Looks great Cody. Which ones are you having trouble starting? I have got all sprouted except my wilds (which I knew would take longer) and Chocolate Bhut. Not worried yet though. Only been 11 days.

I hope you have a great season!

Looking good Cody. I notice you arent using a seedling heating mat, ever consider one? It will warm the root area and from what I have seen myself and been told, make the seedlings grow faster. In my dome with a heating mat, my bhuts (and everything else) have sprouted very quickly.
 
A heating at definately makes the plants grow quicker, but is more for germination. I have orange 7 pots putting on real leaves 5 days after sprouting. That is a few days quicker than usual. But the down side is that with the dome off, the soil dries out much quicker. I had 2 plants wilt today due to the soil getting too dry. Hopefully they will pull through, but if not, I sowed extra just for these mistakes. Lesson learned.

I would like to get my plants off the heat mat soon in order to get a smaller stockier growth from the plant, but still waiting for a few more varieties to sprout.

im not using a heating mat for a couple reasons- 1. tere growing in my tarantula room(yeah thats my other hobby) and i keep it at a constant 80 degrees F. 2. the lights are close enough to boost the temp on the plants to 83 degrees F.

well the serrano seeds i got never sprouted, so i broke down and bought a seed packet from wal mart. other than that just a few pellets didnt sprout, no big deal i just planted more.
 
ok so i decided id go ahead and give an update.

i planted my biggest seedlings into 16oz dixi cups. the rest im leaving in the jiffy tray to grow for a bit longer. also i still have the odds and ends that never sprouted. but i replanted them and now waiting. i also went and got a survival blanket to aid in light reflection. anyway here are some pics.

thank you! this year is going to be the biggest grow op yet. so lots of time and patience are in order. i want everything to be just right!
 
to pot up in ended up using mirical grow potting soil. all wal mart had for now.

and thanks for all the comments.
 
I have used the miracle grow for pot up for years. May not be the best, but it does work. Your plants look great. Keep the updates coming.
