I started this one in October 2024, from seed I saved from a store bought orange habanero. It was exclusively under grow light until ~February 2025, after which I started giving it a couple of hours of sun outside (California, SF Bay Area, 9b planting zone). First harvest was in mid April, and after that I went on vacation and the plant almost died (no one was watering it for two weeks and it was pretty hot). At that point it dropped every single leaf and I thought it was completely dead, but kept watering it for couple of weeks and it fully recovered. 4 months later – I got 2nd harvest of the year.
The 2nd harvest definitely seems to be way hotter than the first one. Normally I eat most of these raw, but this batch is almost unbearably hot (probably due to all the stress of recovering from a NDE, and being exclusively under real sun light through entire cycle + more aggressive fertilizer schedule).

Super nice looking plant 🤯
How many gallons is that pot?
Beautiful looking tree I’d try to keep her around as long as possible
That’s almost bonchi quality!
Im new to growing, what is the typical lifespan/amount of harvests you can get from a plant
Was this from seed this year too? That’s insane! Great looking plant!
Great pruning and care. The fruit tell the story 😉
Wonderful
I hear peppers that suffer are spicier
Damn, that’s a lot of peppers! Great job!
