So here we go again on that magnificent journey of pepper growing.
I have no definitive grow list, as per usual, so it'll be a surprise for all of us.
What I do know is, is that there will be peppers grown again.

it's more a case of "senior moments", imagine the scene - hard day working, come home tired, wet and hungry, log onto the laptop and a pepper website pops up - I mean it would be rude not to peruse the seeds wouldn't it. And in my sleepy moment before bedtime my frisky fingers click on "BUY BUY BUY"You seem to be having some problems with those seed orders, @Tinkerbelle
And that sleeping brain has the audacity to send the credit card numbers to her fingers to type in....

oh flipping heck, seedlings are popping like crazy even the reapers are coming up, they've only been in the soil 6 days - no lights set up nothing and I'm working late today, I've never had seeds in such a hurry to germinate.
It's not that I'm worried about the seeds or anything, just that I'm not prepared for this speed
Do you think turning down the thermostat will slow them a bit? Currently on 25C

I start my seeds at 80F & keep them there until they get going well in their 3 1/4" pots
Never had a too much heat problem, only a not enough heat with problems like, mold & rotting

It's a good bet the cooler it is, the slower they'll grow. But don't go too cold, they'll die!

You can keep them around 20°C without fear, this is the average temperature in my basement (19-21°C). They continue to grow, but their pace remains controlled!Oh noes

for those who are interested, the seeds were soaked in warm mint green tea for 2 days - although I will do a proper test when I'm ready to start the annums

I'm interested. Are you keeping the tea above room temperature for the duration of the soak? I've soaked seeds on a heat mat before to keep them warm, but usually go the lazier route of room temperature and soaks not exceeding a day. Maybe I should try a longer heated soak with some of the annuum batch I'm about to drop and see how that does for me.
