Tips for top notch peppers

My dad is going to grow some red savinas, pot 7's and bhut's for me. He's not farmer Iggy but he has managed to grow a solid amount of winter vegtables and some leafy greens in his massive garden. Any tips to making sure he cultivates these strains successfully? He has a good soil mix but I don't believe he tests the ph. The garden is in Florida and it is partially shaded so the weather is partial. There's a great irrigation system and drainage. Anything else you can think of it is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Danny
 
I'm no expert in growing super hots but I've read a lot of posts and picked up an important one. Some growers make the mistake by over feeding the peppers with fertilizers and are obsessively trying to grow a healthy plant. That will only lead to failure. Not unless you are an expert.. Let the peppers take their natural course and don't rush them... PATIENCE....
Good luck . :)
 
best tip I can give you is peppers don't like wet feet...and in the summer heat...wet/soggy soil + high temperatures = root rot
 
Thanks everyone! Very helpful esspecially since my dad is GREAT at overwatering. I was building a treehouse for my kids a couple hundred yards from his garden and I watched him leave the water sprinklers on for over 4 hours! It wasn't a garden any more. More like a pond!
