Try adding a little handful of epsom salt to the peppers and water in. The magnesium seems to help the production.

Thanks I’ll check that out. They are totally too close to one another. With the exception of the California Wonders, all seeds came from store-bought (non-organic).

They really grow well if you put them in starters or soil very soon after removing from the pepper.

I must have 1,000 extra seeds. Tried mailing about 300-500 - oops, fail. But I must still have 700-1,000 extra seeds for next go-round. Plus a couple-three more packages of California Wonders and some Carnival Blend(?) multiple-colors. Trying an organic package now but not many have come up. Maybe 4-6 young plants. I should be able to grow into early November if things remain like the last few years. Certainly late October.

I’ve got bone meal and MiracleGro (veggie) down. I’ll see if I can come up with epsom salts. Thanks for the tip.
