BoringBloomer,
Where are you located ?
My summer grow season is nearing end and I have pinching off any buds/flowers on my hot peppers starting early September. B'c I know they would have stood no chance to mature.

MuhAhhh ha ha haaaa.. Those are some mean looking ghosts! I love it! Fun!!. My hot pumpkins came in a little earlier than the ghosts....

Could be fun trying to get them to fruit together next season...

Thanks for sharing!

zippy, I believe we did a trade that included Ghost seeds. I grew seeds from the same packet and got ghost peppers, not serranos. I believe I sent you both ghost and anaheim seeds. I hope those are not the ones you're talking about. But if they are...I want to make it right with you. Here are some pics of the ghost peppers I grew from the same seed I sent you: Not ripe yet: had to harvest these due to frost and hung them to ripen: Please let me know if its the seeds I sent you that you're talking about. I didnt harvest the seeds I sent to you so I cant vouch for them 100% but they DID produce ghost peppers for me. I want all trades to end on a good note so please share your thoughts. I'd happily send ghost seeds that I harvested myself this year. I also have some things on your 'want list' that I'd be gladly to send. Look forward to hearing from you. Nancy

Ghost chili - How long from flower to ripe pepper?

Mine will vary depending on the weather, 75 days is probably a good number. I have 50 or more peppers on mine already. Some are two or three inches long and should start ripening soon.

bberkmor: True. Most people have no problem spending $5 for 10 seeds as long as they get what they are expecting to get. It is just sooo disappointing when you grow out some seeds that you ordered and after five or six months of nursing them along, you finally get some fruit and find out you have a Bell Pepper when you wanted a Ghost Pepper. Yes, many times you will be able to tell something is wrong before fruit grows. But it you are inexperienced growing peppers or inexperienced with the variety you are trying to grow, it isn't always real evident you have an imposter growing until it is way past time that you can start over with fresh seed. It winds up screwing up a whole season of growing. That is the shame in it all. There have been several people on this forum that have grow "weeds" for 5 months before they realize something is wrong. So, finding a good reliable source for seed is very important if you are serious about growing peppers. Bruce

My chilies are slow grown. They are just beginning to turn. Growing in Oregon can be hit or miss when it comes to hot sunny days.. I'm hoping I can bottle a bit of sunshine to hold me over until spring.... "Hot Holidays to All"
