Final count, 89 in 1 gallon pots and 48 in 10 gallon pots, all outside. Tent is down for this year and put away. Tomorrow everything is getting a good dose of cal mag and liquid Microlife Ocean Forest fertilizer for now. Pics probably tomorrow. Maybe a list of everything growing, depending on how much motivation I have.

Looking good!

MicroLife looks promising.

Here's a small update on some of the plants producing pods and just how huge these things are getting. Some didn't upload in order unfortunately.

Your plants look real happy! Any plans on using a shade cloth? It'll be hitting 100's soon and I'm concerned about the Chinense peppers. I'd like to get a shade cloth but I might just move them to a shady spot where they'll only get 2-3 hours morning sun.

It's on my very long list of things to do, lol.

Had a few branches break off one of my T-Rex Chocolate plants after a storm the other day. Here are a couple ripe ones and a few that will hopefully ripen on the window sill.

The top one came off one of the Andy's King BOC. It should be orange, but looks red to me. The bottom two are KS Lemon Starburst.

100° + days for a couple weeks straight have made watering these guys my job after work every day for about an hour and a half every day after work. I have all the pieces for an auto drip system but haven't had the time to set it up. Hoping to get that and the shade cloth put up over everything and every pot mulched. At about 50% with mulch and it's helping them a lot.

Some of them are huge yet setting nothing due to the heat. I'm only feeding them bloom phase general hydroponics mix/cal magic at this point. Tons of flowers on some just can't set until these temps get down. Hoping the shade cloth helps some with that.

So, please pray for cooler weather, lol.

Here's some pictures from this evening.

That last one is a Tepin X Lemon Drop from Downriver.

Picked a few today. Orange Peppadew, T-Rex Yellow, Big Black Mama, Sugar Rush Peach (I guess, they were supposed to be stripey) Hallows Eve, Andy's King BOC, Judy's Brown Moruga, Ja Mushroom, Pockmark Orange, and a big Peach Miasma.

Do you notice any varieties doing better than others in this heat? All my peppers stop setting new fruit as far as I can tell.

The Padrons from Paul G, but all of them are suffering from blossom end rot.

I started to work on the drip system and take a talley of which ones were setting fruit and what wasn't. Hoping I can get it done today. A bit overwhelming.
