Hello everyone,, . Iv just started growing indoors under lighting and im wondering if chillies or peppers need a 12/12 light switch to force flower? And if they don't , what would the best light schedule be?

    You should put a photo of the black tomatoes on star thread or gallery, I would love to see them. Do they taste any different?

    Are they Black Cherry (which are actually dark purple)?  They're certainly yummy!  The skin thickness depemds partly on watering; if the plants are short of water they tend to make thicker-skinned fruit.
