Topic: Hot Pepper problem..

[MassMama]

I just noticed this on my peppers anyone know what it is

*broken link removed*

[Patty S]

Over ripe, maybe? (Or did they get real wet when the sun was beating on them?)

[barleychown]

Are you sure they are not just changing colors, as some do when they ripen? What is the type of pepper?

[MassMama]

They turn red to ripen... They are super Chillies.. I am not sure I have never seen any marks like this on them before... But it has been raining and then the strong sun will come out so maybe it is from that

Rita, here is a good site that covers disorders, pests, and diseases of chiles. It has a lot of information in it about what the fruit look like when affected...

Hope this helps...

  Dianna, yer Correct..._{fer once}
yep they fine, every hot pepper I ever raised was like this while maturing, probably gonna be a hot one..

[duh]

nice looking plant. 

The more you stress the plant the hotter the pepper or at least that's what I've read.

Phil!

Of course, I am correct. If I am wrong, it is the site link's fault! I google everything to try to help...

I haven't tried to grow the "hot" peppers, but my banana peppers looked like that a time or two, the year that we planted them....

Is there any way to keep the peppers from getting like that, Phil? I admit that I didn't read the whole article...

Now me has a headache!:D

[MassMama]

Thanks for the link Dianna.. I will book mark it!!

They are good and hot.. Not as hot as our habeneros but pretty darn hot!!

I don't know anyway to prevent it, and ifin I didn't have head trauma, I could recollect the proper term for the discoloration
but really, it's not a factor in quality or taste....
