I finally have 4 or 5 starting to ripen on plant 1, not long now.

Here's a couple of my 2 Red Rocoto's... Plant 1 Plant2

Are any of you guys that are growing multiple varieties doing any crosses?

I have about 30-50 red rocotos peppers on 2 plants non of which show the slightest bit of ripening. :(

I have 2 Red Rocoto's from seedsaversexchange.com flowering at the moment & one of them has purple streaks on the unripe green peppers, is this how they ripen or something else? Thanks

50.55

2 ounces of ewc's per gallon 1 tsp. unsulphured black strap molasses per gallon   or you could simply make a earthworm casting slurry...2 ounces of castings per gallon & shake the shit out of it every few hours a day before using is how I do it.

Comfrey is another source of potash.

The warmest of the two would be my suggestion. What are you germinating them in, soil, paper towel, etc? I wouldn't recommend a window sill especially in canada this time of year.

A few pics...   Biggie Chile Hybrid   Red Rocoto 1   Red Rocoto 2       Thanks man , I think it will be fun growing them. I'm hopeing I get some nice sized ones this season for hot stuffed peppers.     Thanks Nigel, which ones are you growing?     lol Same here, I seen them for the first...

Yes, it is a great book every organic grower should have. Have you read "Teaming with nutrients" yet, I gotta get that asap?
