Hello, I just recently got into growing hot peppers and would like to learn all that I can to be productive at it, any advice would be appreciated. Here is some of what I have started.

Thank you. I have been watering with a spray bottle, but think I am going to get a watering can

No not a watering can .... spray bottle is good you just need the medium to be wet not soaked .. a watering can will flood the pockets and could possibly damage the seedling

No problem, man. You'll be fine. One bit of advice; don't overthink it, and let the plants "do their thing." Nothing will kill a chile plant quicker than too much grower attention! Often, new growers start forcing "remedies" (nutrients, soil additives, water, etc.) at their plants at the first sign of stress, causing more problems in the long run. If you think you have a problem, PROPERLY diagnose it first before you throw everything in the book at it.

Most of all, be patient and have fun!

Hi and welcome from western Massachusetts. :welcome:
 
+1 on #17. It's easy to kill your plants with too much kindness... just like infants, ya gotta start small and take it slow. Cheers!
