It took 6 hours.it really powdered up fine. It did change the taste of the pepper flavor. Now it is a mix of super sugary and very fruity taste with the heat lvl raised, with all the flavors hitting you at the same time. Very tasty. 10 oz of peppers turned into 1 oz of powder.
I made friends with a local farmer's market vender and as we were talking she mentioned that she had some dried (freeze dried maybe) peppers. She shared some sugar rush peach, hot peppers, and gold habaneros. My ultimate goal is to make a fruit forward, hot sauce, preferably in small batches as I experiment. To that goal I had a few questions:
Thanks so much for all the wisdom!
Can't wait till its ripe. Still trying to figure out how to prepare it .
Just started my dehydrator with 30 sugar Rush peach peppers cut into quarters about 145° f for 9 hours approximately rotating every few hours. Looks like my next powder is going to be fish peppers and then lastly my chocolate Trinidad scorpion pepper. I just got my first pepper started on one of four scorpion pepper plants.
I’ve been buying a pepper seed mix off and on for years trying to get one specific pepper(purple cayenne). Sure I could have just ordered them, but this was way more fun! Crazy part is I ended up getting 6 at the same time!

Got these seeds from a friend. They are marked jalapeno orange x jigsaw. Very interesting variegation.
Had to stop and add shade cloth as what was supposed to be cloudy and rainy turned into blue skies and 85F.
Whats wrong with my bolivian rainbow pepper
Just noticed these flower pods Purchased April 20th ….. now today 5/18/2026
Have been using 31-11-11 fertilizer. How many times am I supposed to pinch the flowers off? We’re not even at the hottest part of the year. July August will be over 100°.
Not too bad of a first harvest. sugar rush peach (10.3 oz)and supposedly Bonnie thai hot peppers (0.2 oz).They looked more like birds eye peppers to me. 1/2 to 1 in long.
Long story short, I grew these from some peppers I bought off Coles Australia which claimed to be Carolina Reapers. The taste, smell and the heat is very similar to that of Reapers. What could those be?
Yellowing on the newer small leaves. More nitrogen? Less nitrogen? Less water? more water? Grown in a 5 gallon bucket in promix herb and veggie with extra perlite added
