Thanks Greyghost, you have a lot more experience than me. I forgot to mention to cover them. I have hard plastic covers that even have vents. That is what I use.
Funny I germinated some snap dragons and I reused the seed starting soil for my peppers, and now I have some late snapdragons germinating in my pepper pots!
At the end of the season I recycle the soil in my raised beds but keep using it for the season. One trick that works for me is adding a tablespoon or two of hydrogen peroxide in the misting water. It does not hurt the seedlings but keeps algae and fungi like damping off fungi at bay. It also kills fungus gnat eggs.
