Hello Everyone, I'm from western Washington and this is my 4th year growing hot peppers, and my first year growing super hots. This year has been FULL of rain.. So. I bought 2 8X6 greenhouses from Lowes. I figured there's no way my plants would produce the way the weathers been.. It's a 20degree difference rain,cloud or shine. I have great shade cloth to cover them from afternoon sun incase the weather is above 75 which has happened once so far this year
here's some pictures..

Here's the inside of one of them.. These pepper plants I bought from Jim Duffy. I ran out of time to start some superhot seeds so my last resort was online shopping and I'm very happy to have found them online. They are not as big as I'd like them to be at his stage in the year but I'm planning to overwinter so any progress with them will make me happy

My other greenhouse is housing 2 fataliis, red scotch, thai dragon, ring of fire cayenne, serrano del sol, lemon drop, carribean red hab, hab, long slim cayenne, and a chocolate hab. They are much bigger than the super hots, my cayenne has 5 huge pods already, along with my scotch, cay slim, and the fataliis have a good 20 blooms on each plant. I looked up my photos from 3 years ago and my current plants are still FAR behind what they were doing when the sun was out then..
I'm also growing raspberries, golden raspberries, 4 heirloom tomatoes, 5types of strawberries, herbs, 5 types of honeysuckle, 5types of rare passion flowers, 10 clematis's, cherries, onions, garlic, blueberries, gooseberries, lace vine and 5 types of lily's. I've been busy lol.

I have a couple questions.. its my first year greenhousin and I was wondering if anyone had tips on that and secondly, because the weather around here has been $%$%@*%*/... I'm wondering what are the best lights to use to keep them growing when October comes along.. The Ghouse's will fit in my garage and I'd like to hang lights in there come first frost to keep them somewhat healthy and producing..(I'm really doubting their production this summer judging by the weather so far) Grow lights are something I am NOT familiar with so I would really appreciate advice from those whom have used em.. thank you for your time, Brandon.
