Hello Earth Shepard's! Waiting patiently for some harvests to come in. So far I've been plucking away at my lemon trees to make lemonade (tried wine, but for health sake I'm sticking to lemonade) until everyone else catch up.

Invitees are: Blackberry (x2), Peach (x2), Raspberry(x2), Boysenberry(x3), Blueberry(x1), Strawberry (pulled a few and they're good, x8), Summer Crisp lettuce (still producing and tasty,x6), Tomatoes (Roma and Black Krim,x10), Apple (x1) Bell Peppers(x12) and Zucchini(x2).

As you can see, bell peppers and tomatoes make up a large part of my garden. I'm shifting more to a perrenial grow instead of annuals (peppers here are perrenials) hence the large amount of peppers. In hindsight, I should had bought more Blueberry bushes and at least another tray of strawberry starters.

Besides the strawberries and the trees, everything else has been grown from seed. Pictures are just a minor snippet of what's growing in my backyard.

Hmm I have a small 3x3 or 4x4 grow tent; heat mat, lights, in/outflow, and 2 fans circulating the air. During the winter it would be too cold to get any of my peppers to germ as the weather continously dipped below 50 at night. My grow routine would be day time during night so the peppers 'high' would be a smidgen below 60 degrees by the time I woke up.

It's the second time I seen DLI so I'll look into it for peppers

Is your in and out running constantly? You should only be exhausting air when it gets too hot or humid, and forcing air inside isn’t usually recommended except for in pretty advanced systems.

If your light isn’t putting out enough heat, anything I’ve said is pretty pointless. Even a pepper starter light should warm a 3x3 up.

Oh shit, yes my out/in flow is running constantly. Could that be the cause?
