hello there,

i always hear problems of plants not flowering but mines is the oppistie i want mines not to flower and to focus on growth i did some reasearch and i read that if you cut the flowers it can stunt the growth which i absoultly do not want. my plants are butch t and ghost and are still very small about a 2 months old and doing great i recently transplanted them to 5 gallon buckets should i cut the flowers or let them grow.


also is it to late to start super hots in march i live in zone 10 and i have seeds for chocolate doughlah, butch t moruga, yellow ghost, jamacian red habanero,and naga viper.

Zone 10 you can start peppers any and all the time.

You can pinch the flowers and it will allow the plant to focus on upward and outward growth rather than focusing on making babies .

To me that looks like either plant edema or powdery mildew -- both can be fixed by increasing air flow and watering less often. Wait until the soil becomes completely dry before watering. Outside you'll have better airflow and wouldn't be as likely to have these problems.

-- when you do have pests inside, it's often because their natural predator is absent and unable to keep them in check.
