    chinense My ghosts are not ghosts?

    I bought a couple of ghost pepper plants this year because I didn't get my seeds started in time. The one is bearing fruit and the other is just starting. The peppers look like ghosts, but they have stingers and they do NOT smell or taste like ghosts. There is no fruityness at all, just heat...

    Help with pruning

    This is my third year with ghosts. The first year i bought plants and never pruned because I didn't know. Then I over wintered them and the next year they didn't take off, even after pruning. This year my wife bought two plants and they look like this. Lots of blossoms on top, and I nipped...

    scovilles More to Heat than Just Scovilles?

    I'm not a pepper expert, but from my experience, different kinds of peppers have different kinds of burn. Jalapeños burn my whole mouth with a warm heat. Ghost peppers send a searing line down the center of my tongue and down my throat, just like hot molten metal, then it spreads from there...

    2019 Hay Bale Pepper Patch

    I was just reading in one of our gardening books and it says roots can cover an 8 ft diameter and go down 4 ft in good soil. You should have a nice healthy crop this year.

    health indoor peppers flowering but no fruit, what's wrong?

    Its ok, we all make mistakes. I brought my ghost peppers inside and they have been doing pretty well, considering how little daylight we have right now. We live on the 45th parallel, so the days are short and the sun is low in the sky. I keep my peppers watered and they keep growing. I am not...

    Lol, 6400 watts would fry those plants and your house, its most likely the color temp of the light. I have water pans under my peppers and keep them full so the peppers stay moist.

    Hand pollinating

    I have been hand pollinating my 2 ghost peppers since they came in the house in the fall. I have harvested about 60 peppers from hand pollinating, and more are growing. Sometimes it doesnt work, sometimes it does. One thing I have learned is if I use my little paintbrush a couple of times a...

    breeding What are the odds that I'll get a cross?

    I have found that most plants will remain true most of the time. Thats about it. Sometimes the pollinators will visit more than one plant at a time and sometimes they wont. Bees are very intelligent and try not to cross pollinate. Peppers might confuse them because the plants look the same...

    seeds Pepper X seeds

    Exactly. I have seen other companies make similar promises and when it never happened they went belly up. It took a year or two, but it happened. Trust is a big thing and you dont want to lose it.
