seeds already sprouting

Hi all, I started some seeds last wed. afternoon and by friday afternoon they were sprouted. My cabbage, brussel sprouts and broccoli sprouted and by saturday my tomatoes were coming up. I still have peppers that have not sprouted yet. I have two fluorescent fixtures with daylight bulbs and heat mats. I also put in a small oscillating fan because my operation is down in my basement. I also have been using some chamomile tea in my water and cinnamon sprinkled on the surface. I know it's probably over kill but that damping off stuff scares me LOL. Happy gardening all.

Doing great! Sounds like you did your homework first, before you planted seeds. Congratulations, lots of people don't.

The peppers are a bit slower, but if all is well, should be showing themselves in a week or so from planting.

Depending on the pepper you planted and the temperature you are germinating at you should see them this week. However sometimes (More with super hots) it take 30 days to show progress
