Usually, one feeding of equal parts brown, green and red stuff during the transition from growth mode to blossoming mode.

I’ve done the one transition feeding so next time will be the early bloom phase combination. 7.5, 2.5 and 10 if I read their site correctly. Should I do a dump and refill when I’m switching formulas? |

They’ve all got flowers now, and I’ve actually remembered to pollinate them this time, lol.  |

Thanks, Dawn. After I wrote that I then saw your in-depth tutorial, so yesterday I dumped all the old water and nutes. I started with the CaliMagic, then the Micro, etc.
At least 2 of these are going to be transplanted into an EarthBox outside (definitely the big Anaheim for sure), but maybe all 4 to free up the machine. My growing season is long here so they’ll do fine outside well into Fall. And beyond.

I transitioned when I saw first buds.
Oops...I responded to an old post.

These have been sitting outside on the patio for a few days in their basin, so they should be hardened off now. I’ll transplant them today. All four to one EB.

Well I did have these transplanted outside, and they were exceedingly unhappy. I did not supervise the removal of the plants from the deck so do not know if the extreme wilt is because of excessive root damage/tearing or simply transplant shock.  This one didnt make it  This one did absolutely fine, though. It was the smallest plant, and I presume had a correspondingly smaller root ball, so perhaps it suffered less broken roots upon removal.  A couple days days later and they still looked dreadful, even worse, but I at least propped them up.  But finally I realized that there was in fact new teeny growth on them, amidst all the wilted mature leaves. So I proceeded to cut all the suffering leaves off.  Pile of cuttings  And what I was left with appear to be healthy, though skinny, plants!   |

YIKES! I know that was not expected. But now after all the trimmings they look happier.

If I had to lose one at least it was the least interesting. It was the Banana pepper. What remains are Mike’s seed, the Gypsy and the one I forget what it is. I hope they kick into gear now and start flowering.
