I've planted some pepper seeds (not the sweet variant but the ones that are used in making chili powder
The average temperature during the day will approximately be 34/35°C
How long will it take for them to germinate?

Generally, the hotter the pepper the longer it takes for the seed to germinate but 5 to 10 days is pretty typical.

I've had some older pepper seeds take about 20 days. I didn't think they were going to come up.

Update
So some of them started germinating (took them about 10+days)
I'm also trying out another method to make them germinate faster than the usual drop them in the dirt method
I'll post an update if that works better than the soil method

By soaking the seeds in water 24 hrs prior to planting in soil, you can significantly speed up the process. 4 days is about average for my pepper seeds to germinate after 24 hr soaking.

I'm trying out the soaking method
I've placed down a couple of the seeds over a tissue paper/paper towel and then covered them up
Then I sprayed them with water enough to moisten the paper towel and placed them in a relatively dark area of my house
