Experience the superior flavor and exceptional heat of Spicy Slice Jalapeno peppers from West Coast Seeds. This hybrid variety produces numerous uniform green pods that mature to a sweeter red. With a heat level of 4000-6000 SHUs, these peppers are significantly hotter than the standard Jalapeno M, offering a distinct, pungent flavor throughout the flesh, not just in the seeds and pith. The 65-day maturation period ensures a bountiful harvest of deliciously piquant peppers.
Key Features:
- Exceptional Heat: 4000-6000 SHUs, hotter than Jalapeno M.
- Superior Flavor: Distinct jalapeno taste throughout the flesh.
- Hybrid Variety: Consistent and uniform pods.
- Matures in 65 Days: Quick and productive harvest.
Growing Instructions:
- Difficulty: Moderately difficult
- Season: Warm season
- Exposure: Full sun
- Timing: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Grow under bright lights and transplant outdoors only when night temperatures are consistently above 12°C (55°F). Seeds should sprout in 10-21 days with soil temperature at 25-29°C (78-85°F).
Starting:
Sow seeds 5mm-1cm (¼-½") deep in warm soil. Use seedling heating mats to speed germination. Maintain daytime temperatures at 18-24°C (64-75°F) and nighttime temperatures at 16-18°C (61-64°F). Transplant seedlings into 8cm (3") pots before they become root-bound. For optimal flower set, keep at 12°C (55°F) for 4 weeks, then transplant into 15cm (6") pots and move to a warm room at night.
Growing Conditions:
Ensure soil is rich in phosphorus and calcium by adding lime and compost at least three weeks before transplanting. Mix ½ cup of balanced organic fertilizer beneath each plant. Keep soil moist but well-drained. Harden off seedlings before planting out 30-60cm (12-24") apart. Five-gallon containers with good drainage work well. Use plastic mulch and a cloche to increase temperature. Pinch back growing tips to promote leaf production, shading fruits from sun-scald.
Harvesting:
Harvest when fruit is firm and reaches the desired size. Sweetness increases as the fruit ripens. Picking young/green peppers encourages more fruit production. For late-season peppers, pull out the entire bush before the first frost and hang it upside down in a warm, dry place to ripen.
Seed Info:
In optimal conditions, at least 65% of seeds will germinate. Usual seed life is 2 years.
Diseases & Pests:
Prevent rot and wilt by planting in well-drained soils and rotating crops every 4 years. Use paper collars at the base to prevent cutworms. To prevent Tobacco Mosaic Virus, wash hands after handling tobacco. Control aphids to reduce disease spread.
Companion Planting:
Ideal companions include asparagus, basil, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant, endive, oregano, parsley, rosemary, squash, Swiss chard, and tomatoes. Avoid planting near beans, Brassicas, or fennel.
