Thank you all for letting me know about the shade cloth, and that it was fine to water just the base (i was told otherwise by a few people, they said not to water them until nighttime or the morning) my Carolina reapers sprunright up! I appreciate it, im relatively ne to growing in these conditions so i genuinely appreciate the help, here's the before and after

Nice going, man. That popped right back up. It looks like you gave it plenty of H2O, in addition to some shade. Peppers are pretty dramatic. What did you end up using for shade cloth?
Also sorry about the typos, it was really bright out and i was really happy to see this
Once the roots get established they should be fine. I’ve got a few that I’ll even pot up to a bigger pot just to get the root development so when they finally go in the ground they have enough to beat that Florida heat. Until they do a little shade canopy and deeper/more waterings can help.
