After cleaning and sanitizing my unit. I replanted the Godfather in here. The Godfather was originally planted on 05/04/20 and is doing well. This morning I am trying a Jalapeno AGAIN but using a different seed. Machine: Bounty Elite (50W) Seed: Jalapeno Early
Nutes: 9ml (since I have the Godfather in there)
Sponge: Park Sponge.

Shawn,
I have 2 Jalapeno M pepper plants in my Harvest. One is very small, about 8 inches tall. It has about 10 peppers on it now. It was planted in a park sponge and sprouted about 2 weeks later than my larger plant in the same unit. The plant is healthy, just small. The second Jalapeno M plant is about 18 inches tall. I have it growing around the unit and have another light that illuminates all of the branches that go beyond the AG lights. I think the one plant is naturally smaller because it did not get as much light initially when the second plant was growing at a much faster pace. It worked out since both plants are very productive.

Yes, those are good peppers. I have grown the M successfully in the past  |

I think the M is supposed to be mild, but they still have a nice kick.

I think the M is supposed to be mild, but they still have a nice kick. The vendor I get them from considers them a medium heat. Still good. I have a variety of different peppers. I have been growing at least 3 peppers plants at a time for the last 3+ years LOL My husband loves them and I cook with them a lot too. |

That's awesome. How many AG's do you have running concurrently? I have had basil growing in my harvest since January. I kind of wish it would die so I can start some more peppers myself!

Right now I have 5 running. I have another 5 in their boxes. I had to put many away when I had my foot surgery last year. I have not taken them back out YET. I will eventually. I had even more but sold several and ditched a few but kept pieces for parts. |

Wow! That's crazy! You can do a lot with that many units! I hope that you have recovered from your surgery! If I had 10 units, I would be experimenting with a lot of different projects. Since it is summer, I will focus more on my outdoor garden. I have 30 tomato plants outside and 30 pepper plants too.

mike or @cornne . You both have grown the Godfather pepper before. My plant is only 4" tall and had buds which I will trim off. However where should I top this? Should I top this? HELP! Please .... As you can see I removed those huge leaves already. Here are two pictures.

Those leaves are awfully close together vertically. I wouldn't top it yet.

The Godfather is really taking off! It's a beautiful plant.
Hope the little one catches up to it!

It should. It is a month behind as far as planting goes and if I remember it was slow to start from past projects.

Godfather on Left, Early Jalapeno on Right  Godfather pepper (just one of many)  mike , this Jalapeno has a thin base. It also already split into two branches. I know in the past this one was larger but should I leave it or cut?  |
