Nice looking plants and buds :-)

Keep us updated!

Looking good! You are well on your way to an incurable addiction. Welcome to the family.

they look great, and i agree (from what i can tell from the picture) they are ready to be transplanted into larger containers.

Nice work so far!

Congrats, they do look great.

But they also need to be transplanted asap, not a few weeks from now ;-)

I agree with sjetski. It is a little hard to tell from those photos but it looks like those plants are still in seedling trays. They should be in at least 4" pots by now. And if you are in Z10, then your climate should enable you to transplant them to 5 gallon buckets now which I would do. They are good looking plants though.

I am also a 1st timer...

Do Carolina Reapers grow better in the ground or in containers?

Any/all suggestions or tips welcome!!!

Hi All, thanks for all of the feedback, sorry I was not able to reply sooner, but the demands of life, has been demanding.

I have not posted on this site for over the past 8 years :(, and have since moved from Miami, FL, and relocated to Katy, TX. so that would be zone 8

esox07 - Good catch, yes they are currently in 4" growing trays.

Earlier today I was only able to repot 2 of my Ghost peppers, hopefully I will get to the rest, later on this week.

Update - Since repotting my Ghost Pepper in 5 Gal HD buckets, I,ve seen tremendous growth, and now that the temps is a bit cooler in Houston, I am finally getting some nice looking peppers on all 4 of my plants, here are a few pics taken earlier today.

Can someone please advise whats the lowest nighttime temp these GP can survive

Thanks,

FCA

Here is a pic of a few of the pods - Looks like one is ready

and lets not forget the hab's that I also started from seed back on Jan of this year.

Huge pods, don't find this size an any of the local markets

Well, it looks like you have pepper growing down to a science now. Nice job.
You plants will likely survive any thing above freezing but if you want them to keep producing, you should never let them go below 40 and preferably 50 degrees. If they get down into the 40's they will slow down in growth. If they start seeing temps in the thirties, they will probably shut down altogether and go into a semi dormant state, lose foliage and peppers and if they get into the lower 30's you could kill or permanently damage portions of the plants. Since you have them in buckets, you should be able to get them into a garage at night if your temps dip too far.. But in zone 10, I expect that will be pretty uncommon.

Finally got a nice batch of GP turning red

I assume since this is still a young plant, next year I should get bigger pods

Very nice looking pods there. Those habs are nice and big.

Which variety?

Did you join the swap so you can try out some new chilis for next year.
