ah ok so 2 or maybe 1 stem is better for growing a heavy pepper? How does the sapstream go in a pepperplant? It is thought that leaves above the pepper provide the nutrients. But those leaves need nutrients to be built...this imo, implies the nutrients can travel in opposite direction in a stem.

If I let a pepper grow on the third stem, will the photosynthetic energy from the other stems feed the pepper on the third stem? Do all the leaves work for the pepper on the third stem?

The heaviest pepper was 566 g. I'm mentioned on giantgardening.com I'm the guy from Belgium:) http://giantgardening.com/rec_pepper-sweet.php   I now grow the Gurneys Giant. The plant splitted in 3 stems. Should I remove a stem? Should I do fruitpruning to grow the heaviest pepper?

I have the Lightwave T5 - 2 x 24W. How high should I hang it above my peppers?

Ok, I will remove/eat the fruits beefore I plant him. The plant is 3,5 months old and I have fertilized only once, so I think he has a very strong root system. Is it true the white diamond grows rather compact and not really big? I have self made tomato cages and I have one of 50 cm high.

I have a white Diamond sweet pepper with 5 growing fruits and several flowers. He's still in a small container. If I plant him in open ground, do I have to remove all fruits and flowers? Or is it enough to remove only the fruits?  

You say peppers lose growth after 20 hours. But they can't recuperate so the growth stays lower when you give light 24/7?

Ok,, ty, that's good to hear.

I let the light on during the night a couple times and I think the peppers were to close to the light. My plants are severely damaged. I now put them in the near dark, tomorrow I'll give them a couple hours of light... I'll slowely let them adjust to the light again. Will/can they recover?    

I can't find any bugs. The leaves were like that after the first night I kept the lights on. Can that be the cause?

My bellaforma pepper is acting weird. Is it damage from a sucking insect? The bellaforma is a chinense and none of my annuums have any damage. I thought chinenses were more resistant against insects...

ok, I'm going to make  Crushed Red Pepper and was wondering If I need 1 or 2 plants. 1 plant will suffice I suppose. I'll get a big container (30 l)

What is the size of the cayenne red long slim-plant? Can they grow big?

Here are heavier Goliath peppers. There is one super heavy weight pepper that might become even heavier.   And this is the heaviest of the two:

I think I won the contest. Look at this baby:) It's a goliath pepper. There are several big peppers on the plant, but this is the biggest one so far. And this is the super heavy weight pepper: There is also an elongated bell pepper and a broad bell ppepper on the same super heavy weight...

I have the corno toro...very tasty peppers and productive plant.

This is a super heavy weight pepper. If he grows wide like in it's pictures.......he will be huge.

My Jimmy Nardello pepper is growing to big for its18l container. He's making tons of fruits. Can I still repot him in 25 or 30l container? Or should I leave him be when he's making fruits?

Some people from Belgium and Holland bought yellow monster seeds. (I think from reimerseeds) Has anyone ever grown a yellow monster? (it's a long bell pepper) It's a very productive plant, like a cayenne, very unlike a paprika. And the fruits grow long and thin. Is this normal? We all...
