Update....probably too soon to draw any firm conclusions from the light switch, but I did follow through with changing to the 400W
hps. The (not so good) pic attached is showing a few of the peppers from one of my bolivian rainbows. They are almost all purple now. My lone surviving thai sun (the little guy that got damaged but was making a comeback ended up a midnight snack for one of the cats
, so I'm down to just one now) has started a pepper as well. My banana pepper plants continue to simply drop flowers, the lone bloom that started to turn into a pepper hasn't progressed any at all. My peruvian purple now has open blooms on it as well as my rooster spurs, but no peppers going on those as of yet (but no flower drops yet either). Rest of the plants all have blooms starting on them, but no open flowers yet.
