After building a nice nursery I am the new proud owner of some cute pepper seedlings. Planted them exactly 7 days ago. I’m keeping them on the heat mat with a dome for high RH one more night for the stragglers to come up, but I’m happy.
I’m growing reapers, scorpions, Madame Jeanettes, tabasco, jalapeño, rb003, aji umba, habanero, and sugar rush stripe. The only ones that haven’t come up are 3 of the 4 sugar rush and the aji umba. All the others came up in 5 days after sowing.
I pretreated all of them with a 6 hour soak in 500 ppm GA₃ + 1% KNO₃ solution. Hopefully my sugar rush comes up because that was the one I was most excited for, but at least I got the one, I’ll just get a massive pot for it haha.
In the last image you can see which pepper is which. The red nub in the top left pot corresponds with the upper left one.
If any of you have any recommendation on keeping the humidity dome or not or anything else I should be doing, I am eager to hear them.

I find peppers do better in the 4 pack cells. A tray holds 48 peppers and they can all be individually planted.
