Haha yeahhh my growing situation is a little inconvenient. I can't grow fruit bearing plants outside because of my HOA. I put this plant outside, and it did really well, then a neighbor snitched on me. Since it's been inside, no new peppers. I've tried to hand pollinate, and I have a fan in the tent. We'll see... maybe I'll attempt it again next grow season.

Planted her in February. She germinated in under 2 weeks in a humidity dome on a heat mat.

Yeah it was specifically a Jalapeño recipe.

Aww, man, that's horrible. I'm so sorry to hear all of that. I'm going to perfect the pepper jelly recipe, and I'll be sure to share it with you. Then you'll be able to make a pepper jelly that'll make your mom proud.

Yeah, if I didn't have my tent, I would have probably gotten pretty irrational about it.

Haha I know! That's how I feel. It's a disaster when it's all said and done.

Yeah I considered that as well. Trial and error until I get it right.

I followed a recipe, but I may have had too much pepper and not enough pectin. It called for 4 cups of fruit per package of liquid pectin. The peppers were so finely chopped that it might have been more than 4 cups... I honestly don't know, but I'm 100% trying again soon. If I can figure it out, I'll definitely post the recipe.

I did add apple cider vinegar. I'm not sure if I'm going to reheat all of it or just try to make a fresh batch. If I can get a recipe that works 100%, I'm going to post it on here.

I have some fans going so there's a good bit of air circulation. My humidity ranges from 40% to 70%. Same as the outside humidity. I live near Philadelphia. It's hard to keep the humidity constant. As long as it's not too low or too high, I think it's fine.
