Here are my first peppers. The first picture is the beginnings of peppers in the California Wonder They're all over the plant, but this one was right in front. Those upper right leaves aren't yellow, BTW. It's the lighting. It's definitely a slower pepper-grower than the Tequila Sunrise, which has it's first fully formed pepper, at almost two inches long. It's in the center of the second picture. I pinched off the last cat-mangled leaf to take this image. It was hiding behind it. Sneaky pepper! They'll get much larger than that, between 4-6 inches. The CW is a full size bell pepper that you can eat green or fully ripened at red. So far, no buds have fallen, and I don't see any end rot on any of them. They're so cute.

Lots of new peppers, some about an inch now on the TS! Lots of babies on the CA. They're starting to "look" like a bell pepper, but are much slower growers than the TS. It's interesting to see how different varieties grow.

Agree. If I’m not mistaken the bell type peppers take longer to develop their fruit. Your TR’s are more carrot shaped, yes? Can’t remember.

Yes, they're kind of like an elongated jalapeno. My longest is about 3 inches now, maybe.

Lots! I don’t know that the flower detritus matters. Only if it is a really dense environment would I worry. And in that case I’d definitely remove any and all dead stuff. Even half-dead stuff. Under those circumstances I’d keep things super clean.

Did I mention in the Fairy GAL how much I love the Flora Series plus CALiMAGic? If you missed it, I'll say it again. I HIGHLY recommend it! Amazing stuff. G-d, I love these plants! Tons of big peppers on both. I shouldn't have taken so close pics, but I wanted to show how big the oldest ones are. Doing my happy dance!

Some of these are huge, like 6 inches long and an inch thick! They still need to color up to their pretty orange color.

You know, I had never before wanted to fuss with the 3 series anything (because you know me), but you have had such incredible success (well above average) in several projects that I’d be willing to try. But, I always forget where to look on the forum for someone’s project for dosage etc. Is there a section where you can post your recommendation and dosage? You probably already brought this up and I forgot, and I apologize if that’s the case.

There may be something there.. and if not hopefully we can get it there.

It's actually on the bottles, as well as charts on their site, and a PDF with the recommended values plus a printable blank chart you can use for your own gardens and a cool online Feedchart Generator. I use the three Base Nutrients at the top and the CALiMAGic. Amazon sells the kits, which is nice.

Wow that’s great that they provide such guidance and support! Thanks for the links. And thanks for directing me to the nutes section, Shawn - I did find Dawn’s description/recommendation there.
Ok, I’m taking the plunge!

That's great! I think you'll be pleased. You use varying amounts of them depending on the stage of growth, which makes sense rather than a OSFA approach.
