Mostly red ghost peppers and thai ornamental peppers and a few shishitos I let go red
I kinda thought the shishitos would be more productive but they’re the least by far
The fucking thai peppers have 10+ ripen every day and i hate picking them 
Anyway uh i was gonna smoke them on my grill and make more chili powder but i only have 1 glove left and I’m gonna be real i don’t even wanna trim the stems off without gloves
We’ve got some peppers coming in soon, going to have a lot of Black Hungarians in our future.
oh my god i want black chili powder
Okay peter piper
They haven’t pickled their peck of peppers yet.
I never use gloves when cutting chili. I love how everything i touch afterwards becomes spicy.
okay but if you missed my last pepper post I basically dried like 20 thai peppers and 5 more ghost peppers and blended them into the smoke dried powder I made and I licked the tiniest tiniest lick of the residue on the glove and my mouth was in a significant degree of pain for 30 minutes
the thai peppers are way hotter than what the google lying machine states their SHU to be, like, they are subjectively way hotter than habaneros despite having a lower SHU, and the ghost peppers are ghost peppers
the lying machine added that the thai peppers have a higher concentration of other capcsaicinoids (which I didn’t know was a class of things) mainly dihydrocapsaicin and my knowledge of biology/cooking/botany puts that at a solid “Myth: Plausible” level of accuracy in possibly explaining why they’re so hot (edit: wait no it’s saying the opposite of that, habaneros have more of that, or something, idk dawg)
I find that sometimes peppers are spicier than other times, there are so many variables affecting their growth, the environment, etc. SHU should be a range, but I also find that it can be unreliable as an index because it measures average probably
Those Thai peppers kind of look like Philippine siling labuyo peppers, I wonder if that’s what they are rather than the longer dragon pepper looking guys
Are your shishitos trying to grow like a million branches everywhere all at once? Shit has been annoying me, I should maybe sit and prune it down with some kinda direction in mind but it feels like a losing battle with how much it’s trying to grow out. That combined with my plant being a little baby about the insecticidal soap I used (and thought I fully washed off) and getting leaf burn it’s gone from the plant I was most excited about to the one I’m most annoyed with.
nah it just kinda grew a modest plant and then stopped. the thai peppers have a million branches but it’s small, the ghost pepper really went nuts tho.
those look great! Sorry about your plight with the thai peppers
it’s okay it’s my fault I guess for not understanding how small they’d be when I bought the seedling
my brother sent me a video today with malaysian fried chicken and the guy used thai peppers that were like what I thought I’d be getting, long and skinny
