Hi. Question above. Last year I grew mostly habaneros (reds and orange) and some carolina reapers. I still have some seeds from last year so these I will not buy, but I'm looking for something new to grow as well. What are some of the chillies you grow that taste well? Any...

Could someone tell me what's wrong with my last year's batch? As seen on the picture, the top part of the sauce got much darker. I didn't like the taste of this sauce anyway, but I kept it sealed on my shelf just to monitor if there's anything changing...and it seems like it is.  

This might turn out stupid question, but I don't know anymore whether these plastic caps are absolute garbage, or I'm just retarded. Until now I've always used metal caps without the pourer inside, this year I wanted to try plastic caps with a pourer. Where I bought the caps, I was told that you...

I have some questions about my equipment for making of the hot sauce.   1. Last year when cooking hot sauce I simply used litmus papers for measurment of pH. I simply dipped them into the sauce, and rubbed the hot sauce gently off with paper towel. Now, unless hot sauce tainted them to the point...

Sorry for posting this question, the links I found in other topics show me as 404 NO PAGE FOUND. I plan to cook some hot sauce in next few weeks, but I need a pH tester. Until now I've been using litmus papers, but they get easily tainted by color of the sauce, so I plan to upgrade. Surely, as I...

This is the first time I'm dealing with any sort of pests attacking my habanero plant. Few days ago I noticed some aphids on my leaves, but I only started paying attention once I saw some sticky honey-like substance on my leaves and pods when harvesting them. Haven't had much time to deal with...

So I have some plants that I need help identifying, or confirming they are what I bought them as.    So, from left to right:   1. I have no idea what this is. Friend gave me seeds thinking they were jamaican scotch bonnets.  2. Yellow Bhut Yolokia. I had this one overwintered from last year. 3...

I live in Central Europe. Temperatures this summer hit approx 35°C in July and August, similar to last year. I have all my peppers planted in big containers, away from the rain. Last year this time of the year I already had few harvests behind, at least 10 peppers from each plant. This year -...

Hey. last year I posted pictures with my first ever plants I started from seeds, which were Jolokia yellow, and Carolina reapers, some habaneros. Pics can found here: https://imgur.com/a/UkkljMT   I had some issues with them during the heatwave in Europe, but at the end I ended with a lot of the...

Hey. I started my first ferment 3 days ago.   Ingredients I used: 3 red peppers, 1 yellow bell pepper, 6 garlic cloves, 1/2 red onion, 2-3% brine and whatever I had left of my last harvest of peppers (reapers, habaneros and bhut yolokia yellows) I made a cross with chopsticks and put them in the...

Hello. I'm thinking about varieties of chillies I should grow this year. Previous season I grew following:   * Carolina reaper * Habanero orange * Bhut Jolokia yellow * 7 Pot Jonah   Think I'll drop 7 Pot Jonah for this year as I really didn't like it. Would you recommend any additional pepper...

Hi. Late December I harvested the last peppers from the plants (I know, crazy for central Europe). So basically I have some Yellow Jolokias, Carolina reapers and some habaneros left.   Last time I made a hot sauce out of these ingredients, I used some sweet bell peppers, turmeric, vinegar, lime...

Hi. Over the last 2 weeks I cooked 2 different hot sauces they both turned out delicious.   Sauce #1: Based on tomatoes. Carolina reapers, ghosts etc., some lime juice, vinegar, onions, garlic, salt. Roasted, blended, simmered and then filled into flasks. Delicious but Extremely hot.   Sauce #2...

I know this is kind of late. The season is over, the batch of the sauce is cooked, however now is the time to identify these. They are not as ripe as they should be, as I harvested them early due to bad weather.   Anyway, when I got the seeds they were marked as (from left to right): EDIT: As...

For me today will be the first time ever making hot sauce. I got this recipe from my friend, and I want to know whether you would add something/change?   500g chillis (I have some reapers, habaneros, Bhut jolokias yelllow, scotch bonnets, 7 pot jonahs) 2 red onions 4 garlic cloves 2 tsp of salt...

Hi. Would you guys know what's going on with my plant? It grew great, lots of pods on it...however in last few weeks I noticed that new leaves are sort of weird and really small compared to older ones.   Also, could you tell from pods which chilli is this? The seeds were sold as Carolina Reaper...

Hello guys. I'm a new grower from central Europe. I'm aware that I might be doing some mistakes as a beginner, but I'm doing my best for my plants. Anyway, long story short:   I planted 4 plants of different chilli plants. Two of them are Carolina Reapers, one is Jolokia Yellow, and the fourth...
