Hi All.... first let me say that this forum is a wealth of information full of all kinds of friendly folks!! I'm glad to be here (... this is my first post....).
I have been trying to start some Carolina Reapers, Butch-T Scorps, Naga Viper and some Ghost Peppers. I am having a problem. About 50% of my seedlings sprout and put out the first two "leaves" which immediately wither and die. I am using a Hydrofarm with a dome. I keep the soil temperature between 80-85ºF. My soil is 30% sand and 70% Miracle Grow Moisture Control posting soil. I keep a 20 watt OttLite "plant growth" bulb on for 20hr per day.
I have some pictures but I don't see a way to post them..... I'll show you what's going on if I can figure that out.
Thanks for any suggestions!
