Thanks for all the replies. Yes, my pepper plants receive FULL sun all day. They just can't seem to handle the exposure and heat. My neighbor has his peppers planted in the shade and they're looking awesome. My tomato plants, planted right beside the peppers, are doing awesome and look...

My green bell peppers were doing so well...Until the temperatures reached 95+. It's been miserably hot here in Arkansas with virtually no rain for the past month. My habaneros were also doing so well. Now, my bell peppers plants have practically stopped producing and the peppers that is has...

Sounds good. I'll be lowering mine. I think mine is about 75 watts so it should be all good! Thanks!

How many inches do you place your fluorescent light(s) over your sprouts? I've got some broccoli and okra that's sprouted within 3 days of planting and I'm waiting on the peppers to emerge. I've got my fluorescent light about 2ft. above my plants. Is that too far away?

Ok, I'm a newbie, but why is everyone trying to start their pepper plants from seeds already? It'll be at least late April to early May before I even think about planting my seeds outdoors. If you start them this early they will reach full maturation before you can even transplant them...

Thanks for the info. I'm a novice at this stuff so I'm going to look for this heated greenhouse in a store. Another question. How big, in inches, do you let the plants get before transplanting them outside?

Nice setup! Any idea where I can get a heating tray like you've got?

Anyone soak their pepper seeds before planting them? Opinions, ideas? Thanks

Hey bruddah! I spent 7yrs. at Schofield. Great memories!

I'm interested in starting some habanero's & bhut jolokia's indoors. I've got the seeds, but I need soil. Anyone have any recommendations? I went to Wal-Mart & they stated that potting soil was out of season & they wouldn't have any in stock for a while. I'm considering going to Lowe's or...

Another stake question - Do you put the stake in when trying to germinate the seeds or do you wait until the plant gets a certain size?

I'm new here, sooooo is it necessary to stake pepper plants? Thanks.

Hey Scott, I enjoy reading your blog. :)

My guide to choosing an excellent Tequila is ensuring that it's produced from 100% De Agave (translated - It's made exclusively with the blue agave plant). Cuervo is acceptable (had plenty of it in college) and is alright to mix drinks with, but once I became a self proclaimed fine connoisseur...
