So I've Been putting this off for awhile becasue I'm a horrible procrastinator (with growing you always have to wait for tomorrow). This has been my fist pepper grow from seed and it's been a alot of fun. I will only have two updates. One, to show how I got my peppers growing. One to show what I have at the end of the year. I know two updates are not a true glog, but I will appreciate any input, advise or critique from a great community of pepper growers.
The List: Most seeds from Pepperlover and a couple from Pepper Joe. A few from myself. Seeds Were palnted Feb 1. I ended up with four of each plant.
Serrano
Bhut Jolokia
Tabasco
Chocolate Habenero
White Habenero
Dorset Naga
7 Pod Brown
Yellow Brain Strain
Red Brain Strain
Trinidad Moruga
Trinidad Douglah
Trinidad Butch-T
Carolina Reaper
Giant Jalapeneo
7 Pod Primo
Brief Overview
I didn't soak my seeds in water. I just put them into soaked peat moss pellets which were in my 72 cell seed tray and humidity dome (80f with my heat mat). With my homemade grow box I used two T8 6500k fluorescents. As soon as the seedlings shed there shells I put them uncovered under the lights. Next I potted up into solo cups and 5x5 pots with plain sunshine mix soil and added perlite. After thant I began useing alaska 5-1-1 as directed. Once I had them hardend off (April), I put
