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

Sprinkle some blood and bone meal around those plants and help them grow before producing any more pods. You'll have many more big healthier pods in the long run. A good balanced fertilizer like Espoma Tomato-tone will also do the trick. Good luck.

What about Epsoma Plant-Tone?

Seems to have the best of bone and blood meals.
Just picked some up and sprinkled some around my plants, went with maybe 1/2 strength, if they do well I'll bump it up to full strength in one month when it would be due next.
Edit for: the local home improvement store didn't have tomato-tone or I'd picked that up instead.
That will work Skydiver, just sprinkle around like salt and pepper but not on the stem or touching the plant. Water it in and wait a few weeks and decide if they need another dose or not. Your plants are the right size and established and wanting to grow bigger. I'd use the little green 1.5 Tbs. measuring scoop that comes w/ MG leveled off around each plant. I think you'll see some new growth pretty fast. The Plant-Tone is my contacts favorite of the Espoma line. 
Leaf porn, you say? We can do that, too.
My Douglah is finally ramping up, getting big leaves, really growing like it should.
This is supposed to be an Aribibi Gusano. I grew it from seeds harvested from a plant purchased last year from Cross Country Nurseries.
This plant looks almost entirely different.
Leaves last year were small and thin, this year I have massive leaves.
Last year it was bushy and compact, this year it's got a long stem and is shaped differently.
I don't know if this is a cross/mutant/whatever, but if I traded some of these seeds to you this season and it doesn't grow true, I apologize.
One of my Datil plants said "to heck with it, I'm doing what I want."
Double stem, and one of the leaves doubled, so it's now officially my Double-Double Datil.

Very nice pics Skydiver. Might I ask where you aquired your yellow 7 pod seeds?
The pic you have of that pod seems to be a bit different than the ones i have.
Will be interesting to see if different climate conditions alter the pods in any way.

I've been thinking about Jaloros next year; Can't wait to see pics of how it turns out for you. Looking really nice up there.
Straight from Neil, so original seed stock.
Same source as mine skydiver. Will be interesting to compare our yellow 7's
Everything looks great BTW.

Finally.
The yellow/orange manzano I have in my front raised bed is the largest pepper I have this year, it had flowers long before anything else, but I didn't see any berries on it until today.
I dunno if this is normal for the plant, but it's a huge relief to see these.
Edit for: by largest I mean the overall plant is bigger and bushier than anything else, but the chocolate habs are catching up fast.
7 Pot Barrackpore, no pods yet but tons and tons of nodes with four flowers each on the plant. Shouldn't be long now.
7 Pot Jonah has a ton of fruit on it.
Big 7 Pot Jonah. Hopefully these are tasty, looks like I may have a fair bit of em.
This 7 Pot Yellow is really starting to scare me. I know that when it ripens, I'm going to eat the whole thing, and that it's going to hurt. A lot. As long as it's tasty, though, I'm game.
More 7 Pot Yellows developing.
First Red Savina of the year. Fairly excited about these. Hope they taste as good as Hippy made them sound in his vid (which is still my fave of all your vids, mate.)
Chocolate Habaneros on one of my other plants. These guys are growing fast, and hopefully they swamp me with pods, I love this pepper like no other that I've tasted so far, easily my favorite. May change this year with the new species, but I don't think so. I love these things.
Red Mushroom, first of the season. Really really excited to eat one of these, heard they're brilliant.
