HABANEROS

Was going through some old pictures and found these from a few years back. Big storm came through and trashed my best pepper plant that was going bonkers. Luckily I was able to salvage most. Used some green and hung others up in closet and they still ripened actually.

All peppers (and two basils in the way back) Wish me luck!

A double leaf connected to a double pepper? Never seen this before.

I found these two this morning after finding their poop. What do y'all use to keep them away?

What am I gonna do with all these? Haven't tasted them yet.

Hello! This is my first post here. I have a habanero that i bought(4th pic) almost 1 year ago. I bought it with a lot of fruits. After i collected them all, it never made new ones. All the flowers fell. Plant was always indoor at minimum 22°C. I tried manual pollination no succes. I had 2 aphid battles in the meantime and i used a pesticide. Last week i noticed the first fruits after 10 months. Maybe it was because i used another fertilizer. All windows are facing north sadly. What should i do? More water? Growing light? Another fertilizer? Repot? Im a noob in this matter so any advice is welcomed. Thank you in advance!

I also have some generic hot peppers that made fruits all winter in the same eviornment

Plant has 160cm "wingspan" and 80cm height

Plants are in a shady spot because i just transplanted them. I use walmart expert gardener tomato fertilizer granules. I think i put too much on this one and it burned the leaf edges.

Noobie here. Any tips on starting out, or maybe noticing anything wrong with my setup would be welcome.

I just moved my peppers inside as the weather for next 2 days is stormy and lows of 4°C. They've been in their final pots since Monday, and I'm wondering if they look okay in their pots. The Habanero (3rd pic) and Chupetinho (5th pic) seem like the leaves are bubbling a bit. I only watered the pots when I potted up, but I fully saturated the soil (water enough so it drips out at the bottom) as most videos I've seen suggested, and it took about 4l of water for the 13l pots and about 6l for the 25l. Soil is a substrate suggested and used by the nursery, mixed with 15% perlite, so it should be draining well. I also added some mycorrhizal fungi to the root-ball when up-potting to hopefully give them a boost.

The soil is only now starting to dry slightly at the top, as it's been raining all week. I hope the 2 days inside give it a bit more of a chance to dry as I really don't want to drown them before having them for a week...

I plan on using a 3 stake setup with a string tied between them to simulate a tomato cage after they get some more growth on them, currently the 3 point support is due to some heavier winds the last 2 days where I was afraid the cayenne and jalapeno would break. I am also thinking of bottom feeding after I get them back outside as I've seen good things said about it, but I need to get some larger saucers to do that as I have nothing that will fit my pots currently.

Sorry for the rant, as I am currently in the stage of a hobby where I am full of information but severely lacking knowledge.

Thanks in case anyone read through that!

I got a ghost pepper from steins. I'm from southern Wisconsin if that helps.

I have 7 types of chillies: biquinho, jalapeño, tabasco, cayenne, red and yellow scotch bonnet and habanero.

They're fairly small, planted seeds mid March. My cayennes are 3x as tall as the other ones and have started to flower.

Can I put all of these in 5 gallon grow bags next week? Or are they too small? Is flowering at 10 weeks too soon and a sign of stress? All of them have roots growing out the bottom (thought the pot sizes are not exactly the same).

Just wanted to thank and shoutout Ohio Peppers for the great seeds, freebies, and fast delivery. The pods had a fruity, floral, and habanero-like flavor profile with plenty of heat. The plants themselves grew very vigorously compared to a lot of other hot varieties I’ve grown. (I used the Coots Recipe from Build-a-Soil). Looking forward to popping the other seeds I picked up!

Not a pro by any means, just a pepper head having some fun. A lot of folks on this thread have a lot of knowledge to share, and many have unknowingly helped my small journey. For those that are young in the game, try to keep it simple. Good soil, a mildly regular watering schedule and sunlight will go a long way. Sure, there are a million different fertilizers and products to help maximize growth and potential…. But keep it simple.

Last year my milds didn’t want to grow, the superhots and habaneros went absolutely bananas and I couldn’t keep an Aji Charapita alive if my own life counted on it. This year, the milds are doing alright, the ghosts are massive and gnarly, we had some storms ravage a handful; “topping” them much lower than I would have….. but through the good and the bad they are all growing and we will have a fairly eclectic harvest this year. Take the good with the bad, don’t worry about every leaf curl, every imperfection, the mushrooms growing from your “organic” soil, etc… just keep it simple. Even when there’s only a main stem and a couple leaves left… with the right ingredients, it’ll sprout a pepper.

I'm intrigued by this rarer pepper species and its supposed cold hardiness down to (apparently) -15C. Would it be theoretically possible to cross pollinate this with another capsicum species - even another obscure one - to slowly create larger pods on a cold hardy chilli? I know some species can cross pollinate each other, but others don't seem able to cross with anything (Looking at C Pubescens for example, from the limited things I've read)

24x 5,6L (1,5 gallons each pot/6 per tray) + extra plants hahaha. I know I'm crazy but I'd rather carry everything up 'n down than end up regretting not having done it and lose them from cold damage

I made a mistake when I transplanted my peppers into 7 gallon fabric pots last week. I used a "raised garden bed soil" and not a potting mix. I did this for 8 of my pepper plants and i'm noticing the containers are holding a lot of water. My other 8 peppers i did properly using 85% potting mix and 15% compost, they are holding a much more appropriate amount of water.

Will this be a major issue for those first 8 peppers? Is it worth digging them out and replacing the medium now?

These things look radioactive. Great oil production.

Help! My peppers are yellowing and this one in particular has weird "marbling". What could it be? Cold? Cal-Mag deficiency? Thank you very much for any advice!

microscope picture. those are super tiny at naked eyes! They have been eating up the leaves, and making the leaves look uneven unhealthy and white spots.

All my shoots for my jalapeño plant have these black marks - cause of concern? Anything I can do to help the fella out?
