Goth peppers' first repot!
I don't know what they're actually called, but they're very dark with purple flowers and black fruits that ripen to bright red so I call them goth peppers 🖤

Hey everyone! I'm getting into mini pepper plants / bonchi and currently have some Datil, Ghost, and Habanero sprouts going. I love that habanero flavor profile and superhots, so I really want to make sure I get these small container setups right from the start.
A few quick questions for anyone experienced with indoor pepper growing:
Stem Thickness: What are the best ways to get a short, thick trunk early on? Is it mostly light placement and wind, or hard pruning?
Heat Level: Do bonchi pods hold the exact same heat as full-sized garden peppers, or does the small root space change the burn at all?
Indoor Grow Lights: What light setup and daily schedule keep the node spacing super tight so they don't stretch?
pH Targets: What pH should I be aiming for in smaller pots to make sure I don't hit nutrient lockouts?
Fertilizers: What NPK ratios and feeding schedule do you use to keep growth stocky without making the stems leggy?
Appreciate any tips or advice!
