This is a pepper plant growing in Orchid mix, correct? So little to no nutrients in that mix and you will need to either transplant it to a regular growing mix, one that contains added fertilizers, or feed it with a liquid fertilizer (diluted to 1/4 strength) weekly and don't over-water it. They do not like to have wet feet all the time.

Keep in mind that pepper plants are very slow growing by nature so don't expect quick growth like you would see with a tomato plant for example. But they do grow even with cooler soil temps. Soil temps that are too hot just result in long lanky leggy growth so be patient. Can't plant it outside for months anyway. :)

Well yes! I am figuring on adding a mixture of Miracle grow about 1/2 strength. But was waiting on the true leaves. These are only about 1" tall. Is it to soon to add?
Also this was an experiment to see if I could germinate as 3-4 others have tried and failed.They are about 22 days old now. As soon as they sprouted I put under my lights. Figured Id play with thee till time to start the others. Trying to get a nice bush plant and not the tall stringy ones I had. But think i had the lights to high then
But included the pic. Less then 50 % started.

My advice is on where to get cheap seeds. Have you ever send for free seeds at The Garden Hoard website? You can get 6 packs of seeds for a two stamped envelope. I am where you are physically and financially. I've gotten some nice seeds off of the seed exchange and the round robin exchange.
