Hi, Joe.

I'd chalk it up to differences in growth rates, not nutrient take-up.

Longer-lived creatures often grow slower than those with short life spans,
and a pepper is an annual.

I have a pepper plant among my orchids, it grows about, let me guess,
say 20 times as much mass an an Oncidium nearby. Would this indicate
the relative availability of nutrients to epiphytic roots Vs terrestial
ones? I feed them the same nutrient solution. Lazy.
