i use neptunes harvest fish emulsion and seaweed extract however this year i have been used composted chicken manure and i am like OMG i have already picked two batches of peppers and about to pick about a bushel of beans and tomatoes
i use humidity covers but take them off as soon as i see the first seedling break through as for your light .... plants are like people they need some dark time as well give them 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark .....
yes i use fish emulsion and liguid seaweed extract mixed together and it seems like just when my plants need them they start getting stressed out like they are telling me FEED ME LOL I also use the pro mix and this stuff is wonderful !!! i also stay away from the chemical and man made growth...
those propaganda mats are worth there weight in gold i would not even try to germinate my own seeds with out one, i like mine so much i bought another one i case the other one decides to take a dump on me
i am glad everything turned out good for you, i live in Indiana and i had pepper plants uprooted tomato plants uprooted lost about 15 limbs out of a huge oak tree in our back yard and lost some shigles to beat all... damn i live 900 miles from the coast and i get this,,,,,, you was one lucky man...
lol i am not really sure but it wont be enough for me i love cayenne pepper powder , flakes etc.... i put it on everything almost every meal i am using it you should tried it on a peanut butter and butter sandwhich damn good
I gave half of them to a good freind of mine who is going to make him a Rastra as i already have two made that is already drying looks great too....to me they look like little red flames in the photos
I am not sure but that looks like an Ant Lion Goole or Yahoo Image search to be sure but that is what it looks like to me http://www.kenseamedia.com/encyclopedia/aaa/ant_lion2.htm
