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

That's very close up. It's in a pot the same size or smaller. That "tree" is a stick maybe one and a half times (maybe 2) thicker than a pencil.
Far right. Have to look back at his posts, but I don't think it's much bigger. That's about a gallon I think.
Maybe twice the size. The one on the far left I think looks the size of his. Need clarification OP. Our internet argument is about to hijack your thread. 
I say you turn that pool in the backround into 1 big pot for those bhuts!!Pepperhead said:That's very close up. It's in a pot the same size or smaller. That "tree" is a stick maybe one and a half times (maybe 2) thicker than a pencil.

I had a ghost in a pot that contained 1.25 quarts. She put out beautiful pods.
Granted she was a second year plant...

Very cool looking, coheed.
am goind to be transfering them to a big hug pot tonight. gonna find a 5+ gallon one. Let this thing turn into a tree lol.
Is that a cross breed with another pepper. More info please? I wanna know why my peppers arnt "normal" looking lol.. Could it be the fact the plant is only 1 year old and in a smaller pot...coheed196 said:My .02 is that I agree with whoever said it earlier...they look entirely too smooth for a Red Bhut. I specify red because my whites are very smooth.
I have bhuts that are sort of oval shaped, carrot shaped and pumpkinny with a stinger. I chalk it up to unstable hybrid. 
I don't know if the whites are a cross or a natural mutation but I got my seeds from Pepperlover.
No, yours not being normal looking has nothing to do with age or the pot size. For example: this was a few weeks back. It's a plain ol red bhut. It was still in its original 1 gallon pot and was planted this season. I believe you have a cross and that it is not a true bhut jolokia.

Hi, I'm new here and this is my first attempt to growing Ghost Peppers. I realize this post is old, and hopefully someone will see it and I can get an answer. I have 2 plants, they both have a numerous amount of peppers on them (see Pics). I just don't know when it is the correct time to pick them off. I plan on putting them into a brown paper bag and drying them out, then crushing them (outside of course) and using the powder. If someone could give me some advice as to when I should/could pick them, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
Thanks!

In the middle of the 3rd pic, the bumpy red one is ripe.
Unless you live in a hot/dry area the paper bag probably won't work, try this.> http://www.food.com/recipe/oven-dried-hot-peppers-flakes-or-powder-73907
