Default time for some more questions...

as the season starts to draw to a close im gunna start bombarding you all with more questions as i try to draw up a plan for next year...
ive been looking through some old posts reading and trying to glean as much info as possible and here are some questions i have developed...

1) Windowsill chillis such as priarie... how big do they grow height and width

2) stupo referred to a weak 'high phosphate' solution on his chillis for root developement, can this be used pre-germination or just after germination and is it good for all veg??

3) how weak is a weak solution?

4) he also mentions a weak 'high potassium' solution when chillis first start flowering, is this applicable to other veg too?

5) In the bhut jolokia diary thread there are pics of feeds with NPK's 15 30 15 and 15 15 30, ive checked all my chemicals and they come no where near this NPK level the best i have is phosphate 17 and potassium 10, should i be investing?

6) if these weak solutions would help with all veg is there time limits for both? or should i just go from one to the next when the flowers start?

7)i had a problem with my peppers earlier in the year, when i repotted i found them a bit wet round the roots so i hardly watered them from that point on, as in once every few weeks unless they looked wilted. this helped so much now they are even flowering, the set back means no peppers for me most likely but the learning curve is worth it. also my cabbages which were outside and watered regularly had 'burnt leaf tip' or somethin like that which come from lack of water, can water requirements really be so different?

8) with windowsill plants do you have to pollunate them manually?

9) First earlies... need some help here, do these all grow faster than none first earlies? can u plant them late for a quick late crop (i read you can plant early peas late to get a crop but this may just be because u started growing mid season)

10) what types of veg have early varieties and are the crops smaller than none first earlies?

11) can i add compost that isnt fully broken down to my containers and expect things to grow if its dug in well?
