Hey guys, let's keep this thread going! I'm a huge chili fan myself, and am in the process of growing too many to list from memory lol. Unfortunately, my climate isn't the preferred for the tropical chili plant but I've definitely got some on the way.
Ok I'll try to name everything I've got growing, and post pictures soon. Ghost peppers (normal and white) Carolina Reaper Scotch Bonnett Bird's Eye Devil's Penis Peter Pepper Jumbo Jalapeno Orangesicle sweet pepper plus a bunch of random mix peppers (jalapenos, thai, cayenne, and others that I just mixed up the seeds and spread throughout a garden box)
Let's spark some interest here: What is your all time favorite chili to grow and eat? I'm talking about ease of germination, growing, looks and taste all in one.
I can't answer just yet because I'm still a newcomer to the world of serious chili but as far as eating goes, I had some amazing Peri Peri chili sauce at a european breakfast house that I later learned to be Bird's Eye chili based. That was in my top three chili sauces ever. As far as looks go, I'm torn between the Peter Peppers and the White Ghost Peppers I have growing, although at this point I don't even have flowers let alone peppers so I'm just going off of pictures of what I hope they'll be. Ease of germination? Well of course it depends on where you're at and how much money/effort you want to expend. Assuming you just are trying to do it cheaply in a relatively cold environment like me, the super hot varieties seem to be the hardest to germinate and grow in the unsheltered outdoors. That would include the ghost and carolina reapers. Most of the others are thriving .

ill tell you which one, the LEMON DROP
it grows into a very bushy plant with millions of peppers, looks nice and has got an amazing flavor. it is rather mild in comparison to habaneros or the others but this also sits well with my mrs  also being a baccatum, it grows rater fast an produces plentiful

That looks good! I like fast growing peppers that put out a lot of fruits and taste good (lol yes I know... who wouldn't?). Where I live, the outdoor growing season for peppers is fairly short, we get about 3.5 months of guaranteed no frost. I'm kind of struggling with my super hots because they are growing so slowly I don't know if I'll get to harvest many fruits before frost starts.
It's a little too late in the year for me to start growing Lemon Drops but I'm going to put them on my list for next year's crop. Thanks for the suggestion .

baccatums and anuums are your weapons of choice for short seasons !
oh and pre-growing them under artificial lights for some time in advance to have a head start

I still have a lot to learn that's for sure. I just picked varieties that were available at the local stores, and ordered some from ebay that interested me due to their rarity, super hotness or appearance. I wasn't really properly taking into account the cold nights we tend to have or the small window of growing time. All that being said though, it sure is fun and I can't wait to see what I get out of what I planted.
I will have to do some research on baccatums and anuums. Always gotta learn how to do it better next year.

How big were they when they died? What do you think killed them? I've found chili peppers to be pretty easy to grow, they just grow a little slower than other plants.

Heres my two of my smallest peppers. Only these and one other runt left inside at this point, im constantly battling the wind and i dont think these ones would take well yet.
one of them has got a neat bonsai thing goin on though i might just keep it as a house plant

They are scorpion pepper.
My red habeneros are taking so long to turn red... Its just been full sized and green for what feels like weeks now.
-------------------- Favorite quote: I want to know if they are active and magic or not. And if they are not active, can i pick them before they are active and then they will become active or do they have to grow till they activate?

they were about the size of a powerade bottle 32oz when suddenly they took a shit.
i think i gave them to many nutrients in the hydro chamber and over did it.. should have just taken it slow.
i am also using nutrients called flora grow? (if thats correct off the top of my head) but as research on hydro peppers, there is better out there.
but lets see if the pruning does anything, i have changed the nutrient to more of a flush stage so we shall see.. but im pretty sure they are just about toast.

These look gorgeous. I don't know where you are exactly but if you're in Oregon (lucky guess) then they should florish outside in a bigger pot with more dirt. You'd have to harden them off gradually over a couple days but I've found that even when I rushed them they still turn out good.

yes hardening them off is very important, you need to get them used to real UV light slowly so they can integrate "protection" into their cell walls im sitting in a lush green garden by now  (well green balcony but its so stuffed full of plants it may asswell pass as a garden haha)
