Super hot pepper porn

Learn something new all the time...I always thought ghosts were the top of the mountain as far as heat goes.

A few years ago they were!

Here's a yellow seven pod that I successfully overwintered kicking off now it's spring down here.

Butch T, Chocolate Scorpions and Red Devils Tongue seedlings that have popped this spring.

And a Butch T seedling that I grew inside during winter. I topped it four days before this pic was taken, and you can see the lateral shoots already.

Nice grow. I love peppers In particuular habanero verities. I enjoy then raw, in soups, and also in salsa. This year I mail ordered plants from New Jersey of all places. Having great results with my mid season peppers:

Live small plants arrived In Great shape last April. I had no idea there were so many different varieties till I checked this place out. Will be ordering from them again for sure! Hoping for crops till the first freeze arrives in October.

 

[BigFoot]

Yeah mine should be going till almost November like last year. Peppers do pretty damn good in colder climates. My plants lasted till christmas last year after I brought them inside but they eventually died.

 

[SmokeAndMirrors]

How do you go about saving the seeds so they can grow new plants? I am sure there is more process than take them from the pepper and throw them in the ground...lol

 

[AussieMitch]

I tend to cut them out of the chilli with the placental tissue they're attached to. Put them on some paper towel and put them on a windowsill until they dry out. I've never grabbed a 'wet' seed from a pod and tried to germinate it. Most or all of my seed harvesting is done at the end of my season (June or July for us in the Southern Hemisphere)
Hope this helps

 

[SmokeAndMirrors]

It does. I just ordered a bunch of super hot seeds to plant when I get home. In the mean time I really need to read up and get as much info as I can about the growing process.

 

[SmokeAndMirrors]

Hey Bigfoot, what kind of soil did you use for your plants?

 

[SDShark]

Came for the porn, stayed for the hot peppers

hahaha same here!

 

[BigFoot]

Hey Bigfoot, what kind of soil did you use for your plants?

1/2 mushroom soil 1/2 black gold soil. Next year when I till it I'm going to fill it up to the top with some more black gold. Couple more inches all around till it gets filled. I'm also going to add a bunch of worms to the soil from Uncle Jim's Worm Farm.

 

[SmokeAndMirrors]

what will the worms do for your plants? Forgive me if I ask to many questions here...just trying to gain as much knowledge as I can before I take on the beasts

 

[Robertsndr68]

Worms break down organics in the soil as well as airate the soil. Helps grow bigger, healthier, richer plants

 

[SmokeAndMirrors]

Thanks Robbie, much appreciated

 

[AussieMitch]

For my plants, I use a growing medium that has worked really well for me:
• 25L potting Mix
• 10L Coir Peat
• 10L Perlite
• 2L Dynamic Lifter

Sorry all the amounts are metric.
Dynamic Lifter is an organic pelletised fertilizer. I try to keep things organic as much as possible.

 

[SmokeAndMirrors]

Thanks Mitch...keep all the advise and what works coming guys...anything and everything will help the future endeavors. Big, I am by no means trying to jack your thread...if you would like me to put up a new thread please let me know. Thought I would look to you and others for advise on this one since the topic is peppers. :smile:

 

[CWS]

Dude you inspired me. I have to give this a shot.

 

[Lipher]

Wow, I've had ZERO success in growing ghosts in new jersey, both outside and hydro. Whats your secret?

 

[AussieMitch]

Peat discs and heated propogators! Ideal germination temps are between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius (78 to 82 Fahrenheit). A nice constant temp will help germinate those super hots. I've found also that super hot chillies can take up to three weeks to germinate, so be patient!

 

[SmokeAndMirrors]

Great info. So it would be best to start indoors rather than just throw them in the soil outside?

 

[AussieMitch]

Great info. So it would be best to start indoors rather than just throw them in the soil outside?

For me, yes! YMMV though. I find its easier to keep an eye on them in regards to how much water they're getting. Too much, and they quickly 'damp off', and go mouldy. Also find much better germination rates with the constant temperature a heated propogator gives.
