Oh shit, yes my out/in flow is running constantly. Could that be the cause?

Hmm I have a small 3x3 or 4x4 grow tent; heat mat, lights, in/outflow, and 2 fans circulating the air. During the winter it would be too cold to get any of my peppers to germ as the weather continously dipped below 50 at night. My grow routine would be day time during night so the peppers ‘high’ would be a smidgen below 60 degrees by the time I woke up.

It’s the second time I seen DLI so I’ll look into it for peppers

Ah, try canning your excess? I plan on making some pasta sauce for any extra left over. Have you looked into growing vertically?

There’s never too many then there’s how much your spouse is willing to put up with it 😅

Oh cheese, I feel ya. I was like that late fall and throughout winter due to my grow tent not just getting how enough to transplant/Jumpstart a few varieties.

By the time I bought a small grow tent heater, the weather began to get warmer. What do you plan on sprouting?

diatomaceous earth

Glad to help! I’ll be posting more updates as I fell behind lately lol

Give it another go if you can!

Maybe sprinkle some DE on the top of your soil after watering to deter the pests or I’ve read that hydrogen peroxide (dilute) in a spray bottle helps kill the pests as well. How was your experience with egg carton growing?

Yeah my hot peppers are taking a bit to sprout whereas my sweet peppers have already shot out their true leaves. Try nicking your pepper seeds if you want them to germinate faster
