well in the past i found seed starting tough. plants get to stringy and fall over. this time i retried it. got some b-hut jolokia seeds from ebay and had to grow them. there the worlds hottest pepper now at 1,000,000 + scovilles. i also got some african fatili pepper seeds and had some scotch bonnet habenaro and texas chili pequin dried that billy " texas select " sent me last year. i peat potted them. out of 25 3 didnt sprout. and i put the plant light on em sonn after they popped open. there about 4" tall and firm now. looking good.
i hate it but now ive got roma tomato seeds and serreno. i just put them it peat pots today. hope they turn as good. this is a little cheaper than buying plants but i just had bad experiences in the past. the first batch i have in 5oz plastic cups with a whole in bottom in potting soil. the roots were just making thier way from the peat pots.
most hot peppers need heat to germinate. i sat them behind out houses wood stove. probably 80-90 back there all the time. they did well.
any one seed thier own inside early? what types of fertilizer is best for fragile seedlings? to early for rabbit poop?:0a36:
