Jolokias So Far

17 years ago

(sorry i couldnt get the image to 'stick' to the page...)

Anyway, these are my first attempt at Jolokias, grown lots of others in the past, but just have a few questions on these guys. In the pic you can kinda see the edges yellowing out, and some burning off. There is a slight chance it was fertilizer burn from when they were younger, but for the past couple weeks, watering has been dead on, not too much, not too little. No MG. The only fertilizer there is is some bonemeal in the cups from transplant... They were looking a little wrinkled. I can only guess its still a salt burn from the MG.

My other peppers this year are all looking great with no burn, or yellowing at all. Just wondering if this breed is prone to this or what?

On a side note, these are hardy peppers!! They love the heat, my other peppers are still pretty sensitive to the heat, but these bad boys dont even flinch at the heat we've gotten this week! We got a really nasty heat wave this week (even breaking records) so my other peppers arent used to it and droop within minutes, but these jolokias were out all day with no problems, no droop-age at all!

the pic is from their first day of heat... i brought them to work to keep an eye on them...lol, ocd much?
