Hello from Florida! I am starting a Glog to document my progress on growing peppers. I bought seeds from Pepper Joe's, Peppers by Mail and rareseeds.com.
I was sprouting these inside on heating mats and humidomes, but decided to take them outside as the temperature and humidity seemed better.
I planted the seeds from Pepper Joe's first. I had poor germination, maybe 10%. I did not like the germination setup, so cannot say much about seed quality. I used miracle gro seeling mix which was horrible. I sprouted them indoors on heat mats. Here are the Pepper Joe's seedlings..
I used Jiffy soil mix for the seeds by Peppers by Mail and rareseeds.com. I used peat pots instead of plastic pots and sprouted them outside under grow lights with no heat mats. Temperatures were 75-85F and humidity high. Germination was much better. I had excellent germination rates on most varieties and will need to thin the seedlings out.
I'm also growing lots of papaya varieties that are starting to germinate!
I'm very excited to find this forum with such a large, active community!
