Peppers

Planted early under grow lights and they are coming in hot!


Zone 5b, sunshine #4 perlite/coco/silicon, GH Flora Series 3-part liquid nutrient set. Ro buddy for water since my water is very hard. Started bell peppers indoors in November. Started all others in February. Potted up to 5-15gal before moving outdoors to get bulky plants. Also have a few bonsai kept in smaller pots. Planted out a couple dozen into the ground.

Got 4 harvests from my bell peppers since November, about 45 peppers each, though the red peppers did not get very big for their 4th set. I'm hoping the 5th set is larger before fall, but they look like they are starting to get tired.

Picked 2 sets of cayennes already for making dried sugar packed candies. About 40 more are almost ready to pick.

The rest are coming sporadically, though those I potted up earliest produced their fruits the earliest:

Jimmy nardellos, lipstick, orange jalapeño, acongua, banana, cayenne, bell peppers, long red and long brown sweet from grocery store peppers, shishito, black hungarian
