Bumholio, Heat will help with germination, and a light can provide heat. Light will help later. Some "Serious" gardeners use a germination heat mat to start.
For example I happen to have a fermentation chamber with adjustable temperature. I put the seeds in a wet paper towel in a bag @85F until a root emerges. My seeds germinated in less than a week that way. And I am seeing first true leaves on some now.

Yea I use a couple heat mats, for germination. I also use T5 lighting indoors until plant out. Most everything I planted has already germinated. They make mats specifically for seed germination or if you have an aquarium heater you could make yourself one those incubation boxs like for spawn jars

Chilli people!
I've just started my chilli journey, I'll be using them to make fermented sauces.
Some crowded Black Pearl
A mix of Lilac Cayenne, Black Pearl, and Thai (frutescens).

Not sure if you have had black pearl or not but in my opinion they taste terrible, strictly ornamental.

We are up and running I've transferred about 16 seedlings this morning and have another 4 or 5 different types to sort out.
I bumped The temp up to 26c for a day (by accident ) and they all started coming up.
I've ordered a CFL T5 lamp which will be here tomorrow, so that should help a bit until the days start getting longer

Lol, I know fuck all about lights but apparently this is self ballasted?? As far as I can work out that means you can screw it straight in the rose and away you go.
Obviously this isn't ideal but atm they're getting way more light than they would without it, so it'll do til I can come up with something else.

What are you all feeding your seedlings? I just started 1/4 strength all purpose Miracle Gro.
Most of them have 4 true leaves now.

I haven't fed mine anything yet. I've used a compost mix when I've re potted them of 2:1:1:1 general purpose compost, hpoo, verm, perlite.
@D3monic, is this right for Christmas blue? I've re potted 2 seedlings and both have gone like this, no others have though they're all green.

potting up some of my seedlings. I bought these bio-degradable fabric bags. Trying an experiment. Some of them are in Miracle Grow potting soil. It has food in the soil. Others are in crappy dollar store soil - feeding with Masterblend 4-18-38. (hydroponic food) I am also trying one kratky hydroponic jar. That one was a runt. If it overtakes the plants in soil I will be impressed.
