Good thing leaves are all pretty healthy atm

Other reason to trim all the lower leaves is that it's getting difficult to water. I went back to top watering... But i guess I could switch it up again. Plants are just happier when I water from the top

looking very nice Ryan!

Keep it green

Genetikx · Mar 18, 2018

Speaking of green. Still haven't clipped many lower leaves

Also decided to pot up the zapotec, biker billy jalas and blue christmas. The jalas just needed more room to play and blue christmas gets more dirt just cuz I'm curious what it'll do in new shoes.

For root reference, last pot up was 2/5/18

Pots are 6.5" wide, 7" tall. I'll pot of those other 2 jalas soon

D3 and Juanitos, those super tall 3.5" pots was kind of a bitch to work with. I found getting the plants out was a little more difficult than it needed to be.

Fantastic looking plants!

My first time growing the Zaps, can't wait to see how they do

I'm way.................... behind!

I did end up clipping a lot of leaves right after that last update a couple weeks ago.

Ended up being a pound on the nose

Everything is about back to normal now

Annums in the back are killin it. I try to prevent branches below the fork

I've got 2 aji pineapples that didn't look too happy directly under the T5's so I moved them to the back row. They really started to take off and now are kinda droopy even after a proper water. I don't recall these being so finicky, but anyone else out there have the same need to find the right sun/shade balance for the pineapples...or similar peppers?

Other updates, just about everything got potted up to my preferred 1 gallon pots. Those super tall 3.5's are for the birds in my opinion. Didn't get optimal upward growth with them and they are a pain in the pooper to get plants out of. So if anyone wants to buy 100 gently used 3.5" X 5.5" inch pots, holla!

Upward growth, I feel my plants are half as tall as I'd expect. Same soil, same lights, new tall pots and new house...so idk. Looks like others had decent height with the pots...lookin at you D3.

Hit the plants with a myco drench today. Probably a month from now and we'll start hardening off. That's it for now, hope all is well with everyone's grow. Speaking of for the birds, more snow coming.

Your plants look huge to me, it's probably a good thing I've stunted mine a few times. I just moved the led plants to the other lights and potted a lights worth of tomatoes and annuums!

My Aji Pineapple always look kinda droopy too once they get above 6 or 7 inches tall. I think it's just how they are.

Genetikx · Apr 8, 2018

Cool, haven't grown them since '14 so I forget the habit. I don't think I got them this tall indoors before either

Genetikx · Apr 8, 2018

Thanks Andy, they're doing good, super close internodal growth this year which is causing them to be shorter than I'm used to. For as many plants as you have, you better stunt them!

Looking great Ryan! I'll bet you're "Jonesing" for Spring like we are here... Lol!

Bhuter · Apr 9, 2018

C'mon, Ryan. You're killing me here. I still have hooks and you're trimming leaves. Lol. I just started way late. Your entire grow looks awesomely. You're gonna be overrun with produce this season. I hope everything goes smoothly with your grow. Looking great!

Adam my man! People have been looking for you, where's the glog? We'll look at your hooks!

Masher · Apr 9, 2018

Plants are looking great...nice work.

Some real stunners in the next few weeks it looks like.

Bhuter · Apr 9, 2018

I'm slacking this year. I'll try to start a glog but I only have about a month of growth. But one of my favorite things to do is look at other peoples' grow lists to see what they got their hands on or what they chose to grow. So I'll try to get one started to at least post my list. Thanks for the encouragement!

Feel like they've been in the house forever, but hoping for a final burst before they get evicted.

I did have to put 4 on the chopping block after BLS was confirmed by my local extension. A white fatali was 1st to show and then it spread to a few others. Think both my scotch allen boatman's caught it if I'm not mistaken. So what would any pepper farmer do...yep, started some Santa Fe's

Ool... BLS is nothing to f*** around with... glad you caught it before it could really spread. Sounds like an opportunity to plug the holes in the ranks with the Annuums of your choice. [emoji6] Do you have a fan in your grow area?

Yea think I threw down some more biker billy's and then those sante fes. I do have a 'large' fan that runs 24/7. Pretty sure the BLS stems from infected seeds since I originally had 2 white fatalis, they both had the same spots since they were yungins. I gave one to my buddy before BLS was confirmed.

Bhuter · Apr 9, 2018

I just went back and looked at your growlist. You're growing some mighty tasty peppers. I was expecting face-melting varieties and you surprised me with the more edible heat range with great flavor. I'm wondering how these Peach Scotch Bonnets from Justin (WHP) will taste.

Devv · Apr 9, 2018

Some sweet looking plants Ryan!

Sorry to read about the BLS; and I'm glad you removed them. You're so correct, most times it comes in the seeds.

Keep it green!
