could it be a czech black?

Just curious worlok, how old are your seedlings? Trying to compare to mine.

Riot (capsicum annum) 10 to 12 inch plants with spike shape covered hot peppers that turn from yellow to red.

Well maybe not desperate, but i would really love to get my hands on a few more exotics. Ive got plenty of room to grow and plenty of time invest. In particular i am looking for 7 pot, trinidad scorpion, or some naga morich seeds. Or maybe some other exotics. Sorry but this is all i have to...

thanks Talas. Im not really sure where i can get the first three. The lemon drop grabbed my attention before.

Let me start by saying sorry for not having pics up yet. Hopefully by this weekend i will post progress. I started my peppers on February 28. With tremendous first time success i would say ive had about 85 to 90 percent success rate. Starting with 3 72 cell trays filled with miracle grow...

I didnt get my lights set up soon enough so i have extremely leggy cucumbers, squash, honeydew melon, cauliflower and tomatoes. I know the tomatoes can be buried and saved, but what about the others?

I used jiffy pellets last year. Worked pretty well. Ive just heard different people talking about the cactus blend. It seems too rocky and twiggy to me.

Just curious, what mixes do you all use?

What is a good rule of thumb for watering? Besides disturbing the cells by poking and prodding?

Well, i didnt check it until tonight, and yes. I know your not suppose to over water so i waited to check.

Ok, I started my seeds last saturday i put all my veggies in regular miracle grow seed starter mix, but for my peppers i used the miracle grow cactus blend. All my veggies sprouted in about 3 to 4 days. My peppers? A big fat goose egg. It seems like the cactus blend gets too hard on top. I...

So AJ, you think the miracle grow is a bad idea?

Ok, so i think ive got a setup in mind. I have a secluded small room downstairs where the temp is steady at 84 degrees. i am also using the 72 cell tray. Since the temp is steady, should i leave the dome top off? Also, i am using miracle grow seed starter instead of the pelets.
