I have grown hot peppers before, but always from transplants. So I took the plunge and started some from seed this season.

I am growing Red Caribbean, Jalapeno, Scotch Bonnet, Peri Peri, Aji Dulce de Venezuela and Biquinho. I am also growing some sweet bell peppers, Pimento Tangerine, Bell Boy, Chocolate Beauty and Golden Calwonder.
I am trying, without luck, to grow a Trinidad Perfume. I have planted all of the seeds I had, over 10 with no luck.

All my seeds were from forum members. So it is no big deal if they don't sprout.

Here are the pictures.
First planting on February 1st.

This is one of the Peri Peri plants that I have. It seems a little tall to me, but it has been under the same light as all of the rest.

just keep watering those perfumes. I had one that took quite a long time and im still waiting for a bunch more to sprout.

So I now know I started my annuums and baccatums way too early.

I had to pinch the tops of the baccatums because they seemed to grow a 1/2 inch each day and I was running out of space under my lights.

And the annuums were so big I had to put them in 2 liter soda bottles. I don't have a good picture of it but most of the stems of the larger plants are bigger than a no.2 pencil.

Then I finally started my tomatoes but didn't have any more room under my lights because of the large containers for the peppers so I had to buy another light.

But I am enjoying the experience and will adjust things for next season.
 
Wow. Those look great. I know I don't mind TOO much when the plants grow too big too soon. You're going to need to drink a bunch more diet coke real soon. ;)
 
Great looking plants - looks like growing from seed is no challenge for you. What are you using for lights - just one twin tube floro?
 
@caroltlw
No problem with the diet coke. We have a newborn in the house. I drink a lot of it right now.

@bigt
I have 2 shop lights for the peppers on the top shelf and the new shop light on the bottom shelf since I ran out of space. The ones on top are raised to get the photo.
