It sprouted 20 days ago, indoors with a grow light and still indoors about two+ inches tall. Wondering if the plant is on track. First time growing.

What zone are you in? I’d be more concerned about whether it will be able to mature enough to give you fruit before the end of the season.

Will be indoors permanently…
Will be hand pollinating

Super hots tend to grow slower, but once they start to produce, they are more productive than regular peppers.

Kinda small, the pot size seems a little big and it looks pretty wet. I’d water less frequently and mostly water directly under the plant around where the root will be. Peppers don’t like wet feet. Over watering slows down growth, but once you get the timing down, for a reaper at two months it’s usually closer to a foot tall with some fat leaves.
That one is around a month and a half old or so, from last year. My hydro one was about 1/3 taller but the leaves were much bigger and the stall was much thicker.

I have some plants 2 months old, and are this size.
You’re well.

Looks pretty good I would do less water, more nitrogen, and more light. I run my super hots on 24 hour light and they thrive. Make sure it has a fan on it!
