I enjoy growing Coleus. Seedlings typically do not get their "true colors" until they have at least 4-6 sets of true leaves in my experience. Lighting can also have a significant effect on the color of the leaves. My Coleus have very vivid , bright colors when grown in my grow tent with a fancy...

I noticed (in my experience) that the purple/red Tulsi (holy basil) doesn't get its color under LEDs. Once I put it outside the coloration developed. It is normal for the leaves to be a bit wavy.

Orange Habanero 🤷‍♂️:lol: I haven't grown any superhots in a long time.

Seed Savers Exchange offers a nice variety of heirloom bell-type peppers. I'm not a fan of most bell peppers, but I do remember liking the "Sweet Chocolate" from them.

When I used to have a garden and could grow many varieties, I would sacrifice the disappointments to the hornworms...because they are pretty cool when they aren't devouring my favorite pepper plants! Plus I enjoyed watching the adult moths nectar at my Daturas on summer evenings.

In no particular order... Orange Habanero (and brown, and white are certainly good too) Jalapenos (not store bought though) Serrano Jwala Aji amarillo Aji cristal Bhut Jolokia

I have a SpiderFarmer2000 at about 50-60% (at 100% it was turning all the leaves yellow). I don't know the actual specs/measurements. 13hrs light/11hrs dark. I don't usually top the peppers, but I definitely prune and shape frequently. I also keep them quite small, in small containers, as I...

I'm sure this will change by early 2024.... Outside on balcony: Hungarian Hot Wax Jalapeno M Jalapeno Orange Spice Japanese (either Hontaka or Santaka depending on winter grow tent comparison) Jwala (either Pusa Jwala or Bangalore Torpedo) Grow tent: Orange Habanero Jwala Surti Marcha TBD...

Totally Tomatoes, Tomato Growers Supply, Chile Pepper Institute, and Seed Savers Exchange are my favorites.

I grew it years ago. I remember it had decent flavor when ripe, but very little heat. It was quite prolific too.

Ah yes, much like Indian peppers but seemingly worse....search a particular cultivar/variety name and you get several different, or different looking peppers. Kitazawa Seed used to have a few varieties before they changed ownership. They still list them, but the images/descriptions look...

Yes I've grown them for years. I keep one in a grow tent so that we have fresh leaves year round. My wife (she's of Indian descent) and I eat mainly traditional Indian fare, and we use it in many dishes. It definitely goes great in egg preparations (fried, scrambled, omlet, bhurji) with a few...

Yeah the seeds take up most of the berry. I always eat the fleshy part before sticking the seeds in the soil. I detect a slight bing cherry flavor along with the curry leaf flavor.

Have you tried the curry-leaf berries? Definitely a unique, pleasant flavor. Maybe it could be described as a cherry blended with curry leaf?

An Indian Jwala type pepper called "Bangalore Torpedo" I got from SSE. The fresh light green peppers taste great chopped up and used as a condiment. Obviously useful for cooking with too. A little less hot than the Pusa Jwala, but same flavor.

Yes, it definitely was loaded!I had plenty for myself and some to share with a couple of our Indian neighbors.

Maule’s Red Hot

One of the Surti Marcha I grew out. Love the shape!

I've been chasing those upward growing De Arbol for awhile but always end up with the standard variety. Maybe I'll order from Sandia and test my luck. I haven't seen good PC1 in forever! The last ones I grew out ended up with more of a pequin size/look.

Yeah I know, that's why I at least gave them a try. Must be the temp was too high for these ones to stay viable.
