I always figure a minimum of 2 weeks for peppers to sprout. My experience
has also been that the hotter the pepper, the slower to germinate. The bells
and ancho/anaheim types come up first (and most vigorously), followed by the
jalapeno, cayenne, and Habanero types. Waiting 3 weeks is not uncommon. I
always use bottom heat and try to maintain as evenly moist an atmosphere as
possible. Gro-domes can help.

I think it's been 5 days. How long should I wait?
