Nick's Mini Jalapeños in a Farm+ (TERMINATED)

[nick]

Planted 2 AG mini jalapeño pods in the left unit of a Farm Plus. Starting off with AG nutes.

These plants are so fast. The previous plant that the aphids attacked and both of these sprouted as fast as lettuce. They want to grow!

[nick]

These peppers continue to outpace any other plants I’ve ever grown. Apparently Mini Jalapeños are very happy in the Farm+.

These peppers are still twice as tall as anything else i have that was planted at the same time.

Here they were two weeks ago:



And here they are today:

Nice growth.  I find the hotter the pepper the slower it grows.  Is that just me?  Anyone else?

[nick]

I’ve pruned these significantly more than once. Lots of peppers these days.

They’re on the left in this photo.



Peppers!

These guys were terminated just two weeks ago after they'd been up for a little over a year. I pulled two pounds of mini-jalapeños off of them at their last harvest. Just for kicks I trimmed one of them back to just the thick base with a single leaf left and stuck it outside in a Kratky setup. I highly doubt it'll survive but I figured it's a fun experiment on the way out.

Here are some of the last shots I took before termination.

And a shot from the final harvest from this plant. Upper left is a much deeper container than it appears in the photo.

I need to get some more Jalapenos growing

Your jalapenos -- and all your photos -- are beautiful, Nick!

Thank you!

I love jalapeños and I also think that they love to grow in the AG units!
