No new seeds have sprouted. Except one more in the same pod as the last pepper. I bought an instant read thermometer to check the temperature of the grow box and the pods the seeds are germinating in. The instant read is nice because I can insert it directly into the dirt and measure the temperature of the pod. I can also poke it thru the insulation I used to make the grow box and read the ambient temperature.
The outcome was the box was not as hot as I thought it was which may explain the poor germination. I upped the temperature by putting the light further into the grow box and covered the ventin hole a little more. No the pods are hovering around 80 durring the day when the light is on.
