Those peppers are insanely hot. I like a sauce or whatever mixed in with regular hot wing sauce sometimes though. Gives me a nice buzz and clean feeling, like good thai food. Love the Buddha Pepper(thai chili ect ect)

Good looking plants RF. Mine are a long way off 2ft but it`s a good thing, still a month or two before they can go outside. In the meantime, i`ve converted most of the superhots into some sad looking sticks so they`ll become monsters later. Here`s what the reaper looks like for now ;)

The aggressive pruning forces them to start over and they go into frenzied veg mode. Over the next month the stem will fatten up considerably as the 30 odd branches on the stem start to kick in. By mid season it will be a very sturdy plant in a 30L tub with a shape resembling a goblet, ideally 3-4ft across and 4-6ft tall with every branch loaded with flowers and pods ;)

Overwintered plants are great candidates for intensive pruning and training. Take advantage of the extended growing season and established root system for more vegetitive growth. When they start producing fruit most of the energy is directed into the pods.

My overwintered plants definitely cane back bushier...
