They look great. How tall are yours? I think they are about 12" tall at the sides. I'll measure them when I prune them in a few days.  |

Shawn , in the Sweet Heat photo ( link), the lights are at 13". The tall growth at each side is 17". They need pruning!

Yesterday my Sweet Heats received the pruning they deserved long ago. I'm hoping that they will forgive me, and continue to produce peppers for a while. The pruning was rather drastic and brutal, but they were being pulled over by the weight of the peppers and leaves on the branches that were growing outside the lighted area. After taking off the tall branches, I was able to work a trellis around them to support the stems. This is what they looked like about 10 days ago: aerogardenaddicts.com/post/56690Two of the peppers are turning red, and are nearly ready to harvest!   |

Tried one today. It was sweet, but had no heat at all. Tasted good anyway! |

Yes, the Sweet heat was red, though maybe it wasn't fully ripe. These are definitely ripe! Photo taken 10/24/22. I'll let you know how they taste.  |

Day 105. There are still some full-sized green peppers on the plants. Now to see whether they will produce another crop!   |

Wonderful Peppers! I need to grow these again now that I have seeds from a different vendor.

Yesterday I pruned the Sweet Heats to get them ready for the next crop. The plants produced another 9 fully ripe peppers after the previous photo. There are at least two big green peppers on the left plant now (visible underneath the canopy, at trellis level).   |
