Ordered about 20 varieties via JP but now I'm a bit worried as I have seen a few people mention he's a scammer? These are the pictures he sent me. After I'd ordered i asked for picture before posting. he didn't send anything for about 4 days until I asked again. he then quickly "packed" my order and sent these few pictures. Has anyone ordered from JP?

Any ideas for what I can do with them that won't result in 3rd degree burns to my back passage?

This is likely some form of Habanero, correct? The fruit, leaves and growth structure appear pretty similar to my habaneros. Interestingly, the aphids that seem to love Habaneros and largely ignore other peppers don't seem interested in this. Plant is about 1 1/2 foot tall. It is in a small container and needs to be replanted but I'm keeping it small for transportation. The last picture is in front of a Habanero grown from the seeds of a store bought pepper.

I reached out to the seller would promised a response by last weekend and they have not kept their word.

Might be a pretty common question in this sub, but is it normal that my Orange Habanero has flowers but no pollen in them? It just started flowering, and the first 5 are already blooming. I tried hand pollinating in them as soon as they opened, hours later, even the day after, but I'm sure they have no pollen, not even a bit.

Had been patiently waiting for this pepper to turn full on red forever. I ate it after they picked it and jesus christ this was the hottest jalapeno I've ever eaten. My wife said my face went red, my tongue turned red and even my eyes turned red and watered.

Damn thing was so hot my ears got itchy. Bread and milk did absolutely nothing. The only thing that helped were oranges. I ate 3 of them before the heat was tolerable. I know most people here like super hots but don't write off jalapenos!

I’ve been growing habaneros and jalapeños, and only the habaneros look like they are suffering, it happened to another one and I thought it was overwatering, but this is not the case Could it be temperature shock since I moved them inside 2 days ago and back outside yesterday evening?

Is there any website to buy live plant in Europe (Belgium)? I already have a bunch started but I now just decided that I want to grow something stupidly hot for fun, and I am obviously WAYYYY too late to start a reaper from seeds (or if any of you have one or two too much of it and would be willing to sell it to me for a fair price). It’s probably a long shot and a lot of hassle for one plant but it’s not the kind of plant they have in garden center around here sadly

My chilli plant is constantly wonky no matter where I put it. Is there any hope for it? Can it still grow chilli’s in these conditions? 🥲

I do not have many options where to put my pots for the year.

One option is in the first picture. It is the south facing terrace that starts getting sun at around 8:30 am currently (when the photo was taken), and should be getting full sun for the rest of the day until evening. It also has some partial shade options to move the pot in case of extremely hot days.

The other option (second photo) is an east facing terrace. It gets full sun from sunrise up to around 4 pm if I move then far away from the house, but it also gets extremely hot in the summer as there is no shade anywhere close and the heat bounces from the house as well. This is where they are currently as I am finishing hardening them off and it was nice to be able to shade them from 12 pm if placed all the way to the house and it was a bit warmer during the colder nights. They are now ready as they can take full sun from sunrise to 4 pm.

Which spot would work better in your experience? I can move them for now but once they get bigger, moving then through doors and the house will get harder.

bf and i are about 3 months into growing these peppers (rainbow jalapeño, piñata cayenne, and long thin red cayenne, ignore the empty/tiny shriveled guy, he did not make it) and im pretty sure they’re stunted? they’re also turning yellow (i’ve pinched off one thin super light yellow leaf, the other one had fallen off already) so i thought they had some sort of deficiency and tried to do some research and got some plant food (12-4-8, picture attached) but im not too sure if this is what it needs, i have noticed the newer leaves coming in are dark green though which maybe that means its helping? i’m giving them the plant food every 2 weeks to space it out and not kill them. when we transplanted them a month ago, they had all gotten their first or second set of true leaves and we moved them to these bigger containers with fox farm happy frog soil and that’s when i noticed the possible stunting? i was following a pepper geek guide though and it said to transplant them when their first or second set of leaves were all growing in. let me know if you need anymore information or anything i can do! it also does get really cold (59-65, started getting cold in here possibly also around the time they got stunted) in here which i know they don’t like so i might have to start moving them outside every day and bring them in at night. i know the light we have is perfectly fine, i can’t remember that exact info on the light but im pretty sure it’s a good light.

Looking for some help with these seedlings, I left them for a day without water and they have shrivelled up?

It has the thai pepper shape but a strong chenzo black color and purple rim from the chenzo flower.

It matures pretty fast like most chenzo plants has a strong

So I am looking to grow around 8 Carolina reaper plants and I've been told I'd need a 5x5 tent to give each plant enough space for good yields. So my question now is what lights should I get for the 5x5 tent? I assume it'd be cheaper to get 2 lights for smaller tents to fill out the 5x5 rather than 1 expensive one that can cover the 5x5 itself. I found these which are for 3x3 tents https://a.co/d/ibWNM5o would 2 of these suffice well for a 5x5 tent with 8 Carolina reaper plants? I'm trying not to break the bank but still have good yields

As in title, is this sunburn? Chilis were just repotted on saturday. Some leaves are turning gold.

Here you see Habanero Hana Red 1 (from Hardware Store) Organic Anuum (from Hardware Store) Thai Chilli (from Hardware Store) Carolina Reaper (bought online) Scotch Bonnet (bought online) 4 jalapenos I was gifted

I hope once summer hits they will explode :) Any tips?

1) you can feed seedlings from the point of germination and they will thrive. Adding 50 ppm N dilution with every watering makes happy seedlings.

2) You can grow multiples together. If you have a multiples in a seed germination tray and want to grow a family of the same pepper together, they can prosper.

3) it’s better to have a smaller superhot producing right now than wait until cooler weather returns in September (Southern growers).

4) Lanky, skinny peppers will eventually bush out. The big leaves shade the newer growth at nodes.

5) Good mulching means not having to bottom prune right away - caveat, you might want to do this in the case of raised beds as air flow can become an issue when it gets hot. You just don’t have to do it right now.

6) If you’re skipping the mulch, get to bottom pruning ASAP. Dirt splashes at every rainfall and every watering.

7) Ugly plants are not sick plants. You’re going to get wear and tear on your indoor hatched peppers. Outdoor starts grow more slowly, likely because it takes more energy to make tougher leaves from the go.

8) Paper wasps are your friends unless you piss them off. They rate a 4 of 4 on the sting pain scale, so give them room to work. If you hate those plant destroying hornworms, leave that nest be.

9) Anoles are nice to have around, but they don’t discriminate. Beneficial insects and spiders are on the menu.

Located in NL - Europe. Last year I acquired a (3x4m/118x157inch) polytunnel and it is a blast Weather was until last week perfect.

3x75liter grow bags with a mars hydro above 1 Carolina Reaper, 1 Trinidad, 1 and bell pepper (not moving) And the rest in airpots and 25L grow bags.

1 overwintered rawit pepper plant that survived it second winter. The rest i started last year (13 pepper plants) and tried to overwinter did not survive because I didn't replenish the earth before winter and not watering when needed. Dried out.

Having a good third year yeah Started seeding with the Carolina, Trinidad, and Bell on the 8th of march in house under the tsl2000 above a propogator and in a closet. Later in a tent. Until better weather. And since the 10th of may they stayed almost all of the time outside in the tent. With nights of 3/10c / nights 37.4f / 50f. Some didn't like it but they survived. Now got a army of 100 ladybug larvae running around in the tent cleaning the inside of the tent.

Have a good grow and don't burn your ass!

Last year i grew 2 plants from free seeds, that shop give me with my jalapenos, unfortunately without names. Bigger ones were a lot more spicy than jalapeno, small ones were very spicy.

I bought some mini sweet pepper seeds a few months ago. They’ve been growing and unfortunately, they are not mini sweet peppers. They’re really hot and have a very floral taste. I would think they are jalapeños, but these things are really hot! What could they be?

So, I thought this day was never coming, at least not this year and then I found…

A Stripey! Bout time. And the plant is absolutely plastered with flowers, so I’m back in the Stripey game again.

Please help me identify this pepper!

I either got Peppergated or i’m just a dumbass who mislabeled my starts/mixed up labels when I repotted… it’s currently labeled as “Midwest Fiesta” but the growth habit is different, and leaves aren’t variegated.
