This is the first video in a series documenting my attempt to grow vegetables at 8000+ft in Northern Colorado. I’ll try and update these weekly or bi-weekly depending on the progress. For germinating I have hung a florescent fixture (4 T5 2′ bulbs) about 12″ above the soil. I am also using a seedling heating mat which brings the growing medium above it to 10-15 degrees warmer then the ambient temperature. The seeds are in peat pellets inside a humidity dome to keep things nice and moist. So far I have planted Brandywine tomatos, Serrano chilis, and Habanero chilis. I put the seeds in peat-plugs on 3/4 and had my first seedlings come up 4 days later on 3/8! The combination of bottom heat, full-spectrum florescent light, and high humidity seem to be working well. I hope to see some chili sprouts within the next 4-5 days. I am also in the process of building a vermicomposting bin so that I can start turning my kitchen scraps into usable compost for the veggies this summer. At the moment I have multiple adds on Craigs list looking for supplies (for free!) and worms to get started.
