Trying out something new this year for my seed starting
Today I put the finishing touches on my small seed starting set up, once again I'll be starting my sweet peppers now just cuz they take a few extra weeks normally. Yes I'm still using a pair of 100W compact fluorescent bulbs (1600 Lumens each set to run 16hrs on a timer once I put the seeds in starter mix. For now I put the pepper seeds in wet paper towels in sealed baggies til they sprout, then in the mix they go. Now since I don't use a heat mat I'm taking a cardboard box I got at Walmart that fits over the seed starting tray I'll check the temp to make sure its not to hot but provides the warmth peppers need to help them germinate. Give this a look I'm thinking it will work and I'll paint the inside with white spray paint. Any advice on any mods I should make will be welcome.
