Thanks everyone....I appreciate your thoughtful responses and will investigate the suggestions for the different type of coir -- I really like this stuff....very easy to store and work with. I'll also move the sprouts to a sunnier location. The room I have them in is bright...but perhaps still NOT enough light.

I'm new to this so I'm trying lots of 'experiments'. I transplanted a few of these pepper sprouts to my raised garden and to continue to protect them I cut some soda liter bottles in half and staked them over the 'sprouts'....just to see what would happen. I used this method to protect some tomato transplants that I had planted a few weeks ago...then we were threatened with a [ late for us in N. Texas ] freeze. It worked...so I thought I would try it for the 'pepper sprouts'. I had to punch a hole in the side of half liter bottle to use the stake....otherwise it just blows over.

Appreciate the help...

Best wishes,
Jann
