this is my first year trying to grow peppers. i have learned so much from so many difrent posts on this site. i have gotten free seeds from some of the people on hear. thanks to every one.
my first batch off seeds have started to grow i have seven pods trinidad scorpions aj lemon drops and bhutjalokias.
used a heat mat to get them going put them in my window and put a small jumpstart light on them.
I started off by just puting some seeds from one of the pods i was going to eat in a container. was not even serious abought growing them figured they would not grow
wattered then every couple of days. them one day i seen green.
after reading the article on the grow tech section about lights and looking around i figured it was time to get some thing a little better then my small starter unit.
so i bought a 400W HID light. way more light then i though it was going to put out. ended up lighting up most of my house not so great at 5am
when my wife is sleeping.
so it was off to home depot to try to fix my problem.
oh and thanks for the the members who warnded me that light was set up a little to close to my light and that they might get burned. raised my light up ashigh as it would go.
temp is running around 80. now the question i have for every one is how many hours should i have light on for. is there such thing as over kill
