Plant update

Plants have been coming along really well! Also starting to harden off this week, temperatures are getting up to 80 at the beginning of next week, and just waiting on the nighttime temperatures to average out warmer then they should be close to ready to go out. Have lightly sunburned a couple, but they are doing great otherwise. Also made the mistake of planting sweets, and hots all at once, so the size difference is pretty significant lol.
Some sweet peppers, bottom left and right two are caribbean reds.

Sweets left, mostly hotter stuff on the right.

Habanero blooming

Cayennes, sweets, hots, jumbled up.

Ghosts, 7 pots, black pearls, etc

Sweets, mild jalapenos, different habanero varieties, some 7 pots, scorpions etc.

I was really wanting to get a few more transplanted into bigger cups, but at this point in time with the weather finally starting to break I'll just leave them as is. If the weather keeps up, I'll be able to plant in a week or two. Only picture I missed were my habaneros.. But that's because they are just way too big and have been taking them out with tomatoes.

Well it's all thanks to most of the folks here to be honest. If it weren't for people like you all, I wouldn't have had many of the plants in the first place lol. And the medium, for a few was what I had left over as far as potting soil, it was a cheap bag, but mixed it with some compost, and a little lime mixed into the soil. I regret using the bag of potting soil I did, but the plants don't seem to mind it. The other half is a few different things, it's part miracle gro garden soil, compost, and miracle gro potting soil. I don't really use miracle gro that much, and I think I maybe used a 1/4 strength once or so on all of them. And some that are still in their original trays, are just straight miracle gro potting soil. Things haven't given me any issues, any that's been had has probably been lack of my knowledge.

Some are still a little crowded, but since I've been hardening them off, I'll just leave them be and get them in the ground as soon as night temperatures are okay. All of the daytime temps have averaged out in the 70's, with occasionally dropping into the high 60's but it's getting close to time!

Again, it's all thanks you all!
