I only feed juveniles if they need (yellow leaves, etc...)
Actually that's what I wanted to say but I feed them every week with a 1/3ish strength palm tree liquid fertlizer as we don't have a fert. just for peppers here in Brazil.
You could Top one or another just to see how they do
I might be wrong but I think it's late to top them all...
They're looking good for seeds started on april though
Full sun is always better. If your plants are already under the sun full time there's no need to harden them off.
If your pinch the buds it will focus on growing, if you let the buds, it will focus on producing the fruits. It's up to you!
Yeah, some time ago I had 1 week straight of non-stop rain and by the end of it, some of the leaves looked just like those yellow ones in the pictures... I didn't have much knowledge about nutrients deficiency back then, so what I did was remove 1-2 inch of soil around the plant and I filled...
My 1 foot tall wiener dog decided to help me prune a reaper and a scotch bonnet seedling... hoping for side shoots to grow now that both only have 1 leaf LOL
From my experience, it's too much fertilizer if you water it every time with it... I water mine with half strength liquid fertilizer once a week and they are doing fine.
Damn I can't wait to start crossing. I still have seedlings as it is winter in the south hemisphere... This week I'm adding to the list:
-Thunder Mountain Longhorn
-TS Butch T Yellow variety
-Bhut Orange Copenhagen
I'll try to cross as many as I can
Precook the bacon on a skillet but turn off the heat while it is still soggy, but not completely raw
Bacon wrapped mushrooms are my favorite and you don't need to precook anything because you can never overdo a mushroom.
Good luck
What about the temperature and light? Is this a good, full of nutrients soil? There are a lot of things to consider when growing plants in general but they look pretty okay to me. Well, I'd say they are a little bit small for 5 weeks but no worries, give it some time do develop some roots then...
My tip is: never trust cheap seeds and avoid ebay.
You should buy it directly from Ed, the guy who 'created' the reaper, his prices are really fair.
