Ok. Just started cleaning up my grow area. Will be starting seeds tomorrow.
Last year was brutal so I am trying some new things this year.
1. No overwinters. I am hoping that in the past, the plants I brought in to overwinter were the source of the many aphids I have battled. I guess the aphids could also be coming in from the soil I purchase, which is either Fox Farms Happy Frog or Miracle-Gro Potting mix. I haven't nuked the soil in the past because we use our microwave for food. If I can get a used microwave, then I might try to nuke the soil first...
2. Airflow. I am going to increase airflow by a bunch. Looking to get a couple more cheap standing fans and have them on blasting the plants for the period of time that the lights are on, which is 18 hours.
3. I am starting my plants a little later this year. Well maybe not all of them.
: Well last year, I started the chinenses in mid December. This year will be more like mid January although I will start a few tomorrow since I want to start the Growdown Yellow Brain Strains ASAP. Baccatums I started end of January last year and Annuums I started mid February of last year. I am going to move both of them to mid March.
4. Quantity. I don't know what to do here. I just like to start a ton of stuff because there are just too many pepper varieties still to try. If I am able to somehow keep the bugs away and am successful indoors, then I would like to sell extra plants locally for a minimal price. I have about 120 varieties that I will attempt to grow this year.
I still have the Park's Bio Domes for seed starting. I have been fairly successful there so no need to change.
So, for the first dome, I will be planting the following starting tomorrow. Pics to follow once hooks arise.
