my carolina reaper

[Balduvian]

this is my carolina reaper, been inside from seed, 18 hours of light 6 hours of dark, was just wondering if its small for being 65 days since they sprouted from seeds
 
its starting to get little buds like clusters of 5 and probly 10+ on the plant.
 
it was 14" tall last sunday and today its about 18" or just shy of 18".. its in a 5 gallon pot and im not counting the container in its height lol

It looks good. Superhots are slow growing. You get use to it though...

thanks, ya i know they grow slower than normal i was just wondering if for 60 days is a little behind or not is all

Nope your looking good, 60 days is actually fast for that amount of growth, what ever your doing keep it up

Pretty plant and the size looks good.

i started them off in hydroponics, aerogarden thought it might jumpstart the plant size then move to soil for bigger overall in long run

I have never grown anything hydroponically.  Does the plant suffer much shock moving from hydro to soil?  Your plant looks stunning.

i used hydro for about maybe 4 weeks so maybe 3 after seed sprouted and it got about 6" tall and bushy in that time, same size as my plants that were around 6 weeks old, so it seemed to grow faster a lot faster lol, but i planted them in soil, no leaf drop no wilting, was like it was planted in soil from the start, i just left lights off that night and put back on in the morning, instead of 6 hours of darkness they got 12, might have helped with the shock, oh and i watered them with this plant starter fertalizer 10-52-10 at half strength, suppose to help with transplant shock
