Jalepeno at 6 months and vacation survival
12:01 am in Completed Window Farms, posts with pitcures! by Tony
Not much happening since I have been concentrating on the outdoor garden, but I thought I would give everyone an update on the Jalepeno. It’s 6 months old and producing a pepper every few weeks. Back in June I was a little worried about it when we went on vacation for 2.5 weeks. I filled the 2.5 gallon resevoir to the tippy top and set the timer to only run for 2 hours in the morning. I use rockwool grow cubes that hold the moisure like a sponge. When I got back it was still alive and still pumping. The resevoir was down maybe 4 inches. It is the only plant in the WF and peppers don’t use a lot of water it turned out well.

Looks great – may have to move it down to the bottom of the column soon though. The ceiling is getting close!
Very nice! I have been quite unlucky in attempting to germinate my jalapeno seeds thus far.
@tylerl Peppers always seem like they take the longest time to germinate for me as well. Weeks will go by and then they’ll surprise you.
