I actually had 1 of the habanero peppers pop today ... only 5 days, was expecting the jalepenos way before the habanero. My ceramic heater units with the spacers give me between 75-80F heat when the units are storing or off-peak. 80-85F when on-peak and active. My germinated plants so far are enjoying the window sill in a 68-70F environment. I'll move them all to the basement this weekend under a grow light and heat mat, but the germination happened too early for me to get all set up (I was expecting at least 1 week to relax after sowing)... sheesh!
I grow 4x the number of plants that I need just in case I get bad germination... the extras compete for the 'ultimate' garden spot, deck containers or give-aways to friends and co-workers.
