One more question for you all: Now that Ive repotted to 5 gallon pots, added a better potting soil added more shade, should I consider pruning? And/or fertilizing? The neem oil issue was extreme, so much so that hosing the plants down is NOT removing the sticky residue! Not sure what to do to...

  Thank you! Based on your advice, I repotted them today into 5 gallon buckets (with 13-14 holes drilled into the bottom of each). I opted for a miracle grow performance organics potting mix. I was shocked to see that 2 of the 3 plants were rootbound! Mind you I had just transplanted them from...

Thanks for the info! I do regret choosing the clay pots and I agree that it was a bad choice in hindsight. On a positive note, they were brand new and were not reused. I plan to put them in 5 gallon or larger plastic buckets in fall - its about to get very hot here in Phoenix and Im thinking...

Thank you! That is what I am fearing, but hoping not. Hoping there is something I can do to save them...

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum. I am currently growing jalapeños and a few varieties of New Mexican hatch chile peppers and am really interested in learning more. I live in the Phoenix area. I also have some Carolina Reaper seeds that I intend to plant here soon. I look forward to chatting...
