Grew a scotch bonnet pepper plant from seed self pollinated and all

I grew a scotch bonnet pepper plant indoors . self pollination, and all

I’m originally from the Caribbean and grew up on a farm. I missed the accessibility to food and lately have not been able to get any peppers from the grocery stores in my neighborhood. On the whim, I thought to plant one starting from seed, I use a hydroponic station to get things started and then once it got big enough, I transferred it over to a bigger pot. The pot that I have right now is still not big enough, and I have plans this week to get something bigger. Not sure if I should wait for the remaining pepers to ripen a bit more before I do that yet.. The tricky part of this process was pollinating it because I had to grow this completely indoor, the first batch of flowers that blossom I killed off just so that the plant could strengthen its roots a bit more. but the second batch, I started to pollinate myself using fallen flowers that still had pollen in them and rubbing them against each other ( how provocative) to transfer the pollen. Tried using a small brush but I didn’t have as much luck with that. I was able to harvest at least 23 to 24 peppers this time around.
