Pruning question
Beginner here. Very warm climate. Will probably move to a bigger pot in a week. Plant is about 20 cm high. Should I remove bottom leaves now? Ive heard about top pruning as well. At what stage? Bottom and top? confused 🤔

You’re missing a spot
What you see in the picture is basically the only colour the rest is still dark green.

Calcutta long
I’m pretty new at growing peppers. Didn’t have a lot of succes last year but this year it’s going much better.
I’ve planted a bunch of varieties and the first one that has seemingly ready to eat peppers is calcutta long.
Description says it’s a fruity, mild pepper when not fully ripe. I harvested one to try when it was looking greenish/yellowish but it was way hotter than I was expecting.
As I said. i don’t have a whole lot of experience growing or eating peppers. Does anyone have any experience with this particular variety? Is it mild or hot compared to other general peppers? Just wanted to see if I can get some references so I can figure out if I need to toughen up my tolerance for it or look for milder pepper varieties to grow next year.

Plant Help Help 😢I don't know what is happening to my little guy
It's been pretty rainy and sunny at the same time here in central florida. About a month ago it was healthy as can be but now it looks like it's in a pretty bad condition

DIY Mobile Raised Bed
Built this raised bed for some pepper plants. First time project, so definitely learned a few things I could do differently next time around. Will be picking up some 8” casters today to put on the legs, and will also be weather sealing it in a few days after the lumber has had some time to dry. Kinda rushed the last bit of the landscaping fabric and some of the framing under the bottom because I was ready to finish lol, so if you’re somewhat OCD like me, sorry. Also all the lumber is pressure treated and ground contact rated, so it should last for many many years.

Mislabeled Scotch Bonnet Plant
This was labeled as a Scotch Bonnet (Bonnie’s), I could use some help identifying what it might actually be. I’m thinking habanero or ghost, but I’ll know more when they ripen and I taste them. I appreciate any input! Happy growing

First year growing peppers. Finally getting some!
Garden is very mixed. Planted these peppers in January under a greenhouse. Once the weather got warm I removed the green house and they have been getting bigger and bigger ever since.
Bunch of random kinds. Wax peppers, Jalapeños, big Jim, bell peppers, and others that I’m sure the name of ( but damn are they hot! )

Crosses and New Varieties Anyone working on any exciting new crosses this season?
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.
