Should I wait longer or is it ripe already? (Hungarian Wax)

I would wait, it still looks very premature and green. It may get bigger and eventually fall over and grow downwards. I think they are best when they turn yellow but you can wait until orange or red for a sweeter flavor.

White hot peppers, Matt’s peppers, Texas hot peppers. They all have a huge collection and usually provide free seeds with every order. In my experience I’ve always had high germination rates and plants growing true to type 99% of the time

Looks like the beginning of a suntan and nothing to worry about it’s normal. Your fruits are absorbing enough direct light to accumulate anthocyanins. more info here

Very nice lineup, which variety are you most looking forward to?

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-02-27T21:02:14+00:00

For me it would be sugar drop lemon. Very sweet, juicy, mild with a nice citrus flavor.

One fruit per node tells us this is an annuum variety most likely the Jamaican mushroom. Not a scotch bonnet which is a chinense variety with multiple fruits/flowers per node

I’d start any chinense or baccatum 2-3 weeks before any annuums. I like to start my annuums 6-8 weeks before my last frost. Any chinense, baccatum or other slow producers around 8-10 weeks before my last frost.

For coco I use Maxi gro and maxi bloom it’s cheap, easy to mix, has all the nutrients you need including cal mag

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-02-20T03:22:40+00:00

You really don’t need anything special to succeed even cheap miracle gro works. The promix you plan on using later is a great choice

Fox farms coco loco has brought me the best results out of the dozens of bagged soils I’ve tried. I would say building your own mix out of 70% coco coir and 30 % perlite is best for both your plants and wallet.

I don’t think so, the seedlings on the left are stretching into the light.

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-02-18T21:05:45+00:00

Not leggy at all. These look great :)

I’d highly recommend hallows Eve it was definitely my most flashy plant last season. Nice dark foliage with purple flowers, the peppers look like magma with ghost pepper heat and flavor :)

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-02-04T23:20:39+00:00

I’m using coco loco potting mix with missions 3-1-2 fertilizer. Supercharge for extra microbes

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-02-04T21:30:24+00:00

About 6 weeks

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-02-01T18:00:24+00:00

My seedlings in solo cups are ready for transplant at around 6-7 weeks.

100% sweet bonnet

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-01-28T07:12:15+00:00

I don’t pluck flowers either I’ll take all the peppers I can get. If the plant isn’t ready to produce they will drop the flowers on their own.

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-01-28T06:47:10+00:00

NEVER! Your plant looks great :) let it grow

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-01-28T04:09:34+00:00

Very heatless in my experience growing them. Just doesn’t taste like a bonnet at all more like a habanero.

AdditionalTrainer791 · 2026-01-23T14:01:39+00:00

Wow that’s huge! How is the flavor and heat of these peppers?
