These are my next to be grown. I was really happy with the ones I grew in the past.

I think my highest yield of Jalapenos was from Jalapeno M seeds. That was in 2014/15. I used two Ultra bases and suspended an Apollo light from the ceiling. This was that setup at 35 days.  |

WOW, I remember seeing those pictures on the old forum. I had great yields with my first AG plant, the M's and the Earlys. But also either the bulgarian carrot or Fresno. I think my Big Jims too.
I need to go back to the oldies but goodies.

That is fast. The peppers I have grown have taken 9-10 days to germinate.

You seem to grow a lot of peppers! You must like a lot of spicy food.

I still have two Bounties to fill. They will grow Yucatan White Habanero peppers and NuMex Sandia Select peppers. I also have two Ultras to fill. I think I will try the NuMex Big Jim pepper on one, and a Sweet Jalapeno on the other. I'm reserving one Ultra for Peas for the GAL.
As for eating a lot of spicy food, I prefer to think of my meals as having a lot of flavor. The big reason for all the peppers at the same time is my personal stash of home made hot sauce is nearly completely depleted. I'm planning on a variety of sauces to be made after Thanksgiving.

Phew! I woke up an hour after I went to bed to a hum coming from the Bounty cart. The pump was humming. The water was warm, too. I replaced the pump with the spare I had. It was still humming, and now it wasn't pumping water. I went back to bed.
When I got up, I cleaned an old Ultra basin. I replaced it and no more hum and it is pumping water. I need to get some spare pumps.

Thanks to your earlier advice when I was having problems with too-warm water, I also keep a spare pump on hand!

I learned my lesson and keep a few pumps on hand now.

I removed the smallest jalapeno plants from each standard jalapeno garden to give the best plants space to grow. In this case, the center plant. The two removed jalapeno plants were moved to an Ultra. These plants are at 22 days.  |

I love the little "crown" on the one on the right.

I am experiencing some leaf curl on this garden. Not as pronounced as the Early Jalapenos, but it is there. I dumped the water and gave the refill 7 ml Nutes.
