I just germinated some Pink Tiger X Peach Ghost seeds and I am a little bit concerned with how this one is looking. I’m used to the vibrant green stems with bright green cotyledons but these are skinny, yellow, and the pinkish purple stem is throwing me off, is there anything I should do to fix them up?
Another season, another special babies - Sugar Rush Stripey has split its stem after first set of true leaves. Both "branches" are now normally branching further. As well, Buena Mulatas, every seedling I have, have weird cojoined branches, where each half, branches on.
I wonder, what is the cause for that?
What about everyone else?
Would you guys think it is a good idea to keep my chilis outdoors during the day and night Tuesday and forward. I’ve read many different temperatures that chilis could survive in but I’m not quite sure. What would you recommend?
8°= 46,4 ℉ 9°= 48,2 ℉
Anyone ever use them for growing peppers? I purchased the miracle grow performance organics bloom one it’s 8-8-8. Was trying to find reviews but couldn’t find anything. Am curious to know even about the other ones all purpose and the edibles and your experience with them.
Finally hardening off the largest of the 31+ but they are destined for the greenhouse.
Journey:
Seed germinator, Inside grow under the lamp, Hardening off outside, Greenhouse AND THEN Outside in the Summer.
Would you pot up now with this size?
Last year I ordered a grow tent and a few different types of seeds online and started these last fall indoors. This is my aji chombo. These peppers have become one of my all-time favorites just for their solid heat, very delightful flavor, and versatility. I got a couple peppers off of it in the grow tent but the plants were really wanting more space. I can't really repot to something much bigger so I just feed and feed and feed, but I've gotten a dozen or so peppers so far and it's in full bloom. Also, these plants took no hardening since they started under a 1,000 equivalent LED. I'm planning on keeping this plant for as many years as I can, and will cut it back and keep it in the tent in the offseason. I also have a reaper and a few Lester Williams reds. This is my first post here. I appreciate your consideration.
Next year I’m hoping to taking back a sunny spot from some blackberries and try getting them in the ground
Hey guys I'm very new to growing hot peppers and need a little help. I currently have habanero, Brazilian starfish, and apocalypse scorpion pepper seedlings and I was wondering what would be the best mix for them to thrive. I currently have 3 bags: miracle grow potting mix, peat moss, and perlite. I also have fox farm fertilizers. Any information or tips would be appreciated. I am mostly concerned with the soil as Im not experienced by any means; i would prefer to use what I currently have if possible. I read up quite a bit on this sub, and i have ordered lights and will use a fan like instructed in the begginers guide as im growing indoors. Thank you upfront.
May have previously overwater a bit, perhaps overfed probably not, the cayenne peppers leaves are wilting and I've noticed a slight wilt on the bought jalapeno peppers from a nursery.
its high res so it might look a bit healthier than it really is. tbf the red chillis are growing fine, it was green, then yellow/orange, then red and to a slighter larger size, its just the overall perceived health of the plant.
All my peppers. Carolina reapers, Trinidad, Tabasco, ghost, banana, peach habanero, red jalapeño, and much more
On my young scorpions
Has anyone ever heard of a Tabasco ghost pepper cross? My uncle sent me some seeds that he said were crossed and wasn’t able to find any info on the internet of anyone else doing it.
Forgot to label this one. Any ideas on what it might be?
