First Timer, First Glog

Started Carolina Reapers, Sepia Serpents, Habaneros, Yellow Scotch Bonnets, and Big Jims on 1/29.

After only one week, I had enough germination to get the started seeds into the tray on 2/6.

As of yesterday evening (3 weeks and 5 days), all reapers have come up, nearly all habaneros, all but a couple SB, the last couple of Serpents are punching through, and the last couple of Big Jims are punching as well.  Several of the plants have their first leaves.  Some of them are curling at the edges and one of the SBs has dark veins.  I guess it is all going well up to this point.  I just gave them their first taste of fertilizer last night.  If you guys see any deficiencies please let me know.  Thanks.

Your heat mat thermostat is fancy!

Its actually a cheap PID controller I had laying around from a previous project. After the swings settled it controls the temperature +/- 1°F. Wife had an extra heating pad that she sleeps with so it was better than buying a mat and controller.

Good stuff here, are the sepia pepperjoes freebies? I have some going as well and would like to see how yours turn out!

Yes! Those and the Big Jims were both freebies from Pepper Joes.  The Serpents were slowest to come up but I got 4/5 to germinate and now all 4 are punching through the soil.  I'll make sure I get photos as I post updates.

I was thinking the same thing!

"'I'll make sure I get photos as I post updatesI"

4 weeks from very beginning at beginning of germ via wet paper towel method.

 

[LSUtigers]

Still regulating within a degree or two and will come in handy during cold front next week.

Nice round of seedlings.

I just used straight Black Gold Seedling Mix.

I think that I've been over watering so I am backing off to water every 3 days and wait until surface dries a bit more.

Once you know the roots are to the bottom of the pot you can really hold off on water. Once they are in their own pots I pick them up to see how light they are. I shoot for almost bone dry lol. But I have 450+ plants, so once a good portion are dry I usually water the majority of them.

Luck to you, Weezy-Anna! Looks great from just north of the tundra!

Almost through week 5 from beginning germ. The reapers seem to be the healthiest. They must be getting the right light because they arent leggy at all. The habaneros have yellow tips though and Im not sure what to make of that. The Sepia Serpents are by far the slowest.

Can't speak on the habs, but for me the reapers are definitely out-doing the sepia, sepia were also slower to germ. my sepia aren't tooo slow though.
