Mike, Sure email me. What type of seed are you looking for?

Sandiaseed.com is one of my favorite seed companies – they offer organically sourced heirloom chile pepper seeds and also heirloom tomato seeds. I LOVE all their green chile seeds, they offer a lot of Hatch seeds so that I can grow the world-famous New Mexico Hatch chile varieties here in Colorado. I know they may not taste exactly the same as the Hatch region-grown chiles, but since they're fresh and homegrown I think they taste AMAZING regardless! If you like spicy like I do, Sandia Seed also carries Hot Hatch chiles as well as the super hot pepper seeds like the Carolina Reaper (in red and yellow!) plus lots of colors of Ghost Peppers and Scorpion peppers. I like to grow the hot peppers to make into hot chile flakes or also to add to salsas. Sandia Seed has a great recipe for Carolina Reaper Salsa, search for it on their site. I also love Baker Creek for all other types of vegetable seeds like squash, pumpkins, lettuces, spinach, and other fall/spring/winter veggies.

I have my seedlings under good ole' regular shoplights with cool white bulbs for about a week to 10 days after the majority have germinated. After that I switch to the big guns so to speak. Got a decent tax return couple years ago and invested in HID lighting...one of the better investments I've made, at least IMO. I run a 1000w Metal Halide lamp a Hortilux bulb at about 3 to 4 feet over the seedlings, the height can be adjusted same as shoplights. Just produces the nicest stocky seedlings. Yes its a power hog and a fairly substantial investment without question but I never worry about that in late May when those seedlings are going into the soil or pots.
