I'm jealous. My Carolina Reaper only gave me one pepper and it's still green. I put my peppers in the ground when it was too cold and over fertilized them. I started using nothing but organic amendments this year and went a little crazy.

Hopefully next year I'll have a picture like yours. I see you have a variety of fire there. Nice haul.

remember the discussion about the validity of the carolina reaper seeds i bought? well, they're certainly viable....whether they're actually reapers or not remains to be seen, but time will tellView attachment 4187354 View attachment 4187355 View attachment 4187359
well, they are not Carolina Reapers...i don't think they are even half reaper non-heirloom crosses....i'm not sure what the hell they are, they look like banana peppers, but they grow upwards....i went back to the page on Amazon where i got them, and of course now there are several reviews saying the same thing.....
i'll keep the two biggest ones and see what they turn out like, if they're good peppers, i'll grow them out, even though they aren't what they were supposed to be.IMG_20181018_210913.jpg IMG_20181018_210948.jpg
they all got some kind of rust when they were outside. some copper fungicide cleared it up, but they didn't like it very much, just now really starting to get new healthy looking growth.

Kind of looks like a Thai hot pepper or maybe a Serrano. I've found pictures of both and they're growing up. Kinda cool how they do that.

Nice thread!
I'm not even going to pretend I know what these are. When I was germinating I did 5 different types of peppers. After they popped I went to transplant them and while walking dropped the dish and seeds went everywhere.
These were the ones I kept.
I put two in this pot because I thought they were the same. I do know that they are two different types come to find out. I'm guessing Cayenne and Jalapeno.

The other hasn't started to bloom yet, so I have no clue what it is. I 'm not good enough to tell by the leaves.

I just started my garden though. I've got tomatoes going in, lettuce, a lot more. My plan is to do dwarf plants like this on multi levels in here. I'm going to have to train the tomatoes though.

I've been using this home made light I made a while back. It actually works awesome despite the feedback I got on it.

They look like cayenne and jalapeno.... I've thought about growing peppers indoors, just haven't got around to it.

Got a recipe ....pleeze
I LIKE those poppers!--my daughter fixes them for me every time we go over there to eat....
BTW--I ate a Habanero yesterday morning..I was not exactly brave, 'cause I ate a green one! Hahaha...Those bright orange ones just look too wicked!

If they ripen when they are only about 2" max I think they might be Bird peppers, or Doni Sali. Similar to Thai peppers, they grow wild on Guam in the jungle. The flowers have a greenish tint to them sometimes. I was picking some and wiped the sweat off my forehead, stupid move. I couldn't see for about 5 minutes.

the flowers on these look like the flowers in pictures of carolina reapers, which gave me false hope. white flowers with blue stamens.

I can't find pics of the Boonie pepper flowers. Here is a plant.
similar, but not the same, i imagine it may even be partially carolina reaper.....but they allowed a lot of non heirloom plants to interbreed, so who knows what the dominant genetics are going to be...now i'm thinking about growing out some of the seeds to see what the hell they look like...they were growing next to jalapeno, thai prik kee noo, shishito....so who knows who the daddy was.....

I have some seedlings now, but they aren't big enough to really help in identification. My mother plants lasted for a few years by moving them in the house during the winter, but they finally died and I'm playing catch up.

I grow for potency, burn style and flavor much as I do for weed. Here's a few from last season. I prefer dark brown flavors and find them to have a higher quality burn. The best burns give body tingles and usually start in the back of the head. I really like the ones that put me in the panic zone. What a ride. I should have took more pictures. I had some better than this last year but these were very good.
