Uh, the first 10 in 10-10-10 (nitrogen) will encourage leaf production.
I know you know that, but it may not be apparent to others.

I am not doing anything special to grow them. As I said I have used 10
10 10 in the past but I guess I won't be doing that anymore. Makes
sense now that some of the peppers from last year were really small.
These were not bell peppers. In fact if anyone is interested, the
peppers came from Sams. Sams sells a bag of yellow, red and orange
peppers that are great. I planted the seeds from them and have been
growing them for about 3 years now.
