I figured I should start one of these. Since I keep detailed notes, might as well keep them on here too. A big thanks go Judy for giving me a big box o'peppers to eat and save some seeds from.
This year I am planning on growing:
Jalapeño
Cayenne
Bishop's Crown
Datil
Fatalii
MOA Scotch Bonnet (Thanks: Hillbilly Jeff for seeds)
Peach Bhut
Peach Hab
White 7 pot
Antilles Fire (Thanks smileyguy)
Choc Scorpion (Thanks smileyguy)
From AjiJoe (Thanks Joe):
Aji Amarillo
Yellow Thai
St Lucia Red Season
Lotah Bih
Bahamian Goat pepper
Brazilian Sandollar
I have 3 plants that I am overwintering: Serrano, Red Bell, and a New Mexico 6-4.
I planted a round of seeds, sans the ones from AjiJoe, in Jiffy pots on 1/5 and I had to leave for a workshop the next day for a few days. When I returned I had a Bishop's Crown up and a few other hooks. The next day, 1/12, I moved them out of the covered germination box and put them under a light.
As of tonight I have had 100% germination for the MOA (2/2), peach bhut (3/3), and fatalii (2/2). I also have one Bishop's Crown, Choc. Scorpion, and White 7pot. Still no germination for the Jalapeno, Cayenne, Datil, and the Antilles Fire. I planted 1 more seed in a Jiffy pot tonight for these that did not germinate yet.
I am concerned about my light setup. I am using 1 6500 K 15W CFL on a lamp that can be moved vertically to be close to the seedlings. Is it enough light to sustain the plants for a few months before they go outside? Should I add another light?
