  I actually ended up with around 140-150ish that popped up. I actually lost a big chunk of them shortly after this, took an overnight trip and alot of the smaller one dried out and died. I ended up getting 15-20 from the dry seeds but they were maybe 7-10 days afters the rest popped up. I kept...

  This is true, I expect the dry seeds to pop up eventually. But it was right around 24 hours soak for everything except for the H2O2, they spent the night in water and soaked in the H2O2 solution for about 30 mins before planting. I might try another one some day that I let them soak in the...

  yeah its pretty insane to me how well it is working. the count as of this evening is   tea: 42 H2O2: 32 water:29 dry:0   So i am already over 100 seedlings haha

Update time! Day 5   First seedlings popped up today! we have a very clear front runner and those of you who were rooting for dry... don't get your hopes up too high! haha H2O2 bath pre-plant: 10 started plus 1 clear helmet head Soak in plain water: 8 started plus 3 clear helmet heads Soak in...

I had pretty good success last year mixing cayenne powder and water together and just spraying a line I didn't want them to cross. i sprayed all the way around my raised bed last year in a continuous line. I think the smell/ spice of the pepper powder throws off their scent trails or they just...

  Thats pretty much what my reading have shown, soaked the peroxide ones in the 1.5 teaspoons per cup last night for about a half hour as i planted up the rest of the seeds. I planted every thing in a tray with burpee seed starting mix, so now the waiting game begins!  

  I havent put them in the peroxide yet, was just gonna give them a quick soak before planting, probably something along the line of 1.5 teaspoons per cup.

  I dont know how significant / accurate they will be, im not exactly going about this all that scientifically haha  they indeed came off pods that dried on the plants, they were sealed up/ I couldnt get to them for roughly 2 months so some of them spent a good while on there. if the germ rate...

I over-wintered my peppers in a makeshift greenhouse this year, it kept them alive and happy enough that they kept producing pods all winter long. Unfortunately since I had them sealed up I couldn't get to a majority of the pods and they went bad/ dried out on the plant. This weekend I finally...

  I actually have a couple from when i first built the shelter with it all lit up.    

  Unfortunately alot of them are going bad on the plant because they have been sealed up in my little green house for the past month or 2, i tried to pick the ones i could reach from time to time but i cant reach the entire back row or alot of the corners and stuff easily. 

i live in south east Georgia and was able to over winter my plants outside with small shelter and some slight prep. they seem to have survived pretty well, lost some leaves and some of the smaller limbs but the main branches and most the plants look at least halfway decent. they actually...

thanks again for all the info everyone! i popped the 3 off i had that were very bright orange last night. i tasted one of them and oh man! lit my mouth up! they are plenty spicy haha ive got a few more turning on other plants as well i will probably be closing in on a dozen ripe pods this time...

  it has been the same here over in Georgia. go for the tarp! i did and it has helped mine out alot i believe. if you look through my post history i put up some pics of my little shelter in another post. i have a pretty similar set up to you.

thanks for the replies everyone. seems like i get to pick a few peppers this evening after work! 

I finally have my first pods changing colors, my problem is this is my first year growing so i dont know how to tell when they are fully ripe and ready to pick? the little tag that came with my Habs shows them as yellow habs but mine are coming in a bright orange. they went from green to orange...

 i am in the same boat, my plants sound pretty much like yours do. i went ahead and built mine a little shelter to try to keep some of the rain off of them. hope it holds up well!       

it for sure has been rough here in the southeast, rain almost everyday for almost a week and a half. today has been the first truly nice rain/cloud free day. unfortunately they claim the rain is back tomorrow and the rest of the week. this rain is definitely hurting my peppers. ive started...

i haven't noticed any algae growth yet, but i wasn't really looking for it. guess ill have to check this evening. they seem ok, starting to show signs of over watering though, i wish it would stop raining everyday haha. Also thanks for the advice everyone i guess im gonna let the mushrooms grow...

I am growing in a raised bed, When i went out this morning to check on my peppers and i found that a ton of small gray mushrooms have popped up in the past 24 hours. we have had alot of rain the past 3 days, probably over an inch each day. i am pretty sure that is what is causing them, are these...
