Your peppers please!

[VincenzioVonHook]

You popped these only 4-ish weeks ago & they're already showing flowers?????? I wanna know what kind of secret sauce you're feeding them! You'd have to be in the Southern Hemisphere, right?

I popped some Birds-eye, Habanero Red & Naga Viper seeds a few months ago & have only just up-potted them today & they're tiny by comparison.

I know chillies are a non-photoperiod plant, but that's just astonishing!

Yep. In Qld Australia. Middle of summer here. They aren't as big as they look. Those smaller pots are only 2.5 and 4L, and the bigger pots are only 10" (9L)

Here's one back on the 25th of November. The smaller ones hadn't popped yet. So five weeks now give or take a couple of days.


I've heard chilli's like hot weather, but I didn't think they would take this well. I think they liked the tent to begin with.

I'm hoping there's some habenero or hotter in there, but the smaller/flowering ones look like some type of dwarf chilli, and I don't kno about the rest. Funny as the tallest one is in one of the smallest pots too. I was actually wondering if it was normal to flower this early/small.

Ah, there you go then - bloody banana-bender! No wonder you're getting such magnificent growth results.

I'm on top of a mountain just out of Melbourne, so everything is slow to start & slow to grow down here.

Side by side cold frame starts for Peppers and Tomatoes this season past.

First Peppers showing on the smaller plants.




This was them 12 days ago.


I know zero about Peppers. Does anyone have a rough idea what these are by structure alone? I've had a few people tell me they are overfed due to the dark greens, but I'm using a $6 potting mix and haven't fed anything supplemental yet.

Not a lot of peppers grow up. So it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out once the fruit starts to ripen. Thai are the most common of those.

Pepper does not like the soil as hot as tomatoes. But I think yours is alright.

bottom left is a jalapeno that's been cut way back. Bottom middle is a hawaiian pepper, bottom right is a hybrid of the hawaiian and jalapeno. inside the tent are celery and broccoli. I had to bring everything inside since the temp dropped to freezing last night. I love the hawaiian peppers.... they have a nice spicy sweet smokey flavor. The hybrid is more jalapeno like.

 

[Radicle420]

Pepper plot from last year in July. We usually do 80+ varieties every year. I comes out to 60 hot peppers and 20 different sweets.

 

[injinji]

My hot peppers are not keeping up this season. (I actually bought a six pack of Jalapeno) I've got a bed of mini sweets and cali wonder bells at the sandhill garden. . . . . .


as well as the riverhouse.

 

[Billy the Mountain]

I've not tried the Fatalii Yellow yet, they look like yellow Ghost Peppers but not quite as hot.

I was surprised to find Reapers and Ghost pepper plants locally last year but got burned by
a bug infestation.

Back to seeds.

 

[TerryTeacosy]

Naga Vipers up the back are doing well. The Habanero in the foreground, not so much. The Hab's aren't really cutting it for me.

Birdseye are starting to ripen. 'Should've topped them when they were younger, but it's just a learning experience.


I'm going to take cuts of the best-producing plants to maintain over winter.

Erm..... Yeah, there are a few "other" plants in the greenhouse.......

Hello everyone. Just recently started an indoor vegetable herbs room and seem to be having a problem germinating my peppers

Never done this before most of my other veggies r up but none of the peppers. Do they need heat mats, more time or someone other than me lol?

were in the uk, and we use heated propagators to start all our peppers and tomatoes

 

[MICHI-CAN]

Mine are barely not stretching. Still rain snow mix around here. Come on 45F lows.

 

[cues]

Also from the UK and I also use a heated propagator. Got a little 10w burple I use sometimes to start them off. Generally grow peppers, tomatoes, basil and coriander in two x 2x4 foot flood and drain tables in an East-facing conservatory. Also a Wilma system. Mainly got spring onions and runner bean seedlings in there atm though. This years seedlings are still indoors in coco. Outside I have a solar powered nft gutter system i use for growing strawberries, courgettes, cucumbers and water mint.

Believe it or not, my whole weed-growing journey started because I wanted to be able to start chilli & tomato seedlings indoors early in the season (I live on top of a mountain outside of Melbourne, Australia, where we have relatively cold winters & occasional snowfalls).

I started researching inside growing & guess which is the most widely indoor-grown plant, with lots of information????

The rest is history........

 

[waterproof808]

almost got enough of these 7 pot yellow primo peppers to make a nice batch of some ultra hot sauce. The plant was sick for a while but I pruned it way back and it has recovered nicely and now is about 6ft tall with a decent amount of peppers starting to get ripe. The red pepper is a mystery pheno that is decently hot but nothing compared to the yellows.

 

[injinji]

I transplanted a few pepper plants this morning. Four cayenne and one each of hab and (not pictured) hatch.

Harvest time!

These are a couple of the Naga Vipers that I grew in coco/perlite this year from seeds I collected in 2018. They were all from the same batch of pods that were all small & yellow back then, but a few plants this year have produced chocolate-coloured fruit & some of the pods are around the 8-10cm mark. If there was ever any doubt that Naga's are an unstable 3-way hybrid, it's been proved to my satisfaction (I actually prefer the chocolate ones).



I also collected a few Habanero's, but I'm not happy with them (that's the red ones that look nothing like a regular Hab.) & a swag of Birdseyes.


I can forsee a big batch of Salsa Roja & an even bigger batch of NV hot sauce in my future (something to do whilst I'm in iso. from fucking Covid).

I like making crunchy garlic chili oil with the birdseyes. Put that shit on everything.

Well I'm keeping mine in pots for a bit longer. Lows n the 20's mid week. And greenhouse is a shed it seems this year.

The pepper. Such beautiful fruit. They just don't look like something that has the potential to bring so much pain.

I have a Thai chili I've been growing for a few years and saving seed each year that I use to make Prik Nam Pla. I don't know what specific pepper it is as Thai Chili is a pretty broad description since so many peppers from that region all go by the name Thai Chile.

Anyway, this stuff is good on anything as well. Chilis, fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, a little sugar. It's delicious just on a bowl of plain rice.
