pics Carribean Red Hots?

New grow in soil started very late. I will likely overwinter. I forgot what I planted. I believe it was carribean reds. Doing alot better with one plant to look after. Soil was pretty good to start with but could probably use a fertilizer boost now.

All I have is 12-4-8 Liquid All Purpose Plant Food. I was going to give it house plant ratio maybe 1.25ml per liter water fed.

Looks like it needs a little soil and maybe a tomato cage?

I would like to overwinter and grow this thing like a tree if possible.

Chop this one off? Is this BER? Need calcium? My crappy fert doesn't have any. Did a bug get this? Miracle grow organics (bloom/veggie?) water soluble and keep feeding into winter in the tent?

I use either all purpose or tomato fertilizer with a more sandy soil. Haven't had a problem with either if those. I also don't measure it out, just sprinkle a little directly on the soil and let the water wash it down.

Should I chop off the fugly looking one?

That's up to you. Personally, I don't try to grow peppers over winter, I just try to keep the plant alive and growing new stems/leaves. If you're looking to harvest over winter, you could always let that pepper play out and see what happens.

just my opinion and i could easily be wrong,

i feel like i get spots like that on peppers sometimes, and the ones i have just looks like a natural growth deformation, almost like "scar tissue".

was the leftover flower stuck to the pepper as it grew, by any chance? the symmetry of where they occur looks like it was growing around where the petals may have been attached...

That is possible. It does feel more scar like. Maybe I'll leave it. I should upgrade ferts.

I found some seaweed concentrate at 0.6-0-6 good for direct feed and foliar and shake n feed tomato, fruit and veggie. mixed some promix veggie onto a scratched surface with a bit of shake n feed worked into and under it.. a bit of seaweed concentrate for water / pot already pretty wet and ill let it be for few days. supplementing light best i can. trying keep it inside at night already to not subject it too lowmof temps and ill self pollinate as many flowers I can.
