So after being rather slow off of the mark as far as the season goes, and having 30 odd seeds germinating in a box I was deliberating as to what I should do with regards to actually growing these germing seeds. I spoke to a friend who used to grow .. ermm... rather 'tropical' plants I managed to lay my hands on a 400W HPS lamp and ballast (as well as a bubble-ponics kit which I am not using) and have come out with this set up :

There are two fans, the desk fan pointing at the light and a small PC fan aimed at the larger plants in an attempt to harden them up. What sort of temperature should I be aiming for? And also what would be a reasonable light cycle to use?

The two larger plants are cayenne pepper bought as they are from a small fruit shop, just wanted to see how they'd get on:

In the trays I have Hab's and super chilli seedling:

Please feel free to make any helpful comments, or advice :D

P.S apologies for the rubbish quality of the photo's, taken by the wonder that is my iPhone :/ :lol:
 
The best advice I can give you is "clean up that mess on the bottom"....keep your grow area very sanitary...other than that, they look good

Yeah I'd created said mess just before I took the picture, but I shall keep that in mind. Thank you.

How about heat...what sort of temperature should I be aiming for?
 
The light clicked on a few hours ago, and upon inspection there are 15 healthy looking seedlings so far, some of which are showing signs of their true leaves come through. There is however, one little fella who didn't fancy leaving his seed so I've helped it out without doing too much damage.

As for the bigger plants, what would people recommend in ways of nutrients?
