Ok guys I need some of your help with growing my seeds. Probably some of you are hard core pepper fanatics. Im sure some of you have green houses. I actually looked into a cold green house but there was no way I could handle the heating requirements. A simple space heater just would not do. Anyways last year I did plant some of my seedlings and some where fine. Others were stunted and never really took off. Last year most of my seeds germinated fine (except for chiltepin) but I put them in my basement which I think was to cold for them. I lighted them appropriately using shop lights and one warm and one cold light bulb. Now this year I have found some space up stairs for them. They are not in front of a window and there is no room in the house to put them in front of one so im using a shop light setup again. I set up a card table (not the square card table but the bigger ones that are rectangular instead of square, I donÂt know what they call them). Anways my first problem is how do I hang the shop lights. I really donÂt want to punch holes in my wall or ceiling to hang shop lights. In the basement it was easy and just suspended them by the rafters. Not so easy in the computer room. Right now my seedlings are just starting to emerge so I put a couple thick books on each side of the seed flat which will work for now but soon it wonÂt as we all know. What options do I have here?

Im going to ask a few more misc questions but the one above is by far the most important. I planted all my seedlings in those flats that are joined together hand have sections that you can cut apart that have 9 cells. After you seedlings germinate do you guys move them to bigger containers or will they be ok in the smaller containers for say 8 weeks? I just have so many seedlings that I donÂt want to run out of room. I donÂt have a huge greenhouse with lots of room. I am growing hot peppers, a few sweet ones, tomatoes, and herbs.

Ok last question for nowÂim sure I will ask more later ;). Anyways, what do you guys with seeds that are germinating at different rates? As I said above I germinate seeds in seed flats that I separate into 9 cell containers. After I plant all the seeds I them put it back into the flat and cover it with a plastic container. I try to plant seeds in each 9 cell container with plants that are close in germination times (as best as I can at least). For example in one 9 cell container I planted all habeneros but of different types: 3 red, 3 orange, and 3 white bullet. In another I planted 6 cherry peppers and 3 casabel. Well even though I do this I will have all the cherry peppers come up but not one casabel is up. I know as soon as a seedling breaks the soil and you can see the leaves that you should have light on the seedling but what do you do when part of the seeds have not yet come up? If I remove it from the heating mat/germinating area then I wonÂt get the other things to germinate but if I leave them in the germinating area then the seedlings that have emerged wonÂt get light. How do you guys solve this problem?
