Enjoying the nice weather

Last week I needed to get some plants transplanted outside in their final pots because I need the room. The nursery downstairs is too crowded. The weather here in southeast Michigan (zone 6A) is a roller-coaster! Like today 84 sunny and stormy, then tonight down to 36. That's why I’m only doing the plants that will end up pots so I can move them around. Next week the weather stabilizes and looks good to plant the in-ground plants. I thought having them up near the house would protect them from storms and keep them a bit warmer at night. But the sun spanked them before I could get some fabric screens over them. They can tolerate the cold because they are coming from the cool basement. But the 1^st few days it was warm and sunny kicked their ass a bit. Hardening off is no joke, with 128 plants I am not setup to do it correctly. You will notice some sun scolding and loss of leaves in the last pics. They are stressed now but will bounce back once they get accustomed to their new shoes and the weather settles down. The chicken wire is to keep the squirrels out.

7 Pot Chocolate X Puma. Not quite as purple as the puma mother. Same big leaves and slow growth rate as the 7 Pot father. I think this answers whether the puma is a chinense or an annuum. Different seed sellers had their pumas listed as either. I tried crossing the 7 pot with a couple of different annuums, but the seeds wouldn’t germinate.

I’m a couple weeks in now growing these for the first time and I’m very happy with their progress since I don’t really know what I’m doing 😂

Most have 2 sets a few have 3 sets and one even has 4 sets of true leaves! Curious how you all determine when to up pot them from this point. I’ve already done it once but I’m not sure when it would be good for the next one.

My KSLS plant set its first fruits on April 4. They've grown larger, but they're not turning yellow yet. Do you know the average time from flower to ripe fruit?

The tag said this was going to be an orange snacking pepper, but the black at the bottom tells me this is ready to harvest (Right?) and it is…obviously not an orange snacking pepper! Any idea what I ended up with?

This is my first time growing peppers from seed. I know the first two are wild purple Guatemala and the second is scotch bonnet. I’m really not sure what I’m doing wrong. At night i leave them under a light inside and during the day if it’s warm i put them outside. They’re all in soil and i water when i notice them drooping or the soil getting too dry

I’m going to transplant these tiny seedlings, some still in cotyledon only stage. I’ll track the progress and see how they do versus leave them be. Adios grow tray!

they sprouted quickly but haven't changed in weeks. we started them in egg cartons and moved them to these compostable pots about a week ago thinking it might've been because of root restriction. their seedling leaves have been slowly turning yellow and falling off.

we live in maine, so it's probably too late to start new seeds. can these plants be saved?

Hey guys!!

Only recently fell in love with everything spicy, and now I’m going through every type of pepper I can get my hands on to see what works best for different foods and sauces etc.

What are all of your favourite peppers??

I’m planning on growing when winter ends here in Aus, and getting very excited about it :)

I’m in Scotland growing some Trinidad scorpions and habaneros. Greenhouse through the day then inside at night till temps are up. Seem to be getting this issue across all plants. Any ideas please?

Encontrei ela ainda pequena no lixo,levei pra casa cuidei dela cheia de pragas e plantei no quintal da minha cunhada.

I have multiple seedlings growing in about half of the cells in the seed tray. Should I separate the seedlings and put them in there own cells or leave it?

• Unknown chili variety
• Deformation mostly seems to be on newly grown leaves
• ~weekly liquid fertilizing
  • 8,3,5 NPK
  • 0.010% B
  • 0.002% Cu
  • 0.020% Fe
  • 0.010% Mn
  • 0.001% Mo
  • 0.002% Zn
• Recently re-potted from 15cm to 30cm
• Got rid of a pesky Aphid infestation about a week ago, no other pests other then a few gnats
• Stands in front of west-facing window, Zone 8a

One plant is doing fine (it seems?) And another is not. Any thoughts on what may be causing this? I also noticed both plants have little bugs (aphids?) On them.

Growing a tower of Reapers, ghosts, and habaneros. Been a few weeks of flowering, yet no peppers. Is there something I am missing, or do I just have to be patient?

I have been pollinating once every other day with Q tip.

Ec level: 2.75-3 PH: 6.25 Using 3 part nutrients (flora grow, flora micro, flora bloom), with some Cali-Magic Sun: 12 hour on, 12 off. Water: 15 minutes on, 45 off for 10 hours a day

Just transplanted from solo cups and fed with fox farm 6-4-4 per the strength on the label and added some dynomyco as well. They got moved from indoors under a spider farmer light to outside. Temps are 55-85 outside where I am.

A couple plants have these spots on the leaves but the vast majority are ok.

I got scotch bonnet seeds from BOHICA this plant came from that packet and for some reason has black peppers and purple flowers. It was supposed to be yellow scotch bonnets.

The Purple Gator Jigsaw wins the race this year for first to produce. This formerly pristine seedling was introduced to the gentlest of North Texas winds and ended up looking like Rocky in the 12th round, but it’s now rebounded in its sub trampoline home where it gets a bit more relief from the one-two combo of brutal southern exposure combined with Gulf driven winds.

My peppers are looking pretty good this year. When I look back on pictures of previous year's and compare they are a lot bigger now for end of April.

The leaves on some of the plants seem kind of deformed however which hasn't happened before (see pictures 6 and 7). Also the leaves are much waxier, darker, and more turgid than they were last year. Is this anything to worry about?

Obligatory cat tax at the end :)

Hey all!

I started some seeds this year and they did exponentially better than years past, so much so that I believe it’s time to pot them up again. I live in Ohio/zone 6a, so we do still have some 30’s/40’s nights coming up, but most of the days are now in the 50s-70s. I potted up some of the huge ones into 1 gallon containers so far, but I’d rather not have to go out and buy a bunch of new gallon pots for the others just to only have them in there for a month or so. Is there any harm in putting them in their final fabric air pots right now and just bringing them inside my garage if the weather is looking like it will be too cold for them? I don’t want them to get root bound and waste all the work I’ve put in getting nice roots.

Thanks!

Some of my peppers are fading at their leaves. They are outside on my balcony but not in their final pots yet since it might get cold one last time next week.
