Mattys first ever Glog "Into the fire" 2019 season

Hello everyone and thanks for looking at my "Into the Fire" Glog!!
 
So I started my gardening hobby in my early 20's about 16 years ago now, and though I have played around with many types of flowers/vegis  tomato's is what most of my energy was put into. I loved alll the different colors and types that could be grown which really reminds me of all the exciting Chilli variety's that exist today. A couple seasons ago while looking for some info on a particular type of sweet pepper I stumbled onto a few videos of some people eating super hots (Ghost,Reapers ect..).  After looking into it a little more I figured this would be a very interesting thing to grow even just as a novelty since really no one in my area grows much if anything at all.
 
Last Winter I went and bought some seeds from Ebay..one was a mixed bag Ghost/Reaper/Scorpion...another was the Peter Pepper and the third was some type of Thai i believe. Only the Thai ended up growing true to type and the other 2 was a Cayenne and Ornamental. I was pretty disappointed when they did finally start putting out pods. It was around that time I started looking for a group or forum dedicated to Chillis, and luck would have it I found THP and all of you fantastic peoples.
 
Anyways with the boring back story outta the way I really planned ahead for this years grow....I built a 6'Hx6'Lx2'D grow box (not exact mesurments) which has 3 shelves and the middle one able to come out if I wnated to grow larger plants from the bottom tier. I went overkill on seed types making 3 decent size buys, 2 of which were 30+ from Garth at TexasHotPeppers and a smaller one from a fella in Arz.
 
I do not plan to grow all of these as my wife would kill me, but 20 or so might not be so bad.

So would like to see some favorites and suggestions from the fine people here at THP so I can kinda get it down to a much much smaller grow list. Will also get some pics up shortly here of my grow box which still has one more shelf I need to wire up just waiting on a few more strip lights to arrive in the mail, but will still give an idea of what it will all look like when its done.
 
In final: This is a new hobby for me within the hobby I already enjoy...I am going to try some new things (new for me) and even the much earlier starts then normal will be interesting to see how it all comes out at the end.  I look forward to the input from the community and keeping this glog updated as much as I can.
 
Here is too success in 2019!!
 
CHEERS!

I wouldnt worry too much about the temp, I had whole seed tray on it and the soil temp was only 85-90 degrees with it sitting on top of the fridge. No germ issues, but it was beneficial to get the seedlings out quickly after sprout

Interesting thanks....Like I do have a single heat mat but I have used it for years and kind of have a good idea how warm it gets ect....always a tad stressed when doing/using something new

I love the WM peach ghost and jpgs

Patiently waiting for the WM peach to arrive which should be any day now.....I haven't had either but I do rather enjoy the look of both types which is what I have basically based half of my current grow off of so far.  I really try and pay attention to what everyone else says via glogs or whatever which is all I can do with my extremely limited experince.
 
Day 5 update - Well no signs of life as of yet..I turned the lights on just to take the pics but normally have the trays covered withe an older thin blanket during the day, then during the nights I have been taking it off to lower the temps abit.

Almost wondering if I should break out my single heat mat and drop a tray on it as I am more confident with the temps it can maintain since I have used it for a decade now. I am hoping my second set of seeds from Garth arrives today or tomorrow so I can get the last 5-6 types underway as well. I think there may be an issue since they have not shown up as of yet.

Yeah your right Paul its nothing to get excited aboot at this point, I just can't help to worry  just even a tad going into this season for some reason. Reading other Glogs sure isn't helping though I'm not going to lie :eh:
 
! of 2 seeds cards made it to the mail box yesterday...is a few of them on my grow list for this year so will get them into a seed soak this afternoon and into dirt or try this round using the coffee filter germ method. 
 
Photo Disclaimer - I am gonna play around with a few different image hosting sites and see what works best for me so if you see me bouncing around that is why.
