nice Japs calor...all my japs seem kinda small this year...don't know why yet but I will eventually figure it out..the plants are nice and healthy, just the fruit is small...
Same here AJ, my best Jalapeno Grande's have reached 7cm, most of them are around 5-6cm though.
They all look great,Keep the pics coming!!
Looking good Calor. BTW nothings ever boring with peppers

you know, it may be just me but when you take a bite out of those tabascos, they will bite you back pretty harshly and quickly but it doesn't last that long...I love their burn....
have you tasted the Caribbeans yet?

I don't think it is the soil because I have my Japs in two different kinds of soil...
It could be another growth hormone that specifically controls fruit growth/size...I am just now starting to get into the depths of plant physiology and growth...there are several members here that are doing close to the same thing..
It could be that the Japs require a different mix of nutrients than what I am using...it seems all of my peppers are on the smallish side this year...then again, it could be the dry heat we are having...it was over 100F something like 25 days in July...
As far as where to find it, I depend on the universities botanical departments...I just try and find a contact I can develop a friendship with and ask questions...Masters and Doctorate research is a fantastic source of information...and I don't mind paying for a paper if it is "good stuff" ... and then my old standby Googlin' it...
CaLoR said:Kinda boring but I'm pretty proud, just jalapenos for now. I have some orange habs and caribbean reds that are starting to turn, when they do I will post them in here. My tabasco and serranos are a few weeks farther behind.
Its kinda nice to have these with the salmonella scare.
Jalapenos never boring...visions of good eating. They look good. I was worried we wouldn't have any so I kept finding more, now we have a row of 12 plants...that makes me happy..jalapeno heaven.

I have tried the tabascos and I agree with you, for a little guy, they got a good little bite to them. I think they would be pretty good in some pico de gallo along with the japs.
Funny you should ask about the Reds, thats todays tester. I wanted to try one last night, but I was busy with other stuff. I'll get back to you on it later on after I try one.

The Red was Habanero hot no doubt, but its lingering around a little longer than one. Was kinda sweet in my mouth, until I swallowed it then the burn just stayed in my mouth vs. going down my throat like a hab seems to do me.
One other thing, as of right now, I dont feel it sitting in my gut like with a habanero, so thats good. I dont like that feeling that a little bomb is sitting in my stomach.
congrats on the harvest, & caribbean reds are tasty chiles! 1 of my favorites.
