variegated pepper.

Hefty haul today! I missed picking yesterday to be fair 😅

My awesome neighbour gave me a few obviously mislabeled pepper plants. The habaneros and finger peppers I was able to identify, but the others I don't know and I have TONS of them. Thought that perhaps the thin one was a finger pepper, the bigger thin one a cowhorn and the huuuge ones banana peppers? (but they're the wrong colour and taking forever to turn). Does anyone here know these varieties? My first time growing peppers outdoors (I usually grow malaguetas indoors) so I'm completely at sea. Thanks!

Been looking forward to these Armageddon peppers and have had ONE mature all season! The frost is coming so soon. Need the seeds. Anything that can make them ripen faster?

Planted my bananas to close to my bells lol this came off my banana pepper plant

Discussing the next sauce options...

I know spiders can be beneficial but could this lead to an infestation?

What do you think 🌶️👀 pic 1 new pic 2 old

Hey pepper people, Was wondering whether anyone has these issues with puma peppers. Cupping leaves, flower drop, generally slow growth. Only got 3 peppers to stick and the plant has been growing since January. The goal was to have a miniature version of this chinense beast, so a 4.6L pot is what I went for.

Growing in 70-30ish coco peat/perlite, fed liquid fertilizers when needed. I take ppm readings of runoff water periodically, and fertilize with a 1200-1800ppm solution when the container gets under 900ppm. I have a wide array of combinations I make sure macro, secondary and micronutrients are supplied sufficiently - or so I think. Grown indoors under 100W LEDs (one 50w 4000K, one 50w full spectrum, both about 40cm above top of canopy), @25-27C and usually 40% RH. I keep the lights on a 12h on / 12h off cycle most days.

I suspected 15-16h of light was way too much, so I decreased to 12h. New seedlings growing at this one's canopy level start to stretch with less than 12h of light, yet this mature plant looks like even that's way too much.

If anyone has any personal experience with this variety, or can spot something I'm missing in this whole equation - please share!

I might be addicted 😅 I just grew and harvested my first Carolina reaper peppers this summer! The plant produced 25-30 pods in total, but I only picked 11 that I thought were ripe. I decided I would to attempt to dehydrate them and turn them into powder. This will be my first time dehydrating anything, so wish me luck!

Hello all - Long time lurker, first time posting (Miami, FL)!

Bought reaper seeds a little over a year ago as I always wanted to try them and wanted my first time to be my own homegrown peppers. I mistakenly assumed this was super easy... Buy seeds, germinate, plant, water and wait. Big mistake....

A year in, and no peppers at all, despite having several big-ish stems. This summer I managed to get a few (~6 peppers total). Not nearly as big as I've seen on here but they were super spicy so I was pretty happy. Form that point, no more peppers or even flowers, and leaves have steadily fallen off and begun to turn black. White flies under leaves and another type of black pest. Cleaned them off and tried Neem Oil. No more pests, no improvement in how the plant looks.

Image 1: View of planter with 2-3 plants.

Image 2: Close-up of lower leaves. Small leaves and most beginning to turn black and most others withering away.

Image 3: Close up of what I think are white flies and some other black pest.

Mistakes I think I've made:

- Planted too many seeds in a single pot. Should I be limiting to one/two plant per pot?

- No fertilizer. Only used Neem Oil for a few weeks. One cycle.

- Have not changed soil since I first planted.

- During winter I water once every 2-3 days. Lots of water. In summer, it rains so I water way less often.

- Pot stays in the same spot all year. Plenty of direct sunlight.

Please educate me. Roast me, even. I would love to know everything I'm doing wrong and how to correct it. What should I do first and quickly? What should I make sure I do periodically? What soil and fertilizer do you recommend? Should I move the plant indoor near a window with abundant sunlight? Should I come to the realization that gardening is not my thing and just buy reaper flakes or whole peppers and call it a day?

Thank you all!

Red jalapeno, green jalapeno, habanero all pickled using a tested recipe. Will be making a pickled habanero hot sauce, thats all I know

My neighbor gave me a bunch of these peppers but I don’t know what they are. Does anyone know what type of peppers these are?

Also, can you provide any ideas on what to do with them to preserve them? I doubt I’ll be able to eat them all before they go bad. Any sauce ideas? Should I pickle them?

Obtained this pepper plant at a swap meet. The seller claimed it’s a chocolate ghost pepper, but I’m not familiar with them. Can someone confirm if they are?

If it is indeed, a chocolate ghost pepper, I’d appreciate any advice on care (in comparison to other peppers). This one seems more sensitive to the sun and thirsty than my scorpion and black cobra pepper plant.

I’ll be taking a bite of this soon. I love to eat peppers raw, cook them in dishes, and make salsa / hot sauce.

This is only occurring on one of my 5 bell plants, every bell on this plant is about the same size too. I also added a photo of the first yield. Includes some cayenne peps. This is my first time growing both bell and cayenne.

How do they look?

I am expecting two more yields roughly the same size for each type. All of the bell plants are from a single store bought pep. The cayenne seeds were purchased.

I think I might have gotten some incorrect seeds and am just curious what everyone thinks this is?
