Hey guys,
I recently started growing pepper plants and I had this very strange Bhut Jolokia plant come up.
It germinated and grew about the same time as my other plants, but it was VERY stunted. When it came out I was wondering if it was simply a weed or a small clover or something as it was much smaller than my other Bhut's.
As it grew it was constantly much smaller than my other plants, very stubby yet dark green and healthy looking. When I transplanted the plant last week it had almost no root structure.
Now (about 2 - 3 weeks) later, it has MANY more leaves than my other plants, has grown 2 secondary stems, and has even started flowering. Tomorrow I'm going to snip off the flowers if that is the agreed consensus on the forum.
I'm wondering what caused this? Is this just the dwarf of the litter? Or was the soil packed too tightly when I sowed the seed? Or is this even a Bhut Jolokia?
Thanks!
