Let's hope so!

Finally got my peppers transplanted into larger pots.  These are 5-gallon pots, I believe.   L to R:  Carolina Reaper, Aji Rainforest, Aji Pineapple, Aji Mango   L to R: Red habanero, Dragon's Tongue cayenne

Interesting. I'm guessing slightly different strains of the same peppers, just due to small genetic differences.

Another update here.  I now have multiple peppers on all three of my Aji plants!  An interesting thing is that the Aji Pineapple has a different pepper shape than the other two.  The Pineapple is long and thin, more like a serrano.  The others are shorter and squat.  I see both shapes when I...

I planted a few varieties of Aji peppers, this being my first year growing them. So, I'm still figuring them out. I noticed my Mango and Rainforest both have a shorter, wider shape. While my Pineapple plant has long, thin peppers more like a serrano. Even doing an image search on Google, I see...

As always, I'm really bad at posting updates each season.  But, here's what I've got.   First, my tomatoes.  Surprisingly, just leaving them continue growing with water and ferts, they've continued growing.  Their yields seem a little low, but otherwise my Sweetgolds are still producing small...

Thanks :)  I almost didn't plant peppers this year, after the past couple seasons produced so many issues.  Hopefully I'll get some tasty pods!

I've tried trimming off the affected leaves, but it's not helping.  If it's TSWV, the plant is a total loss.  There's no cure for it.  Seems it's commonly carried by thrips, though I haven't noticed any bugs on the plants.  Fortunately, it only seems to affect tomatoes, and my peppers are all...

My Carolina Reapers next to San Marzano tomatoes (which I'll likely lose, per my previous post...).  The reapers got a bit of sunburn earlier, so the leaves have some brown spots.  Otherwise, they seem to be doing fine.   Mix of Aji Rainforest, Pineapple, and Mango peppers, as well as red...

Man, I keep forgetting to provide updates on my glog...  I've finally transplated my peppers into separate pots and have gradually moved them outside onto my porch.  They're pushed back a ways so they get some eastern sunshine in the mornings, but by mid-morning they start getting shade.  The...

Quick update:   The Aji Rainforest seedlings are beginning to show their second set of leaves forming.  A second Aji Mango popped up, as did a second red hab.  My second Dragon's Tongue cayenne seedling struggled to get out of the seed and doesn't look great, but we'll see if it survives.  ...

I did!  When I stopped at the nursery, I picked up a handful of black plastic pots and some drip trays to go underneath them.  The pots weren't labeled, but I would estimate they're 5 gallons, based upon the size of previous pots.  I still have a couple pots from a couple seasons ago that I plan...

Couple more sprouts popped up overnight.  I now have 4 Aji Rainforest seedlings, 2 Dragon's Tongue cayenne, 1 Aji Pineapple, and 1 Aji Mango.  Still waiting for my red habaneros to sprout.  The seeds are a couple years old, though, and came from plants that didn't do so well that season.  ...

Currently showing 4 Aji Rainforest seedlings, one that only has a single cotyledon leaf.  Will it survive?  We'll see!  Also just had a single Aji Pineapple pop up.  It's still curled over and hasn't opened up.  Not sure what's up with that, as I've never run into that issue previously. ...

A few more poking out this morning already.  All from Aji Rainforest.  After work, I plan to set up the T5HO lights.

The first seedling is beginning to curl out of its shell! Hopefully the others aren't far behind.

Nice!  They do look happy.   I have a nice spot on the East side of my porch where I plan to set them up.  They'll get sun until about noon and then shade the rest of the day.  Based on your input, I think that contributed to my struggles last year.  I knew they were hot, so I watered and used...

NE Colorado.  Specifically, the Loveland/Ft. Collins area.

That's fair.  If I run into the same thing again this year, I'll try the epsom salts and see how it goes.  I used ProMix last year and ran into those issues.   I honestly think I've caused multiple issues with my plants in the past, including too much sun and over-feeding.  Again, that's why I'm...
