woah Puff, she's really taking off! Nice big fat leaves, she'll be a corker of a plant

thanks man, the story so far is it was getting rootbound and has started showing a def in one of the leaves. Had stopped growing the last week or so.. So I finally got around to transplanting it in some fresh soil and a bigger pot..but at the rate this thing grows roots i'm wondering if I will ever stop it from getting rootbound in a pot..

ok little update on the tscorp..

first off, since my weed grow is over I have put this plant under cfls because I hate running the hps unless absolutely necessary...weed necessary ..anything else not ..

However ,it does not approve of cfls at all, it completely stalled ,I guess my house is to cold for it.So I came up with a compromise , I run the hps light on it for 5 hours every night been doing this for a week or so and it has finally started growing again.

When summer comes around I will be giving this plant to my dad to look after ,as he has a nice conservatory where it can bask is good sunlight, something I can't give it in my shitty house that I live in.

Nice plant Puff!! Keep us updated!!!

i do peppers on my patio, just normal peppers so far! but i made a order with pepperjoes and got some of his hottest. just something to pass the time, my gut cant take hot.

I don't know how I will fair with them tbh captain... I figure just use less if they are too hot..

unaquil , since you asked here's an update. It's at 1 and a half feet tall now. It hated being put under cfls and stopped growing , but now it's back under an hps and it is loving life again. I have topped it twice now.. meaning, after the first topping, I have now topped the 3 prominent branches as well which it is now just recovering from. It's a very thirsty drinker at this stage , drinking a litre a day... i'm just giving it tap water and 2ml per litre of bio grow... seems to be doing the trick..

wowww are you sure that´s not a letuce?? lol you´re a wonderful topper!!
suscribbed!!

ps: sorry by my bad english, in my contry people spokes spanish...

Hey Thanks man , Don't worry i understand your english is good, i wish i spoke spanish as good ..

haven't updated this in a while. Ok so basically the thing got huge, it got up to about 4 feet tall and I couldn't keep it in my closet at the time. Topping it several times didn't help either it was just a mess of big lanky branches everywhere, so I butchered it. Cut it in half more or less and cut off several branches completely. But it keeps fighting back with more new shoots. Its a strong little fella that's for sure.

My cat also discovered it and started eating it, so it has a lollipop effect going on wth all the missing lower leaves. Really pissed me off how much abuse it has taken, so I am attempting to take a clone. It's been a few weeks now and still no roots coming out of the coco pellet but the cutting is still alive. For the first week it would go limp every day like it was dead until I misted it then it would pop up again, now it is staying up on its own all day, so maybe it will root eventually.

Still no flowers or fruit on the mother plant, which I am keeping as a house plant by a window most of the day and giving it 3 -4 hours of hps light a day... might have an issue with the roots as it's not drinking as fast as it used to ,but maybe that's because it has been recovering from me hacking it up for the last few weeks.

Yeah wow man, she has definitely grown heaps hey! Good looking plant though mate bit weird that it hasn't started to show flowers though, hopefully it starts soon so you can get some good chillies!

Cool. I just started growing chillies last year. I've just managed to over-winter them in my indoor grow-room and they're coming back to life now, so don't throw them away at the end of the season!
Google Bonchi (bonsai chilli).

How do you goes with the pepper?

that plant is still going. I gave it to my dad to look after as he has a good greenhouse and it didn't adjust well and nearly died last summer, but he got it through the winter indoors and all the leaves fell off but it all grew back again this month and looks amazing

glad to see another Scorp Pepper growing. The plant in front is mine. This one is hopefully going to fruit, I have more, they are just smaller.
