I grew out 2 plants of Armageddon peppers this year. I had a lot of difficulty finding any information on this variety, and none of the sites I purchased seeds from list it. The best I could find was this 6 year old thread (which includes a comment that ironically says to give them 6 years due...
Took an updated picture of that 7 Pot Cinder, plus one of my Death Spirals. Those two varieties are by far the most gnarly I have growing.
Edit: Apologies, but I can't figure out how to rotate these. They appear with normal orientation on my computer and phone, but rotate 90 degrees when...
7 pot cinder f3. This photo was taken at the beginning of the month. It's almost completely ripe. I'll try to remember to upload a picture when I get home this afternoon. Last I looked at it, it looked to be staying true to the desired caramel pheno.
I just went through the exact same thing. I transplanted about half my peppers into better soil, since I had used some cheap soil from Home Depot that had very poor drainage.
I didn't rinse off the roots. I just removed as much of the large clumps of poor soil, and re-potted in better soil. ...
I've seen multiple references to Bishops Crown peppers having a much higher SHU rating (5,000 - 30,000) than Mad Hatters (500 SHU). I haven't tried Bishops Crown to confirm that heat level, but I grow Mad Hatters, and 500 is just about right.
I've heard that many ornamental varieties of chiles can make a decent powder, which probably won't add much flavor, but will add a bit of heat to whatever you put it on. I haven't tried this yet, though (none of my peppers are considered ornamental).
Thank you for reporting your results. Yours were the only results I found.
My takeaway from your results was that topping slowed initial growth, which resulted in less overall production.
However... It also seems like you had a short season.
Does this seem a fair assessment?
Its been my...
I'm going to blame autocowreck on my phone for that one lol! Even though its ironically easier to type an ñ on my phone than my laptop...
I agree on Fishapeño Red and Fishapeño Orange, but it should be Purple Fishapeño, not Fishapeño Purple. The first one rolls off the tongue much...
The fact that I fit a stereotype of new hobbyists will not stop me :)
But space considerations in light of the information shared in this thread may force me to pick between a possible fishapeno and experimenting with vezena piperka crossed with... well, I'm not sure what yet. I was thinking...
