Update: Month two
note: PR = production ratio = weight of HK harvest/weight of control plant harvest. Goal ratio > .5
The experiment is moving into the harvest phase now with all plants showing fruit and likely month three will show results in all plants in addition to the jalapeno peppers which have already produced 5 peppers each from the HK plant and the control pant.
It is very apparent now that the so called drainage problems are not a problem at all...in fact if anything the HK plants drain too fast and need additional water.
Month three next up.
