I’ve been growing two jalapeño plants in an aero garden for a while to see how it would go and they always come out stubby. They’re much spicier than store bought though. Same for both plants. Any ideas as to why?
Obligatory banana for reference

No clue. You’re just showing the peppers. Not a lot of info to go on. Best guess. Not enough energy for the plant to grow the peppers. Meaning.. small plant. A lot of peppers.
Mine get to like this near the end of the season when they get less and less sunlight. So probably related to the amount of energy the plant can pump into the pepper
They’re small
When I had this problem before the plant was too deep into the soil and not getting enough air. Caught it too late though and it never produced normal fruit.
Ok my guess, too many for the size of the plant or not enough food.
Emotionally? They probably feel inadequate in comparison to the banana.
Awwww. Every now and then I would get some like this on a plant. I just think they’re cute. 😊
How many of your plants grew these? Was this all off a singular plant?
it looks like you didn’t fully inflate those peppers.
They are fine, more than average if you ask me. NOT small at all,right? right?
You aren’t cooking them up.
If they taste good, there’s nothing wrong at all. Your plants might have genetics to produce a smaller pepper – a nice, single bite jalapeño that becomes all the rage and everyone wants to grow if the flavor is there.
I had jalapeños do this when the temperature got cold.
You grew them.
You have adorable micropeños.
Nothing wrong with jalapeños, but that banana is huge.
I’ve read in here that it’s not uncommon for the first harvest of a particular plant to be a bit like this. Bigger peppers on subsequent harvests.
Good measuring tool..
They smol
Can I see the plant
I grow a lot of the Pot ‘O’ Peno variety and these look just like a good amount of them. They are basically just mini jalapeños and some are more mini than others.
