You may be right, I can’t tell from the pic. I’ll have to look in person later. I hope you’re right! 3 months and 4 days...

Late yesterday (Friday) I noticed significant leaf curl, especially on the Italia. I had fed them on Thursday appx 10 mg of AG nutes. I also added maybe 4-5 mg of calcium supplement. They sure are reacting, but not how I intended. Should I not have added the supplement at the same time?

Depending on my projects. I have added it at the same time as nutes and another project would be days later.

Well I still have leaf curl, but the plants otherwise still look healthy and the peppers are coming along well. I have a fantastic 8 peppers on the left Costa Rican and 7 on the right Italia. Pretty good for 2 plants in one machine of non-skinny peppers. Costa Rican Sweet  Italia  And look at at this crazy guy all horizontal   |

The size of those. I may have to get me some of those seeds to try. How tall do these get?

If you were to harvest one when it starts changing colors, would it continue to ripen as long as it's not refrigerated, or does harvesting it halt the process?

That’s a good question, and one I’m not sure of. I do think at the least harvesting slows it down, but I don’t know whether it halts it. Im thinking that since it’s no longer being fed it has less energy to develop the sugars and continue its process. |

A little more color change on the Costa Rican. Now including a second one.  And the barest change beginning on the Italia.  |

Who is the vendor on these? I will look for you Sorry for the delay, Shawn. The Costa Rican pepper is from Burpee, and the Italia pepper is from Johnny’s Seeds. I’ve had great luck with each. |

Beautiful! Are you using the trellis or any other form of support?
