Peppers are Idealist

  
After ten days, the new sprouts are starting to show how much they are enjoying their ideal conditions. These mixed bell peppers(purple, yellow, red, green) sprouts were started and transplanted to containers at the same time. The containers are the same size.

   The only difference is one was grown under 20 hours of light with the room temperature around 75 degrees.

   The other was grown in the sunniest window in the house, dealing with cold nights and snowy days.

Tomato Update

   The tomatoes are also loving life. They were fed for the first time yesterday with a 3-1.25-1.25 fertilizer.  The food was mixed to a 1/4 strength so the plants don't get stunted. This happens because the new roots are very sensitive to nitrogen. The roots stop growing and die if exposed to too much. The plant will let you know if you have over-fed it, leaves will turn yellow at the tips and began to die back. If this happens, flush the container until water streams out of the bottom and don't feed again until the plant begins to recover.
