Whew I made it through all 12 pages to get current with this thread. Man you have some sweet looking chilies. Count me in as a new fan of that Purple Flash. As far as the SWC go I have about 8 including 2 Earthbox brands and 6 homemade. I just use a fill tube. Lemme tell ya ALL plants love those...
After I posted the original question I opened th bags all the way and kept them opened. Before I went to work I put the meat thermometer back into one of the peat pods and it read 80*F. So obviously I am gonna have to leave it open if this set up is to remain inside of the house. I can't wait...
So last night I started seeds for Trinidad Douglah, Trinidad Scorpion, Bhut Jolokia and Fatalii in peat pucks. Once sown I put the pucks in sandwich baggies 80% closed. I put all of them on a heat mat on the kitchen counter. This morning I stuck a meat thermometer in one of them and it read...

Thanks roadhouse for the pic. bd1965 I know it's been a mesirable spring. 3 days unil "summer" and at noon I can see my breath outside. I definately have heat envy.
Well since we have been expiriencing cooler and wetter than normal weather and my peppers are in suspended animation, I would like to see pics of all of yall's peppers so far this season. C'mon show off.
