Got my grow-tent set up for my seedlings yesterday, will post pics later.

 

[chsy83]

Just put my seeds that I started on paper towels into soil (seed starters and party cups) and placed them in the grow tent. In the tent are 40 Amish Bush and 32 Orange Habanero and 24 Trinidad Scorpion Butch T( in the cups).

Pulled back view of the loaded up grow tent:

My butch Ts:

Outside are going 50 Red Habanero in party cups:

On 5/17/12, I spritzed the top of the soil on all of my cups and cell seed starter with 3% H2O2 to prevent dampen down (what killed off most of my first round of Butch Ts).

Still waiting on the first signs of greenery . . .

You're off to a good start - here's to a great grow season for you!

 

[chsy83]

Checked last night, and had one orange hab seedling pushing through the soil! Shouldn't be long before I see more . . .

 

[Jamison]

I absolutely hate waiting for seeds to germ. Good luck with everything and happy growing!

 

[chsy83]

I now have 8 orange habs and 1 red hab seedlings growing and looking healthy. Except, I have one orange that looks like its cotyledons have fused into one.

will post pics later

This is what I did over the weekend:

I also put landscaping fabric between the rows, don't have a pic of that.​

My peppers are going in this.​

 

[ColoradoRonin]

Congrats on 10 butch T's!
Very nice on the garden.
Looks like your peppers will have a nice home.
Anything else going in besides peppers?

 

[chsy83]

Nope. I have some squash in the box to the right in the second pic.

A little late, have to do this earlier next year. I went through 8 liters of water Saturday.
