Chillies - what are you growing/overwintering?

[rob_talisman]

Ok im after some help on two things. Ill start with the first.

I just bought 3 diff types of chilli. I know what the types are but not which of the chillies are of that type.

Can anyone intentify these please ive grouped them to which pair i think are the same.

I can give you there names if no one knows. 😊

I like guessing games ....don't tell us.!
I'm on my phone so the pic is small but will have a shot in a bit...but I think the middle one must be a scorpion with the stinger tail!

C'mon SP, Ms T, trip and the rest of you ...have a guess

[rob_talisman]

I have absolutely no idea what these chillies are and i just tasted a sliver of one ripe one and now half an hour later im nearly able to speak again

These are all off the same plant any idea what the heck it is please. ?

Thank you chilli experts.

Oooooh this is fun!
From your first picture with six ripe chilli's.
Top two butch T
Middle two scorpion (of some sort)
Bottom two naga

Just my guesses....I haven't got a clue really

[Small pumpkin]

Your second lot of photos I'm guessing ghost. They would easily leave you in the condition you've described

[Ms-T]

My guess is, not got a clue..lol but maybe.

Reaper
Scorpion
Naga..???not sure

[Scarlet]

I'm even worse! I'm sure the middle two are scorpions...they look like mine. The others I really haven't got a clue.
The last set of 4 pics I would say a Naga of some kind...its a similar shape and size to my black nagas.

[Small pumpkin]

Did we help rob ? ...................what do you mean you're even more confused

[rob_talisman]

Well SP, the set of chillies I got were:

Trinidad Scorpion Moruga,
Scorpion 7 Pot
Carolina Reaper

And ive listed them above in the order I "think" they might be in the pic I posted.

But still not really sure which is which.

And as for my second pic with my mystery chilli im still unsure on that, I have ghost nagas and thought they were moreslender (or mine where last year)

[Tripmeup]

Scorpion & Reaper were 2 of my guesses but one thing i do know Rob....MAKE SURE YOU WEAR GLOVES when cutting all of those up

I had a good look at all my chillies last night (all 69 or so) and think the bigger bucket theory is ringing true..Looks like my best year's chilies

[rob_talisman]

Oh we have learnt that lesson before re gloves, I made a naga sauce last year and removed all the seeds by hand from a load of ghosts and man that was a bad idea lol.

I think ill have a stupid amount of chillies this year, I currently have 180 plants growing at various stages..... (there are about 15 pepper plants in that the rest are chilli)

It's worked for me too and the couple of plants I spared that went straight into big buckets doubled overnight (well....nearly ) just wished we had a better growing year, I've not had much sun for a few weeks.

[Small pumpkin]

I'm also in agreement, bigger pots = bigger chilli's.

Rob sorry completely forgot to add reaper as a potential into the guessing game. I haven't got reaper ( but they've been dispatched )

Hi all, another daft question from moi...I have a couple of prairie fire which really should be in bigger pots,only problem is I only have seed compost, can I use that or do I need to go shopping?!

Seed compost is probably fine if that is all you have Jay..make sure to feed them when flowering tho...
