Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Check out whats growing in my closet :)

I'd say let it flower.
The peppers on this plant are small (see chileman description below) and you have limited space.
btw : One of my pepper plant has an open flower ... YIIIPEEE!
From thechileman.org :
>>This highly ornamental Pequin type variety produces 0.75 to 1 in long by 0.375 to 0.5 inches wide purple pods which grow in upright in clusters on the plant
you scrapped the jalapeno? bummer
How are the T5 doing. Anygood?
are you still removing the bud?
All my flowers fell off but they were pretty. Kinda strange they had 7 petals on them. I think I'm growing somekind of hybrid.
Good news is I now have about 20 buds that should flower in about 1-2 weeks.

Oh yah, the T5s are awesome. I'm not still pulling off flower buds, but it doesn't seem to be making any new ones right now. A few days back, i noticed some of its leaves curling up and it was just generally looking hungry, so I fed it another low dose of some Grow Big (foxfarm's brand nutrient) and it perked right up and un-rolled those leaves. As soon as I get some money (finally got another job lol) i'm finally going to get at timer. I think it might be happier flowering under 18/6 than 24/0, but in the meantime it seems to be perfectly happy w/ the light schedule.
But yah, the jalapeno was retarded I don't know what was wrong with it, a little bit of everything it seemed. The pepper I've been really wanting to grow is the pepperoncini, which I'm planning on raising mostly outdoor on my stairs since the balcony doesn't get much light. I'm going to start a couple of them as soon as I get paid and get better soil. I'm going to pickle the shit out of them and grub down once they're done
. Pepperoncinis ftw 
Wow, that one is looking great! Try (if you want sometime) Superthrive. And for dirt, I find that Sunland Organic Potting Soil is the best for peppers.
Be sure to try one right off the plant (pre-pickling as it were)... that's where the fun isTxclosetgrower said:I'm going to pickle the shit out of them and grub down once they're done
You scrapped your Naga too?
Nursery
I wonder if I gave a local nursery naga morich plants if they would grow them for me.. I dont want to be bothered.. Does anyone think a local nursery would grow them for me if I gave them the seeds or already started small plants?
Txclosetgrower said:I got bored one day so I decided to since its too cold to grow outside and my balcony faces north anyway, I was gonna just grow in my closet. I went to the feed store which was the only place that has seeds this time of year, picked up some jalapeno, tam jalapeno, and long red cayenne seeds. I also ordered some peruvian purple chiles from www.seedsofchange.com because the plant looks really cool and it said it did well as an inside plant, so I figured it would do great in my closet under bright light.
I started all my seeds in 16 oz plastic cups, and I ended up only keeping 1 of the purple chiles, and 2 of the tam jalapenos, because I wanted to save room for other things in the future. I'm probably going to throw out the gimpy looking jalapeno plant anyway and just keep the healthy one. These pics are a little old, I'll get new pics in a day or two:

Yah, I did
It had some messed up thing going on its leaves, like they were turning white around the edges and like burning off. Then they started turning like yellow with small purplish brown spots. So i decided to get it the hell out before it infected something else, I don't know what was wrong with it. I think the potting soil I got holds wayyyyyyyyyyy to much water for peppers. Those purple ones are tough tho. I'm starting more nagas for the year tho, don't worry

Already got the superthrive too. I give it to them every so often, i was doing it once a week but i think once every two weeks is plenty. The only thing they've been fed is some Grow Big & Big Bloom by fox farms. Organic liquid fertilizers I picked up. Big Bloom is more of like a supplement with micronutrients, while grow big is actually a fertilizer. So far I've only fed the purple one grow big twice, and big bloom several times. It is gonna be transplanted into a larger like 3 gallon pot with some better draining soil and lots of perlite once I get some cash.
My indoor White Bullets did that too last year. They dropped all their leaves, but came out of it. I think it was the too moist soil too.
Perlite is not the answer. I used alot in my soil the last couple years, and found that it's still easy to overwater and harbor pathogens.
I'm doing some tests to try to get roots to go to where the pot's oxygenated water is, not put water all through the soil. And conserve water, and avoid stem rot at the same time. That's all I can say right now, because I don't know if it'll work. It's not new, but I have never tried it.
