Thanks everyone. Been very busy so this glog might not be as detailed as last years. Yes Trippa they are THSC Red Savina, I got them a few months ago.

Here are the first hooks.

It looks like a lot of light but most of those globes are only 11 watts. I haven't counted it up but don't think it is too much. Could have probably used a single 200W fancy grow light, but with this setup I can take any out and customize the levels. And they are the same globes I use in my house

Yeah there is a fan, I'll post a picture below. They look like that because they'd only been under lights for 5 minutes.

Thanks

Most of the trays have sprouted now.

These four varieties haven't done anything but they failed last time I tried them.
Aji Panca
Bhut Jolokia x Habanero White Giant f3
Bhut Jolokia x Pimenta De Neyde
Wasp

New ones not up yet are
7 Pot Burgundy
Devils Tongue Yellow

Everything else is going well.

I thinned most to one sprout per cell but if you look center of this picture there are two Fataliis in one cell and they both came up with three cotyledons. Too strange, had to leave them.

Forgive my noobishness but what IS the purpose of the fan?

Fluorescent globes are not as bad MH or HPS lights but they do produce heat. With no fan the seedlings would cook pretty quickly.

Plants breathe through their leaves and need the air circulating. Indoor growers of "other" plants set up tubes to feed CO2 right to the leaves. They use tanks of CO2 but I tried it once with some yeast and sugar and water in a bottle. Didn't really see any results but I had a lot of other problems going on at the same time. Don't think it's that necessary for young plants.

I'm using Coco Coir which holds moisture for a long time. It's actually very forgiving of over and under watering but it stays totally wet for 24 hrs after the tray is flooded. The fan dries the top so algae and mold doesn't take over.

This is what I pulled out of the big chest freezer from last year.

I'm starting more plants this year! and hoping to have all this turned into sauce or powder before the new chillies get picked.

Juswt had my fourth marbgarita and things are getting a little hazy
