my seeds thank you for the replies.... what i'm after...i have "fresh" seeds from these peppers and am starting a small green house in my basement. What should I do? Let them dry 1st, or simply plant them? I have the lighting, soild, etc. This is the information I am after. Thank you.

Will the seeds of the colored green, red & yellow bell pepper seeds (from the grocery pack) grow into "productive" producing plants? thank you

hello... ...I'm simply experimenting, as davetaylor is with growing his peppers with the same type lighting. i'm having fun, as i love hobbies (like i don't have anything better to do....hehehe) i will post pic's with the results. this will be a controlled air/soil temp environment. Most likely...

lts were discounted at $7 ea. normally $14 plastic cover is the color. lt is just a normal LED. the entire string pulls something like 2.4 watts.

led's for sure. the covers are colored plastic.

pics continued....

I did not want to further hi-jack davetaylors thread, nor is this a competition. Just giving further ideas and pics of what is possibly a cheaper solution to the higher price of stronger wattage LED grow panels...an experiment. My panels are 18" X 24" plexiglas from menards and the led strings...

mine pop out, in some places and i plan to glue the colored piece in place. this pieces slides in and out, seperate of led, if replacement is "ever" required. i busted up some plexi glass having too tight of fit...not worth it for what we're trying to do here. (in my opinion) I'm creating a...

lights, plexiglass, drillbit Hi. Update on the lts....menards sku for blue is 284-0933, red is 284-0934. They are $7 a box and most likely are being put up in the rafters until next xmas. They might pull them down for you if you call ahead. I bought 18" X 24" plexiglass ($6 per sheet)and...

ok, couldn't tell by the pic how long your board was. apparently yours is around 16". i'm just trying to figure out how many strings of lights to get to do around a 4' X 6' size. This give me a pretty good idea. Thank you.

thank you. i'll be getting a sheet of plexiglass for my mounting. i also discovered an old waterbed heater, that I'll rig for tray heat. should work out well. i also read where several have used a heating blanket; of course properly protected, should also work very well and "much" less expensive...

K. I'll go with 2 inches. Menards did have some when I got there. 23' strand for $7.00. Thx

what is the dimensions you use not sure i read it if you said, but how big is your board of lights? also how closely spaced are the lts? i'm thinking of making one, and incorporate the reds at the same time. thx for any info.

discounted LED xmas lights Stop by your local menards. They are extremely inexpensive at this time and they have plenty left-overs.
