We are talking about a plant that will reach 1 meter, maybe 1,5m if you are lucky, you end goal is a 7 to 10 gallon, 25 to 35L, pot.
> I have read there is a correlation with maximum size and the width that roots are allowed to grow into
Nearly all plant when there isn't anymore space to grow their roots, they stop growing both the roots and the aerial part of the plant because they stop producing Cytokinin, this isn't a problem if the pot is big enough or if you transplant it into a bigger pot.
Chili plant want costant water but don't want to stay neither dry, or moist for too long, they need to consume the water fast enough to avoid to cause root rot, to manage this you will most likely water it less and around the base, reducing the ammount of nutrient the plant can take and the possible space the roots can explore, limiting the growth.
>But I am sure you can appreciate my current position in that it's not easy to find a pot like a 2L
I'm sorry if I came off as rude and if I worded it in a measleading way, what I meant is to go and double the volume of the pot at the plant outgrow it, it doesn't need to be precise, personally the one I use are a 0,10L for germination, a 2L (10x8x7) one for starter, a 6L (15x12x10), then a 17L one (20x17x15) and if required a 27L one (24x20x18) before putting them in their "forever pot". You are a beginner, it's best to go a litter safer than going big, putting it now in a forever pot like a 35L one now that, I imagine, is still small, probably below 20cm, specially in summer could make you overwater the chili and kill it in the process, costant increase reduce this risk and allow for better watering schedule.

Just a word of advice, but I think you are already there, do not water on a precise time, water when needed, once a week is useless if the pot is still moist, wait for it to dry the superficial part, Oxygen in the soil is as important as water, and they occupy the same space.
>>
>>5118298
Thank you anon, I really appreciate the advice. I will leave it be then for the time being and when it starts to outgrow the 1L I will then look to double it's volume to a 2L and go from there.

>All dogs come from wolves we’ve domesticated and bred to have friendly temperament towards humans.

>Wolves can breed with dogs creating hybrids

>wolves can breed with coyotes creating hybrids

>Dogs can breed with coyotes creating a hybrid

Coyotes look like little wolves. Say we domesticated them, would we get a different type of “dog” after some time? I just saw a video of Foxes being bred and domesticated and they expect them to gain floppy ears and different fur patterns as they become friendly and behave more like dogs, so can this also be done with coyotes?
>>
AFAIK, coyotes are a bit more mesopredator like, so they'd be more akin to a canid version of a house cat. And foxes are that already.

Terrifying, but in an awe and respect sorta way. They embody what, to me, is so scary about the American wilderness. Big and deadly, but ultimately if you are smart - very fun and interesting. Bears are among those legendary creatures from all of human history, like Wolves and Eagles. Majestic and powerful.

Black bears are kinda goofy. I can always hear them crashing through the woods before I see them. Just don't startle them or get between their cubs and they are quite harmless in my experience.
Brown bears are scary AF. I was driving a 4WD on a wooded trail when a brown bear appeared at the edge of the treeline. It proceeded to run parallel with the vehicle for about a mile at 15-20 MPH before it disappeared into the woods. It freaked me out so much that I didn't get out of the vehicle until I got back to town.
For both black and brown bears, I wish people would secure their trash. I'm tired of picking up my neighbor's weed bags and maxipads from my side lot.

I have a small glass tilted jar and I was thinking it would be cool to grow something in it and have it decorate my room. I want something that smells really nice and can change the scent of a room.
I really love frankincense so I did some research and Plectranthus Coleoides seems easy to grow and kind of resembles the scent of the resin. I liked brittlebush too but that's not for small places and probably an ass to grow.

Any advice or recommendations? I really liked terrariums too but I don't know how to make one.
