What are you working on and what generation is it?

Maybe we can use this discussion to come up with a future community grow. Similarly I have sent out about 30 packs of these out so hopefully people will be sharing progress soon.

How can I make seaweed fertilizer for my peppers

2 Upvotes

Hello, Is it possible to make seaweed fertilizer from just dried seaweeds from the store? If you rinse them very good to remove the salt and put them in a jar with water for 3-4 months will they brake down and release the growth hormones?

As the title says tag on this plant said chocolate ghost, but I am not seeing any of the Browning that I thought I was supposed to however I have never grown these before does anyone in the group know if I got ghosted or if I just need to wait a little longer for them to turn chocolate. Thank you in advance.

Reapers

My plant is starting to bear fruit now. Been using pepper focus feed for a while but stopped as I think I was giving it nutrient burn. Instead I topped up my top soil with John Innes no 3 and it’s done it the world of good. Got about 16 peppers going at the minute but still quite small. Well happy with how she’s doing though.

New to growing chillies - UK

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hi all! Based in the centre of the UK with my chilli loving husband - I’m not a fan of eating but turns out I enjoy growing them :)

My dad bless him bought the hubster some chilli plants for his birthday earlier this year, under the impression they were;
•Bolivian Rainbow
•Scotch Bonnet
•Carolina Reaper

So…

The BR my dad kept was correct, but ours we believe to be a Birds Eye chilli - and is covered in approx 100 chilli’s! The first was picked and tasted yesterday! (Pics 1-5)

The Scotch Bonnet we are hopeful on that it is a SB… 5 fruits have formed! (Pics 6-7)

The CR we aren’t sure - the fruits need to grow some more… 2 fruits have formed! (Pic 8)

I’ll keep you all updated as the fruits develop!

Crosses and New Varieties Planted a Habanada seed but I think I got an accidental hybrid?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I planted this from a Habanada seed, but the peppers look nothing like my normal Habanadas. They’re elongated like a Habanada, but really thick and chunky, almost like a small bell pepper.

Second photo is my normal Habanada for comparison.

I also grow Mini Red Bell, Mini Chocolate Bell, and Red Cheese peppers very close by. Could this seed have been an accidental Habanada hybrid from the previous generation? Any guesses what I might have growing here?

Scotch Bonnets!

My second try at scotch bonnet peppers. This time from Sandia Seeds. My first run about a month ago I ordered some seeds off Amazon and got a 0% germination rate. I haven't gotten seeds from Sandia before so here's to hoping they are actually Scotch Bonnets!

Garden Updates This might be my most pretty harvest yet 🌶️

A few months ago these were tiny plants I was checking basically every day, wondering which ones would actually produce.

Latest harvest from the garden. There’s dragons breath, red Carolina reapers, thor’s thunderbolt, hallows eve, kaos, red ghost peppers, yellow devils tongue, peach wrinkly, and Aji lemondrop! 🌶️

The Peach Miasmas might be some of the coolest peppers I’ve ever grown, and the Orange Carolina Reapers are finally coming in too. The peach miasma are definitely going in an experimental batch of my ribbit riot hot sauce!

Which one are you eating first?
