I wasn't planning on starting a grow thread until I had something worth photographing and talking about etc, but I walked into a nice surprise this evening so... Here goes. 
(No pics yet though, not until it really is worth taking pictures of. Seedlings are seedlings, and there are only 2 of em).
I ordered the following from Hippy Seed Co. and they were delivered 2 weeks or so ago.
Aji Lemon
Bonda Ma Jacques
Yellow 7pod
Bhut Jolokia
Orange Habanero
Trinidad Perfume
Last week I soaked them overnight, and the next day put them into Coconut pellets that had been watered with a really light superthrive/hygrzyme/rhizotonic mix and stuck them under the heating dome.
The only reason I even looked today is I needed to make sure they were still damp. Low and behold, I've got one Aji Lemon, and one Yellow 7pod already sprouted. That's the fastest I've had pepper seeds sprout. Usually I've had to wait a full 3-5 weeks for them to pop when using straight water and pellets.
Once they are ready they will be transferred into Dixie cups, and depending on how they do and how the weather goes they will maybe be potted up one time, or from there they will go outside into my garden patch once last frost passes.
With as many seeds as I have planted There will be some overflow into the other planters if a majority successfully germinates.
How far apart should I keep the different types from each other once outside if I want a good chance of getting non crossed seeds out of them for next year incase over-wintering doesn't work as well for these as it does for my Thai's?
