So sorry, mike. Hope the bloom nutes do the trick. |

I swear in the summer plants do not do as well. I hope they turn around soon.

There is bad news here. The center plant collapsed. I had to remove it. It wasn't the bloom booster. These plants branched off low to the deck, early on. The limbs grew heavy. The weight of the limbs and competition with the other two plants caused it to collapse. Looking a them, they are probably too big for a Farm Plus. The Bloom Booster did shock the plants. All buds fell off. But new ones are all over the place. I think I'm going to keep the Bloom Booster at 6 ml until I figure out how best to use it. The NuMex Pumpkin Spice, Real Deal and the combination sweet pepper garden are due nutes today.  |

Keep us posted. Too bad about the one. I know the other are going to produce well for you

Sorry about the middle plant. I'm betting the other 2 will really appreciate that sacrifice and enjoy the space.

I just cleared out a lot, here. It looks really empty without the center plant.  |

But think about all the air flow and new growth that will happen.

Shut them down. 5-ft long branches are too much. No peppers yet. They loved the 60w light, but no peppers. These are not for a 2-ft garden.

Too bad, mike. But an interesting experiment nevertheless. 😎 |

Not that much of an experiment. I've grown these four times previously. They seem to do fine on the Ultra. The last grow got a bit big on the Bounty, as well. I didn't notice as much because the second plant died early. If you look at the first picture, that was on a Bounty. I had to prune that a lot.

mike, Have you tried the Farm XL trellis system? It's magnetic, so it's easy to install. I'm using it on the Farm Plus to support my banana and bell peppers. It held quite a bit of weight when I had tomatoes in there, too. Sorry, I confess to not reading the entire discussion. I'll go back and do it now, because I like the idea of growing lemon peppers. BTW, I learned the hard way that one has to be careful in ordering accessories for the Farm models. AG has a new, smaller Farm model, and when I ordered another trellis for my Farm Plus, I mistakenly ordered the one for the new version. It came nowhere close to fitting, so I had to go back and order the correct one.

No, I haven't needed it yet.
