Hi guys
it's my first year growing and I have got quite a crop that will before long will need to go into bigger pots, they are currently in 3" pots and I'm thinking a 6" pot next but no idea if that's big enough for final size or will I need larger?
The varieties I have are;
Jalepeno
Señor serrano
Aji limon
Hungarian hot wax
Cherry bomb
Poblano
Padron
Corne di toro
Sante fe grande
New Mex sandia
Twilight
Fresno
Joe E Parker
A lot I know but I honestly didn't expect them all to come through and I have ended up with about 65 plants after a few deaths. I shall give a lot away to family and friends once they are a little bigger.
Any input would be much appreciated.

I've got my Habs and Twlight in their final pots ranging from 5-8 litres in size! I guessed the bigger the pot, the bigger the plant!

My Hungarian Hot Wax are in something a little smaller, I'm guessing 2-3 litre pots.

Hope this helps.

hi bluegolf,

This will depend on the space you have, but all of those varieties will be OK in a 3ltr (9") pot, but I would recommend potting them all in 6" pots as the next step.

The bigger ones (Poblano, Padron, Sandia and Joe E Parker) would make use of something bigger than 9", but I would pot them on in stages and see how it goes.

Cheers, Steve.
