Hi all,
2016 is off to a little bit of a late start. This is my second year growing peppers and I feel like I've stepped up my game quite a bit. I'm starting out with a few 78-cell trays with a variety of peppers. I'm using rockwool cubes to germinate and will use Dyna-Gro Foliage when they start to show some leaves. After these guys get large enough I will transfer them to cups. I've got a 10ft x 20ft plot out back where a lot of these will end up. Unfortunately, I can't take over the entire garden and have to share some space for tomatoes, watermelons, herbs, and other veggies. Some peppers will probably remain indoor plants. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with potentially 100s of plants indoors. This is what we're working with so far:
Tray 1 (sow 3/31/2016)
Red = Trinidad Scorpion
Blue = African Birds Eye
Yellow = Tabasco
Tray 2 (sow 4/5/2016)
Red = Carolina reapers
Blue = Naga Viper
Yellow = Ghost
Green = Cowhorn (free gift from PepperJoe's)
Red/Blue = Golden Macaroni (free gift from PepperJoe's)
Blue/Yellow = Thai Hot
Tray 3 (sow TBD)
Habanero
Jalapeno
Cayenne
The Set Up:

Tray 1, the Birds Eye's are getting an early lead followed by the Tabasco's. The Scorpions are on the top (red) and coming along nicely though. This is about three weeks from dropping the seeds into the rockwool.

Tray 2, I put 2-3 seeds per rockwool and it seems every single one of them germinated for the Thai's (blue/yellow). No signs of life yet for the Cowhorn or Macaroni's. Got at least 3 of each Reaper, Viper, and Ghost though, and only after 2 weeks

Tray 3, I'll probably set this one up in the next couple of days but I'm running low on space under the lights.....

**Side Note. my pictures are enormous and distort the form all up so I posted links instead. How can I fix this without opening up all the pictures and re-sizing them?
