The Admiral continues to stand tall.  Compared to the Sweet Heats next door it looks very tall. Especially since it was started a week after those.  Not many flowers yet, which is fine. Not expecting anything from it for a while yet. R&R’ed yesterday. Fed with GH Flora nutes in a 2:2:2 ratio. |

R&R for these plants today. Fed with GH Flora series nutes in a 2:2:2 ratio. The Admiral has some new side shoots thanks to the FIM pruning.  The Mini Jalapeño continues to grow ever so slowly. The Admiral may be fighting it for nutes, but I think it’ll be okay. Still looking awkward from the pruning. Tiny little side shoots have started to appear though.  Can I ask what the tube is? Is it just a syphon or is it an external water system of some sort? |

Hi @aerogrow. I am sure Nick will answer correctly but I "think" that he may be draining the water from the Farms to do his Rinse and Refill (R&R)

Yes, Shawn is right. That's a hose that comes with all of the models in the Farm family. You can insert it into the center of the unit and instead of circulating water through the deck, the pump will send it down the hose allowing you to drain it. It's a nice feature that prevents having to carry those 2-gallon tubs around when it's time for a rinse & refill. It takes a little while, but I find that allows me time to mix my GH Flora nutes while it's draining. |

Well I hadn’t planned on pruning all of my plants this morning, but grabbing my shears to remove a couple of leaves on my tomato plant turned into everything getting pruned back. The Admiral was no exception.  I’ve had to raise the lights for this guy twice in the last week. I knew a couple of peppers had started growing, but I was surprised to see quite a few flowers hiding behind the big leaves I lopped off. And then there was this pepper.  |

The Admiral is standing tall these days. I’ve raised the lights twice since my last post.  There are now three sizable peppers growing with several others developing.  |

Big peppers! How exciting! I’ve never grown bells. Even outside.

The Admiral continues to sail along smoothly. I did some serious pruning over the weekend. Several new peppers were located in the process.    15ml of Mooch was also added after the pruning. |

The Admiral is by far the tallest plant I’ve grown. The lights on the Farm+ are almost completely raised now. The first pepper that showed up on the plant is finally getting some yellow. Won’t be long now!   |

These look great. How is the Admiral doing now? I imagine it's huge by now.
I'm really interested in your Farm grows because I have a Farm Plus and a regular Farm on the way right now. I plan on stacking them here in my office and seeing what I can do with them.

You’re not wrong. The Admiral continues to grow strong and steady. I’ve got three peppers that are looking just about ripe and ready for harvest. The main stalk on this plant is so thick now.  |
