Both have germinated and are just about to pop out of the pod. Pics when they do.

Both are up. Both seeds in each pod germinated (even tho you can only see one Diamond).
I will update again when much more happens

I am a little worried about these both. The beginner leaves have a light darkish color to them. Both are fresh seeds from two different vendors. The Bounty was cleaned and rinsed a LOT before planting. I did a dump of water three days ago and did not add nutes (until today). I did read the following, it may or may not be this:
Also looked around and many said they have had this on their peppers. I never saw it on any of my Sweet Heats tho  mike , do you know if this can happen? I have never had it before. It may be ok or maybe from the air fluctuation from this weather? Any thoughts? I tend not to this a diseases as it is both. Should I just start over with a newly cleaned machine? Should I let them grow and see what the true leaves are like? Any help much appreciated.
EDITED TO ADD: I have viewed a ton of pepper plant diease pictures and did not see this one  |

I haven't seen that before.I'd let it grow out and see what happens. If you've already dumped and refilled the water, there's not much else you can do. They'll probably be fine.

Thanks. I will see what happens with the true leaves.

While both of the plants Cotyledons have that deep purplish color on them the centers of both are coming in a nice bright green.
Keeping  that they stay this way. |

I was happily surprised to see that these two plants are doing so well. But the surprising part is that the purpling that had me concerned is going away.
If you look back at the previous pictures to this one you can see the leaves are just about all green now.

Interesting! So maybe it was just a growing pain.

Both looking nice and healthy. All the dark color on the leaves went away on their own.

I removed at least 6 large leaves from each plant a few days ago. These are what they look like this morning. What a difference a week (and Mooch) make.

Shawn, your plants look great.
Mooch is what we call a calcium-magnesium supplement called Mr. Mucha-Stash that works better (in my opinion) than other calcium-magnesium supplements. It can be purchased on Amazon at:
