Ill have to take a picture on my phone tomorrow at work!I am good with a t8 or t5, grown with them for years and really love them, apart from the light penetration. Got to keep them plants small, that jalapeno in the pics is probably just about a foot tall and a foot wide. For my marijuana i top all my plants and let just four branches grow out. I top at them at the 3/4 internode and flower a week or so after, plants don't get taller than 50cm when finished. Your plant looks stretched and weak, either get some stronger light on her or i really don't know what to do, this is where sparkafire would have a vey good idea, where is he!!!!! Help!!! There might be similar threads on this so have a look at what others did. I can maybe suggest topping the very last new bit of growth off and developing the side branches and making it more bushier. You are starting to appreciate that the higher you move the flourescents from the plant the less light penetrates the growth at the bottom and the plant stretches for the light. It is a tough situation you have gotten into and see why the call for light was made!
I hope this has been helpfull in some way and maybe a few ideas to think about. Even start another seed next to this plant and raise it close to the light so you now have two plants incase the first dosen't make it. Sparkafire help us please.
As you can see with my jalepeno the right technique for the right light is so important. Dan i am so happy we have found some common ground with the peppers, i love growing them and they are so much less fussier that marijuana, hard to overwater and love being underwatered, rarely needs nutes and grows better in poorer soils. With this plant the thrip damage was getting too bad due to it being really hot outside so i pulled all of its first set of flowers off to let it recover, just flowering again now. I keep them for two generations and then as you say they get too bush and have too start a new one as there gets a point where 18w of flourescent just dosen't cut it. I have started a new seedling but that is in a peat cube at home in my veg chamber, will transplant to a pot in a few days and place it next to the one in the pic, when this one has given me two sets/generations of peppers the seedling will be just starting to flower hence a slow continuous supply of peppers. If you get too many simply leave them too dry on the side and they will store for a couple of years easily.
Now ive showed you mine dan you show me yours!

Then tell us what it is Dan Dan THSM ( the hydro store man)
Really?!?!?!? You told a guy that his plant looks like its about to fall down from being too tall and skinny from lack of light to TRANSPLANT it? Oh please do tell us how that is supposed to help? No really I WANT TO KNOW!!!
And what would that be? You didn't even give an opinion as to which is a good soil. What if he took your advice and transplanted into MG OHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO then what would he do? HUH HUH? If you are going to play you have to give complete information Dan Dan THSM
Oh this is classic Dan Dan lets talk out our ass and sound cool but confuse the person to a point of oblivion. Mix my own soil what ?what ?how am I supposed to do that? Also how do you know he had rich soil? Did you go to his house and check it?
Yes he is !!! Smart guy and means well but he had his head up his ass most of the time trying to look cool.
No reason I just missed the first post and it took me awhile to get back to this. There is a lot of shit to go over. Why do you think?
Ahh the classic and patented (by me) complement / slam. Dan Dan THSM you smell nice but your a douche. Very nice King!!
Oh I take huge offense to that Dan Dan THSM Opinions are like assholes everyone has one, but science and just good ole common sense is the deference between right and fucking up a guys plants. If I have my way you opinion's will be like assholes and no one will want to see them. Your opinions are like roaches if you show them the light they disappear.
Yeah its misleading he had light issues not nute issues or transplant issues or soil issues you just made him have them you are MISLEADING!!!!
If you have not explained this one yet I am still waiting on why this is a better solution.
And Dan Dan THSM comes riding in on his white horse so much better than the rest of us lazy people No wait is this a complement / slam he was trying out?. Dude your plants look great I am sure if you transplant ASAP and change soil by mixing your own you will have much dank to smoke but your a lazy fucker so you suck!. Nice work Dan Dan THSM !! very nice complemt /slam
And it took you 2 days to figure out what lighting you were going to use? Really?
Fuck you!! I am pointing them out to you now and I don't have to prove shit that they are ITS OBVIOUS!!! So listen more. post less and the world will be in harmony.
Well what took you so long dillweed to jump on the hey you need more light bandwagon? LOL
Oh there is always a need when people like you try to fuck up other peoples plants with fucked up information and then get prissy when you get called on it.
Oh yes they do your information is fucked up and its starting to get around you have no idea what your talking about.
Yes Dan Dan THSM you take some pics of your peppers at the hydrostore while you give advice to High school kids that think your the shit.
Dan I will tell you what if you stop posting incorrect or incomplete information on threads I will stop pointing every single thing out you post. You are a smart guy and I know you mean well but you are young and want to make an impression so you kind of post over your head most of the time. Ask a question before you post a response to a thread, that will allow you to digest the question and you will have more information to work with then having a better answer to the thread and I can stop worrying if your going to kill someones plants!!
If you do this I will call a truce take your post off my signature stop pointing out every little thing and we can move on. Deal? If not feel free to post away I will bury you in science. You know Dan you do know a lot about soil you should focus on that and get really good at it, be the expert soil man not the douche bag that thinks he knows everything. Balls in your court
