Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

The seedlings I use a spray bottle to mist them

I thought I would share some positive news today.
Here is my largest Yellow Scotch Bonnet (Or some type of Yellow Hab).
It is now 28" Tall with some of the leaves over 6" wide and starting to branch off at the top and starting to
fill in the lower sections of the plant. It also has about 20 blossoms on the top which keep increasing as new branches develope. Here are a few pics.
BTW Badger, what type of process would I use to water from the bottom?
Sorry im kinda noob.

those are gonna be big plants...very happy looking...
Don't quote me on this but you might want to check...I have heard that folks that live on islands surrounded by salt water or places close to the coast may have an issue with the soil being too salty....may be an old wives tale, but still that is what I heard...
please, someone correct me if I am wrong...

Thanks AJ
I have one planted in the ground now for testing purposes and it seems to be going along just as the ones in the pots if not better. Actually the plant in the pictures is one i tried with a mixture of beach sand 1/3 and 2/3 MG potting mix. That was baout 1 month ago and the plant was about 20" tall. I do understand your point though because we get alot of salt spray due to the beach beaing about 100 yards from our house.

Well thats a very difficult question for me, and I really cant choose but here are my top three in no particular order.
Ride The Lightning
Master Of Puppets
Death Magnetic
Also love S&M even though not a studio album its very unique.
And actually my 2 Metallica concerts are 7 days away now and I cant wait!
Your gonna need bigger pots.5 gal is really gonna get rootbound fast,just at the critical stage.You can keep adding nutes,but xtra soil is always better.The Chinense will need probablt 7 gal to do best.The annums you can get by with 5's.Get some peat moss on the mainland,lots.It's fast draining and you can recycle by adding to it next year.Perlite is never a bad thing.Start a compost bin if you can for coffee grounds,and xtra vegetaive matter.Great luck to you and keep an eye out for Native peppers at the markets!

I agree with the larger containers...I am growing in 5s and the plants are doing OK but are getting rootbound to beat the band...7s or 10s would work better as was mentioned...I am going to 7s and 10s next grow season myself
Hint...if you have time to check with some nurseries, they may sell/give you some used containers at a much cheaper price than what you would have to pay for them new...
AlabamaJack said:
I can only imagine how much fun it will be moving around 7 or 10 gallon containers lol. I will definatly take your advice and check the nursery AJ.
And Badger, well I guess there is no need to tell you mine lol.
I thought I'd take some pics before I left on my trip today.
So here they are..
These under the lights are all the hot varieties...seem to be growing slowly, they were planted about a month ago.
Jalapeno, Anaheim, Holy Moly...seem to be growing faster than the hots
First blossom opens on my scotch bonnets
