Great job! There ARE a lot of pods on that Aji Oro. I'm really liking that Rocoto Amarillo. I'm very interested to hear what you think of the flavor when it's ready. Beautiful stuff!

-Adam

Thanks !
The Aji Oro is the most productive from all my Pubes.
Rocoto Amarillo is a good one too, I will wait a few days to taste one
Cheers

Some of my Aji Largo pods are falling down instead turning red.
They are not rotten or damaged by bugs.

Anybody know why?

Thay sucks, I've never seen that before. How are the cal/mag levels?

Do you have any pictures of what they look like? That might help with identification. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

I think the plant is well fed.
The leaves looks good with the exception of some older ones.

I don't have pictures right now.
The pods was half red with dried stem.
The seeds was black .

Did the plant have hairy leaves and stems and purple flowers? If so, it's a Pubiscens variety, and black seeds are normal. The Pubes also don't like excessive heat, and if that's what you have, it might have dropped the pods due to stress.

Yes,Aji Largo is Pubescens.
I think you're right about the heat stress.

 

[stickman]

It looks like your plants are in pots... could you move the ones affected by the heat to a place where they get mid-day shade? If not, maybe some shade netting over them would help. Another trick you might try if neither of those things are feasable... put a largish chunk of ice in the pot around noon. It'll cool the plant somewhat and water it slowly at the same time.

Another 2 pods fall

At least these varieties did well for you. I've never heard of most of these varieties... I hope you'll do reviews of them when they ripen.

 

[Thegreenchilemonster]

That sucks about your aji largo dropping, but the rest of the pods are looking amazing!

 

[Devv]

The pods look like weather conditions got to them. I wouldn't worry, the rest look great!
 
Here, the pubes are a fall thing, if I can keep them going through the summer heat

 

[az1000]

Thanks guys!
The fallen pods are good to eat,so is not a total failure.

 

[Trident chilli]

Great looking pods Nicolau ... whatever you are doing all looks well

 

[Comptine]

Beautiful pods! I'm a little jealous now!

 

[az1000]

Thanks!
Your plants are looking great too.

 

[OCD Chilehead]

Looking good! Sorry to hear about the pod drop. As others said most likely heat. I had one plant just devistated by the heat. Had to pull. Another same as you pod's just started dying. Both were Annuum's.

Thanks for the update.

Very jealous of your plants. I have SE facing floor to ceiling windows and It seems like my plants never get enough sun inside. May I ask what you feed them?
