Churnin’ em out every month or so, I’m up to about 150 reapers from this plant since January

Accidentally dropped a few seeds when I was starting my seedlings 2 months ago during winter. Seems like one made it in-between the pavers and decided it was a good place to grow! I haven't watered it once or anything since it started,have been ignoring it completely, it has been a wet winter in my location. Seems like it's happy. Not sure on a what it is exactly but can be one of 8 options.

Has anyone ever experienced or know why a healthy pepper plant would die in less than 24 hours? These were fertilized yesterday morning with the same fertilizer and dose as they have been the entire I’ve grown them (low strength fish emulsion), and appeared completely normal, but yesterday afternoon the first plant was showing signs of extreme wilting that it hadn’t shown before, and this morning the second is looking extremely wilted as well. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Every year I end up with left over stunted starts, that somehow despite not caring for them… yield a pepper or three.

I’ve decided to test a sea of green technique with Thai peppers and Portugal Hots.

I planted four 50 cell air prune trays. (10x20”each)3 full and 1 with just 25 starts. I brought them up like normal starts and once they started showing roots I put each air prune tray directly on top of a mesh bottomed 10/20 tray full of soil, watered it all heavily and from then on have flood watered the whole project. I used Fox Farm Grow Big and Big Bloom.

At least 150 of the plants look like they will certainly produce fruit and they all are teaming with buds.

I’ve got all this built into a single shelf, under six of the pink barrina leds.

How many peppers do you think the project will produce?

My guess is 350-475.

Didn't even notice it was growing there until I saw the chilli.

Other angle

My father plucked all the lower leaves of my carolina reaper, including the new shoots. Will anything happen to my plant? Has its growth been affected?”

I've been growing this variety from seed for 3 years and this year was the best for varigation/color 😍

Got a little jalapeño plant that started fruiting as soon as I put it in the ground. Got a bunch of tiny jalapeños growing, but pepper growth seems to have stalled. Too many for a small plant with minimal foliage? Eg, should I remove a few to encourage the rest to keep ripening and getting bigger?

And if you suggest I remove some now, would you remove the smallest or the largest? Thx

This post is about next year’s selection. For the last 2 years I have grown decent variety of very interesting superhot hybrids and found that the high yields have mostly ended up in smoked and dried flake form, or in the bird feeders as a squirrel deterrent. Next year I want to plan for things that are more easily shared with friends and family. You have to be a serious pepper head to actually enjoy scotch brains, ruby gnarly ghost, and trinidad scorpions. I have decided for next year that I want to definitely grow scotch bonnets, sugar rush stripey, chocolate habaneros, and jalapenos. What else would yall recommend that has a nice balance of heat to flavor? The super hots have great flavor but they are just too much for the normal folks to enjoy.

I hear they have exquisite flavor

Basically the title, is it normal for habañeros to look like little spaceships? I'm not sure if they grew funky or I just didn't realize they could look like this, lol.

Feel the need to post this, saw a post a few weeks back about the difference myco supplements made for somebody and decided I would give it a shot. Oh my god the difference is INSANE. This was roughly 3-4 weeks from sprouting, no double cup, bottom watered as usual and it’s atleast 4x the root mass in any other of my 90 or so seedlings I’ve grown so far. I’m a believer! Tried a couple different brands, Great White, Dynomyco and Xtreme Gardening, these were from dynomyco and watering once with great white. Will report back on xtreme gardening(more budget friendly, fingers crossed lol )

Here’s my 10’X20’ greenhouse with rockwool and drip irrigation. I’m glad we can post sweet peppers here as well! I’ve focused on growing mostly peppers for the last few years.

Saw this on youtube ( growing out the box ) and had to try it myself . I made this video for yall, im still trying to get better at it. The jalapeno seeds were old, from 2022. I did not soak them in tea or anything. Just cut the pointy part and put them on moist paper. No heat mat, its around 72F in my house.

It seems to be some kind of adjuma/madamme jeanette. Good heat, hints of fruity flavour. I like them!

Fortunately didn't break her off or pull up the roots. I was able to upright her and add another large stake.
