You're not organic, are you Bill? -Allan in WV

I direct seed into 128 or 72 square-celled trays. 128 cells are about 1"x1" and 3/4" deep. I grow the peppers out in these trays and try to schedule plantings at about 6 weeks. Weather being uncooperative, I've planted as late as 9 weeks successfully in these trays. Not the best but if you have a greenhouse and manage water and nutrients well, peppers can handle it.

What size pots do you folks pot your pepper starts up to?

We've always used 3 inch cups but I've seen professional pepper
growers using VERY small cups.

I'm wondering what other growers do.

Thanks
