They look good! A suggestion is to spray them once a week with water and worm juice, Liquid seaweed works great as well! I dont use MG but I believe it feeds up to 90 days so after that you will need to feed them

Ya! They like it hot! I just wouldnt leave them baking in the sun if it's 105 degrees out! Avoid giving them to much sun! as well as leaving them out if it's really hot! Your plants being the size they are need 8-12 hrs of good light ,no more and no less

I live in Hawaii also and my pepper plants sometimes wither if it's out in the sun too long.....I have a hard time growing these Bhuts also because they require so much attention....I have three Bhuts right now about 2 foot high and when ti started fruiting all the leaves started to fall...the fruits stayed on and got ripe, but I ended up with 20% of it's original leaves. ...They're starting to look better now since I've been fertilizing more frequently...
