bwahaha
Was anyone else sad that the little flower in the center didn’t make it, or was it just me?
TheDogEnd
Holy shit!! If you water seeds *plants* grow?! DO FARMERS KNOW ABOUT THIS!!?!
TheNumster
I think I'd still rather buy them in a shop. 4 months is a long time to wait for one decent stir fry.

What came first, the pepper or the seed? Haha

So fucking cool. +1 for the Hans Zimmer Interstellar music.

100% germination. Tight.

Wait a second, plants grow from seeds? Hold the phone...
modi123
Not sure if anyone has a term for it, so I'll call it "farming".

The color change is super satisfying to watch

My experience growing peppers is either you have none or too many peppers. I got like 40 "garden salsa" this year but they were super hot.

F@&$ you Safeway! I’m growin mah own matoes!

Wait these are peppers.

Day 90 equals .99/lbs vs day 115 equals 2$/lbs...funk that?
superunderpants
This has clearly been reversed
howamistillpooping
So about 4 months

What about the other hundred or so seeds in the original? What was their fate?

thor0486
It's almost like that perfect pepper didn't actually grow to be that way all on it's own. It was placed in a perfect environment with all

the nourishment and care it could possibly need. I wonder what happened to the other seeds?

This year I grew green and red peppers from seed from a grocery store pepper. I got TONS of peppers. So rewarding ^_^
ASquirrelNamedLloyd
That’s amazing! I have a question
ThaWhiteRanger
How many plants did you grow? I tried growing Noir peppers this year and they were stunted af
NaughtButOne
I fukkin' love sweet peppers, but they're *so expensive*. How many did you get, may I ask? Is it one harvest, or do they continue to sprout?
Hammsammiches
They don't stop. Every God damn day.
sunfried
I heard about a guy who wanted to grow his own salsa; he dedicated equal areas of his garden to cilantro, onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos 1/
sunfried
/2 and found that his ratio was nonsense, and he was greatly burdened with the jalapenos. So he tried to make chipotles and found out that
sunfried
3/3 you've got to dry the jalapenos before smoking them, or else you get a gross mess of smoked, wet chiles.

... you're the guy, aren't you?
andy1max
Wow. What other conditions are needed for this? Does it grow in a hot environment?
localsurfer
They'll grow pretty much anywhere.
andy1max
I read that they need a LOT of sunlight.

Yes! This needs more upvotes

AisforApple
Any LEDs which incorporate blue and red spectrum light will work. They might be using an expensive setup, but it's not necessary.

Green and red peppers are the same thing?! I thought they were like grapes.
ProfessorSnugglesworth
Not exactly. Red, yellow, and orange peppers do have a green phase but the green ones you get in the store can only ever be green.
ivocado
Same with white and brown mushrooms.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Just different stages of ripeness. Neither red nor green peppers are anything like grapes.
CatatonicCowMoo
They're both produce! Ha
buddhafw
Well both are fruit.
cusbuster
Explain yellow ones.
NinjaGrizzlyBear
Genghis Khan fucked a bell pepper long ago
isetprettygirlsonfire
Different variety. They go green to yellow. And all increase in sweetness with time
Roune
Also purple ones
andMikesyouruncle

jqubed
I've heard that green bell peppers are just unripe. This seems to support that.
bogus1983
Same for red/green jalapeños.
ErniesWidow
The ones that do turn colors: the longer on the vine, the more vulnerable to bugs; therefore, the more expensive.
SinfulDeviant
Don't care, they're all tasty
BeerFueledAdventurer
Huh, TIL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_pepper#Colors
kamkor1
As someone who has grown peppers, that not fully true. There are many varieties of bell peppers. Some are ripe when green other are not

The hulk is just an unripe red hulk.

We DID have green hulk for a while before we got the red ones
Trashpanda12
And they still charge you more at the store for a damn red/orange/yellow one...laaaame
peeweesweden
That is actually logical, if you harvest green ones, you clear up space faster for a new batch.
Trashpanda12
But why charge more for the same pepper?
peeweesweden
If you sell your peppers green, you can sell more harvests in a year, than if you sell yellow or red. It's third-grade maths, mate.
diphenhydraminehcl50mg
correct. green > orange > red (or sometimes green to purple) imo orange is the sweetest.
catamenia
What about yellow? Is it different then?
diphenhydraminehcl50mg
Yellow would be different yes, green to yellow.

I was today-years-old when I learned this! Thank you for the fun fact!

Orange turns sour when I cook it so I always avoid them when cooking unless it's gonna be sweet/sour.
