This will be my first grow from seeds. I live in Alaska and it’s -1 outside right now. More importantly, we only have about 6 hours of sunlight right now and the sun we do have is so low in the sky it looks like sunset! I’m going to grow indoors and attempt to bring the plants to fruit all inside…
My grow setup: I have a 6 tube T5 4’ fixture that has 6500K bulbs that will put out 30,000 lumens. I also have a 2’x4’x84” grow tent set up. I have a thermometer inside the tent and without the lights on, it's hovering around 73 degrees. I have a 50 pod root shooter in a seedling tray with a plastic dome with a heating pad.
My grow list: I’m going to start out by only growing two peppers for now given the size of my tent. I’ll start a second grow with a lot more types later in the spring when I can move them outside to take advantage of the crazy amount of sunlight we get in the summer.
I’ve planted 25 yellow scotch bonnets from baker creek heirloom seed company and 25 camino real. I’m unsure about this whole process and not sure about the % of the seeds that will germinate so I figure as they mature I may lose some? Who knows, but I’ll be posting frequent updates to this grow log so check back… thanks for reading!
Here is the first shot of the grow log... my seeds in the root shooter
