I replaced the Fresno Peppers with Serrano Peppers on the Farm XL. These seeds were part of a seed package from Organo Republic, a farm in Florida. I bought this package of 14 different peppers seeds, 50 seeds each. I got this collection from Amazon. I ordered this collection Friday afternoon and it was delivered by Amazon Saturday at Noon. Everything else I'm planting today is from that collection. That whole collection cost $16 delivered. Added 16 ml Nutes. Serrano Peppers

You have lots of seedlings to pick from as far as thinning goes.

Well folks, I've decided to change how I photograph my plants from now on. I tried using a black backdrop behind the gardens. You can really see the plants more clearly. Today I thinned all plants down to one plant. Let me know your opinion.

The plants on this Farm XL are not performing very well. It looks like the lowest the light will go is quite a bit higher than the Farm Pluses. Hmm...

Have you tried place some foil on the sides just for them to get some more light? I have done that in the past. I even put some on the deck for it to get under leaves.

No, I don't want to do that. I'm getting a bit impatient, but Serrano's are normally pretty slow starters. I guess I shouldn't complain. I am accumulating quite a bit of additional equipment with photographic lighting and Heaven help me when the new Bounties get here. I just don't have room in my condo for extra stuff. I thought of using one of my hanging LED units, but that would be more of a tripping hazard than it's worth.
Oh well.

I hate to say it, but the Farm XL is seriously underperforming the other gardens. These were planted three days after the Hot Banana peppers were planted.

I'm starting to get a clearer picture of why I'm having trouble on the Farm XL. It looks like edema again. For sure on the Serrano, perhaps on the Hot Cherry, too. Yesterday, I put a small oscillating fan in the corner to see if that helps. The Serrano are due foe nutes on Sunday. I will replace the water, then.
I don't think there is enough air circulation in that corner/
