I'm gonna have more than I know what to do with, and that's even after losing a dozen or so to end rot.

What up 6a/b fellow pepper gardener! How early do you start them inside and how often do you feed them? We start peppers in March under lights and feed every other week.

    Hello! I started seedlings indoors in late March with grow lights and a heat pad. I didn't use feeder until I transplanted them to medium sized pots, at which point I just mixed the stuff right into the soil.

    Once I transplanted again to their final large pots and had them fully hardened off and outside, I started mixing a different feeder into the water once every 20 days or so (though I watered regularly about twice a week unless we had some serious rain or heat, which we did once or twice).

    This is the first time I've grown anything from seed, but this site has been very helpful for growing peppers: [PepperGeek.com](Home - Pepper Geek https://share.google/touhIrfHkj5o2zSGS)
