OK... it's been a few weeks now.  I had placed some of the green Fataliis and Datils in a paper bag with over-ripe bananas and and an equal amount on a plate on a window sill (no banana).  Most of them have turned no matter where they are.  There are a few stubborn ones that aren't turning but...

Thanks for finding that thread for me... it's very helpful.  I've now got half the green peppers in a bag with a ripe banana and I have half in a sunny place.  It will be interesting to see what happens!

Hi everyone   I had an unexpected freeze and had to harvest my datil and red fatalii peppers while most were still green.... though some had turned.  My question is: Will they still turn?  And if not,  I'm open to suggestions of how to make the best of the situation.   Thanks  

  Yes... I am pretty sure the lower one is Bishop's Hat.... I'm just not sure about the top two (which are both off the same plant).

  Pretty close.... Brazilian Starfish pics look a little later.... I don't know. Maybe....  certainly not very hot....

Hi Everyone....   I have 2 plants, both labeled as Bishop's Hat but they produce 2 different kinds of pepper.  Can anyone tell me what is what here? (top two are the same.... )   Thanks Charlie  

Hey..... win, lose.... sprout, don't sprout.... It's all in good fun just hanging out to watch the banter and enjoy the humor of the members here!  My seeds are still being stubborn but I'll keep plugging away for another week or two.  Whatever happens you can count me in for next year!   Thanks...

.... still staring at the wet paper towel..... nothing popping yet.  Maybe I used the wrong brand of paper towels  :confused: ???  

  Indeed... and the brewery is just down the road....  !!

Done!  Nuked the fu*kers.  Local brew in one hand..... Azamax in the other....  Time will tell.  

OK! Thanks everyone.  I'm going to nuke 'em with Azamax and see what happens..... the product mentions "kills mites" so that's what I will do.  I have isolated them already.   I don't think it's calcium or magnesium because I water every other time with cal-mag and none of my other plants are...

Hi everyone   I have not come across this malady before..... but this is only my third year of growing so I'm no expert.  It's not aphids, I know that.  It is affecting only these 4 plants of the 30 I have.  They are all different pepper species.  Any guesses?   Thanks    

The seeds arrived .... thanks!  Six more days till the show begins!

Oh look.... now that the aji blanco crystal seeds are no longer under pressure to perform.... they have relaxed and decided to sprout!   :rolleyes:  I'm in on the  "new, improved" version of this throwdown..... why not!      

  .... still waiting for my seeds to pop in lucky number 7.... been since Valentines Day.  I'm keeping them covered, wet and 85º....  I'll keep my fingers crossed!  (I have sprouted 96 seedlings this way so far this year so my method is working).
