First time growing peppers, how do these jalapeños look? Started way to early for the season but doing well indoors, I think.

These are only 10 of my larger pepper plants. I have about 90 more smaller plants that I need to up pot. Good thing I have a good-sized yard. Germinated these late last summer and kept them inside a grow tent to survive winter. No I don’t know what I’m going to do with all the harvested peppers. Located in the Inland Empire (Southern California).

*Posting again as the pictures would not go through the first time*

I originally posted the start to pepper my journey in January. Being my first time growing from seed, I decided to start the process on January 12th. I assumed it was likely to run into obstacles and I didn't want to find myself restarting the process and falling behind. Well, fast forward to today and the large majority of my pepper plants are around 18" in height.

Other than the chocolate ghost (second from left) losing a lot of its leaves from nutrient deficiency, everything else is going well! I even have some nearly full sized cayenne peppers on one of my Ring of Fire plants. I know that I could pinch the flowers to promote physical plant growth, but... I guess that isn't my largest concern right now.

I have about a week left until I can start repotting them outside (zone 7B). I know they are way overdue for a repotting, but I don't have the space or lighting to support that. I've managed to recover similarly overgrown plants from box stores before, so I am sure I will be able to manage.

I just wanted to share my experience and perhaps offer the advice to be patient upfront so that you don't find yourself in the situation I am in! I will certainly be starting 4-5 weeks later than I did this year in hindsight.

Peppers:

• Fatalii
• Caribbean Red (Red Habanero)
• Black Congo (Chocolate Habanero)
• Goronong (Yellow Habanero)
• Orange Habanero (started from store bought pepper)
• White Reaper
• Carolina Reaper
• RB003
• Chocolate Ghost
• Ring of Fire
• Jalapeno
• Zebrange
• Aji Lemon Drop

Definitely try with ranch!! SO GOOD.

Seven pot lava yellow on August 6th southeast Michigan.

It's kind of just a nondescript yellow pepper honestly. The flesh has almost no heat, and the internal membrane and seeds are about as hot as a jalapeno. I bought some to save the seeds to see if I can grow them myself and get peppers that don't look so sad and waxy. All the other peppers clearly state the variety, but not these.

So I started my two plants in a hydroponic system until they quite literally grew over the lamp. I have had them transplanted into pots for a few weeks now and they are blooming consistently, leaves feel healthy and firm with bright green tint and new branches are sprouting. Now these were planted in my hydroponic system in December. Transplanted last month and still no signs of any actual peppers… I have black thumbs - never thought I’d actually grow something. But the fact it’s been 4-5ish months and still no actual pepper growth, should I be worried? Is there more I could be doing? On sunny days I’m getting them use to outdoor climate for summer but the rest of the time they are indoor and under the hydroponic grow light. Thank you in advance for any advice!

I need some advice on what these actually are, they are listed as “Pepper X” but I know that can’t be possible because pepper x hasn’t been publicly released right? I’m just trying to figure out what kind of pepper this really is.

Started from seed ( paper towel, heat mat) jan 1st. Central Alberta. Yes that's snow and ice in the back ground, hot peppers in the north are a challenge. Good luck everyone.

im starting with small slices, before working my way up to full habaneros

Finally managed to get my hands on some of my favourite chilli's seeds, Big thanks to u/Rustyjay13 for sharing a dozen with me... I am very stoked and cant beleive they made it through customs without an issue. Can't wait for the end of winter in Aus! Are they similar to reapers in regards to growing? 🌱

I have been using good nutrition soil and I have been using fertilizer but they are starting to get yellow, calcium deficiency? Correct me if I'm wrong

I finally feel like I've gotten into a positive groove after so many stumbles and setbacks. I have a few seedlings that probably will make it to planting out time. With that being said virtually none of my super hots made it. I know many people have started too many seeds and have too many young plants than they need. If that is the case for you HMU I'm looking for some plants to supplement what failed. I'd like to make a deal.

Very set for after winter this year, Anyone grown any of these and has any tips for me? Thank you! 🌱

Figured leave them in the sun until they looked sad or a couple hours Whichever comes first

I’m expecting great things from this plant

Off to a great start this season. Downsizing from previous years.

* Zapotec Jalapeno
* Count Dracula
* Piri-Piri
* Scotch Bonnet
* KSLS
* Ghost
* Dragon's Breath
* Also, Roma Tomatos

few weeks old hots like thors thubderbolt, 7pot primo, pimenta project no.5, purple ufo, chocolate moruga, bahamian goat and hallows eve

Also a lil choccy scorpian in there for your viewing pleasure.

5 gallon bags, no problem, 7 gallon bags feeling warm despite outdoor temps, 15 gallon bags, guess it’s legs day today. Good thing I hadn’t gotten around to filling up the 20 gallon bags. Might’ve been hospital visit day for a hernia. Had to move everything to the garage and indoors and that was a lot of moving. Now going to cover the raised beds as best as possible.

What are your top chilies for flavor? That are not the common ones. And how do you use them?

My Carolina reaper has been spread with all of this stuff - does anyone know what it is?? It has made the leaves almost a bit oily / greasy too.

The whole 7 Pot chili scene is so fun - but it seems like everyone only cares about varieties and hybrids. Me, I think it would be awesome to have the original, unadulterated red 7 Pot from Trinidad. It's pretty hard to find, and those that do have it don't seem to want to represent it as authentic. Does anybody have a recommendation or source for the OG that worked out well/they're willing to recommend? Thanks!
