Hello from ND

After a bad season of gardening I decided to start some indoor growing again for the first time in over 20 years, but back then it was a different kind of crop. Had wet freezing temps this spring as the garden was germinating then warmed up quickly spreading rust and fungus, followed by birds and cutworms, so the only things growing are tomatoes and jalapeños grown from seedlings I purchased from a greenhouse. So I bought a little led grow light and started a habanero and two Thai pepper hybrids in the basement in a homemade grow tent with climate controls. Everything was going good til my big Russian blue ate 3/4 of the leaves off my habanero plant and slightly damaged my two Thai's. Really hoping the hab can recover.

I've been lurking in the forum for weeks, and looks like a great community. Hoping to learn a lot and contribute what I can as I transition into coco growing and maybe some aeroponocs.

Ii'm sure the hab will recover bit the cats lucky I didn't skin him album be for setting me back a few weeks. I was working on a contract to sell the peppers to a local Mexican grocer. Now I have to renegotiate on just the Thai peppers to start with. I wasn't planning to top the plant at all to keep it from bushing out wide and crowding the other plants that have to fit under the lights narrow footprint until I can afford to buy more lighting.

They have to fit with my wife's crazy double sweet corn experiment. Short and stocky so far, on to leaf 8 now.

Hi Hafners

Welcome to the community. Enjoy your time here and have fun. Keep us informed about the recovery of you plants
 
This variety of corn typically has 6 to 10 inch growth nodes, but under controlled lighting has around 1 inch nodes so hoping I can keep it midget. It's just an experiment to see if it does better than our cutworm/rust damaged corn in our garden, and its already passed it in height and its 12 weeks younger. Morphology is an interesting subject on how plants react to lighting and environment.
