[Market-farming] starting pepper plants

Welcome!

 

I use a "Pro Mix" type starter, make sure the mix is wet and stays wet,
cover seed and cover with a clear dome.  I also set the temp on the heat mat
to around 75 -80*'s.  Usually only take around 7 days to pop out.

I have been a lurker on the list gathering info and want to say thank you to
all the contributors.

This is my first year at trying to start pepper plants from seeds. And it
was a 100% failure. None germinated, all was fresh seed from reputable seed
houses.  I had them on a heat mat and tried to keep the top moist. What
starter medium would you recommend? I read one blog that said you should
soak pepper seeds overnite before putting in seed containers.

Thanks again
