I start my peppers in six cells early on a heat mat no dome. Let the soil dry on top and bottom water when needed. I have led lights 24 inches above the plants at 50% and on for 12 hours. If I time it right my transplants are in 3x5.5 in pots and ready to go in 10 weeks. I don't fertilize unless the plants need it makes top growth to high and root growth insufficient.
You know I tried humidity domes and it made it all too wet and it eventually got a stagnant egg fart smell and after the first 5 or 6 days nothing else was sprouting cause I think it just got like overly humid and stagnant even with the vents opened. I have had better luck with just open air germinating outdoors or inside with no humidity domes and just watering regularly. That's how it would be naturally anyways. So yeah, I'm not a fan of humidity domes, it just got too stagnant and the soil was just soaking wet from the constant dripping water on the inside of the dome, and I just don't know how to keep it from doing that.
Three different videos three different hats but the same shirt, love it
Wifey makes me choose gardening shirts so I don’t dirty up my “nice” shirts.
@@cottonballminecraft I'm surprised they arent merch shirts
I get obsessed with my plants and have favorites as they're growing but I definitely don't name them.

I like your single cell pots. What is your source for purchasing them?
Looks like bootstrap farmer.
