SoCal checking in here

Hey guys im excited to learn about Hot Peppers and growing some. I've only dabbled with growing  Jalapenos and Habaneros from Bonny Farms or what ever its call when buying from Home Depot. I've never had good luck with these and only yielded a few peppers each plant.  I am growing in 5 gallon buckets using a net pot at the bottom that sits in water wicking water up into the soil. 

 
I've asked my wife to take a few close up shots of the Jalapeno and Habanero plant. the leaves seem to be slightly yellowish. my goal is to grow healthy hot pepper plants.

:welcome:  from sunny South Florida!  :woohoo:
 
i'd like to start some more peppers but I don't know if its to late in the season. I have a closed sun/Arizona room I guess I could keep some plants in as well.

I think my problem is my soil I need to find a better recipe or mixture to use with my Self watering bucket system.

Welcome from Bakersfield :psearch up the hempy bucket threads or search double bucket system

Also, you can potentially grow year round, germinate some seed now and it'll either produce peppers before it gets too cold or it'll overwinter itself and be ready for the spring.
Can't go wrong with either result.
