My peach biquinho peppers aka sweety drops.. Grown via kratky hydroponics in my kitchen. Pickled some and ate one this morning expecting the sweet barely spicy peppers you get at the Whole Foods olive bar. Holy sh!t !!!!!! I wont go as far to say it was habenero heat, but definatwly somewhere between a cayenne and thai chile. Caught me off guard and spit it out mid chew and ran to frisge for milk. LOL!

this is unrelated but what are you using for your set up? i was interested in trying this because i want to grow over the winter with a light potentially just to see what happens.
My red Chupintinhos are like this also, instant heat, hotter than a Jalapeño, not quite Habanero heat but catches you off guard.
Home grown biquinhos are much hotter than the stuff you can get at the store. Mine hover somewhere around serrano/cayenne range on average, but occasionally I’ll get one that’s nearly habanero.
The whole foods ones do not taste like real biquinhos you might find in Brazil. They dump a ton of sugar in them or something, I actually think they’re not good at all compared to the real thing.
I’ve been growing peach for a few years now and yeah, they’re considerably hotter than the reds I grew in the past. Whites are supposed to be up there too, and yellow IIRC. They’re about perfect to me – close enough in heat and aroma to chiero roxa that I pickle them together and otherwise use them pretty interchangeably.
those are gorgeous
😂
It is a very pretty pepper.
