Growing well but not close to ripe
I went through them all and thinned them by nearly half. I was able to keep nearly all of them under lights by moving some other varieties away from the lights. They varied in height from 9"-12". All have lots and lots of flowers and most have set some fruit. I don't see many flowers dropping off, but they seem to remain flowers a long time without setting or falling off. However, maybe I just haven't paid attention to how long it normally takes from flower to fruit (kind of like the watched pot that never boils).
A few photos (I don't know how to insert text between photos on here, so I'll describe them first):
Photo 1 is the tallest of the bunch - 12".
Photo 2 is the shortest - 9".
Photo 3 is the fruit that appears the farthest along and will probably ripen first.
Photo 4 - Most seem to have large clusters of flowers in a place or two - this one has flowers everywhere.
Those that have set fruit look like they will be similar in shape - round with a pronounced nipple end. How long typically from fruit set to ripe fruit? There aren't enough hours in a day for me to buzz all those flowers, so I hope the fan helps them set well.
