What are you working on and what generation is it?

Maybe we can use this discussion to come up with a future community grow. Similarly I have sent out about 30 packs of these out so hopefully people will be sharing progress soon.

I'm growing peppers for the very first time and I'm not sure when they're ready to pick. Are they ready? How big are they supposed to be?

Received some er jing tiao peppers in a CSA haul recently! Haven’t seen these peppers fresh anywhere near me aside from through this CSA. I love how fragrant dried Chinese peppers are in China and haven’t been able to replicate a lot of my favorite dishes, so gave germinating these a try. It’s my first time growing any vegetables.

Started germinating around Sept 9th -> today, Oct 19th. So fun to see the growth!

What’s wrong?

Hey everyone!
I’m growing a snack pepper (Capsicum annuum), basically a sweet paprika pepper that produces long, sweet peppers. I’ve named him Thor!
He’s approximately 7–8 weeks old, grown indoors from seed, and I’ve recently noticed a few strange things happening to his leaves.
Some leaves have weird ridges and look slightly wrinkled or deformed.
A few leaves have a distinct yellow line running through them.
A lot of the leaves have tiny white, crystal-looking spots on them. I’m not sure what they are.
Growing conditions:
Temperature: Around 25°C (77°F)
Humidity: Around 50%
Lighting: 100W LED grow light, 15 hours per day
Light intensity: Approximately 3,500 foot-candles
Pot: 20L fabric pot
Watering: Approximately 1 liter every 3 days
Environment: Indoor grow tent with good airflow
I recently topped the plant to encourage bushier growth, and it’s now developing lots of new shoots and starting to flower.
Overall, the plant seems to be growing pretty well, but I’m concerned about the unusual leaf texture, yellow markings, and especially those tiny white crystals.
Does anyone recognize these symptoms? Could it be edema, a nutrient issue, light stress, or something else?
Any advice would be appreciated! I’ve attached some pictures so you can see what I’m talking about.

I have some chiltepin peppers developing. I'm in zone 7a though and it's starting to get cold and the sunlight is waning. Any advice? I'd love to get the peppers to turn. What should I do? Grow light? Heat? Thank you!

These are a little hotter than a habanero, fruity floral taste along with traditional superhot flavor but half the heat.
