Hunt for the perfect chili

[woodeddiary]

I'm looking for a new chili to grow indoors in my 2x4 tent. I want something with a really interesting flavor, but not too hot. I've been growing Aji Amarillo and I love it. It's got the right amount of heat for me, not super spicy but not bland either. It tastes great on bread or in a dish like chili sin carne.

I'm wondering if there's something else out there that might be a better fit for my indoor setup. I've never grown a baccatum before and I think they might get too big for my small tent. I'm not a fan of the annum varieties because their flavor is too plain for me. So... what are your recommendations for a compact chili plant that has an amazing flavor and a medium spice level? Are there any baccatum types that stay small?

Bro, I hear you on the Aji Amarillo! If you're looking for something new with that kind of vibe, a lot of the other Aji varieties might be right up your alley. Have you considered an Aji Fantasy? They're also a baccatum but they tend to be super productive and stay pretty compact, more like a bush so I think it would be a great fit for a 2x4. The heat is similar to the Aji Amarillo, maybe a tiny bit milder depending on the plant. i must say the flavor is awesome too. It's got this nice tropical, citrusy kick! Don't let the baccatum label scare you off entirely. Plenty of them are well-behaved indoors!

If you like Aji Amarillo, you’d probably enjoy Lemon Drop (Aji Limón). Similar fruity kick but not as big of a plant if you prune it early. They can still stretch, but in a 2x4 tent you can keep it under control with topping and low stress training.

Been growing Thai and Habaneros and i think I'm ready to try something new. Aji Fantasy sounds cool! Do they do okay in containers with limited sun? and how long do they usually take to fruit indoors?
