crazy8 said:Well I have been using Foxfarms Beasty Blooms and I applied compost tea once in between using the Beasty Blooms. We water enough to keep the plants hydrated also. Maybe part of it is patients, but I will lay off the ferts and just see what happens. Since we are on the subject though, my friend had a cayenne plant last year that once you picked a full grown green pepper off the plant, it would turn red on its own after a couple hours. Has anyone heard of this or know why that would happen?
groeatrepeat said:All (if not all then most) fruits ripen if they are exposed to ethylene gas. Therefore, if you take some unripened fruit and put it in a brown bag with other ripened fruit (not necessairily peppers) and close the top with something like a binder clip, the green fruits will ripen. The only problem with this method is that, for pepeprs at least, the skin does not stay crispy, but rather, it gets really wrinkly and chewy
crazy8 said:Well so far over the weekend I have picked 5 ripe Cayenne's. They were kinda small in size but I do have some really really nice fat rippled ones that I am just waiting to see ripen. I am going to be on vacation all week so hopefully they do OK and I come hoe to a grip of red pods. But so far all seems to be going well.

Speaking of which, I was looking at my peppers at home before I left for work since I havent seen them in a week and I have a TON of nice huge Jalapenos and I noticed I also have some peter peppers starting, Joes long Cayennes and some Black Pearls. Cant wait to see them as they keep growing and more even towards harvest.willard3 said:Patience is the best fertilizer for chiles...........
