Is it to early to have peppers on my limon??

jsheeler · Jul 4, 2007

Hello everyone,
I have 8 different peppers in my collection and all were started from seed. They were planted April 7th and I had good germination results. They have been growing very well (I think anyway) for my first attempt.

Last night I was showing a friend of mine the plants and he found 4 or 5 peppers on my Limon!!! It is barely a foot tall and the 3 other Limon's don't have any signs of peppers at all??

Am I just lucky or what?

Thanks,

Jeff

ps. I'll try and remember to snap some photos tonight!

It's not too early. A foot tall is a good size to start producing.

Awesome, I can't wait for the rest of the plants to start producing!!

Cheers

My Limon is my earliest Chinense, and one of my earliest peppers.

well congrats you have some pods growing, now the hard part - waiting for them to ripen :hell:

for me pods are already forming on plants when they're 1 foot & under.
it also depends on when the grower planted them, when comparing different strains. Ex. my jamacian hot choc's, pa353 reds have chiles on the plant before my limons do, & they're all from the same supplier. plus I have other late season hab strains that have pods on'em before some early strains like the limon or neon yellow hab.

This is exciting! lol
I checked my other limon's last night and 1 other now has a pod or 2 on it. Haven't found any others yet

Cheers

No No NO! Unfortunately this is a bed sign. The peppers are contaminated. I am a nice guy, so just tell me where they are and I will take them off of your hands and dispose of them properly! ha ha.
Did you start them under lights?

Chatham, Ontario...second floor! Come get some :hot:

Ya, I started them under some T8 lighting actually. I think it worked out really well.

Here are a couple pics(ya, its a disaster) but still fun!
