I can kind of relate to this "less is more" mentality, although I might have a hard time cutting back to just 7 varieties as you have. In the past, I was eager to try as many new pepper varieties as possible every year, and I would typically start around 60-80 varieties each season. It can...

It sounds like you might not be getting adequate drainage with whatever soil you are using in that pot. Or maybe there are not enough drainage holes in the pot itself? Are you using the same soil in that pot as in all of the others? Perlite helps with aeration and drainage. I don't see any...

Like Alkhall said, a lot depends on your individual needs and budget. I have tried different lighting solutions over the years, from CFLs to T8s and HO T5s, LED quantum boards, and even the old-school "blurple" grow lights you find on Amazon. They can all get the job done. But I finally settled...

I prefer the flavor of the three I named over the flavor of the SRP. Just my personal preference. To me, the SRP had a pleasant sweetness with a hint of floral in some of the pods (it reminded me a little of rosewater), but the floral aspect disappeared pretty quickly. Heat levels on the pods I...

I like the Sugar Rush Peach. Good flavor and the plants are productive. However, the heat levels seemed to vary quite a bit on the ones I have grown. Does it live up to the hype? Well, I suppose that would be a matter of opinion. I think it is a good pepper and well worth growing if you have...

Assume that your season ends around your first frost date, and go from there. Also, superhots generally take longer to get ripe pods than say an Early Jalapeno, so bear that in mind too. With that said, I like to use a seed starter mix (Miracle Gro seed starter mix works fine) on a heat mat for...

Since you say it is producing flowers but no fruit, you might want to check whether any of these apply in this case: I think it is fine if you need to trim the plant back a little bit to keep it from outgrowing the little tent you have it in, but I would just be careful not to go too crazy...

Yes, I have used Organza bags to isolate flowers. Covering the entire plant in mosquito netting works too. Some people glue the flowers shut before they open. Basically any method that keeps bees from bringing pollen into the flower should work. No, you won't have to then hand pollinate each...

I like Tekne Dolmasi for a stuffing pepper. It's better than a standard Bell IMO. I haven't tried Lesya yet.

Aji Amarillo, perhaps?

Texas Hot Peppers has them: Tangerine TS

Did you grow that from isolated seeds? If not, then my guess is that seedling is the result of cross-pollination with a variegated variety. And yes, some diseases such as mosaic virus can also cause patterns in the leaves. But that one looks more like it crossed with a Fish pepper or the like to me.

I generally store mine in the fridge, or just in a cool dark place in the house. Yes, freezing should also keep seeds viable longer, possibly for a lot longer. The big seed banks store their seeds frozen, after all.
