wow, it is may… somehow since my last post, a lot has happened. 

The First week in Feb, I started my seeds.  I used those seed starting green houses with the little pucks of dirt that expand when you add water.  they worked great.  I had two seeds in each puck, and 12 pucks per type of pepper with 10 different types of peppers.

It was not long before I was clipping off the weaker of the two plants in each pod.

I should mention that I had the set up in the basement with 4 4′ flaurescent grow bulbs, and 2 150watt spot light grow bulbs on a timer that turned on at 7am and off at 8 pm.

for a brief moment I wondered how many people had a similar setup in their basement to grow something illegal>?>?

having learned the hard way, I should have waited until the first week in March to start my peppers… but you can read about that another day.
