@pooey Loving the stripes on the pods and amazed at how you can get such comparatively small plant to fruit so well.
Would love to have a bigger collection of smaller plants all of different varieties and fruiting.
Do you just keep the pot size small...?
@Cadder Good effort on the repotting mate, looks like it all went smoothly.
I recon 8L should be fine, tbh the general rule is the small the pot the smaller the plant and so less fruit.
Go as big as you can especially for chinense (super hot) varieties as the bigger the pot the bigger the plant and the more chillies
Don't sweat 8L though, that will get you some decent size plants that fruit.
I have done a bit of pruning (topping) but I only really do it if the plant is getting to tall as a whole or stretched out.
It does in the short term set them back a bit and I only do it around now when they are not fruiting.
Means you can get some great shaped & bushy plants when it goes well.
How i the war against the aphids going, I am free of them so fa this year which is a first but I'm sure they will show up at some point!
In general my grow i going ok, struggling to get the transition out of the mini grow tent into the garden right.
Lots of wilting and stress in the plants and juggling them between locations, they should hopefully acclimatise soon though.
Rapidly running out of space!
