Chillies no show

[Scarlet]

I think Scarlet meant chillies don't need light to germinate. I agree with everyone else - they won't be warm enough on the windowsill. Ideally they should have a temp between 20 - 30^oC. Once they're up, give them as much light as possible.

Yes, I did...I tried to edit my post but I couldn't do it!
Italics arent working too well either...best use bold?

Don't give up yet. Peppers and chillies can be very slow to germinate especially if you haven't got them at a constant temperature in a propagator. I sowed 6 pepper seeds on 11th February. 2 germinated within 2 weeks, another several days later, and I'm still waiting for the remaining 3 to appear.

Just to add to this, one of the 3 seeds that hadn't germinated is just breaking the compost this morning, exactly 1 month after sowing. No sign of the other 2 yet.

One lot of superhots took six weeks to germinate

Most of my Trinidad perfume took 2 months to germinate even in a heated propegator.

I had some Serrano come up in just 7 days, with 100% germination.
Maybe you haven't been lucky or it's an old batch of seeds.

I lost the seedlings in the feline accident, and don't have room or time to re-sow. But I have got some spare Serrano seeds as part of my giveaway if you or anybody else would like some.

I fried/baked my first sowings, Cayennes are doing well on second sowing and I note a couple of Sweet Peppers are sprouting too, still no Jalepeno or Lemon Drops yet though.
