Ripe meaning red? I personally like them better when they are still yellow(ish), the flavor and aroma is great.

Aji amarillo (ripe), Aji Cristal (unripe), Ripe Jalapenos (home grown), Orange Habanero (home grown), Chiltepins, Fatalii, to name a very few....but there are so many flavors out there!

What about Tabascos, or many of the other frutescens? Also many of the "birdseye" and cayenne types from India and parts of Asia are quite hot. The "Aruna" I got from Seeds of India is very very hot and tasty! Also, some "De Arbol" chiles can be very hot, but others not so much...

That doesn't look like the cultivar "Prairie Fire", I think tags got mixed up or seeds mixed up. Prairie Fire is an edible ornamental with small green leaves and yellowish  ripening to red fruits.

Another possible cause (although unlikely) is a high dose of fertilizer just when the plant is leafing out after winter, I have done that a few times and it seems not all plants respond the same way, many do very well! They usually grew out of it though in a similar fashion to herbicide damaged...

Hello! Those Cabe Gendot sure attract my attention! Let me know if I can buy/trade some seeds from you sometime....although in terms of trade, I really don't have anything interesting/different right now. Thanks!   Sorry, I wanted to PM this to you but your mailbox must be full! I can delete...

Yes, Jwalas are typically light green, and very wrinkley, eventually ripening to bright red.

Well I suppose there are Cayennes, and then there are Cayenne-type! My favorite Cayenne-types are  the Indian varieities "Jwala" and "Aruna" for using green, and if you consider "De arbol" a Cayenne-type I like them for drying ripe.

Absolutely nothing like the Aji Amarillo IMO!  but I also really enjoy Aji Crystal (aka aji verde in Chile), and Aji Omnicolor for taste (unripe and ripe!) and production.

Sigh....I deal with this every year, I rent a townhouse and the property owners have the surrounding lawn sprayed every year! As others said, just pinch the wierd looking stuff off. Some plants seem to grow out of it quickly without pinching, but others just get messed up bad! Tomatoes really...

Unfortunately there are several species of Treehopper/Planthopper with very similar looking nymphs, so it is difficult to say it is one or the other without close examination.

Not a mealybug despite the strong resemblance. It is a nymph of a type of treehopper. Despite their name, they can be found on all types of plants. Definitely a pest though!

Haha I thought this was a joke at first. Maqusari almost sounds (when pronounced  a little incorrectly) like "Make-you-sorry"

NOT A MOSQUITO!!! Looks like some type of very small assasin (reduviidae), which would be a good thing, but I can't say for sure....definitely NOT a mosquito though!

To be more specific than my first post, in terms of what I use most often (because of flavor and heat profile), it would be "Aruna" a cayenne type from India that I use green, Jwala, another cayenne type from India I use both green and red, and Serranos which I use green. For some reason I have...

Any prolific hot Thai or Cayenne type that I can use fresh and green or red and dry!

I noticed that some baccatums (Like Amarillo) are very sensitive to Nitrogen and grow huge leaves and long lanky stems when soil is "too" fertile, and also if the soil is "perfect" Plants will get huge, but produce much less fruit than plants grown in sandy dense top soil. This has been my...

Yep, they are not an issue with good sized/large healthy plants, but they WILL eat the roots to sprouting seeds causing death, and also slow down growth (or slowly kill) small seedlings. Ever have a seedling mysteriously fall over without wind being a factor, because they barely have a root...

The wasps only use dead/aged "wood" fibers for nest building, so they won't do damage to live/green stems.

Real Serranos are less than 3", anything consistently 3" or longer is almost certainly going to be a hybrid. Some of the well known popular seed suppliers like Burpee, Park Seeds, Johnny's, etc. sell new hybrids with large size.
