Hi All. I created my account here last fall when I was collecting ideas for what to grow this year after catching the hot pepper addiction and this is my first grow log. I live in the Portland, Oregon area and have gardened most of my life. Last year I had jalapeno, habanero, poblano, ghost pepper, green/yellow/red bells and tomatoes grown from nursery/Home Depot starts. The peppers did amazing in the relatively hot summer we had. I've never had much luck starting much from seed but I practiced with some seeds from a bell pepper and think I have it down. Wish me luck!

End of March/Beginning of May:
 
Moved everything to the garage under a backlight from a 55" LCD TV I got from work. It worked surprisingly well, was super bright and had a hint of blue in the light which I've read is good for the growth phase.
