Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I have found something thai like thai birdeye (c frutescens similiar to tabasco) are a good start They not the tasiest but good heat and easy to grow... and my other easy favourite the Orange hab for good heat and flavour.. then maybe pic a few that catch your eye Fatalii, jumbo jalapeno, naga morriach, tepin etc etc
Yeah i was thinking of growing the normal Jalapenos. Habaneros, Chiltepin and maybe cayenne for the hots and maybe some Jimmy Nardellos. maybe some others im not sure...hows that sound guys? i only picking a few, dont wanna get in over my head
Those are some good choices I myself will stay away from all the small bird peppers I do not have a use for the real small ones but they do look really cool on the plant. If this is your first time starting from seed there will be other things you need to get started though. I might be able to help with some seeds PM me.

If it is your first time growing your own just go for it the work and care for chiles are almost the same for all of them. It is the only way that you will learn and find out what grows well in your area. Just my opinion. We all had to learn the hard way.Every one on THP will help any way we can.Good luck and welcome for Ohio.

if it was me, I'd grow types you cant get at the grocery stores by you.only way to findout what kind of chiles you like is by trying others.
yes Thai chiles are almost foolproof for growing, its seems like they can handle any conditions better than others (just what I've noticed comparing to other types)
what stillmanz said about thais "not being the tastiest" well thats true if you're comparing them to a habanero type chile, but thais still taste good they're not nasty.
any c.annuum type will grow good for you, like its been said you need to find out which ones grow good for your location - trial & error. I'd say stay away from very late season growers unless you have the means to grow them inside for some time.
checkout this website, it'll help you narrow down your choices by using their search engine plus it'll tell you a little about the chile.

Yeah good idea, i really dont dont know what kidn i want to grow. Really the only peppers the stores around here have is SOMETIME jalepeno and habs. So i figure i might as well get some of those.
ill just get my own seeds. Its not like they are expensive or anything. TomatoGrowers.com seems good and cheap. Are they?

Well I rekon the old penis pepper, fun fun fun although ther sometimes require a little tender loving care if it is hot. Piri Piri peppers are one pepper that are almost fail safe. Have fun man and good luck!
i would rather not eat a cock shaped pepper. thanks anyway lol
yeah i think ill do a few dif habs and some nice sweet eppers also. Which are you guys fave habs types?
ill prolly do the regular orang ones,chocolate,trinidad perfume, and i would like to do red savina but id think so...ill prolly do a few other kinds of peppers to but still deciding.
