Greetings from the land of snow and ice!
Winters here in Finland are long - usually four or five months of snow and freezing temperatures, dark - at worst, only 5 hours of sunlight in December and cold - temperatures can go down to -35 degrees Celsius / -31 degrees Fahrenheit. So, a bit of warmth is needed during winter and Capsaicin is way to go during winter and growing peppers brightens up my life during the long winter. I've been growing peppers since 2003 and lot of stuff has happened during the years. I could start a grow log if anyone is interested?
I usually start my season in january and most of the seedlings are pre-grown in hydroponics. I'm using led grow lights and fluorescent tubes for providing the light for seedlings. This year i'm using coco coir with all of my peppers and it seems to be working quite well.
