I have that problem with a couple of my bell pepper plants. They are geting bigger though. They don't look like it, but in reality, they are. The weather has been so CRAZY this year, nothing suprises me when it comes to peppers not growing like they should. At least here in Indiana.

How old were the seeds you used? Old seeds can stunt the growth of plants in my experience.

Did they get root bound before transplanting? I had a couple plants that were forgot in the greenhouse this year and were never planted. They are 6 inches tall and bearing very small fruit. I am suprised they are even doing that.

I started a couple Poblanos late this year...and only one made it. It's still
less than three inches tall, after surviving multiple leaf-attacks by insects. If
it survives, I might pull it out of the ground for the winter....otherwise, I'll
just start new seed next year.

pepper_guy,

I really don't know about the seed since I bought the plants from Home Depot, so it might be that the plants arent the greatest. They are extremely leggy too.

If they are leggy, then they are not getting enough sun (at least most of the time that is the cause).
