Can’t let your heads swell too much over here, but there’s some genius suggestions that have been absolute game changers for my pepper grow 1.5 and counting.
1) using pieces of mosquito dunks in water reservoirs to kill larva of fungus gnats by inoculating the soil. Here’s what I was dealing with in the beginning and here’s what I’m dealing with now.
2) soap/sprayer combo. Coat aphids in lethal soap and rocket them off to who cares where in one move. Sweet!
3) passionate, fun group that shares a wealth of knowledge. Hopefully one day my head will expand too and I can become a contributor.
4) my wife will want to personally hunt down everyone who posted seed sites as I now sit on one of the largest single owner pepper seed banks in this hemisphere while our personal bank account is slightly less full.
5) LED light suggestions were hugely helpful in getting off to a quick start. I now own 4 lights. They multiply faster than aphids.

Ha, yeah…. i’m guilty of at least one of those things. You’re welcome😁
Can you explain the first one to me? Trying to battle gnats right now..
Link to buy flower fly paper?
glad things are going well. One thing I would do differently is the lights. You said you’ve now got 4 LED lights….curious to know what you’ve got there, but if you have 4 I would guess you’ve got multiple strip looking lights labeled as grow lights from walmart etc… those things suck. It’s better to just buy one nice full spectrum grow light off amazon. I start all mine in a tent and a 100w grow light is all you’re gonna need for starting peppers. You can get that for 50 or 60 bucks on amazon and it will be way better than those led strips you have now.
