Hello everybody and welcome to my first grow log! I live in the city and I don't have any land so I'm stuck growing in buckets wherever I can. Last year was my first attempt at growing peppers which resulted in some success. This year I'm taking a giant leap and starting from seeds and growing a ton of plants. I have no idea where I'll have room once I have full grown plants.
I started some seeds in small plastic shot glasses on top of coffee filters and didn't get much action out of the seeds. I moved them to here:
My pepper-lovin' girlfriend, lellie1o1, bought me a great 72 cell container/germination station with a lid and a heat mat. Soil is Espona Organic Seed Starter. I bought a small clip light with a 60w CFL natural white bulb. I know the light isn't sufficient, but I have 3 roommates that I needed to split the energy costs with. I'd feel bad having a large rig. I just keep it on all the time and switch it back and forth to either side of the dome.
lellie1o1 and I carefully seeded each cell with two seeds just because we had a ton of seeds and wanted to be sure we had enough plants in the end. It's been three weeks since I started germinating and almost two weeks in soil.

Why so many Mystery seeds? I'd like to see what grows the best in this climate, even if I don't know exactly what kind of plant it is. Most of the mystery seeds sprouted early so I'm thinking they're annuums.
Here's the spectacular chart lellie1o1 drew beautifully.
Here's hopin' it pays off!

If you think you can positively identify an unknown pepper, please let don't be shy. Thanks!
