Has anyone had any issues with condensation forming on "trapped" leaves (leaves underneath other leaves) before? I've never seen this happen on any other plant I've grown, and I want to make sure it isn't an issue in terms of things like mold.

Yes, I have had mildew grow on lettuce leaves that were packed too tightly together without enough air circulation. My temporary fix was to spray them with 1/3 peroxide and 2/3 water to kill the existing mildew. Then I thinned out the lettuce.
I have also had water dripping off pepper leaves when they were growing too thickly. I did a severe leaf pruning, and it took care of the problem.

Yes I get the condensation. I thin some leaves out after shaking the plant gently to loosen them. They may need some air circulation or a daily shake.

Raised the light up another notch today, and I've been shaking the plant a bit each day. Doesn't seem to make a difference with the condensation, but it helps me sleep at night. |

I asked Khang Starr about the condensation build-up during a video premiere, and he recommended pruning back the leaves, so here we go:   |

Added 2ml of nutes. This one doesn't seem to be consuming much at the moment.  |

Are those peppers very hot, Error? I wish I could find a small pepper like that with just a little heat.
You get so many more small peppers on a plant than larger ones.

A lot of people grow this type of pepper outdoors just as an ornamental plant. I don't know much about peppers, but there's a YouTuber called Khang Starr that does - he has been doing a "What's That Pepper" series with 102 videos so far. You could take a look at the thumbnails to find a pepper that looks interesting to you, and then check the video or look up how hot it is: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLPq8JWQbWhBkBqnJU9IhCzunZ2hlk48R |

I have been following Khang Starr for years. He is a genuine plant whisperer!

I've more or less given up on pruning anything aside from dead/dying/damaged leaves.  |
