This will be my first real attempt at growing from seed (last year, I tried planting some pepper seedlings from Lowe's, directly into the ground, and they just died a pathetic death).
I have 3 cubic yards of Gro-Pro Potting Soil being delivered next Monday, and I'm going to fill 2 5x5 foot raised beds with it:
Will I be able to cram all these plants into those 2 beds? I figure that I can get 16 plants into a 5x5 bed if I leave one foot spacing between the plants and the walls / each other.
I'm currently sprouting the seeds under 2 4-bulb T8 fixtures, with 3 of each type -- one will go into the raised bed, one will go into a Walmart bag and one will be a spare. With a few exceptions, germination rates with a heating mat / thermostat have been quite high, I've been surprised.
I still don't know what I'm going to actually do with all of these peppers -- I can only eat so many of them myself, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. (Maybe I'll make pounds of powder?)
Here's the list, as it currently stands:
