Caribbean Reds

Dislike, any idea what is wrong? 

Here are a couple in clay pots and the 2 of about 30 in plastic pots. Both get the same watering and soil and all these plants were the same size before planting them in these pots.

I would suspect the soil and lack of nutrients and how is the PH? I have 100 plants in the exact same soil that I mixed for pot up time and about 10 are having issues. Exact same water and feeding, light and temp. I suspect some plants just have bad genetics.

do you think the containers have anything to do with it ?

I am not an expert, hopefully others can offer advice that grow containers. I can say I get far worse results but I am sure its me and my medium so I always go ground or sqftg.

I might try and get a few more clay pots for some of the Caribbeans and see if they do better when going from the current containers to the clay pots. It will be my little experiment lol.

Are you in northern cal, central or southern ?

 
 
Northern. Sacramento. Specifically in Carmichael

Since we are discussing containers. Those two Caribbean Reds were grown in these:
 

 
Fabric home depot bags. I believe they are 6 gallon.
 
I used Kellog's Garden Soil. I mixed that with my native soil.
 

 
I didn't fertilize much throughout the grow season because I over fertilized in the beginning and had many issues. 
 
Overall those Caribbean Reds did really well with this setup... despite initial set backs!

Made these this morning with free containers from the grocery store for an container/above ground garden. Used an olla I got cheap at a local store with top for $2 each. I'm experimenting to see how 6 Caribbeans do in this environment.

Caribbean reds are hands down my favorite habs. They just have a certain something that none of the other habs possess. $0.50 a piece is a steal too.

 Mine too, I have grown so many Chinense varieties over the years and every year it's different... except for one, the one I always have growing just for that unique flavor none of the others have...
