  I'm not familiar with Southern pepper sauce, but im assuming it could be very similar. I've heard of hawaiian chili pepper water being compared to Puerto Rican "Pique". Essentially its just water, white vinegar, salt and chili peppers. Some people, like myself, add sliced garlic, ginger, and...

Harvested a few of my first Hawaiian Chili Peppers to make some Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water. The plant hasn't had very many buds for the past couple months, but now there are new buds popping up all over the place. About to be chock full of peppers. Super excited.  

  :lol:

  Copy that, mahalo for the reply guys!

  So just double checking. It's safe to leave them in the direct sunlight and get soft and droopy? On some occasions, the leaves will undulate too. Is that normal as well?   Thanks for the reply sirex

When I leave my pepper plants in direct sunlight, the leaves get soft and flaccid and begin to droop. Is that an indication that the sun is too harsh or is that normal behavior?   According to weather report, highest temp today is 86 degrees (F) with 55% humidity.   Most of the time, once I move...

Kind of a joke topic, but I'm super bummed that a strong wind just knocked something over onto my only jalapeno plant and damaged it pretty bad. It had several leaves and just sprouted two buds over the past couple days. It now has 3 leaves and a mostly bare stem.    I guess it's not all bad...

  Hey evolka, i decided to continue with the normal routine for this plant and monitor to see if it corrects itself, since solid said the plant doesn't look to bad overall. The main symptom i was concerned about was stunted growth. I'll update if either the plant recovers or the plant doesn't...

I was wondering this myself, as I have a young habanero plant that hasn't even set flowers yet. I guess I've got a long way to go.   By the way, are you originally from the islands OCGirl? I noticed your name and favorite cuisine lol

Ohhh i love duck. Did you catch and clean yourself? What kind of peppers did you use here?

  Ahhh ok, that makes sense. I'll look look into Alaskan fish pellets and kelp meal. I think at this point i'll see what I can get online, as I haven't found much locally. Mahalo again for all the insight. I know that was a lot of questions. Much appreciated.

  Gotcha.    Ideally, yes, i'd like to keep it organic. I've been going for solid fertilizer because of its slow-release nature, but i'm aware that my knowledge is limited and my entire approach could be wrong. Is there something about tropical environment that makes a solid fertilizer the...

  When you say a balanced fertilizer, do you mean an equal NPK? like 10-10-10 for example? Also, any suggestions on finding fertilizers with all 17 nutrients? Most of what i've seen when shopping online don't mention any other nutes other than NPK, or it will just say something vague like, "with...

  Thanks for the reply solid, this is helpful information. I didn't know that about bone meal in containers. do you have a recommended fertilization system for containers i could look into? In the meantime ill look into existing threads   My local nursery has been low on organic fertilizers for...

This plant was gifted to me, and came with a few pests. (Whitefly, aphids, spider mites). I have since mostly eradicated the pests, but the plant is still stunted and showing unhealthy signs, as you can see in the photos. Not sure which symptoms are residual from pests. I'm sure there's a mix of...

  Mahalo Cane! That's reassuring. This is why I find this forum so helpful. It's nice to fact check what I read with people who are actively growing peppers. I'll take your advice and just not worry about it for now. And glad you liked the hawaiian chili plant. I'll be sure to post updated...

Just realized all the new leaves on my Jalapeno plant have severe edema. I've done some reading and read that it's caused when the plant is taking in too much water and cant use it fast enough, resulting in the small bumps under the leaves. My initial reaction is that I am over-watering, but my...

As the topic title says, i'm wondering what your guys' experiences with harvesting are. I realize that it depends on a number of conditions, including variety, but in general, what is the average time for you between harvesting peppers?   For the sake of clarity, an example: After harvesting...

  I'm not 100% sure on the origin of the Hawaiian chili pepper, but to me it seems like a type of bird's eye variety that made it here to the island and adapted to our climate. Kind of like the "Hawaiian Sun Ray" pepper, which i think is just an Italian variety that was adapted to our climate...

Super excited my Hawaiian chili pepper plant is finally getting its first fruits. Also can't wait for this summer heat to subside. Going to make some Hawaiian chili pepper water from this first harvest. (If you haven't had, it's super easy to make and a great condiment on lot of food)
