The 2016 outdoor growing season is over here in NJ, so I decided to renovate a kitchen cabinet and make a micro garden to keep some peppers in for the winter.
The space is approximately 1 ft deep, 4 ft long, and 2 ft high. It is lit by a 2 lamp 108watt t5 ho fixture and has a small fan for air circulation. I installed a removable window screen in the face of the cabinet to diffuse the light a bit and help prevent any pest issues.
The plants are growing in a wicked soiless mix in #2 nursery containers, I used a wick to help with any potential PWC issues and assist with monitoring the moisture levels.
I am growing a Jamaican Red Chile, Orange Habanero, Carolina Reaper, and Chocolate Habanero along with a random houseplant rescue.
They were dug up, root pruned, cut back, and potted up about a week ago, and there is some new growth appearing.
