I have definitely used promix for peppers , just follow directions for your choice of nutrients and you should be good to go , so far I have found that peppers like the soil to dry up before watering.

I grew some aji charapita last year, still have one plant I’m over wintering. Quite low yielder compared to my other plants, but then again the peppers are tiny.
Flavor is pretty nice, fruity, and not super hot (the super hots are a little much for me).
Mostly I grow a long cayenne style that I brought back from Italy for cooking.

Yes. Fatalii, Trinidad Scorpion, and Aji Limon.
Fataliis have been the hardest to start consistently, but the the best heat/flavor ration seem the best to me. My favorite pepper, they ferment beautifully.
Scorpions are mostly just hot.
Ajis are mild and flavorful… easy to grow too.

Aji Lemon actually have a citrus flavor to them?
I’m looking for people who have some experience vs my non experience so I can order without waisting $

This looks knarly and cool. They do well with cooking or sauces?

I think they would do great in sauces, but haven’t tried that yet. They remind me of datils, which by themselves already taste like a delicious fruity hot sauce.
I use them in cooking occasionally. Hoping to get a better yield next year and experiment more.

My son and I have only every grown Jalapeño peppers from seed, but he’s shown a real interest. So, I’ve just planted;
Cubano Brown
Poblano
Unknown type
From amazing OG’ERS here, hopefully will order Aji Pineapple or Lemon types 
Plan is to grow for personal use & have some fun tryin to cross breed them.

Chilis breed in kind of weird way due to the different species that we call collectively “chilis” also they are normally self pllinating, so if you want to know for sure you have a cross, you have to prep the flowers in a particular way. Here’s a neat little guide.

Thanks for the link @potpotpot, very interesting.
I have yet to find the photos but I have been growing
habaneros, Scotch Bonnet, Arapaho, jalapeño, serrano,
Bhut Jolokia, Poblano and assorted colored Bell Peppers
for a few years now. I have not thought about cross breeding but,
sounds like fun. Maybe 2024 I’ll give it a try.

They do. Fatalii’s too. Neither are a very strong citrus, though. One of my kids makes a fermented hot sauce called Lemon Bomb, with both those chilies, and throws some lemon balm in there for some citrusy punch.

Sounds amazing, I’m looking up how to make fermented sauces myself right now
