Grew this bad boy all the way from a seed.
Congrats homie! That plant looks so, so healthy and happy.
If you clip it now and add a little nitrogen rich fertilizer (blood meal is cheap and organic) to promote leafy growth then supplement with a high phosphorus fertilizer in.~6 weeks to promote flowering, by summertime you will be swimming in peppers!
This guy's hydroponic (plus :im-vegan:) so it's just liquid fertilizer. I got lazy for a while with changing the water and I think it suffered for it, but it should be good going forward.
This will be my first time eating food I've grown other than herbs so it' pretty exciting.
Oh worrrrrd hydroponics is rad as hell and so is being vegan! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so presumptuous I just got really excited lol
Eating food you've grown never stops feeling awesome btw. End of summer before last, I landed on about half a gallon of hot sauce from fermenting jalapenos and Thai chilies I grew and no other sauce compares to that memory. Hoping this summer will work out similarly with tomatoes, habaneros and banana peppers.
Did you grow herbs hydroponically as well? I had a hell of a time trying to grow them in soil where I live, the heat was too gnarly and the bugs were too numerous for anything but basil and rosemary to survive in my garden. I was thinking about starting indoor/hydroponic growth when I move next month.
The herbs were just a planter of basil on the windowsill, nothing complicated.
