There's no way to say......too many variables here: soil, amount, timing. What I am concerned about is excess nitrogen could keep your plant in vegetative stage, not flowering and fruiting. Also overly pampered plants, excess fertilizer for example, may fall prey to disease..........or the habanero will not be as hot (!!) because of an abundance of water within the cells. I find our chile is hotter when we don't over water or baby it along. Chile peppers are very prone to disease if the growing conditions are wet. Be careful.

Plants do absorb some nutrients through their leaves, particularly nitrogen and some micronutrients. Nutritional sprays are commonly used in agriculture, particularly on fruit tree crops. Something like the miracle-gro (soluble fertilizer) would work, applied at a moderate rate. Plants tend to "green up" rapidly after a foliar feeding. It is an old caretakers trick to include a little urea in any sprays applied to crops. This provides a quick green-up" that makes the caretaker look good :) .
Having said all that, habaneros should do just fine without special treatments, unless your plants have gotten unusually yellow for some reason.

$h!t NO!!!!!!!!!!! to be exact! you will burn the Heck out of the Habenaro or any other plant that you do that to!
See, most fertilizers are a SALT BASE, salt burns!
P_oop is also sort of salty.
To prove what I am saying I would have to give all the chemical breakdowns of the different fertilizers that you mentioned.
No! I am LAZY! you figure the salt content if you doubt me!
Any how Salt strips the roots of their ability to take up WATER and NUTRITION. SO too much fertilizer is like taking a BLOW TORCH to the roots!!!!!!!!!!
And then thinking they can survive to take water and food up into the plant as a whole!

The tomato vines are already ineffective so no could desire to kill them. they could desire to truly be taken up in the fall and burned or taken down the top as they could have blight spores. they could desire to be tremendously dried up ineffective by now so purely pull them out now and ruin them. no could desire to apply any weed killer in any respect. i've got heard a vinegar answer will kill moss, yet is it which you're extremely desirous to sterilise the soil beforehand becoming something there? Addition:- finished some checking and vinegar will burn and kill some weeds reckoning on the variety of vinegar. 5% acetic vinegar will basically artwork on youthful weeds, yet you desire 15% distilled vinegar for others. that is sturdy on dandelions apparently. the suitable is to apply heated vinegar as a on a regular basis utility for 3 days yet you do could desire to be careful approximately respiration the spray. inspite of the actuality that it motives a upward push in the soil acidity tiers that is purely non everlasting because it degrades over some days.

A liquid feed like seasol will fix any minor nutrient deficienies it may have but over feeding it can destroy your plant.A bit of sulphate of potash will provide strong healthy plants and fruit!If you do both anyway in small quatities it shouldn't be too bad but no need to.Excess nitrogen will give twice as much growth but it will only be leafy growth!

You don't want to feed a pepper plant. They produce more leaves if you feed them, but you are after more peppers, i guess, and they tend to produce more in poorer soil. If you must feed them, you want to choose something like comfrey liquid or tomato fertiliser, which will encourage flowers --> fruit.
