Hey Ruby what size pots do you do your peppers in or they in the ground? Curious as I want to get some of each of what I have in the vault and want to use smallish pots, since there are alot. You see any issues with small ass pots for peppers?

I mix my peppers up mate..generally if i want to nurse a few plants thru one season so i can overwinter them and transplant to bigger pots or a planter bed in the second year i use pots that are least 30 deep and 30 across (cm).
BUT if i want yield from 2nd or 3rd season chillis i transplant from those pots to the ground/planter beds/large pots.
So i get a continuous cycle of young and old ...if ur not worried about overwintering chilli plants in the off season i would try and do in pots at least 50cm deep and 50cm wide at a minimum for best yield growth.
Planter beds are the best though.
Say you have a planter bed/box approx 2m by 1m and a depth of 60cm you could have 6-8 nice big chilli plants and get maximum yield.
Hope this helps ..i grow mostly superhots myself.

I start my seedlings in a tent and transplant like this to a bed...some chilli plants i have are still going strong 3 yrs later...pots with less than 25cm depth dont take long to get rootbound

I find superhots (anything hotter than habs )
Can be fussy in regards to what they like as liquid fertilizer sometimes a 1/2 recommended dose is enough for a feed ;) gd luck man they are quite enjoyable to grow i love making sauces and salts from them

Cool. Sounds like a similar mix they do here, but the chilis are ground up with a mortar then added into sea salt. Pretty awesome shit
