I'm growing Carolina Reapers

Maybe just not hot enough yet. I haven't grown that variety but it seems a little early for peppers. Mine usually would do good when it stayed over 80 degrees

I grew them last year and they really didn't produce much until the fall. I made several jars of Chow Chow.

That sounds like some shite that the Feds would raid your house for

What do you use those peppers for?

Yes germination is a bitch.

My peppers last year (cayennes, jalapeños, bells, and golden cayennes) would flower and then drop their flowers when the temp went down. They started flowering as soon as they got moderately big, but they would drop the flowers every time it got cool. They started producing when it consistently stayed around 80 at night and hot as shite during the day.

I've grown several super-hots and they never produced very good. I cut a couple back, dug them up and put them in 3 gallon pots and over-wintered them inside. Planted them in the garden in the spring and they grew like weeds. Beautiful plants (small trees, really) that were loaded with more peppers than any sane man needed.

Guy down the street grows Louisiana Creeper, and it's hotter.

If the guy down the street isn't named Troy Primeaux he is not growing Louisiana Creepers. Troy hasn't released these peppers to the public. He is going for the record and that would mess it up for him

It's not hot enough is the answer, I don't put any kind of peppers in the ground till it the over night lows are about 75. Same with Okra, I was told by an old farmer that you don't plant okra till its so hot your wife comes to bed naked.
