Looking good juanito! I've finally been able to put those lights you suggested to use, by the way. Seems they work pretty well for you. I hope to get the same results

Looking great! I hope your SB7J's turn out just the way you want them to. I love that variety and have one going again this year. Nice, lush pepper carpet in the last pic. Awesome!

Will be trying to plant out everything this weekend. Moved most of the plants outside in the shade to harden a bit yesterday.
 
 
my JPGS are always kinda wavey

 
normal chinense leaves on SB7J

Beautiful! I have the same experience with JPGS being wavy. This year, I'm growing the California Reaper by Tyler Farms. Supposed to be JPGS x reaper and result in reaper shaped peach pods. I'm wondering if this isn't just a different pheno of JPGS because this plant looks identical to it. Nice looking plant, though.

Your SB7J are killin' it! Thick foliage! Both varieties look fantastically. Right on track for plant out. Great job!
