*I'm almost certain the farmer purchased the TAGS separate from the seeds!

Two said BloomIQ, which I think just makes tags, and the other one was totally generic.  I'm almost certain the farmer purchased the seeds separate from the seeds.     I doubt the farmer saves seeds for chilies.  His stand at the market sells all local produce; they only sell the super hot...

So no ideas about the mystery pepper?!?!?!  Anyone????

My 2020 team photos!    

A little more information.... All the pods from the plant which I think is the Naga Viper tend to have smooth shiny skin versus the relative dullness and wrinkles on most of the other super-hots.  I don't know if it's discernible when comparing the pictures because the flash may have been on...

I've taken some better pictures.   Theses came from a plant labeled as Trinidad Scorpion and I think that was actually correct:     These came from a plant that was labeled Carolina Reaper, but in my opinion there is no way they are Carolina Reapers.  Since they came from the same place as the...

I think Carolina Reaper.  These were mine and I'm very certain about them based on where I bought the plant:      

Not counting jalapenos, I had five plants; two Bonnie brand plants from Home Depot that I'm certain of, a red ghost and a "Smokin' Ed's" Carolina Reaper.  Then the other three were from the one's I mentioned in the first post which I bought from that farmer.   I'm still fairly certain that I...

Ok, I think I might have figured out the photos.   So here is the one labeled as "Naga Viper:"     And this is the "Carolina Reaper", which I know is not a Carolina Reaper.  I think if anything it may be the Naga Viper.     This is the Trinidad Scorpion, which I believe was correctly...

I joined this forum 10 years ago.  I stopped using The Hot Pepper because it was impossible to load photos.  I need help identifying peppers and I can find absolutely no directions for how to post any media, at least not without having to buy software to resize everything.  Could somebody please...

I have three plants which I bought as seedlings and I believe they were mislabeled.  They are supposed to be a Carolina Reaper, Naga Viper, and Trinidad Scorpion (unspecified sub cultivar), but some of them do not look right.  I'm pretty sure that the "Trinadad Scorpion" is in fact correctly...

I tried to brown-bag-ripening some green peppers earlier this summer but I used a green apple and they really didn't turn red. I'll have to try again with red one. (Granny Smith are my favorite so I figured I'd eat them after the peppers ripened; green apples must not kick off as much ethylene...

Thanks! Now I can start picking and not worry about peppers going bad. do you think using frozen chilies would matter for other types of sauces (i.e. a cooked non-fermented habanero sauce)?

It's getting towards the end of the season here in Michigan and I've got peppers in various stages of ripeness. I need to get all the fully ripe peppers off of the plants in order to ripen the green ones. Specifically, I'm doing this with my Tabascos and cayenne chilies. I want to make...

Sorry about that; somehow I replied to the last message in the wrong thread. At any rate, I hope everyone in this thread figures out what they need to know!!!!!

Roasting the for a sauce, or just roasting them?

Potawie, I haven't tried them. Based on my experience growing cayennes in the past, their size and shape is that of mature cayennes minus the red color. To be honest, I dried all of my cayennes in the past so I couldn't really compare them to anything if I did taste a fresh one. Rocket, I've...

Due to an issue with blossom end rot, I've picked a couple dozen green cayenne chilies from my plants in order to prevent them from succumbing to the rot. Based on my past experience I/m fairly certain that they are full size, however they are all completely green. I know they can turn red at...

Due to very heavy rain and a potential calcium issue, I picked a couple dozen of my best cayenne chilies to save them from blossom end rot, which many of the chilies on my plants have been experiencing. I only picked the ones that had reached what is typically full size (based on the last time...

Eric, Sorry for the delay... I've been having a hard time trying to insert pictures. I followed the directions on the "Help" page but the best I seem to be able to do is insert hyperlinks to my old Flickr page, where I've been putting the pictures. Anyway, these are the warped leaves I've...
