I'm a new grower... and I'm getting really excited. I've got my seeds on the way, i've got a 50 pod Root Shooters tray ready to go, and heating mat ready. I've been reading and researching like crazy, but I'm confused on one part:
It seems as though there are as many ways to get the seeds started as there are colors in the rainbow, whether to soak them, keep them on a paper towel, etc. my question concerns the next step.
I put them in the root shooter, with something over them like a plastic dome or plastic wrap to keep the moisture in... at this point i don't have them under the lights... is that correct?
Once they start to emerge from the dirt, as I understand it I need to get them under the lights... here's the question. i'm going to put a seed in all 50 pods of the root shooter... i can't imagine that all 50, even if they were of the same pepper type would break the dirt at the same time.. what do i do? do i pull the pods that begin to sprout and put them in a different container under the lights?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
