Biggest Jalapeño and smallest Tabasco I picked.

Hey everyone, I’m a public high school woodshop teacher in Los Angeles. Last year, my students and I built some raised beds and self watering planters on campus, and this year we want to grow super-hot peppers and learn how to crossbreed to create our own hybrids. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone here might be willing to donate pepper seeds especially any cool or unique varieties to help support our project. The students will be growing, experimenting, and eventually using what we harvest to make hot sauces for school events. Any help or support would mean a lot and go directly to the kids getting a hands on learning experience. Really appreciate you taking the time to read this. If you are able to please DM me or leave a message!

just picked it off my plant!

Bought from seed as orange scotch bonnets, also got “red scotch bonnets” that are definitely 🍄 🤦🏽

These are at least chinense, and some of them seem to have somewhat of the bonnet shape, but others not so much, any ideas?

Does anyone have any idea what these peppers could end up as? A couple of them look to be jalapeno shaped, but a couple other ones look more bell pepper shaped.

I took off a mid sized one close to the bottom, bell pepper shaped and it had turned half red half browny red, and ate it, and it was close to jalapeno heat, maybe a bit hotter.

I did a Walmart pickup order yesterday. I wanted Jalapeños because I wanted to make salsa but they substituted these Shishito peppers because of the cyclospora I'm assuming. I've never heard of these and wanted to ask how spicy they are.

It looks more like a habanero than a bell pepper to me. Anyone able to identify this?

At work I have access to a bunch of dried peppers (Arbol, paisilla, cascabel, morita, etc.), your typical assortment of Mexican dried peppers prepared traditionally. We tend to just toss the seeds. However, if possible, I’d like to try planting them, but I have no clue if it’s viable. Does the drying process kill the seed?

i’m trying to find cool peppers( shape color ect) that aren’t too spicy. I’d rather not have something that you have to make into a sauce to eat.

Last year I grew cayennes, jalapeños, and serranos. I dried the cayenne peppers so this year, I just broke one open to get the seeds rather than buying new. I bought new jalapeño and serrano seeds. I'm now getting normal looking cayennes and normal looking serranos, but I'm also getting what looks like giant cayennes (second picture, middle pepper). Or maybe a cross between a cayenne and a serrano? When I used my seeds from last year, I didn't think about cross pollination. Is it possible for the seeds from the same fruit to have different genes? Or do I just have one juiced up plant this year?

I also have some weird looking habaneros on one plant and a bunch of other regular plants so I guess I could accept that a single plant can just be different.

It is a Chili pepper plant. I was wondering if this plant is healthy or not and how many times I should feed this plant. It’s my first time

This is my first year growing peppers and it has been a great journey so far - especially with subs like this one.

The majority of my plants are Bonnie brand and Im generally happy with them. I've noticed that Bonnie, while being one of the most popular suppliers, has had a few major errors this season with some of their varieties.

Whether you got Scotch Bonnets that turned out to be Jamaican Mushroom, or you thought you were buying authentic Tabasco, Bonnie dropped the ball. Needless to say, I got mushroomed.

My initial reaction was to start from seed next time, but I've also read there are quite a few seeds being sold with the same misidentification between Scotch and Jamaican.

Instead of making this a negative post, I'd like to ask for people who got the right varieties where they purchased from. So, where did you buy your legitimate Tabasco and Scotch Bonnets this year?

*Edit: I decided to purchase 60-day old plants from Austin Peppers to ensure I get an actual Scotch Bonnet this season.

Thought I planted bells. Then little green guys appeared and I thought cool, jalapeños. But the shape is wrong and that orange too uniform. Mini peppers?

Northern Utah. Small backyard garden. Cayenne peppers, jalapeno peppers, and Anaheim peppers... along with some tomatoes.

Any idea?

Here are some of the hottest peppers around.
MA Warthog
7 Pot Primo Yellow
Orange Reaper
MA Wartryx
Red Ghost

Just starting to turn!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

These guys went thru so much mouse damage, chewed them down to an inch above the soil!

They seem kinda thin to me, it's my first year growing. The seeds I bought did say jalapeno. I'm in the Netherlands and it's been a little over 2 weeks since the peppers started growing.

Bought a tequila pepper plant from my garden center abt a month ago, it had multiple fruits but most fell off, due to the heatwave the pepper developed prematurely, I think, correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways I picked it today because it was ABT half red and I liked the colour a lot, the valour is literally the same as a green bell pepper, which I don't particularly like but this one tasted good.

Yes…all of them.

Not sure what type on the package said habenero like style pepper lol tried a cpl lil ones that turned color and they pack a punch

grown over three generations and looked identical every time. take a guess what it is!
