My wife sows my pepper seeds. About 16,700 this year. We still start them in our house under lights. When they get a full set of leaves we take them out to the green house. Then I transplant them into 1204 cell trays. I am about 3/4 done.

This year I have 129 varieties of peppers. Some varieties I have only 30 seeds each. Some varieties have 300 to 400. They are sown in pots and flats and covered with panes of glass or saran wrap and put under the lights.

We have one three tier setup in our laundry room and a couple shelves upstairs with lights. Been doing this a long long time. Never used any bottom heat.

The shelves upstairs.
