1970-1655- Sorry about being a couple of days late posting.
You had asked about your seeds not germinating of if they did sprout they would soon shrivel and die.
Below I posted a pic of seedlings I started from seeds. It was just a whim as I had already started all my other seeds. These plants were started from Bell peppers I bought at the store. They were in the 'three pack' 1 red, 1 yellow and 1 gold. I dried the seeds and planted them in some extra peat pods I had laying around. I kept the soil warm and once the seed sprouted I put light on them, 24/7.
These are experimental to see if they produce what their parents looked like.
Below is how close I keep the T-12 bulbs to the seedlings. Plants are not tall and spindly plus, they have developed strong stems.
It's kinda late in the season for me to start seeds but since I had them I wanted to see what happens.
I hope this may help you.
