So What Kind Of Pepper is this?

[misterbrownstone06]

As some of you may know, I started growing peppers for the first time this year. my first seeds were planted on January 7 and they turned out to be fake Bhut Jolokia which was very disappointing. anyways, my peppers are starting to ripen and would love to have them identified. any help?

BTW, thats just some time of white dirt or rock on it. they are not aphidss, even though ive been in an epic battle with aphids.

Looks like some sort of Habanero

Hate to disagree with you brother, but the white things are little aphid carcasses and there is even a live aphid visible in the photo. As far as the pepper variety goes, I would guess some sort of Habanero.

I agree with the Red Caribbean.

The commercial Caribbean Red turns fully orange and only then red.

Caribbean Red is the most common Bhut switch. And that definitaly looks like one. And I gotta agree those look like aphid carcases. And it looks like a live one on the left side of the pepper. And some others on the branch above the pepper. It's like looking for Waldo.

oh i didnt know they were carcasses. ive been using neem oil, but they seem to come back within 3 day days. maybe i should increase the potency of the neem oil in water?

I'd switch to malothion its the only thing that seems to keep mine under control but I am trying a dip tonight of
1/2 cup yellow listerine
1/2 baby shampoo
2 gallons of water

Idk if I need to rinse or not or if it will work but I'll post soon to let everyone know
