I planted all my seeds (8 different pepper varieties) in a seed tray on February 27th and everything’s been going just fine since. They’ve been on a warming mat under tiny grow lights, the warming mat stays on all the time and the lights are on 16 hours a day. Some of the sprouts are tall enough to touch the plastic now, so I moved one to a solo cup on my sealed porch in direct sunlight. Within a minute it looks like it’s completely shriveled up and died.
For reference, I am in Colorado. Roughly 80 degrees and 10 percent humidity, slightly higher on both fronts in the porch.
Was I supposed to take the dome off right after they sprouted? Am I doing something wrong while replanting? What do I do to safely get these out of the tray and on their merry way?
