Once it heats up here it basically becomes an air swamp. Some days you can feel yourself pushing through the atmosphere. The only escape is to ride up into the mountains and jump in a stream - nekkid if you can get away with it!

Yes sir his manifolds were unbelievable and helping others to do those in the topic was very impressive. I know those two GLâs better watch out. Still studying it right now MeEasy and you inspire me to do mad damage. 
It is all just and experiment and experience to meâŚ

@nmgeo, we in the hot pepper head community may also be interested in seeing the progress of your hot peppers as well, just a suggestion. 
Photos tomorrow on the hot peppers⌠We have them in 2gl pots and I think maybe I will see if they are big enough. I needed to put some Earth Dust in the 4 4x4 raised beds but never got it added. You think 2 gl pots would be large enough for adult peppers? I need to get some coco coir in that large brick and mix it and perlite in that loamy soil in those planters. The wife has been adding all her kitchen scraps to the planters soil for months as well.

In my soil and climate, it would probably be ok if I didnât have to move them. Theyâd grow tap roots through the bottom and be able to find the ground water. In that case the 2 gallons of decent soil ought to be enough of a nutrient sink/store, especially if you fertilize. Donât know if it would be the same in NM.
If I wasnât connected to the ground water, Iâd want a little bigger, maybe 3-5 for annum or 5-7 for chinese. For a full size plant. They will adapt to the container size though. The reaper I overwintered spent last summer in a 1/2 gallon plastic pot because I ran out of room in the veggie garden. I basically left it for dead. But it was a survivor, I got a few pods from it, it was like a mini reaper. Lost all its leaves a couple times but it finally found that ground water.

Wife said all the root balls from last year were about the size of those 2gl pots⌠I am still going to get the planters ready to transplant to if needed. The main problems is the planter are setting on concrete slab and obviously that ainât ideal, but she makes it work.
Still eight more to transplant too
3 - Various Ghost
1- Scorpion
1-Red Habanero
2-Scotch Bonnets
1-Japaleno
We will prevail. Headed to Home Depot tomorrow to pick up some stuff.

Yeah Iâm guesstimating for the most part. The reaper was root bound as heck in the 3 gallon pot, I had a heck of a time getting it out. Itâs been in there since last Oct so 6 months.

You got some doubles in the solos? If you want to keep both and have them in their own pots just run a sharp knife down between them and try to cut the root ball in half. You might lose a leaf or two but theyâll be fine. In the same container theyâll compete with each other, probably one will end up a runt, and not produce as much as it could. It wonât be a problem having two in container, just probably wonât get you much more than if it was just 1 plant.
