I need some chili help anons.
Sometime around march 22nd (I don't remember exactly) I started my chilis for this year (yeah I know, I'm late, like every year). I primed them and put them in one of those plastic shell greenhouses for seed germination.
The varieties I have are Cayennes, Trinidad Scorpions, Aji Charapita, Striped Sugar Rush and Brown Fatalii. The former 2 are from seeds from last year's plants, the latter 3 are from a store.
Germination on the bought seeds has been all over the place, with the aji charapita having great germination rates, the sugar rush having meh rates and not a single fatalii seed germinating. At least my homemade seeds from last year almost all germinate.
I'm also in germany, apparently where I live is the equivalent of USDA Hardiness zones 8a-8b.
Last frost dates are still almost a month away, so I won't be able to keep the seeds in that mini greenhouse until then, and the seedlings are starting to touch the plastic housing, one or two also don't look too healthy in there anymore, my guess is the humidity is too high for actual plants, it's just good for seeds.
Picrel is the tray, ignore the glue gun sticks, those are just to keep the varieties apart.
What would you say I should do?
Remove the plastic lid, transplant into small bags of soil and keep at room temp? Moving them into their final containers would take up too much time in my flat if kept indoors, and outdoors it's too cold for them to grow. Or keep them in there for a bit longer with the heat mat? The seedlings are big enough to touch the top of the plastic, but they have very small roots still.
