only one per box this year. The root mass was, I think, too large and they seemed crammed when I took down the plants last year. In the instructions, they give you ideas but also say that it's more trial and error. I think the climate conditions have some influence on your results as well. A family member who lives in Vegas, NV, had poor results because of the extreme heat.

Mine had a slight herbal smell. Try mixing with an essential oil like lavender.

What such a weird mistake! What kind of company is this! Are you sure it's black seed inside? Because it could be Mustard seed or something else!! [http://www.amazon.com/Indus-Organic-Black-Mustard-Seeds/dp/B005U8NMFC/ref=pd_sim_gro_18]. I'd contact the company/Amazon & let them know to see what they have to say about it, or replace you those bottles. Truth to say; they have a good ORGANIC black seed, is the only 1 I'm using myself, it's good quality seed, unless one bottle was strongly moldy smelling, (I will continue buying from them & if the future purchases seem to be good I'll review my feedback to them). Black seed for me is my medicine to my autoimmune disease, but I was never able to get used to its strong bitter taste, I grind it in a special coffee burr machine & fill it out in my vcaps myself, Excellent.
