I acquired myself a pack of Ladybugs, and the game was on.  We will see after a few days what the status of the plants are.

Within the past few weeks, most of my pepper plants have suddenly manifested these little things on most of their leaves.  They don't seem to move. I have not seen anything of size, just lots of these little things so I'm not sure what they are to lookup how to deal with them.  Any thoughts?      

In the same period of time, my Ghost Pepper has gone berserk.  No sign of any flowering, but a ton of leaves and a ton more budding.  It however is outside full time.  

So wanted to share an update on the reapers.  In my opinion I think they are growing slowly.  My Ghost pepper (which is outdoors) is blowing the doors off of these guys, having over quadrupled in size just in the past few months.  These Reapers now have quite a few more leaves, but haven't grown...

So something I've read that I think might affect me.  How important is wind and air current for growth? I have all the peppers indoors in 72 degrees under a light for 16 hours a day, but there is no real air current.  I suspect that when they flower I will have to put them outside to encourage...

Thank you all for advice.  I have moved them into 5G fabric bags as of this afternoon.  I was really shocked at how little root work they had, nearly non existent.  Here's hoping they like their new home.

Correct, no drainage.  Are they mature enough to be transplanted?  They seem very fragile.

  The light sits on top of the 10G aquarium, 9.5 inches from the soil deck.  I can't really go closer than that.

Hello there.  I am new into growing hot peppers, and have done quite a bit of reading (just found this site today) and have made some changes in what I was doing accordingly.  I am looking for some suggestions if anyone would like to take the time to comment.     I am a fan of the Reaper, and...

Just getting into the world of hot pepper growing.  I am in a small apartment with a small outside area so I've decided to do a Ghost Pepper plant and also try my hand at Reapers.  My Ghost is doing pretty well, the Reapers are moving slowly.  Hope to find some help here!
