Hello, first time grower here and i have decided on starting my journey with Carolina Reapers because I love spicy food and i was curious how spicy is too spicy.
I am growing in zone 7a (Bratislava, Slovakia) and I started them I think mid January. They are in a potting mix of FloraSelf substrate and perlite in a 2:1 ratio. Im geowing them just with sun, they get about 5 hours exposure to full sun and around 12 hours of the day. I water them every 4-5 days when the soil is dry and i use 6 6 6 fertilizer for every second watering. My plan with them is to repot one of them from this 12cm pot to a 19cm one and finally later on to a 35-40 cm one, the other one i would like to keep in as small of a pot as possible (even if it will give me just 2 pepers I will be satisfied) because I plan on moving after summer and I want to take it with me for overwintering.
My questions for all of you are;
Do the plants look healthy?
Is my soil okay?
Is my watering and fertilizing okay?
What do you think about my repotting one and keeping one in the same 12cm pot plan and when should I repot?
What can I improve so I can get a healthy and good plant?
What should I be careful of to not kill my plant?
Do you have any good hotsauce/powder recepies with Carolina Reapers?
Thank you all in advance for the answers!! =D
(PS: if there is anyone from Bratislava that wants to connect to talk about plants and life I would be mote than happy to [I'm a croatian that moved here so I dont have many friends here lol])
