So, after disaster in mid march where I overwatered and killed all my plants (except for 2: THSC Naga 7 and Chocolate Trinidad Scorpion), I began anew.
This time, determined to grow many more peppers than I would ever need.

April 11, 2013:...along with the kids FINE artwork
April 13, 2013: Grow box in the Garage. The two planter trays on the left are the seeds from the first pic. The plastic container on the right was an experiment that didn't go so well.
May 7, 2013: Starting to alternate them with some time outdoors after I come home from work
Sometime about may 14...ish. Took the viable plants and put them in 4' plastic pots. Just wanted Each leaf to get max light and not be crowded out by other nearby plants. (about 60 plants made it here) Bottom watered when necessary.
May 31, 2013: Took the 15 I wanted and put them in 5 gallon Home Depot Buckets. (The two in tomato cages are the survivors from the disaster in march)
Spread them out and added an irrigation system. the 1/2" oly hose is attached to each bucket with a hose clamp. Didn't put the plants on the grass because this is the first time since I moved into thismoneypit house I've had a green lawn. I'd like to look at it once in my life
The remaining 45 went to friends and family....trying to spread the risk in case one location fails for one reason or another. Of course, if they all survive and produce...I'm going to be drowning in peppers since I'm the one with the dehydrator.
