I've never grown peppers before. I've always been fascinated with hot things though, so finally I ordered some seeds off the internet. I'm going to attempt to grow:
- Carolina Reaper
- Chocolate Trinidad Moruga
- Habanero
I like to make things hard on myself so I'm not going to use sterile starting mix or much fertilizer. Natural growing conditions only![Icon Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
That being said I would like some advice. I've got a lot of questions.
- How much sun do the seedlings need starting out? It is already pretty warm here in NC(It will be over 65 for the next 5 days and it is colder then normal this year) and I don't have any really sunny windows, no south facing ones on my house. Should I stick them outside in semi-shade for a part of the day?
- I'm going to be sticking them in my sunny garden. At what size should I move them from a pot to the garden? What's the hardening off routine?
- What daytime/nighttime temps do they need?
- Do they like full direct sun?
Thanks very much in advance if you can answer any of this.
I'm making this thread because I have very much enjoyed reading other grow threads, and I want to have a record of growth. I'll post here once they sprout.
