kgetpeppers 2014 GL: 10/15. Late harvests

Last season was full of disappointment but a strong learning experience. Ebay had gotten me enticed by WORLDS HOTTEST PEPPER SEEEDS. Those bell peppers I received were not hot at all . I did however grow some very delicious cayenne pepper plants that turned out well as well as some tomatoes. On to new beginnings I invested in a 4 bulb t5 HO system and did lots of research and buying and trading seeds here on THP. The rest is history. The knowledge this community has given me is a great and I can only learn more with experience. 
 
I started this season with 40 varieties in mind: My final grow list includes: Thanks to all who sold and or traded with me

I was planning on Growing a few more but germination did not occur
bahamian goat-
brazilian starfish-really bummed on this one
pepper joes carolina reaper- not so bummed on this one
 
 
 
Germination started a little late about mid march I started all the seeds after a soak in some tea and warm water in some seed starting medium in small paper cells that come rows of 5. These were the worst starting pots I have ever used. They did not allow for almost any root development and water absorption and basically put me a month behind schedule. I planted a second wave of the ones I really wanted like BBG7, Brown M etc in solo cups and they exploded with growth faster that the ones a month old. I quickly repotted them into 3.5 inch pots and after initial shock they began to grow.
 
I grew in my garage which wasn't kept too warm it was around 67 degrees and fluctuated because we had a really bad winter and spring here in illinois. Lights were on a timer 18-6 after 24 hours for first few weeks. A fan blew for 2 hours twice a day on a timer. 
 
Pictures will be up asap!
 
Thanks for joining me!

Haha, Well this week was a rude awakening that winter is coming. Pretty cold but actually the peppers look to like the 50 degree temps to be honest.

I tried to pick some pods today.
 
Bad idea. EVERY leaf I touched fell right the hell off.
