Today I planted two hot peppers.  One is the AG Jalapeno but placed into a Parks pod.  I also have my Sweet Heats from Parks.  As to can see there is a short plant with a tall.  Hence the name of this thread.

These will be growing in my Bounty. 

More when something happens.

Stupid question but what do you mean that you put your AG Jalapeno  into a Parks pod? Isn't the AG Jalapeno   already in a pod? 

[Shawn]

@karenr, yes they are in a pod already.  I removed the seeds and put them into a Parks pod/sponge.  I like them better so when possible I do it.

[Shawn]

I THINK I messed up my AG Jalapenos by pruning them incorrectly.  I was not paying attention and just snipped.  mike , do you think it will be ok?  If not should I just pull it and start fresh?

Also my Sweet Heats are doing well.

[mike]

This will still produce OK. The ones you prune are the plants that continue with a main stalk growing upward. When they naturally branch out, they are pretty good on their own. Of course, I've had branches that grow horizontally until they grow out of the lighted area. Peppers don't grow in the unlighted areas. Those branches need to be trimmed. (outside of the lighted area)

Thanks mike.  This plant grew with a three way split.  No real vertical shout as you mentioned.  I am so mad I did not take a picture first and that I did it while but really paying attention.  Oh well live and learn.  Now to see how it does.

[Shawn]

Sweet Heats have tons of flowers and peppers beginning.

They look so good!

In my dreams I will have beautiful plants like those someday.

Lookin' good, girl.

I have to say that I am extremely disappointed in the AG Jalapeno plant I am growing.  While it has many flowers (that are being pollinated), there is not one pepper forming.  It is 98 days now.  In contrast the Sweet Heats are doing wonderful.  That plant is FULL with peppers.

I will give it another week and if there are still not peppers on the jalapeno I will remove it.

Any ideas on why?  Should I report it or just let it be?  Maybe something wrong with the seeds?  I know the temps are stable, the nutes are fine as is the mooch. 

[mike]

What are the climate conditions? Is it cool where they are growing?

[Shawn]

I have the twp Bounty's in the same corner as they have been for four years.  The temps stay a steady 70 degrees.  There is not breeze, no sun shining in on them, no windows or doors.  I am stumped. 

[mike]

Then you shouldn't be having issues. I too have had problems with the kit jalapenos. Some kits were great. Others were just unproductive. I started buying jalapenos from Park Seed, but my health concerns stopped me from testing them out.

[Shawn]

I will start some custom Jalapenos I guess

Absolutely! Email them if you're not in a hurry. They will get back to you and will definitely send replacements. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Tons of Sweet Heats waiting to ripen

NICE! Very nice.
