hi all,  I've done container growing of super hots for a couple seasons now. Mostly just using miracle gro potting mix with only okay results.  This year i decided to scale up, and im concerned i've nitrogen poisoned my plants.  I have 3 reapers, 5 ghosts, 3 habaneros (about 6-8 inches...

hey thanks for the info, i read up on the herb. ill check the local asian market, there might even be a west indian market around.
