Overcrowded Chili Pot: Start Fresh with Proper Spacing

35 stems in one pot = severe competition. No flowers/fruit due to root binding and lack of pollination.

Restart Plan

1. Sow fresh seeds in individual cells.
2. Transplant at 5" to 1-gallon pots (one plant each).
3. Hand-pollinate with brush when flowering.
4. Feed lightly; peppers dislike rich soil.

Quality over quantity: 5 well-grown plants outyield 35 crowded ones.
