Poor germination

14 years ago

Question for anyone with experience...

I'm starting my seeds indoors for the 2nd year, and it seems that a few varieties just won't germinate. I'm at about the 2 1/2 week mark, and virtually all of my tomatoes are doing great, and a couple pepper varieties are doing well. However, only 1/12 of my black cherry tomatoes has sprouted, 0/12 of my jimmy nardello peppers (which I was really excited about), and 0/12 of my mini red bell peppers. Meanwhile, my other tomato and pepper varieties I had 90-100% germination. Temps inside have hovered between 68-72, and I moisten the soil every other day. Today I decided to set the unsprouted seeds in the sunlight for some extra heat. Think it will help, or is it more likely that the seed is bad?
