Hi all, this year I've managed to start 8 types of peppers, thanks to the tips and seeds of this group. Here's a little info about them for those interested: Chocolate Habanero : (Capsicum chinense)VERY BIG light green leaves, seems to have a bigger steam than other habaneros and are growing a bit faster too. The first couple of leaves of all my Chocolate Habaneros were weird looking (two leaves connected into one, weird form...). At first I thought they would have difficulties to grow, but I was way wrong. Japone : (Capsicum annuum) Great looking plant (pretty tall). Tends to grow straight (not forming secondary branches, the leaves are all from the main steam). Medium size leaves, medium size steam and already forming a couple of flowers. The tallest plant is now 11 inches tall after 95 days since it sprouted. Orange Habanero : (Capsicum chinense)This is a typical habanero plant: big leaves, slow growing... The only reason why I planted some this year was to compare it to the Orange Devils Habanero. As expected, they grow slower than the Orange Devils. I also have an over wintered Orange Habanero which is now 2 foot tall. I'll try to put it in the ground in a couple of weeks or put it in a very large pot for outside growing. Caribbean Red : (Capsicum chinense) Looking pretty much like the Orange Habanero (got to look on the label to tell which one it is). Nothing special to tell. Orange Devils Habanero : Well, this plant is growing faster than I thought. Healthy plant, smaller leaves than a typical Habanero, but there's a lot of them. Tends to have secondary branches (the leaves aren't all from the main steam). Looking forward to see who will win the fight : Orange Habanero vs Orange Devils Habanero. Fatalli : (Capsicum chinense)This is a weird looking plant I would say. Looks a bit like a Habanero, but the leaves are kind of bumpy (they're pretty big too). The steam could be a little stronger, but it is going to do just fine I believe. Looking forward those big yellow pods. Red Bell : The only mild peppers I wanted this year, and I don't think I'll have 1 pod out of them. They're pretty small and not very strong looking, but I'll plant them anyway. I believe the problem came from the seeds, who knows... Lemon Drop and/or Orange Thai : (Capsicum baccatum I believe)These plants are very different from the others. They have a lot of small leaves and are producing a big amount of flowers (always a couple to remove everyday). The steam, though, was pretty weak, but after 2 weeks of hardening off, it now is of a good size. All of them were grown under two long fluorescent lights (normal ones) with an average temperature of about 20°C. They were put into ground last sunday, I hope they'll be good survivors.... I placed 2 wind breakers, covered 25 plants with a plastic roof and 10 of them with a screen from an old window. Thanks everyone for your help.
