Sorry for the late reply must have missed this, but negative I do not host. Server space is too cheap for me to deal with. It. Now I do “rent” my existing server space lol.

Pepper seed germination has begun. This is what I’m starting from seed. 24 hour soak in potassium nitrate and now in coffee filters inside ziplock bags on top of the dvr to germinate. Should be ready to transfer to starter trays this weekend.

Never heard of a Cappuccino Chiltepin.... Me either lol. I don't remember ordering them and don't see it on a order history thru 2019. Must have been a freebee that TX hot threw in on one of my orders. I'm starting quite a few and hope they germ well. If so and you're interested I'll ship you one. The cool thing about pepper seed sellers like TX or White hot is they always throw in a couple extra verities of their choosing. I ordered 6 from White this year and he threw in an extra 6. I ordered the T-Rex(Mustard) for my 6yr old nephew. He's big into Dino's. Told his mom it's probably best he not touch the plant or the peppers lol.

Getting my plumbing almost done. 12 boxes and a large key hole raised bed in the middle. 3 stations on hunter electric valves ran off a Battery Bluetooth controller. I ran PVC and hose bib to every bed. Maybe overkill but will be super nice when it’s done. I’ll post updates Sami finish. [video:youtube] https://youtube.com/shorts/9wBrAJPMGtw?feature=share[/video]

Anyone else like using rabbit poop in container gardens? Can you use rabbit poop without composting? We have llamas and can put the pellets directly in with soil without composting. Most you have to compost first or it’ll be to “hot”

What type of peppers are you growing? If it's Jalapeno or other milder varieties you can plant them straight into the soil. You can youtube the paper towel germination method. I use that method for hot peppers. Seed need two things to germinate. Moisture and heat. You want your soil moist but not soaking wet. Place a seed in the center of each pod about 1/4" deep. I use a sharpie to make the hole. Cover it with some soil. Put the lid on and place it in a warm place. I put mine on top of my TV DVR in a closed cabinet. It keeps it a perfect 85-88 degrees. You can also use a heating mat. You'll have germination in a few days on the tomatoes and maybe a week on the peppers. Once they germinate I take off the lid. Now they need light. And not just window light. Without proper lighting they will get leggy fast. Lots of options. I'm cheap and use a 6500K shop light and it works well. Payne and others can recommend some of the lights they use.

On the tomatoes, I was definitely going to place in front of a window, once they germinate, so scratch that. I have a heat stand I plan to use and I'm guessing they need to first stay in a dim/dark area prior to germination? Any suggestions on a cheap light source would be greatly appreciated.

Then one night it was going to get to like 25. I ran to the grocery store and bought all the 64oz Styrofoam cups they had. Tapped Kabob sticks to the and got them all covered. It worked. They all made.

Doesn't have to be a dark and dim place. Just warm .Overall a lot of people think seeds need light to germ. One tip on the paper towel method. If you do it use coffee filters instead of paper towels. Easier to get the seed and root off a coffee filter. These are the lights I use. Lights1Here is a 2' version. Lights2
