nothing really special,

I plant one seed per cell (1 "1/4d x 1"1/2h)
when they have the second pair of real leaf they go in the cabaret of 21 cell (2"3/4d x 3"1/2h) as on the first picture
I transplant them, buried to the cotyledon. they are still good to stay there for 2-3 weeks

then they go in 4" but deep pot 5"1/2h

last stage just before taking them out to acclimatize 6"1/2d x 7"h

they are under SunBlaster T5HO fluorescent in Berger BM8

there is a peach ghost plant that is 'variegata'
I wonder if he will stay like this and if he will produce pods

day temp outside is still at 32
it would take heat soon,
they start to be cramped in there

Do you know what is causing the leaves to look deformed that way? I've got a handful of seedlings like that can't seem to figure out why

what are you using for soil if I might ask? Those plants look very Happy! Well done my friend!

the middle one is a "chimera" I do not know exactly what cause this I have to investigate..
the one on right has had too much water because I had to leave 3 days so I saturated the ground before I go, it should recover.
I think it's just sick seed, I can have 1/100 that sort of with deformed leave, and I eliminate them because they do not make good plants

edit
look if they have thrips. it may cause upward curling
or broad mite

So, with your huge grow area, how many plants of each type do you grow out?
