Take time to review your process and comment so other people might learn.
How was seed starting? Any problems with specific seeds / vendors? Did you like your setup or would change something?
How was the initial growth stage from sprout to small plant? containers / watering / management?
How was transplanting? hardening, containers, spacing, timing?

Every year I plants so many pepper plants because I think some won’t produce and every year I’m wrong. I still have about this many on the plants still ripening

Just picked these beuts the other day. Flavor was so good, used for a hot sauce I made.

Things are starting to heat up a little! 🔥🔥🔥

The peppers are starting to ripe, so thrilled and at the same time afraid to taste the moruga green.

This batch made a very fragrant blend. Looking forward to trying it on some chicken today. Bought some little spice tins so I can have my coworkers try too. And then, I'll look at making little spice Christmas Gifts.

Finally got around to making my first sauce of the year.
Mostly yellow/golden cayenne(10), with 2 Habs and 2 jamaican yellow which were frozen from last year. The cayenne are fresh.
Other ingredients:
Yellow bell pepper
1/4 yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
8 cubes fresh papaya
A package of frozen pineapple pulp
Spoon of honey (clover)
Pinch of sea salt
Juices of 1 squeezed grapefruit, 2 lemons, 1 lime
Bit of vinegar white
Water to elevate ph
So, ph came a bit low for my taste at around 3.3 to 3.5... maybe the bit of vinegar was not needed.
Spiciness - it's lacking that ghost after school that I am used to. Quick burn, but mid level. Lingering for a bit.
I like it enough to give away a few bottles to friends/family.
Happy peppering!

And it makes me happy.
Usually it's just a worm and a denuded stalk.

If not, what are they? They don’t look like the regular reapers I’m growing, but I’ve never grown these before and I got pepper joe’d on a couple others this year

I've got a pepper variety called "Why Not Peach" and on two separate plants, I've noticed these brown spots appear on pretty much all the peppers. Some larger than others and some appear when they're unripe.
I can't see any insect damage and it doesn't look like blossome end rot but I could be wrong. Any ideas?

First time pepper grower here. My Trinidad Scorpion is starting to look pretty good after surviving a hornworm attack 🐛. When do y’all recommend giving them a try. I’m getting pretty excited!

Hey everyone, this is my very first time growing any kind of plant in my life, and I decided to start with a Habanero Lemon (I’ve bought seeds from a Supermarket and only one survived😅).
I planted the seed around early April, and lately it has started growing much faster and the stem is getting stronger.
It gets sun from morning to evening, with a bit of shade from a cycas during the hottest hours (about 1–3 PM). I usually water it every 3–4 days. I’m really attached to this plant and I check on it every day.
Since I’m a total beginner, I’d love to know what you think about how it’s developing. Does it look healthy to you? Any tips or advice would be super appreciated!
Thanks a lot, I’m really excited to learn from you all.

The fruit grows in bunches and they dont get to big. They go from green to red when ripe. I've read when they grow upright in bunches like that its ornamental? Disapointing if true because i wanted to eat them but it does look cool
r/HotPeppers • u/habbyhobby • 13h ago
Also, they somehow taste hotter than my habaneros?
r/HotPeppers • u/Standard_Fisherman69 • 18h ago
Jalapeño, habanero, cow horn, cayenne.
Is the plant in the second pic definitely a cayenne? They always look a little different on that one.
r/HotPeppers • u/DashiGuy • 17h ago
I feel like these have a few more days before I should harvest. Am I right in this thinking? Sorry for the noob question, 1st year growing peppers.
r/HotPeppers • u/throwaway21491929 • 22h ago
There's Aji lemon, basket of fire, red scotch bonnet, orange habenero, jalapeño and red ghost pepper in there

Tag when we bought the plant said Jamacian Yellin Yellow. But from my understanding those are shaped more like devil's tongue/habenero/mushroom cap... These look like hatch to me. Would I be correct to assume they are? All the same plant, we left a few on to ripen longer and picked when they turned yellow. Yellow have a sweet, fruity start to the taste but then slowly creep to a burn equivalent to a reaper pepper. The creep is long and mean. Green have a bell pepper taste but same evil burn.
The burn is lip and throat/back of tongue burn. We are avid super hot eaters. This one surprised us on the heat level it gave us.
