welcome!

Some more time has passed, plants are looking healthy and getting lots of leaves :) Gave 8 away for adoption

Growing quite fast now, so moved them to their own containers 28 out of 43 had germinated, which is already a lot more than I have space for so decided not to wait for the other ones They're a bit leggy I think, so buried them quite deep

Three weeks in, most species have germinated :) moved them under a light

  Just 4 days in and the f1 habanero and the chinese 5 color are starting to arise :) germinator working well

Two years ago I planted some jalapeno's and had a thread about it here. I managed to harvest 30 - 40 peppers that year which was nice, but there was a lot of room for improvement. I also planted some habaneros and scorptions that year but too late in the season so they never managed to blossom...

My first harvest! 25 or so peppers, plenty on the plants growing still

  Thank you, and thanks for taking the time to answer all the questions! I'm going to harvest some green, and let others go red. How long will it take from the moment they stop growing till they turn red? Or do they need certain temperatures to turn?   The plants in the big pot have started...

  I wouldn't know, I'm sure theres lots of people growing peppers but I don't know any of them  ;)   So,update on my jalapenos. All my plants are blossoming and growing peppers. The peppers are quite long and thin and not 'shiny', not your typical jalapeno, but i'm sure they'll come out just...

So, by now I have two peppers growing and another plant has started to blossom so expecting some peppers there soon. The last couple of weeks weather has been great, about 30 degrees which is rare around here. I'm disappointed by how little the plants have grown though, they have pretty much...

  I'll try to be patient, we have a couple of really warm days coming up so hoping for the best :)       Thanks!

  thanks for the encouraging words :D the plant the that flowered is so small I can't imagine it can even handle the weight of a pepper haha, we'll see

Hi,   For the first time ever I'm growing some plants! I chose to grow jalapenos, so I bought some seeds and some potting soil and I got to it (without really reading into it first).   The first mistake I made was to plant about 10 seeds in one small pot, and then waiting too long to move them...

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm gonna combine the advice I got form Chorizo and Smokenfire, 'culling' the weaker looking plants (we're talking about involuntary euthanization right?), and using a water spray to rinse down the roots of the stronger ones to then move them to a separate pot.  ...

Hi,   I recently planted my first ever jalapeno peppers. I've never done anything like this before, so I made a dumb mistake (i think). I filled a large container with potting soil, and added a whole bunch of seeds to it. It's hard to imagine at first how fast these plants grow and how large...
