looking for seeds

falconblack · February 5, 2014

I purchased some seeds from a Pepper Joe last fall and tried to start them in January but no luck I believe they were duds. Does anyone here have some Bhut Jolokia seeds I can purchase that are not duds?

Thanks will check out.Also have you ever tried cfl light to grow plants.I have a small starter room 3 feet by 5 feet,in which I have a 4 foot 6 bulb t5 fixture that I made and now I added a 125watt cfl to other side of room.Do you think that will be enough light to take the pepper and tomato plants to transplantable size for the garden?

I have grown a few plants using CFLs. They work well. Whether you have enough light will depend on how they are arranged relative to the plants and what reflectors you are using.

I have saved seed from 2012, neither plants or flowers were isolated. I grew a couple last year and they seemed to grow true. If interested let me know, we're running out of time to grow super hots up north.

I have managed to get some seeds started and am now growing scorpions,ghost peppers and cayene now.But thank you very much for the offer.When I figure how to put a pic on here I will send you all one.

falconblack,

I use CFL shoplights over my pepper and tomato seedlings, keeping the light about 4 inches above them - peppers grow slowly enough at first, you don't need to move the lights up very often.

I had lights over the windows last year, so the bigger plants had some daylight too.

Good idea lights above window.That would work.For now I put 2 3foot t5 ho lights above each shelf 1foot apart and 6inches above plants sees to be working.Will put near window after transplant.
