Oh! I had no idea, this is the first pepper plant I've seen with a fused leaf. I've only been growing them for a few years though, so maybe only 50-60 pepper plants in my lifetime. Well sorry for the uninteresting thread folks 😅

Thought I'd share a pic of this neat leaf I found on my Poblano plant. It looks like two leaves fused together! Perhaps fascination of some kind?

Update: First plant isn't  fully healed as its still showing some symptoms, but it is significantly improved and pumping out (5) peppers! Both edema and symptoms on second plant are improved, but not to the extent of the first plant. Things I changed: * Switched from 1/4 strength to 1x strength...

I'm very excited for them! They were the plant I most looked forward to before finding out none made it to final pots lol

An Aji Charapita sprout! Illegally smol 🥺

I do recall reading a study not long ago on the differences between capsaicin and other "spicy molecules", specifically referencing piperine. It talked about how the tissue response, directly correlating to how spicy something seems, for capsaicin is logarithmic but in the opposite direction as...

One of them finally sprouted! Now in several months I'll finally get to see what I missed the first time haha

Honestly it took a long time for my superhot (ghost) to fruit as well, much longer than any of my other plants. It kept getting bigger and bigger, and just dropping flowers without fruiting. Then one day it exploded with peppers and continued to pump them out the rest of the season. That's...

The already mentioned rareseeds (Baker's Creek) has been great for me! No mislabeled seeds and good germination rates. Fair warning they are owned and ran by kind of not great people without getting too into it, but if that doesn't bother you they have good product.

Unknown what varieties they are. I think one might be a kalugeritsa. The seedlings all got mixed up when I was transplanting, so most of the plants are mystery plants until their peppers ripen.

You are probably right haha It just strikes me as odd but I get it.

Darn! Why is ghost pepper even on the package then 🤣

You're braver than me haha I don't plan on biting into one any time soon 😅

They're not very spicy in my opinion, maybe the spice of a fresh jalapeño. The flavor is very smoky and interesting tho! Just thought I'd share I wonder if they actually taste like ghost peppers, seeing as I've never had one 😅

Coffee with chocolate! 🙂 What type of food do you cook most? (Mexican, French, etc.)
