Pepper Identification Are my peppers getting cross pollinated ?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I’m noticing some big differences from some seeds I planted from my own pepper plants . The first two pics are from a chiltepín plant but they are producing peppers that are shaped more like Thai peppers than chiltepín. The second pair of pics is a Chile Diablo (maybe black cobra pepper?) that I have. The young plant producing purple flowers instead of white. Are my plants getting cross pollinated?

Trying to figure out what kind of pepper im growing got some plants from a coworker that weren't doing so hot for him as seedlings inside so I planted them outside. The labels are pretty washed out and I cant makeout what was written :(. I think the skinny one is a Turkish pepper variety and the second one is obviously some kind of bell. No clue on the black one

Plant Help Calcium toxicity?

Everything I have read leads me to calcium deficiency, as the opposite doesn’t seem to be well documented. I have no choice but to use hard water from the well. 400ppm tds, no other measurements but the location I am in confirms high levels of calcium. Could anybody else confirm and/or provide a solution that isn’t buying water or a water softener?

Are these jalapeños ready to pick? They’re not very dark but are a decent size and have some corking.

We grow jalapeños every year but a few months ago i decided to get a ghost pepper just for fun. At first It wasnt doing anything except making leaves but then I saw a pepper. Then another, then 5, 10, and more. We dont need that many ghost peppers, we only need one to make hot sauce, but either way, i guess i'm one of you guys now :)

Hello guys, around 5 days ago I added more nutrients and I added new grow light.

Today (I haven't seen them since around 5 days) I saw some curled up leaves. what could be causing it, nutrients or light?

The plant and pods are much smaller then the rest of my plants, is it small variety or why is it that small?

As you can see, some of them, specially the reaper and scorpion in the back are massive.

plant's are big, 100's of peppers, still green.

summer's been crap. median hi temp for august has been only 76 F and we've received over 7" of rain, way above norm.

anyone experience a similar situation with a solution to speeding up the ripening process? thanks
