Nice!. Great looking plants there. Lucky you getting to harden off this early. I have lows of 32 this week at night, so no go for me yet.

That is awesome. What kind of lights do you use and how much money would you say it adds to your electricity bill?

Dave, You have LOTS of peppers there and they all look very nice. And no doubt they should be hardened off by now.
For one I get a lot of encouragement from your success in growing peppers in Heat Zone 1. That is also what my heat zone is up here in the Northwest WA area (East meets West). The next 10 days we will have a heat wave here, highs reaching over 80F.

Good Luck and Happy Plant Out to All.

Very nice looking plants! Good luck with the season :p

Are they staying out 24 hrs a day, rain or shine? Whats their final home gonna be?

I bring them in and out for the first 5 days. Then watch the weather. Lows have been in the mid to high 40s but the peppers seem to take in without a problem. Its getting into 50s this week with some rain expected so Im going to play it by ear as far as protection goes the got rained on once with no ill effects so unless it pours Ill probably just leave them out.I still have 160 plants inside that I started later. One thing at a time.
My lights are just cheep T50s from Lowes and probably cost @ $60 a Mounth in electric Id love to have some LEDs to lower cost but it was not in the budget Next year. I also need a GH also Next Year. Im going to sell some plants to recoup some plus I have extra just for that. Fert.,lime, etc. Is my next expense so selling a few will help there also I dont expect any ripe peppers till mid Aug. so payday is a ways off. Thank God I have a job.
50 plants are Reepers so theres going to be hot in my town this summer. Combined with 50 Chocolate Morugas and 70 Doughlahs I dont see any lack of capsicum in my future
Still 2+ weeks before planting out .The plot is already tilled,limed and ready to go. I also have 3 trash cans full of 5-1-1 for container growing. No turning back now.

How many lights do you use?

I have 8 sets of 2
