Mucho Nacho Jalapeno

[Jason in Plano]

I planted 3 pods of Mucho Nacho Jalapeno.  Park Seeds says they are milder than a regular Jalapeno while other sites say they are hotter.  Has anyone had any experience with this hybrid pepper?

Have you seen any sprout action going on yet? I planted two pods of jalapenos a friend sent me. no idea what kind, just know he grew them himself.

They sprouted and seem to be doing well.  I had 100% seed germination while the chili kit had more like 50% germination rate.

Just an update.  All the leaves had fell of my Jalapeno's from using the tablets from the Chili Pepper kit.  I switched all my gardens over to the General Hydroponics Flora series and the Jalapenos are shooting out new growth.  The Red Fire peppers didn't seem to mind as much and already started growing buds last week.  Now the Jalapenos need to catch up...

My first blossoms opened on the Mucho Nacho Jalapeno's today.  With diligent pruning they are manageable in the Aerogardens.  I think a Classic would be able to hold them.  I've only gone up 2 notches on my Pro 200.  They do bush out so I wouldn't do more than 3 per garden although I currently have 5 in garden.

That's wonderful, sounds like your doing great with those jalapenos. I would love to see them Hint Hint

I can see at least 2 peppers now.  Hopefully more on the way.

I have like a dozen peppers forming now.  I had to trim the plants down as some are growing at different rates, but the plants didn't seem to mind it.

that's awesome! Good to know they dont mind a trim. I bet you are excited by having that many peppers. I know i would be!

These peppers definately work well in a Pro200.  They get quite bushy so I would do no more than 3 per garden.  I have dozens of peppers maturing.  I snipped the tops off a few weeks back to stunt growth a bit, but new growth is already starting to bud up again.

Please post a picture.  I really want to see these.

They were getting too big for my AG so I decided to transplant them outside.   They didn't do well after that.  I did get a good haul of peppers off of them however.  I think 3 pepper plants per Pro 200 is plenty.  They bush out a lot.
