I want to get into growing some of my own peppers because they are hard to get locally, and man do i love really really hot foods... I ordered 20 seeds, only looking for 2 plants or so. anyone have experience doing indoor peppers? i did a few searches here on riu, but none of them really had much information on germination methods, soils, lighting cycles... general noob questions. any resources or advice would be awesome, Thanks!

i just germ peppers by placing them seed depth in a small soil container and keep the room warm. it takes peppers any where from 1-2 weeks to sprout, ive had some take 3 but i think they were planted to deep.
as for soil i would just use bag soil of something nice and fluffy with lots of organic materials. black gold soils and amendments are good and cheap as well as garden and bloom soils but i think they are local here. black gold can be found at almost any fred myers or garden store. im not sure about light cycles though, the ph level should just be neutral. and my boss over the years haas found that when the summers are hotter so are the peppers, wo we try to plant them where the most sun is all year.
hope this helps a little bit

Absolutely. Thanks for the input. I'll germ them up tonight, and see what happens in a few weeks and post a grow journal. The hotter the better!

I just planted 10 different varieties. I'll either make my own thread or piggy back on this one if you don't mind.

My grandfather has always swore that the hotter the season, the hotter the peppers.... and he grows some mean ones.

I too have noticed the hotter the weather the hotter the pepper. Also less water seems to add some heat to em as well. Ill be growing ghost chillis, chocolate habeneros and Chinese 5 colors as my hot peppers this year.

I'm not sure what all i'll be growing as far as peppers are concerned, but I know for sure I'll be having yellow peter peppers and some unknown birdeye peppers my grandfather has been growing for the past 30yrs; mean lil bastards and actually produce a good amount every year.
