I have a general question, I tossed a bunch of Cosmos this morning because they germinated and were as tall as the cups. Can I plant them as deep as the top of the seedling, so about 1" deep?

I found quite a few threads regarding germinating seeds in condiment cups and rather than bringing up threads from '09, '11 or older I will share some thoughts here. I started in the Rootmaker 32 and 60 cell 10x20's 12/16/22 and I was frustrated with how few seeds germinated and liked the idea...

Thanks for the input, I will get some new varieties ordered!

Sorry about that, this sure was an oldy moldy thread LOL

I have multiple pepper types that have germinated or recently popped up after planting in seed trays. Mostly cherry that I wanted focus on and one or two hatch, a random white habanero and bulgarian carrot. Most of the hatch, fatali, red savina, 7-pod, ghost, t-scorpion and others from seed I...

I started two 32 cell Rootmaker trays on December 16th, mix is coconut, perlite, vermiculite, on heat pads. So far only six sprouts. I decided I want to see what is germinating so I started several ziplock bags with various peppers on a heat mat and a week later decided to switch them all to...

Thanks! I am looking at options now for reflective sides. My girlfriend started annual flowers, to early IMO but I learned from a previous marriage not to argue LOL. She has a lot of varieties that have germinated and are looking good. Soil temps have been high, 80+ with the lights on so I...

I built this 2' x 4' seed rack last Friday and I am getting it ready for this season. One row each of 32 and 60 cell Rootmaker trays and both will be lit with the 8 tube T5 HO Amazon fixtures. I have found that it's too big for our spare bedroom and the garage is full. The last option is the...

I tore down my three raised beds in 2014 in preparation to move to a new place in 2015. I had no plans to garden at my new place until I retire and that is about five years out until I met a great lady last March. Gardening is her thing so I built five new raised bets, three 4x8's and two...

Thanks again!!!

Hey friends, back after a long layoff and have no clue what my prior user name was. Stopped growing around 2014 and moved to a new location in 2015, built a lot of raised beds for my girlfriend and getting ready to start seeds for the spring.

geeme, I am in the B/CS area, but I think my question is misunderstood. If I direct sow in the garden, a seedling generally emerges and does not die in a few days. If I germinate seeds inside, and transplant them as soon as they emerge, they die.

Howdy people! Short story for the beginning of my second year growing peppers with ya'll. I have been swamped at work and I completely forgot to plant my seeds until Spring Break and that is when I should have put my transplants outside! Even after I set up my lights and stand last year...

Take it :D

Here are a few pictures just for fun, it was about 80 degree's last night, today it's about 50.

This plant is a late bloomer and the pods are not terribly hot. They are very thin walled and packed with seeds, I will have to search to see what they might be. I learned a lot this year: I am not very good at container plants...not yet anyway. Nobody in there right mind needs more than...

Howdy Pepper Friends! Sorry for not providing updates but life (family and work) really kept me busy the last few months and I fell behind harvesting pods. I did make it a point to pick the yellow peppers and Habanero's on occasion. Temperatures have been dropping down to the 50's and even...

Yep, I will no longer fear superhot peppers :D

...it is advertised as 7.1 million Scoville units. I stopped in a place called the Jerky Shop or similar near Dallas yesterday. I asked the shop owner about "The Challenge" and he said the challenge was to suck the extract off 1/2 a toothpick and those who did not eat, drink or throw up or...

Silver Surfer ID'd the plant as Goat Weed. The plant is just about dead from lack of water but it did produce about six pods.
