Rockwool cubes look like they are working for you!

It's my fort. I need to get a welcome mat with chili peppers on it.

That's a big ass tent! Don't forget to protect your eyes and wear sunglasses in there with the lights on.

Good point, I'm already going blind as it is, don't need to accelerate that. And, it's a lot taller than it needs to be, but I like the length and width. It's nice being able to walk around. I thought my wife was going to flip out, but she thinks it's cool too, so win win.

Almost 2 months exactly from the initial seeding for these guys. The slightly smaller ones are a month and a half old.

Some nice looking plants! Ready for plant out... What is the desired plant out period in Texas?

It's different for different parts of Texas, but where I live the last frost date is March 21, but I am shooting for April 1st.

Good timing! Plant out close by and plants looking ready to kick some @ss! :thumbsup:

Nice selection of peppers!

Do you prefer using the aerodarden over regular soil? I never really looked into it.

After giving it a second go I would say......, none of the above. My preferred method at this point is definitely rockwool, heatmat with the thermostat set at 85 Fahrenheit, and distilled water. I think that will be my go to from here on out.

Super excited to see the Purple Thunder Mystery and Swiss Chocolate Cross finally pop. Also, got the six in the second picture in their new rental apartments after being in the Aerogarden. Still have a few more to move over this evening.

My daughter made this string of peppers to decorate the grow tent. Hopefully it wards off all the bad juju.

Nice arrangement of peppers. Are those peppers you grew?

No, these were some I had bought a few years ago that I still have way too many of. All the ones I grow end up as hot sauce, powders, flakes, or in food.
