My first chili peppers. I already stopped pinching out the flowers from the other one because i dont want to give them too much space and they keep trying to put out flowers like crazy. Not sure if i should had kept taking off flowers from the other one for a while still.

Would feeding them some extra nitrogen stop them from trying to bud so much? Or any other tricks for the one i still want to grow bigger to not trying to flower so much?

Also if someone could tell me how exactly do the flowers stop the growing. Is it just on those branches that have the flowers on, or does it effect the whole plant if a pepper will start to develop?

Also how crucial it is to pick the flowers soon enough? And what is soon enough?

First try with peppers. Outdoors in coco.
California wonder (Didn’t know about removing flowers):

And Sweetheart Peppers:

I think I’ll continue again next summer. Start them early inside and trim off flowers.

I use the waste from my DTW to feed these.

Wrinkly leaves from heat or nutrient stress?

Usually the feed is around 1.6EC with 20% run off.

Pepper update:
I've already been getting into the peppers, even when they're still a bit green. I just can't help it.

Help me identify this pepper.
Originally, we thought it would be Philippine pepper Siling Labuyo, my gf got the seeds from her cousin who got them from the old country.
I don't think it's the philippine cultivar (the pods are already much too big)

It's just a small plant that I started late.
perhaps Tabasco?

My buddy gave me some Khangstarr Lemon Starrburst, and 7 pot Yellow primo seeds the other week. I tried to germinate some of the lemon starrburst but didn't get any action. I honestly don't know what I'd do with a bunch of super hot peppers if I did grow them out.

I'n my experience you're looking at 2 weeks minimum to see pepper seeds germinate. Have you given them enough time? KS LemonStarburst look like wonderful peppers.

Yeah they’ve been in soil for over 3 weeks but I just read it can take a lot longer for the super hot peppers to germinate.
It sounds like they recommend doing a pre-soak and then into a paper towel similar to sprouting cannabis seeds. I’ll try that next since I still have a good amount to play with.

These are both bought plants. Not happy with how either of them did this season. My one big saved seed Mammoth Jalapeno outdid them in quantity and quality.

Young Cayenne in the raised bed are coming along. I've picked the two on the ends once and they are about ready to pick again. (the two in the crowded middle are fighting for light, so are smaller, but they do have green peppers on them)

I'm growing these too and starting to get my first peppers coming in.

Nope, it’s my first time growing these. What is the flavor like?
Hotness was perfect for eating them, like when you want to eat and not only burn your mouth. Not really mild either, if you dont like anything hot, then these will be too hot, but if you can eat something bit hot, these would be perfect for on top of a sandwich for example, or for cooking. Some parts on some of them did get pretty hit tho. Its been quite a while since i tasted them, but they had pretty unique taste to them, which balanced pretty perfect with its hotness. Im not any expert of peppers by any means, but often mild ones that i have tasted, dont have very strong taste overall, but are more watery like sweet peppers, these are not like that but you can taste that they have more tastes than just the semi-mild hotness.

I will definitely make some powder from them and see if their nice taste translates to it well.

Im sure you will like them!
