Ok I took the leap and transplanted the most heathy plants I had to larger Jiffy Pots and drop the lights right on to of them, alot of the plants with yellow leaves were pretty much root bound so maybe this will help. Ed

Thanks for all the responses, it sounds like using a jiffy cube wasn't the best idea, when I transplant should I remove them from the starter media or plant the whole deal right into the soil? Ed

Sorry guys this picture is a couple of weeks old i have sine dropped the lights right on top of the seedlings and thinned them out, here are some pics i took today: Thanks again for any help. Ed

I have the seedlings in the 72 space trays, they are planted in a peat type substance I'm sorry I can't recall the name right now. They are under florusent(sp) lights about 14 hours a day and watered every other day. I have not used any fertilizer on them yet. Here is picture of my setup...

Hi, some of leaves on my seedlings are turning a yellow color could this be due to the lights being too close? I'll try to take some pics tomorrow. Thanks Ed

AJ, I am concerned that the plants will outgrow the light setup, really the question is if I cut them back a little more will it affect the long term growth of the plant:?: Ed

Mike kind of the same story here, I planted these and others late in the season tried to overwinter them all in the garage but the killer cold came (10-20 degrees) and these four are all I could save. They have been growing well with direct sunlight but I decided to go with the grow lights...

Hi all, I have a quick overwinter question. As you can see from the pictures my overwinter pepper plants are doing pretty well: My question is it ok to continue to trim them back until I can plant them outside, sometime around mid April? I am concerned that they will out grow the...

Thanks Thanks all for the advice, I have lowered the lights and will thin the seedlings out this weekend. Pepper Sprouts, hummm. Ed

Hi all, well I didn't use a fish tank to start my seedlings, here is a couple of pictures of what I have: I'm growing 9 differant types of hot peppers and some tomatoes and sweet peppers and they all have started to germinate. Thank god:) My question is at what point do I remove the heat...

After How about after they get started? I was thinking of a couple of 10 gal fish tanks with the light hoods to hold the trays and provide light. Would this work OK?

Yes that sounds like what I have, a real suprise packet huh:rolleyes:. Oh well I guess we'll see what I end up with next year. i brought the plants into the garage last night and it was a good thing because we had a lite frost last night and they are calling for a heavy frost tonight. Thanks...

I don't have the packet anymore but it might be totally tomatoes. The plants have been grown in containers from the begining, I'm pretty sure that I will have a hard time keeping the garage above 50 degrees, I am working on the wife to find a spot in the house...wish me luck;). Ed

Hi thanks for the response, they were in a seed packet marked mixed peppers. There are several small peppers on a couple of the plants but they are all differant. The bad news is the weather is now in the high 50s low 60s during the day and the 40s at night so I'm pretty sure that I won't...

Hi all, first post this is a great site. I have a couple of questions that I thought maybe someone here could answer. The first is I planted these late in the season and they are just flowering and showing pods, however I don't know what kind of peppers they are can anyone help? The second...
