Like AlxTgr I have that same cheap grow system from Temu (with a grudge). All 4 trays and lights were $8. Can't go wrong.

Anyway, my question is how much light to give seeds in the beginning and then gradually as they age???

I found some really cool purple bell peppers at a store in BR last year and kept seeds. Obviously, it is a hybrid of some sort. Am I wasting my time with those?

Also, trying to grow some Hatch Green Chile like I did when living in Phoenix.

It’s part of the fun! Who cares if you have the room to experiment?

Another question. How cool can the house be for the seeds to germinate? I have heating pads coming in, but didn't think about that until after I ordered the grow box thingies.

If it's been too cool, are the seeds ok after a week in the jiffy 7s?

I bought the same set up as well. Just got back from Kansas and my tomatoes jumped. What should I do about this? They're pretty much touching the top. Thought about just hanging that light individually over the taller ones.
