     Wow, dude. I can't wait to see your plants in July. Lookin' pro fo' sho'! Is that a paper lantern in the second pic in post #52?

yeah i'm 90% sure lol.

yeah i'm 90% sure lol.

 
     Mine look weird like that, too - not really chinense-like at all. It's my first year growing them, so I'm curious to see what they end up looking like.

My plants really want to get  the heck out of these cups. I'm going to buy soilmix ingredients today so i can move them up soon. 

 
here's why i've been busy... Building a fence!

 

[blorvak]

I need to build a fence this year too. Too much rain so far... that's my official excuse!
 
Plants are looking great!

 

[Devv]

Plants continue to look fantastic! One helluva job sir!
 
I like the fence, it's looking good, and want one around my garden to keep the wind at bay. Any chance you'll be in Tejas this fall? I sure could use the help.   I have a wood shop and intend to rip 2x6's in half to use as planks. I'm sure that wet wood will eat up bandsaw blades!
 
Keep doing what you're doing, you're on your way to having a great season.

had some great weather so i stuck them in my front yard while i was building fence today.
 

Oh and took off a bunch of flowers

Glad you got to put them in the sun!
 
Happy gals

  Plants are looking really good. Like you, I'm trying to make it a few more weeks. I started mine December 26th this year. I may have to move that back a week or 2 next year. Keep posting pics!

i was using hotglue to keep my LED testing rig together because i didn't want it to be permanent. Wellllll it got pretty hot and the glue let go and it fell on a couple of the plants.. So guess i gotta actually use some screws and start my test over.
I just germed some reapers i got from DoubleBassPlease on reddit.com/r/hotpeppers so good timing... just gotta finish my fence, rebuild led lights, and make my 5-1-1 mix.
 
1/3 finished

 
Heres a pic of my led light supplies.

 
and my soilmix stuff
