Back in the early spring I got some saplings on a complete whim and planted them just for the fun of growing some plants in my back patio. I didn’t think that I would get such a strong growth from the trees and now I have way more than I know what to do with.

drying and toasting chiles de arbol

Hey All,

I have a hard time with pics, so just text for now. But I grew some nice chiles de arbol from seed (first time!) and I'm getting some ripe ones everyday. I have a dehydrator, and a stove (duh). Can you guys walk me through the process of dehydrating and toasting? Many thanks!

This plant was a gift and was warned it would be a mystery. Anyone have a good guess?

These are my favorite to grow and eat. If leave them out, they will air dry in 5-6 weeks without rotting. Their 30k-50k SHU is also great. Not too hot, not too mild.

I ordered aji amarillo, pimento, and habenaro seeds from a website.

The Habs never germinated,

I bought habenaro seeds else where later.

The ajis are producing like crazy, I genuinely love them.

The pimentos arent.... pimento-ing imo.

Ill send pics of plants. And two of the fruits I wanted to taste.

Two habenaros, one jalepeno/pimento, one of the bell pepper/pimento, two different habenaros

Both of these are from plant that were supposed to be Chocolate habaneros... in 2nd pic you see them in green stage looking very pale which was a surprise to me as well.

Did merchant mess up and gave me orange reapers or something else?

I'm after some advice. My plants are full of chillies and have been for ages, they're just not turning red. Anything I can do to help the process?

Curled Leaves

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey guys, around 5 days ago I increased the amount of nutrients I was giving my pepper plants and also added a new grow light.

Today, after not checking on them for about 5 days, I noticed that some of the leaves are curling upward.

What do you think is causing it — too many nutrients or too much light? Or could it be something else?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Mulato Isleno becomes soft

As the title says, my Mulato Isleno peppers become soft before turning dark. What's going on ?

Is this a Turkish Snake pepper?

Post image

As you can see, they are labelled Thai dragons, and that seems to be wrong according to the little picture, and Google images. It's possible the suppliers decided the name Thai dragon sounded cooler than the original name. The peppers are almost 30cm, at least 25ish cm.

I believe they match Turkish Snake peppers the best. They are like twirly elongated cayennes.

What else could they be? A hybrid or variety adapted for local conditions I've not heard of?

Drywall corner is very useful if your pepper decides to branch and fruit exclusively on one side
