Last year was my first year growing peppers. I had a late start and with our very hot summers it was a disappointing year. Fortunately I was able to over winter 10 plants (reapers, vipers, chi chein, and what I call a sweet wax it was supposed to be a hot wax, looks like a wax but sweet. It is still good for eating right of the plant while I'm gardening so I kept it.
Anyways, Before I over wintered I cut off half the roots and repotted them in the same 5 gallon pots with fresh soil. A couple of the vipers and reapers have loads of small flower buds so yesterday I gave them all a good dose of fertilizer (Jobe's organic tomatoe and vegetable) I've had luck with this with other veggies it seems I have to apply every 4-6 weeks or sooner.
The current growth on the plants looks sort of stunted, small leaves short node spacing. I'm hoping they'll get bushy again with the ferts and the warm weather.
I have some fatalii seeds and a couple other new varieties sprouting, although it might be too late.
No real question here, I'm just excited for a new year and to see everyone else's progress.
BTW my galaxy has the worst autocorrect in this forum. This took forever to type. Does anyone else have this problem?
