Unfortunately they did not. I suspected that they were smoke dried, so my expectations were low.

Serrano Tampiqueno in the grow tent. The peppers are hiding under the foliage.

The Maule’s Red Hot (no pictures) is quite flavorful and has good high level jalapeño heat.

Some Bangalore Torpedo. Definitely hotter than I expected. I was expecting medium heat. Not a problem though!

Orange Habanero outside.

Update: Everything is going pretty good so far despite battling a thrip infestation (thank you Spinosad and Orius Pirate bugs for helping me). Moved outside: Maule's Red Hot Bangalore Torpedo Surti marcha Mexican Sunset F1 Orange habanero Grow tent: Wiri wiri Serrano Tampiqueno Surti Marcha...

I think you have plenty of time to get a decent harvest!

Update: I grew out a CPI (NMSU) purchased Orange Habanero in my grow tent. It passes the eye (fruit shape, plant shape), nose, and taste test! The one I sampled was the hottest orange hab I've had in a long time, but almost everything I grow in the tent seems hotter than normal.

The Surti Marcha have started germinating, which is the variety I am most excited about this season. Hopefully the others aren't far behind.

It will be interesting to see what those Pepper Joe seeds end up being, as they often end up being something other than what you thought you ordered. Have you heard the expression 'You've been Pepper Joe'd"? Good Luck!

USDA zones are more about potential minimum temperatures, and not so much about average day/night temperatures or length of growing season. Two different regions may have the same potential minimum temperature, but have vastly different climates (precipitation, number of frost free days, maximum...

Yeah, not much at all! I don't even know if they grow upwards or downwards. They certainly did have some good heat and pungent flavor though. They are sold green, but I did manage to find some partially ripened, so fingers crossed that the seeds were mature.

Chilli Pakora (and other types of pakora) with a side of fried chillies. Also a chili plant of some kind growing in the landscaping next to the Pakora stand. Surat, Gujarat, India.

I just got back from India, so I’m starting a week or two later than normal. Pictured are Surti Marcha or Surat Chili, supposedly the hottest chili used in Gujarat. I’m excited to try and grow some. As they are very similar to Thai chillies, most people wouldn’t be as excited as me to grow...

I still have my Vaquero Jalapeño, a Pusa Jwala, Guntur Sannam and Kahari Mirch outside on the balcony, as I haven’t had a frost or freeze yet on them. Winter peppers are growing in the grow tent now…below are Serrano Tampiqueno, variegated Thai, Pusa Jwala, Orange Habanero, Jalapeño M, and White...

How are those Beaver Dam peppers? Do you eat them green or red or both?

Sorry I'm not of much help in that regard, as I usually go for flavor and versatility, and honestly I think almost all types of pepper plants have an appealing quality.

Try growing them in containers under a grow light indoors. When I first started growing peppers in a grow tent and spiderfarmer2000 light, I didn't really know what I should be doing with the light intensity. It turned out that having the light at 100% intensity on the adjustment knob bleached...
