please feel free to let me me if i need to do something else i am a virgin at this so need all the advice i can get. after looking at the different way to germinate i chose the 2 cup method.. weather he is a constant 80-85 degrees very high humidity since we are very close to the coast

these are the seeds i have picked for my first time

i cut slits on two sides of each cup that i will be putting the potting soil

14oz cup with soil two seeds per cup

14oz cup with soil and 16oz cup with water...water is from bottled water and sat for 1 day before using (does it make a difference ?)

put in plastic container ....not all will be in containers like this since i was lucky to get one...rest have wife's Christmas decorations

with lid...saw this somewhere but is it a good idea?

now this is a good idea for a break

wish me luck i think i need it

Looks good to me. Warmth and moisture is all you need to get them goin.

My hab took about a month to even show tail or root to pop out of seed casing.

However, my banana pepper plant took only 7 days. You might find that the Jalep starts shooting from the soil faster.

Ok so i think i am slowly getting there...i am paranoid about over or under watering so i am just trying to do as suggested and keeping everything moist

Jalapenos

Habaneros

i also did a few about a week before i started this thread. i was told at that time from a website that once they had a couple leaves to put them out side...so i did and after 3 days out side they looked like they were dying so i brought them back in....could this be the reason for such a long stem? or is this normal?

once again thanks for any comments

My honest opinion is keep them covered in a dome or a baggy under light until the first true leaves come out from the middle. Those seedling leaves are what is showing right now.

for watering i mist mine with a spray bottle 2-3 sprays a day and keep them in the sun. if they are covered in a bag or half cut bottle a mist is only needed once a week. Just keep the soil moist all the way down not wet.

Definitely need more light. Looking "leggy" for sure.

Introduce them to the sunlight slowly ( look up "hardening off"). If you give them too much sunlight, they'll die very fast !!

Once you get them outside, the water in the soil will evaporate quickly, even in Venezuela

. Keep an eye on them for sure !

Good Luck !

i think i was over watering to start, s now i have been just making sure that the soil is moist. i use a water bottle with a pin hole instead of a mister (until i find a mister)
i haven't watered in about 4 days

thanks Jeff i will look it up
as far as sunlight i am growing in a small 2 story apt we have... lost the windows int he upper floor due to a hurricane last summer(first one i ever heard of down here) i started the seeds on the main floor where there is lots of light but no direct sunlight...today i moved everything to the top story where they will get he morning sun only. so with luck that will do something.

thanks for the advise

will keep posting by the way i have over 125 started

ok here we go..so please tell me if i missed something
