Seven Member FORUMHOUSE
Today I picked “Hungarian Yellow” and tried it – wow! And if for me it’s “wow”, then it’s very good, my body is used to spicy things, I could take a bite of the hottest varieties at the grandmothers’ market, chew them and say “bullshit.”
The popularity of Hungarian spicy is partly due to the fact that it is a fairly easy variety to grow, resistant to most diseases, compact, and grows well without staking. Reaches technical maturity in 125 days - for peppers this is quite fast.
Many FORUMHOUSE participants grow this pepper in open ground, fearing that it might cross-pollinate the sweet peppers in the greenhouse. Seedlings are sown early, in early February, and planted in open ground when the threat of return frosts has passed.
Jkmuf Member of FORUMHOUSE
If peppers are grown under lutrasil, they will be less spicy. That's what happened to me.
According to the observations of FORUMHOUSE participants, Hungarian yellow gains maximum pungency in the state of technical maturity - at this time its fruits are yellow. As it turns red and reaches biological maturity, it loses its oomph effect; you can safely chew the whole pod. At the same time, it is the varieties in biological maturity that are stored well.
rosvo
In this case, I fill the entire freezer with peppers at technical maturity and then gnaw them until the next harvest.
The loss of pungency in hot pepper fruits is caused by a decrease in air temperature at the end of summer; the fruits simply cannot fully ripen. Also, heavy feeding and too frequent watering can affect the reduction in severity.
Frequent watering and fertilizing cause the fruits to increase, but not the heat of the peppers.
To fully unleash the full potential of the variety's pungency, it is necessary to subject the plants to slight stress, gradually reducing watering.
