I know that the seeds will likely grow hybrids, but will the peppers themselves be different than normal cayanne and jalapeno peppers? I am just wanting to make sure that the peppers THESE plants produce will be normal (as in the cayannes produce typical cayannes and the jalapenos typical...

So these Habanero pepper plants have been inside all their lives. They are pretty floppy and light green. I just put them into my germinating/hardening off box on my deck. Hopefully they will be nice and strong in about a week. I am also going to give them a really small amount of fertilizer in...

Hello, last Fall I left a good amount of ripe Cayanne peppers that were a little mushy in my garden bed, I thought the seeds would not survive freezes. I guess they did, all of these are self seeded Cayanne pepper plants. Has anyone else had this happen? Were the peppers good from them? I dug...

Hello, I have a bunch of Habanero seedlings that won't bend toward artificial light like they will with sun light. When I put them in a sunny window seal they will bend toward the light in about an hour or two. But they do not do this with an artificial light that I have, it has been three hours...

So over the past week some of the leaves on my Carolina Reaper plant have randomly turned half brown/grey and fell off. I water this plant every few days and make sure it does not get too wet. It is also kept at a constant tempature of around 72 degrees and is under grow lights in my room. Does...

Does anyone here know how to germinate seeds indoor when it is cool outside? I normally germinate my seeds by putting them into a coffee filter and into a baggy and putting it on the window. But, it won't work when it is cool outside. I tried the same method but using a heat mat and it almost...

Hello, recently my Cayanne Pepper plants have produced their second "round" of flowers. The first time they did this all of the flowers were still on and I left for a trip and when came back and I could clearly see the peppers. Now while I am still home they flowered again but now they are (what...

Hello, I have a Cayanne Pepper plant in a pot (plastic cup) and there seems to be an issue that has been going on for a while now. The leaves have a light weird coloration and also have spots on them. I give this plant a healthy amount of water but never let it get too wet and I fertilized it a...

How far apart should my peppers be so they do not cross polinate? I might have to move some, they are about three feet apart but I want to save seeds for the winter.

So my three Carlina Reaper plants are getting bigger now and I wanting to plant them in one of my raised garden beds now. I am wanting to plant them in between some corn and tomatoes. Here are some pictures. Does it seem like enough space? I would cut back some of the lower leaves on the corn...

I have some bell pepper plants that are suppose to not be spicy at all, but, one of the plants randomly started growing this pepper. I don't know if it is hot or not, but can anyone ID this? What is it? And of course, the pictures are sideways...

Hello, I am wondering what the best general fertilizer is for hot pepper plants? I heard that a slow release 10-10-10 fertilizer works well. What do you use? 

I know that to a lot of people on this forum Cayenne Peppers are just candy, but I still want to share this. I used the coffee filter and baggy method to germinate Cayenne Peppers. I put a lot of old seeds we had just sitting around from a long time ago in a coffee filter, folded it, sprayed it...

I bought a Habanero at the store, ate it, and picked out big clump of seeds from the middle out. The pepper was in a fridge twice so I am not sure if that hurt the viability of the seeds. I am wanting to let them dry out for a few days then try to germinate them. Also, the seeds are pretty well...

I have a pepper plant coming up from an old batch of seeds, and I am wondering if just one plant alone, with no others around it, can produce peppers with viable seed? Or do they have to have other plants around it to do that? What I am hoping (if I have only one plant germinate) that I can just...

Hello, I am looking for the most trusted online seed source for pure Carolina Reaper seeds. I keep hearing horror stories of people ordering seeds online and growing the plants only to have them be a completely different pepper than what it said it was. Can y'all give me a list of trusted seed...

Hello, I am currently on my second attempt germinating Carolina Reaper seeds. The thing I did wrong on the first try was I would water them then they would get completely dry within an hour, so they never grew. Now I have a humidity dome and heat mat and have a few questions about watering. I am...

Hello, I am new to the forum, so I am probably going to end up posting something in the wrong section as I am learning about the forum. I am new to growing hot peppers and I originally joined for help with some Carolina Reaper seeds.
