I am in College Station, and I have heard there is a lot of salt in the water; it is most definitely soft water. I will check the PH on the tap water, I will also switch to the Brita filtered water until I get the PH checked. I labeled the pepper. Thanks for all the help!

I have not moved them in weeks, when I fertilized last week I did use filtered water from my Brita pitcher. I will use lake water once they are moved outside.

The lights have been on continuously, and the last week I have put them in the sun at lunch and brought them in at night. I fertilized once with Miracle Grow at 1/2 strength since they sprouted and once this week at 1/4 strength. I think I overwatered. And I am sure there is too much salt in...

Current photo, my tomatoes are doing far better than my peppers under the same conditions. I am not sure about the yellowing of my peppers, over watering, too much light, insufficient nutrients, salt in the tap water?????????????

I picked up some Burpee Supergrow Pellets and put them in Dixie cups tonight. I have Purple Jap's, Black Cobra, Bulgarian Carrot, Lumbre, Yellow Manzano and Orange/Yellow Manzono. Any comments on the yellow seedlings above?

I can stop by Home Depot and possibly Lowes tonight. I posted a picture of the seedlings, I am pretty disappointed in my results so far.

I have heard of coco coir on the forum but have not researched it. This is my second year for a garden and second year germinating seed inside early in the year so I am open to different and better methods.

Many of my seedlings did not survive, they sprouted and then withered away. I don’t have any Bhuts, Red Savina or other Habanero’s and lost a few others I can’t remember. I think I have time to germinate a few more seeds and get them in the ground by the end of March. I put several varieties...

I planted most all my seeds during spring break last year, around the middle of March and did okay. Can I start muliple batches of peppers and plant mid-March, beginning of April and mid-April and better utilize the season? How about getting through the intense heat of July/August? Would...

Those sound cool, I would like to try a few! David Wilkinson 16474 Riva Ridge College Station, TX 77845 Thanks, David

I updated my list at the top, I still have time to start a few more varieties for this season :D

Honestly, I did not think of that...any drawbacks to letting them grow together?

I added a yard of topsoil to the raised beds and turned it over along with the mushroom mulch. I will turn it over a few more times before planting. Planted so far: Lumbre from Hatch Aji Cereza Billy Biker Bhut Jolokia Yellow 7 Pod Red Savina Jalapeno M Tabasco Planted these tonight...

Sounds good, I can probably separate some and snip others. Here are the cups I have moved off the heat pad and under the lights. They are all mixed up but I have: Bhut J, Red Savina, Lumbre, Hot Cherry, Tabasco, Y7P, Jap M, Jap Billy Biker, Better Boy, Big Boy and Cherry tomatoes. Most of these...

Initially I was thinking I should plant 2-3 seeds per 3 oz Dixie cup and now I have 2-3 cute little gems in each cup. Should I try to separate them or just snip the slow growers?

Cody, How old are the plants? SV

I received an envelope Saturday from Mister_Al, a pack of Fatali's and a surprise, a pack of Scotch Bonnet Orange and Purple Jalapeno! Thanks Alan...

I was thinking the lake water would be better but thought it would smart to ask. There are no outboard motors allowed on the lake but the storm system drains into the lake so any oil or gas from the neighborhood roads will end up on the lake. I do not believe it will be a problem since the...

Howdy! I live on a small private lake, the water is semi-clear to light green, decent vegetation and supports a healthy black bass, redear, crappie and green sunfish population. Our county water system supplies what appears to be soft water, like after washing your hands they feel slippery...

I went home for lunch and could not resist peeking under the cardboard box, two Bhut's are poking their heads through the soil. I moved them straight over to the lights as suggested on the forum. I also received Tabasco seeds from Judy, thanks again!
