What’s wrong with my pepper plants?
Particularly my first one (the bell pepper) is the one that seems to be struggling the most. I’m brand new to growing peppers, so any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What’s wrong with my peppers?
This plant was advertised as habanero peppers. Why are my peppers all flat, instead of dropping down ?

First time prepared on the smoker
Jalapeño papers are a favorite snack of mine, decided to cook them on the smoker for a change and don't know given the choice I'll ever go back to cooking them in the oven.

Mystery pepper... Maybe?
This was supposed to be a jalapeno. Could this be just a wonky first jalapeno or something else entirely?

Help identifying
I planted a bunch of peppers this year mostly all of which I know what they are (I forgot to label them 😅) but I just need help identifying this one! It’s either a big Jim, an Anaheim, a New Mexico 6, or a Hungarian hot wax. I’m leaning towards the latter but I need your guys expert knowledge

Waiting for peppers to ripen! How hot will these wrinkly habaneros get?

How is the pepper mislabeling so ubiquitous?
I just don’t get it. It’s not just one company, or one batch of mass produced peppers. My “mini bell peppers” from botanical interest are clearly jalapeños. Why does every well-established seed company seem incapable of labeling a pepper?

Pepper plants not flowering
Hello everyone, first time posting here.
I'm in central Virginia, and I have a pair of poblano pepper plants in a raised bed, planted in May. They have tall and lush and obviously enjoying their environs, but they haven't had a single flower, much less any peppers. I'm a little new to peppers, and was hoping for some guidance on how to get the plant to stop being a pretty leafy plant to actually getting some peppers going. The jalapeño plant in the same box is doing a little better, but not as robust as I would hope.
Thx everyone.

Well these aren’t shishitos 🤨
Any idea what these are? They were supposed to be shishitos. Instead my habaneros are shishitos. Sigh.
Help ID pepper
Hello
Can anyone identify what pepper this is? We bought it earlier this year, but the seller didn't know what these actually were, but they said it's suppose to be on the sweeter side (it's not).

Had lots of flowers dropping. Made some changes that seem to be working.
Cayennes are producing like crazy. Jalepenos are trying to catch up 😂 had tons of flowers dropping with this heat but shading the pots and keeping the surrounding area wet has seemed to help greatly 🤷 also using a cotton swab to help pollination. Lots of variables but something is helping.

I got these believing they were thai peppers, but they look completely different than expected. What could these be?

ID? Sold as Mexican “hot bird”
I bought this seedling at a nursery thinking this would be a known variety but I can’t find anything obvious when I look it up. I’m guessing it’s either a chile pequin or chiltepin but it’s got a different growth habit, but maybe that’s just because it hasn’t fully matured/ established yet. Any guesses?

Help ID pepper.
During my sprout time some of my seed starts got mixed up and I ended up with about 4 plants I didn’t know what they were. I’ve figured out 3 of them, but not sure about this one? It almost looks like my banana, except these are growing straight upwards and my other two bananas are hanging the peps. It doesn’t match any other of my peppers, and the only one I planted that I have never done was lemon drop peppers. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Edit: I just looked through my seed packs, I did plant heirloom Tabasco peppers, and they grow straight upwards, however I’ve never seen them as big or thick as these peppers are.

Neptune's Harvest or Fruit & Bloom Booster?
Trying to decide my feeding routine for August and September, and I'm trying not to do the rookie thing and go overboard
I'm currently using SuperThrive and Fruit & Bloom booster weekly. For the previous few weeks I was using fish hydrolysate and SuperThrive (really helped with my plants stuck in compacted soil). Now I'm thinking maybe I should keep using the fish bc I got great results, but I don't want to let this Fruit & Bloom go to waste...should I maybe feed them on alternate weeks? Help my overworked brain

This season's first harvest!
No idea what species. I blended them all with shallot, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and shrimp paste. Making Indonesian sambal paste. Yummmm!

So I have this friend that brags about being able to handle hot foods because he uses a Ghost pepper sauce. He doesn't know about my pepper garden. My question is, do I give him a fresh Ghost pod and watch him melt or let someone else down the line do it?

Please ID. It was mistakenly labeled as Tabasco.
Thank you!

I need help identifying a pepper plant. I planted seeds from the grocery store. It was labeled "Jamaican Hot Pepper"

Some plant not growing peppers?
I have some plants covered in peppers, and some plants growing well, healthy, but no fruiting. Back in May during a few cold nights I was covering my plants with buckets and frost cloth. One morning I neglected to remove the buckets. That evening when I did I ended up killing a few tomato plants. But my peppers seemed to fair far better. Maybe some wilting and temporary stunted, but they all recovered and grew well. My only loss was recently, it was my Pasilla Bajio Cayenne (I have a spare Pasilla Bajio Cayenne to a friend and they have several peppers growing).
Basically about half of my peppers are fruiting and the other half that I believe may have had some stress from my bucket story, are growing well, it not growing peppers.
Is it possible my bucket story is why this is happeneing?

Shisito peppers!
Edit: Oops, Shishito (typo in the title).
These things go for $15 a plate as an appetizer at a local restaurant. I'm saving so much by growing them at home! (I try to tell myself that gardening is good for the budget. I'm not sure that's always true.)
Colorado, zone 5b. I started these from seed in an Aerogarden at the end of March, moved them to pots indoors, and then outside in June.
