I mean I try to grow Rocoto. I have zero germination in almost 3 weeks now. This sucks, my Jalapeno germinated in 3 days, and the non-rocoto from the same vendor germinated fine.

The Aji Amarillo is insanely tall, and it's just the cotyledons, it's twice the height of the other peppers, I have bad feelings about this pepper.
That's almost normal for Rocoto. A month+ is not unusual, stick with it. My Amarillo are some of the most vigorous of the bunch as well. Twice the size of some of the other types.
