They've really taken off since the Mooch. They were just over 6" tall then. The tallest leaf is now at 9".

I think 4 plants may be too many. I have to start thinning the branches some.

Wow! Isn't it amazing the amount of leaf pruning needed?

Even after the prune the leaves are tighter than I like. I'm going to stick with three pepper plants going forward. Two for larger pepper plants.  |

Mike, is that density a hydroponic thing? It happens to all of my Aerogarden tomatoes and peppers. But not to the ones I grow on the deck.

I think it's a combination of hydroponic and light source, more the light source. I've seen outdoor hydroponic systems using the sun that look just like the soil based plants. I'm really looking into placement of lights for potential problems such as leaf curl and yellowing. Browning of leaves on tomato plants, too.
I'm starting to feel the more powerful light sources need to be further away from the plants. I'm getting leaf curl on bounties growing jalapenos. Plants from the same gardens that are getting leaf curl were moved to an Ultra with a lower power 30w hood before the leaf curl started. The plants on the Ultra are perfect. Same nute content, same distance from the light hood.
Go figure.

That is good information. For anyone getting the NEW Farm, It has the feature to dim the lights so even if a 60W, if you dim them it wont be at strong. But raising the lights is a great alternative.

Nice photo, Mike.
And the lights make the flowers appear such a beautiful pink.
