Normal growth for a Carolina reaper?

Hey!
Thank you! Nothing advanced, I bought organic worm castings and filled an old sock with it, then let it sit in a bucket of water over night. I also added it as topdressing and the plants seem to love it. :)
The light is a viparspectra rig from Amazon. The heat output in my small area is just perfect with a 16/8 lightschedule.

Thanks! Yes I started out with a concentrated nutrient called Chilifocus and I think that made the damage on the leaves worse.
As of right now Im only using organic firtilizers and I will look into trying fish and kelpextracts next!
I cant really vouch for epsom salt yet either, but my plants looks healthier then ever right now. :)
Thank you for your posts I'm having the same problem as you started with and giving me confidence that the strain is just slow growth as I harvested the seed from full perfect ripe finished reapers off Amazon

Thanks! Hang in there and give it time. I just kept making adjustments in heat, aircirculation and watering with or without ferts and finally got it right.
Right now I have lots of pods and the bush keeps producing! :)

Nice looking chili plants right there, but even if Chilli focus is good fertilizer, it is far too expensive to use if you have more than a few plants to grow compared to many other fertilizers that produce similar results with a fraction of the price.
 
Manufacturer recommend dosage for that stuff:
 
Growth Technology – Chilli Focus recommended dosage for growth – 5ml/litre
 
Growth Technology – Chilli Focus recommended dosage for fruiting – 10ml/litre
 
One litre of that fertilizer is soon spend using those dosages.

How did you get a viparspectre from amazon? I kinda wanted one back when i was setting up but according to amazon viparspectre doesnt deliver to denmark (i kinda assumed they wouldnt deliver to sweden either then)

Damn dude looks righteous!! I'm dealing with fungus gnat larvae as I grudgingly found out today, still waiting on a few more seed varieties from fellow forum members to the rescue, I got some more reaper seeds too, I think I'll plant some but use peroxide on em before planting just to be on the safe side.. My reapers look.. For lack of a better word-"retarded" growth.. Like leaves growing sideways and stuff-did you get any of that? I'll show you, I hope it's not "bls" brown leaf spot I read about..
Regards brother..
