For the month I was able to grow them this year, I definitely agree. They do seem to grow very fast

btw thanks for the seeds from the train 

 

[juanitos]

so i only had like 10 primos germ out of 100...
so i gave in and bought some cpr and reaper seeds from butch

 

[Coup]

That is quite the collection of healthy-looking sprouts! You got a small farm running there.

 

[juanitos]

my peppers are growing quite slowly, i want to blame the leds.
i moved them 8in away instead of like 15 so maybe that will help.
its so hard to tell with the long game, ok change something now wait 3 weeks to see if its working or not.
 
they are perfectly fine, just slow. none of the big fat chinense leaves yet makes me sad.

 

[bpiela]

I really like the varieties you are choosing to sell this year. 

 

[chocolatescotchbonnet]

the LEDs seem to work great

 

[juanitos]

Gave everyone a dose of great white myco, beneficial microbes! 

 
sea of green

 
hairy manzano

 

[pepperguy1]

   Juanitos your Glog rocks.

 

[chocolatescotchbonnet]

have fun transplanting.....lmao!

 

[bpiela]

Juanito, I was reviewing your glog from 2015 where you topped a tray of baccatum peppers.  I think you also stripped most of the leaves off.  How long did it take the plants to recover?  How far down the plant did you "top"?  Any chance that you could include a short video on how you topped and stripped a plant?  I looked at your videos from that time and I just saw you reviewing the growth after the cutting but not any actual cutting.  Any info is greatly appreciated!

 

[Blister]

Wow still amazed at how big you've gone this year!
