Its been some time since my last update, so here is my progress so far. Here is a pic from this morning before I transplanted the tomatoes. Here you can see the Brandywine Red tomato plants and some of my Cayennes on the bottom left. Now all the tomato plants have been transplanted. I...

I just came back from making the rounds of all the chain stores here in Montreal. They all have the new small Promix bags, I think there's three or four versions, sold at 6.99$. The only place I found Promix BX and HP was at Reno-Depot in Anjou, i'm gonna guess all their stores probably carry...

I was also thinking about going the Promix way. Would it be a good idea of mixing some compost with it and do something like 50-50 or 2/3 Promix and 1/3 compost. And I haven't looked online yet, but what is the differences between the Promix HP and BX.

The tallest of the tomato seedlings is just over 2" witch I will probably pot up this week end or next week. I'm not too concerned about the amount of light the peppers get. They already have priority placement under the the LED and about three days ago I started to give them some Sun exposure...

Unfortunately the forecasts have snow again this week. :(

Day 11 update. So far 37 out of 50 Cayennes have sprouted. On the left and top right you have my Brandywine Red tomatoes. Cayennes are on the right.

OK this is a tip for noobs like me. When planting your seeds, make sure your soil fills the trays' cells completely. This will make it easier for the surface of the soil to dry faster after waterings, therefore less chance of damping off. You can see in my pictures, the soil is not all the way...

First Cayenne peppers leaves of the first season!!! And I have 29 sprouts so far. The tomatoes are still going strong.

Thanks for sharing RJ. As one of the first timers, I look forward to learn from you and the other experienced members of the forum. As far as my memories are concern, for me I remember my grandfather's garden where he grew tomatoes, cucumbers, peas and beans. That's probably where my sudden...

Here are my first pepper sprouts EVER!! I am very excited, especially because I count a total of 17 sprouts so far.

Thanks! Right now I have 12 seeds that broke the soil surface. I can say I am already hooked. You are the first on the forum to get the reference! :clap:

I already just put the domes on at night and I have a fan blowing wind on my tray so it helps drying the top of my soil to avoid damping off The first Cayenne sprout appeared a couple of hours ago!!!!!!

Now temperature might be an issue, because I don't have a heating mat, but tonight I will put the Cayenne tray in the oven with the light on. The LED light doesn't put off any heat at all.

Bien oui je parle français! Je te souhaite une bonne saison! Ici on a encore de la neige :(.

Looking good Mich! You have the ultimate balcony gardening setup. I love it.
