Biquinhos are one of my favorite peppers

Biquinhos are one of my favorite peppers.

I'd say they are easy to grow, but I do find the chinense family like a little more heat and time to germinate than other peppers. I have however grown them successfully in hydroponics, raised beds, and this year in 3 gallon grow bags inside a kiddy pool holding a shallow layer of nutrient water. Picking can also get tedious as they fruit are blueberry ish in size.

The flavor reminds me of atomic fireballs (candy) - all the heat is up front, and there really isn't all that much. I do think red biquinhos are slightly sweeter though.

The red Biquinho pepper has a beautiful smokey taste for seasoning. Yellow just brings a bit more heat.

Can't figure it out is it me or the seeds

Have always had solid germination with MI Gardner pepper seeds however this variety showed poor germination only 1 of 10 seeds germinated making it 10% germination
