Looks like you're off to a good start. That pepper list sits pretty high on the Scoville scale! I see you have some tomatoes down there as well. I'm guessing you can take these outside sometimes in early May, possibly late April in you zone, maybe even earlier? Over here it's late May on a good year, early June being the oft-recommended norm. Will you be planting them in the ground or containers, maybe a bit of both?

I agree with using a fan. It really does seem to strengthen seedlings in addition to the other benefits you mentioned.

The tomatoes are Black Krim. April and May could be the best time, moving the plants outside is very tricky, once I lost many of my plants due to sunburned. This time I will try all my best to avoid sunburn. These plants are for containers, ground soil is not so good due to the hedge, everywhere is roots. So I do not plant pepper on the ground.

Hardening them off is the process of avoiding sunburn. I don't have the time to keep bringing them in and out ever few hours and slowly increase the time. I built a cheap rectangle with 2X4's and covered it with a screen on top and partially on the sides and put the plants under that for a few weeks and they are good, no sun burn. Your plants look great and container gardening was the way I started out until I built my raised beds.

I have a screen I will use it this season, probably this season will be better than before because of the fan the stems and leaves are strong.

Still my plants are inside. All my plants are in 3 inches small pots except 6 pots, 4 of them transplanted a few days ago. All of them will be transplanted soon.

Lemon Drops

My first pod Lemon Drops for this season

I had problems of Aphid before this season so, I bought Neem Oil and Liquid Soap from Natural Goodies. This season I got a better solution, I share with you. In our super market I found a liquid soap called Brown Soap 15/30% soap I mix it about 15 ml to 1 liter water and spray every 3 days, it helps my plants a lot. I thought it may have problems because I think 15 ml is a lot, when I sprayed it my hands were slippery due to the soap but nothing wrong. It is the best cheapest way to dealt aphids for me. Not only for aphid, it cleans the plants very well too.

It is my fault, my plants got sun burned and lost all the leaves. Now they have new leaves but I do not know are they going to produce some pods on not.

Ouch, I guess you did not harden them off or did so too fast? Don't worry though, they look on their way to a good recovery and you'll most definitely get pods, just a bit later.

I did, but after a few days I thought it will be OK, my negligence. The climate here needs a lot of attention.

Finally my plants got many flower buds but not blooming looks like stunted except Lemon Drops.

This season i started with supermarket's potting soil.

I learned a lot from this forum from disease to potting soil. I made my potting soil, it is modified from Tapala's 5.1.1. This week I bought two bags of Pine Bark Fine 140 liters. Today i made 3.2.1 potting soil and some of them re-potted.

This is Ghost Red it was germinated on 23rd November 2013. I did overwinter.

Lemon Drops is getting pods again.

Rocoto De Sed had some problems of curl-leaves downward after re-potted problems seems to me disappear, because new leaves are not curl.

I will update again.

The plants look good!

Let us know how they do, I'm especially interested in the Rocoto. I have two second-year plants and they're not doing too well for me.

Every season Rocoto was one of the best and easy to grow plants for me this season when I re-potted first time I did not do properly, just I put it in a big container. Second time re-potted I found the roots problems.

This picture is from 2013.

I had one Rocoto plant in 2013 the seeds were from the same source but that plant had only a few pods.

"I have two second-year plants and they're not doing too well for me." Are they problems of disease?

I will upload the progress of my plant.

Wow, I'm jealous of that lush and fruity Rocoto! :) Do you typically overwinter them or plant new ones each season? What is your climate like? Do you keep them in full sun, partial shade, mostly shade? Do they have a favourite time of year to set pods?

I don't think my plants really have a disease. They both overwintered nicely and looked great indoors back in March/April. They started to become a bit more pale, which is when I re-potted and set them out in May when weather permitted. They are still mostly pale and did not grow since. I did fertilize, but am trying not to overdo it. They put out some flowers, but most fell and I only have one pod at the moment. This is not a big concern as I know they might set pods in late August and September anyway, I'd just like some growth. It seems like some of the existing leaves are starting to get green again. To be fair, most of my peppers are doing so-so, but I think the warmer July weather is turning most of them around and I see improvement in most of them.

I am in zone 7. I do the same treatment like other hot
chilies.

I have a
wild chili C. Chacoense I keep it since 2013, last one and half month it
is losing leaves, so I pruned and re-potted again.

Still you have time, I hope your Rocoto will be fine and will
get more pods. Rocoto seems to me they are OK in a bit cold climate.

Past and Present

They are doing all their best to grow and produce some fruits for me, they are real fighters. I thought this season I won't get any pods but 7 Pod Brain Strain are setting pods.

I think some of my plants have Bacterial Spot. They have many flowers but none of them survive.

This plant had problems after the sunburn. It had a lot of small branches with small leaves. The top small dark green leaves are old brittle leaves I consider they have problems. I removed a lot of brittle leaves and small branches. Now it has bigger normal leaves and branches are growing normally, they are not like the top two branches. However they may not produce any pods because they have about 2 months.

Same plant from the side view. The top two branches could be the suckers so I am thinking to remove them.

Carolina Reaper

It's cool that you're starting to get some pods! There are no real "suckers" when it comes to peppers (even tomatoes really!), so no need to trim whole branches unless they are diseased or else.

I thought removing the branches give the remaining branches grow faster and bigger. Probably they may have disease but I cannot confirm it. They have problems of normal growth. It happened only to the unhealthy plants.

Healthy branches

It is Jay's ghost, soon they may have some pods.

Jay's ghost have no sign of any problems it has a lot of flowers but the flowers have no pollen. If anyone has such type of experience please share with me.

Rocoto De Seda Gold

Does that Rocoto look like it will produce more than a few pods? Mine looks like it may have just formed a pod, but it may yet fall. If it stays, I'll have to pick it sometime in late September, where it'll still be green though.

I hope they will produce more. I have two varieties one of them is not prolific but I do not know which one is I have now. I saw the pictures of your Rocoto it looks like they are not doing very well as you said before.

Jay's Ghost Scorpion

I hope yours fare better than mine. One of my two plants has two branches with normal looking growth, the rest is old and pathetic and I trimmed most of it away. I'm not banking on getting pods this year.

The soil pH level between 6 to 7 is the best for my plants. This season I did not prepare very well. I got problems of sunburn and again pH level is over 7. This season is not so good for me.

Unknown, may be Pequin or Tepin crossed with Blue Mystery. Seed is from Blue Mystery (pepperlover) plant.

Your plants are seemingly doing quite well and you're getting a good number of pods, nice! What are you going to do with all these super-hots?

They are growing very well but they are late. I am expecting only a few ripe pods of Carolina Reaper and X Ghost. I am going to freeze them.
