These grow lights & heat mats worked! My Tomato & Pepper Garden is going to have a great Harvest!

3 years ago

Welp, this is apparently part of my life for the next month. Switching out my plants every 12 hours is brutal but I can't afford more grow lights & I couldn't bring myself to toss any of them.
"Experts" said to plant more than one seed in each cup to insure one germinates but they ALL germinated! It's not a bad deal but I guess it's bad for me! Damn this empathy... It runs deep! 😂
Btw Kellogg's Cereal Tomatoes & the Cherokee Purple Tomatoes have been beasts. The ground cherry tomatoes & Jersey devil tomatoes have been teeny tiny frail wah-wahs! LOL They're hanging in there but they're so delicate I'm almost afraid to move them.
I don't know what I'm going to do when I transplant my pepper plants this week. I guess I have to get larger trays! Any suggestions for cheap but good ones?
🤩
I am on a tight budget so though these weren't expensive they worked out really well! I'm very happy despite the frustration of too many plants! lol

I don't make any money on these but this is what I bought.

* Seeds bought from:

* Take out trays that I use to hold , start & bottom water my plants. I separated the lid from the bottom, poked holes in the tops to use as humidity domes for seed stage & use the bottom trays to hold the water for bottom watering. The plant cups fit great. 2 solo cups & 2 square small pots or 4- 6 square small pots that I bought (above):
