Began 2013 yesterday morning. 12 hour soak seed soak in potassium nitrate and H202 (diluted) in ice trays. Kept warm on heat mats. Mix is Promix BX with a lot of perlite added. Pre-moistened, then put in 72 cell 6 pack flats and bottom watered on heat mat to fully wet mix with Actinovate, kelp, Biotamax--a sliver--then drained, aerated with fork, then back to mats to await seeds. Lost a few seeds as I'm handier with turkey baster (obviously from seeds left in bulb when clean-up) when it's used for Q or turkey, but have plenty of viable seeds. Trying to prevent damping off. Seeds from Chris, Jamie (Romy6), Ed, Judy (pepperlover.com), peppergal, peppermania, Baker Creek, Trade Winds, Tomato Grower's Supply, My Patriot Supply . . . and my own saved. Now to prevent damping off. Have ordered Pyrethrin to go with Actinovate, lots of fans, soil temps were 85 this morning when wood stove was dying, restoked, back up to 90F, soil temps (sorry, no pic), as while carrying in wood in our ice and snow/ice storm yesterday morning, I fell. Sorta fell. Falling would have hurt less: why do we try to stop the inevitable? This is my first grow of superhots, so please, any suggestions?! Lemme know, please. Right now the domes are on again, but will be slanting them off in a couple days, if not sooner, and always, flats get 20 minutes fresh air in morning. (Freezing but fresh air <grin>.)
Lights and mylar box--other side of shelving unit is large white sheet (and I know the mylar is crinkled). Also there's some diluted Clorox gunk am gonna get off, but for now, I like the idea of diluted Clorox gunk.
Other side lights: fans
Thanks to so many helpful members here. I hope these seeds hook, live long, prosper, aka do not damp-off. Updates, I hope
. Peace, Annie

. The important thing is that Daddy LOVED it. He called me after they got back from my brothers to tell me how much he loved that chicken and "Them banana things." My brother called me to ask me why I didn't tell him that Daddy said he wanted chicken: "He hardly ate any ribs over here! Kept talking about those 'banana things' you made." Me: "Yeah, he hoovered on tostones. Really need to learn to make those, bro; I told you he LIKED them!" Moihaha. Sibling rivalry is oft a wonderful thing. Esp. when ya brother can't believe his father would actually like tostones. 
) Mama taught me to never use sex or money as a "weapon withdrawn" but she sorta fixed up my father with food, from time to time. He came home late one night, out w/the boys, drinkin.' She'd gotten some recipe for Beef Stroganoff and it was messed up! Or she was hipping a baby after working all day, keeping my other brothers from killing one another, helping me with homework and she got distracted: stuff cleaned her pot really well, however. But before that, Daddy came in, half-drunk or fully so, and ate the stuff. Little later Daddy said, "Honey, my stomach's about to kill me; do you think it'z that dish you made? Did it make the kids sick?" My mother: "Surely you don't think I'd let my children eat something like that!" Hmm 
But we uh, sadly can't grow plantains. (And yes; my father did ask if they'd grow around here. smh--just unusual for a guy who's eaten the same thing for this long to suddenly crave something new: I like it!)
(as well, for my mother).
