Ok it must have heard me on reddit after I posted last night and it just turned red. How long should I wait until picking it? I want it to taste good, but I also don’t need it sitting on the plant turning into fire (if that’s how that works).

Chili peppers are getting huge. Taking forever to turn red haha

I've read a few times now that peppers like company, and that I should plant them pretty close together, like even just 1 foot, which seems awful close to me.

I'm growing hatch, ghost, and red habaneros this year, and while ghosts can stay pretty small, the other two get decently large and I think 2 feet between plants is a good minimum spacing.

Am I way off? Do they really like rubbing shoulders like that? I know the fruits can be sensitive to direct sunlight, but the plants seem to love as much of it as they can get.

🔥 Just got in some 🔥 new seeds from @ohio.peppers! Habaneros, Wartryx, and more—time to turn up the heat in the La Barba Ardiente grow room. Big things coming this season!

Who’s ready for some serious spice? 🌶️🔥 #SuperHot #PepperGrower #Habanero #SpicyLife #OhioPeppers #HeatFromTheHeartland #GardeningGoals#La Barba Ardiente grow room

Are there other hot sauces that are just pepper, vinegar, and salt, that are aged many a year? Nothing with extras added, such as Franks. I found a puree for Habanero and it's fantastic, but it isn't aged sadly.

Last year I grew using my old 5 gallon fabric grow bags. It was the best looking pepper crop I ever had. That being said;

What size fabric bag do you suggest ?

My jalapenos are super productive this year but they are no where near the size of jalapenos I see on the internet. My seeds are just labelled jalapeno. What is a good large jalapeno and can you get them in Australia? Thanks for any help

I found my pepper group again! I'm so excited I remember being in the Google plus group many years ago. I wonder if anyone remembers me or has any of my seeds I traded all those years ago. That was such a special time in my life. Had to share my babies again. Glad to be back.

This is my first year attempting to grow peppers. I ordered my seeds a few weeks ago from Texas hot peppers because they're close to me and on the recommended list for this sub. I went to plant today and found a pleasant suprise! 3 extra types of seeds. Ghost pepper, lemon starrburst, and school bus Karen all for free. The only downside is now I have to go by another set of planting squares.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the recommendations from this sub and also wanted to give texashotpeppers.net a shout out.

My habanero plant has this one pepper that started out with this orange color to it instead of the light green that they usually start as. I know they eventually turn orange when ripe but I’ve never seen one any other color except light green when they start growing. This is obviously a picture of it in a later stage but it was this exact color since it started.

I'm so excited, first time growing these and no idea how they taste. From seed to pod in 3 months. 2 litre bucket

I am an expat living in Europe and have been on the search for spicy and flavorful chilis in my new home country (which does not have much tolerance for spiciness, so it’s become a quest). Today I visited a nearby Asian market, and the clerk advised that these were very, very hot chilies, but she did not know the name of them in English. I have no idea what they are. Any ideas?

It's mid summer here, good garden crop

I've been thinking about trying to grow peppers for the first time, but wanted to know where everyone here buys seeds. What sites have you used and find reliable/best?

Why I want to get into growing peppers: I make homemade jerky and can only find habenaro peppers, or scotch bonnet but want to try a ghost pepper jersey. I also recently started trying my hand at making salsa and having my own peppers would increase variety.

After a rocky start last year, it’s time. Only my jalapeños sprouted last year. Hopefully I’ll have more variety with this seed supplier.

These were started 1/19, so nothing to see here. Just sharing the journey.

Left to right: Aji Mango Drop, Habanada, Purple UFO, KS Lemon Starrburst, Biker Billy Knight, Giant Red Habanero, NuMex Lemon Spice Giant, Ghostly Jalapeño

These were meant to be yellow scotch bonnets, one of the seeds were, but not sure what these are. Red habaneros? Red Savina? Red scotch bonnet?

Any ideas are much appreciated.

I was wondering if growing peppers from the same plant in a grow tent year round was feasible or more of a hassle than just growing new plants when needed?

If it is feasible can someone point me towards a guide on the life cycle of an indoor pepper plant?

Thank you for any assistance! :)
