I have only two ghost pepper plants left. One of them has this weird rot beginning to form on many of the peppers. Any chance one of you might know what this is and how to fix it?

Thanks! I am spraying with neem right before dark so that it does not dry. The same with the watering. When I water it is at dusk. The temps here in CT have been in the mid 90's for much of the month. I also calmed down on the ferts as I felt like all my other plants were growing to large...

This is my 7 Pot. The only 7 Pot I have. It has a ton of peppers on it. The leaves are curling badly and they are starting to feel brittle. I was giving it Bloom Along Bone Marrow. For a while I was giving it Alaska Fish Fert. I don't see aphids on it. I am afraid it is dying. (I get...

I hope you're right. I have really been looking forward to trying one. I'll take a few more picts next week.

They actually seem to like my tabascos and the hole mole. There were aphids though, it seemed like this maid service has taken good care of it.

These gals were at work all night into the morning!

Helllllllloooooo all! I have two plants that I purchased a couple of months ago from a nursery in town which I were told were bhuts. Personally, I believe they are but I am no expert. Here is a photo of one of the pepper plants that is now producing peppers. I tried one of these peppers way...

Although it had no heat, it did have a smokey sort of flavor. I am going to wait a few weeks before picking another one. I also have a set of 7 pots and those peppers have a nice heat and a full flavor.

Congrats! They look great, I can't wait until mine look like that. I might have to buy some myself. I'm anxious to try one

Thanks. The weather here in ct has been in the mid 90's with thunderstorms here and there. I have been watering with the garden hose only during the first signs of wilting. About very three days. My fertilizers have been chicken poop then two weeks later fish and a boost of calcium. I will...

That's great news. I was really bummed out last night thinking that these plants might be duds. I will give them time and pick'em when they are ready. Thanks so much for the quick response!

I have three bhut plants. Two I purchased from a very reputable nursery. The pods started to set about three weeks ago. I got overly anxious to try this pepper so I cut one pepper that was very light green and about an inch and a half in length. When I cut it open, the seeds were light green...

I had a similar experience today with my first ghost pepper. The pepper was not ripe yet, it was a light green but I was dying to try it as I have never tried one before. I chopped it up, added it to salsa and at the whole thing on a chip. Nothing. Not even a little hot. Do ghost peppers...

Aphids do suck. I have about 750 Lady birds left. Will they attack the aphids and the ants? Will they battle it out?
