I will be putting Vendor against Vendor tomorrow August 12, 2018. Seed against Seed ... Now we can monitor how two different vendor seeds compare to each other. In my best boxing announcer Voice ....... Innnnn the Left Pooodddd we have ..
Machine: Bounty
Side: Left Pepper: Sweet Heat Vendor: Park Seed Sponge: Park Seed Nutes: AG Seeds PP: 3
Description:Compact Plant that grows between 10" and 12". Though classified as a hot pepper, Sweet Heat scores a tongue-friendly 329 on the Scoville heat scale. Sweet Heat also wins fans with its quick maturity. This pepper goes from transplanting to harvesting in under 2 months, which is amazing for any variety. And it packs 65% more Vitamin C into its fruit than most others, so you get an extra pop of nutrition with every bite!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Machine: Bounty Side: Right Pepper: Sweet Heat Vendor: Burpee Sponge: Park Seed Nutes: AG Seeds PP: 3 Description:
A perfectly calibrated blend of sweetness and heat, with a big nutritional bonus. Red peppers boast 65% higher vitamin C than average peppers. 10" tall plants bear 3.5" x 1.5" fruit in 52-56 days. Gentle heat at 329 Scoville units when green; 235 when red.

This got me thinking. Looking at the descriptions, I wonder if each vendor has their OWN seeds OF are they getting sourced out seeds  |

Although angled, here are the Sweets on the ends and I have some Cilantro and Basil growing in here as well which will be moved eventually.  |

I'm looking forward to seeing how these do side by side. I wouldn't be surprised if they all get their seeds from the same central source. I think I got mine from Reimer, but I'm not sure without pulling out my packets. I got most of my seeds from them, but I did get a few from Burpee. I'll be starting a Sweet Heat in the Harvest when I take down the Fairy Garden...soon.

4 days in and looking into the pods (can't get a clear picture) but there is green growth in them both.

Same germination rate, so far. Wouldn’t it have been a bummer if one of them didn’t germinate because it was a bad seed and you had to replant it? It would’ve thrown your whole comparison off. You’d have to replant both, I guess.

BOTH Sweets have at least (that I can see without removing the label) one in each and both of the plants have the top up over the labels.
My phone is charging so I can not get nay pictures yet.

The Burpee is a tad taller and appears (looking at the centers of the leaves) will be the first to set real leaves. |

It will be interesting to see what differences, if any, we all have with the different vendor's seeds.
Looking good!

Day 14
Nutes added. They both stand pretty close if not the same height. The only thing I noticed is that both seeds germinated in the Burpee, only one in the Park. HOWEVER, I found a pepper seed next to the machine so it may have been the other Park Seed.

They almost look like clones of each other.
