I'd reinforce the length of the bed at least once. You're gonna have right around 18 cubic feet of soil in there, which will probably weigh around a ton (as in, the literal unit of measurement indicating 2000 pounds - not the colloquial way of saying "a lot") . I can't tell if you have 1 or 2...

I used the wondersoil wafers for starting my seeds this year. I'm not sure how it would fare for a long term growing medium. It worked very well for starting seeds, but at the same time, my plants seemed very happy to be transplanted from that to some amended potting soil. If you're committed to...

  That's awesome! Thanks for the pointer. Much appreciated.

  Thanks for the info!  I really appreciate the help.   And I hope I don't sound really whiny about the whole thing. The bad germ rate wasn't that big of deal, as far as I was concerned. It was their reaction to it that rubbed me the wrong way.

  I considered this, but unlike Burpee, Baker Creek doesn't offer plants, right? If they did, I'd love to do that. But otherwise I'd have to pay Burpee to send plants that should have grown from seed from Baker Creek. Are you saying I should just count the loss and pay to do that, or that Baker...

Here's a picture. Seems that in my early morning stupor yesterday, it seemed worse than it is, as that's not close to black. Still, should I be concerned? For the time being, since it was a lower leaf anyway, I cut it off just to be safe.   http://imgur.com/a/v3yFK

  I contacted them - see my last comment for the details.   Beyond just the concerns I mention there, I still feel pretty strongly that displaying a section called "reviews" but then only allowing glowing recommendations is misleading. It makes it look like people have the chance to say...

  My secondary dilemma is that after contacting them again about this, they've offered to replace the seed, but it's a little late in the season to be starting seed, for me. I'd need to give it a minimum of a week for germination (that's probably pushing my luck, as the Thai's and Red Habs were...

I get that reasoning, but I mentioned in the review that using the same growing media, light, watering, humidity dome, and heat mats, no other seeds had the same issue (or even less than 90% germ rate).

It was a Thai.

Yeah, I mentioned how much I loved the other peppers and tomatoes. And I really did. Just thought it seemed morally sketchy to provide a place for reviews (which ostensibly indicate customer satisfaction or lack thereof) and then only allow reviews that are good.

I ordered most of pepper and tomato seeds from Baker Creek, and I've been very happy with all but one. I posted a review indicating the poor germination rate (3 out of 25, with only 1 of those making it 2 weeks after germination) on their website, and they didn't post it. I asked why, and they...

Thanks!   Yes, the plants are in the basement, but they are by a door and below an air vent, so airflow shouldn't be an issue, I don't think. That said, I'm not entirely sure how much airflow is required. Should I have a fan dedicated to just the plants, or is the moving air from the door...

I started my hot pepper seeds about 6 weeks ago now, and the plants are growing nicely. I'm on a watering schedule of about every 4 days (depends on when the soil seems overly dry and/or plants start to wilt). I watered them all last night, and this morning just one leaf of just one pepper was...
