Thanks again for the replies. I had no idea that adding a fan would have that much impact on the plants. I'll be replacing the bulbs and adding a fan soon.

I'm growing a mix of hot peppers and bell peppers that are approximately 3 weeks old. The peppers are kept under my 2' fluorescent grow light. I place my tray on a box to help lift them up to get optimum light. I live in NC, and the weather has been preety warm lately. If the weather keeps...

Looks pretty cool. I'm jealous!

Thanks for all the advice. Now I've got a few ideas and options floating around in my head. I'll probably head to Lowes this weekend and get some supplies. :cool:

I just ordered about 100 seeds of different varieties and I'm going to attempt to germinate them. I do not have any grow lights or a heating mat. I'd appreciate any help on the best way to get the highest germination rate. Are heating pads and lights necessary? Thanks for any advice! :)
