Looks good!

@HellfireFarm @CaneDog perfect! Thank you!

It's definitely a gorgeous plant, one I'll have to add to my grow list!

Hey @Englander this is a beautiful plant! Hopefully I get to grow it at some point! Something that I noticed and wanted to ask about: from my perspective it looks like there are multiple fruit per node-could this be a C. frutescens type?

@kizonis your call on the fertilization. Just my opinion, I wouldn't pinch off flowers but that's just from my anecdotal experience, and again I've not overwintered peppers before. I still think it might not be a bad idea to take weekly pics just to track growth and take some notes on what you...

@kizonis it sounds like you're dialed in with fertilizer types but I am curious about how much sun, water, etc. the plants have been getting for the past few weeks. One reason why I say this is because you mention that the jalapeno is doing the best, and it looks like the jalapeno is the only...

@kizonis how long has it been since they leafed out?

@HellfireFarm @Crazy Monkey @CaneDog @growyourown @Pr0digal_son I'm planning on building trellises for the three C pubescens types that I'm growing (Rocoto turbo, Rocoto de Seda, Ecuador Red PFH). How tall should I build the trellis? The pots are about 14-16" in diameter. I do plan on...

@Marturo hopefully it didn't seem that I was giving misinfo regarding the root bound part-I was assuming that the plants were still in very small seed starting cells. @SwingDog looking forward to an update

My pleasure! Looking forward to seeing the pics of your pods!

@SwingDog I'm also interested in seeing pics. Typically when I hear the term 'bolting' it refers to leafy greens (such as collard greens, cabbage, lettuce, etc.) flowering and going to seed, which changes the taste profile and frankly means the end of the harvest season for those greens...

Not necessarily! A few things that I do that have reduced transplant shock in my plants (and it seems to keep them from breaking stride in growth): First, I let them get lightly root-bound before transplanting, and when transplanting, make sure the soil is on the dryer side. Doing this means...

@CaneDog @Marturo @Bou @Tinkerbelle @Karpasruuti I started the process today. I started by boiling some water and creating approximately 1:10 ratio of hydrogen peroxide to water solution. Some bowls were washed thoroughly with soap and hot water, the solution was put into the bowls, and the...

Thanks! Regarding the light, I think I can find a spot that has longer periods of less intense light during the summer.

I'm happy to report that I have germination from all three types. I've also decided that I'm going to try growing all three types, and patiently play the long game in hopes to have a harvest later in the year, and then overwinter them. I've got three pots, greater than 5 gallon volume, and will...

Thank you for the info! Looks like next year I need to try a few more baccatums!

Thanks for your help folks! I suppose (like so many other pepper types) that it's worth just growing and seeing how it does in my yard! @BlackFatalii I've never tried those Aji types-what makes them stand out above the sugar rush peach? I know that most baccatums have that soapy taste, do these...

Holy smokes that things is going gangbusters!

Over the years, I've tried a few C. baccatum but keep falling back on the old C. chinense favorites, as well as a few C. annuums for variety. I've never quite caught the spark for C. baccatums despite trying a few over the years. There is a little variation in feedback on Sugar Rush Peach...

@Englander many years ago (close to 20), right when the superhots were just gaining traction, I posted a very long thread on GardenWeb about the Bhut Jolokia, Ghost, Trinidad 7-pot, Trinidad Scorpion, etc. all having a lineage that traces from Trinidad back to a single type of pepper in India...
