    Description

    Polish classic hot pepper. Cyklon is an early, high-yielding variety with intensely red, conical fruits and a distinct yet still approachable heat—5,000 units on the Scoville scale, roughly twice as hot as a jalapeño. Ideal for your first homegrown chili: plenty of fruit, little drama in your mouth.

    What makes this variety stand out

    Cyklon is an early variety valued for its stability and predictability. The plants are compact and well-branched, producing abundant fruit that ripens evenly from green to a deep red. Unlike exotic habanero or bhut jolokia varieties, Cyklon does not require a hot climate—it fruits successfully under cover and, in warmer regions of Central Europe, also outdoors.

    Growing step by step

    Sowing (March, under cover): sow the seeds in trays or plug trays filled with a light growing medium, at a temperature of 22–25°C. Germination occurs after 10–14 days.

    Pricking out: when the seedlings produce their first pair of true leaves, transplant them into 7–8 cm pots or plug trays with 6 cm cells.

    Planting out (second half of May): once the risk of frost has completely passed, plant the seedlings outdoors or in pots (min. 5 l), spacing them 40 × 40 cm apart. Well-prepared, humus-rich soil and a sheltered position are essential.

    Care: water regularly and moderately at the base of the plant (not over the leaves), and feed every 2 weeks with fertilizer for fruiting vegetables. The first flower buds can be removed to encourage better branching.

    Uses

    Cyklon is versatile: excellent for preserving (pastes, oils, marinades), for drying (ground chili for the whole year), and for eating raw in salads and salsa. It is especially recommended as a homegrown seasoning—one plant usually produces 30–50 fruits, providing enough chili for the home kitchen throughout the season and beyond.

    Gardener’s tip

    Hot peppers are impatient—do not sow before March, but no later than April. Sowing too early (in February) requires supplemental grow lighting; otherwise, the seedlings will become leggy. Sowing too late means you may only harvest green fruit, as ripening to red takes an additional 3–4 weeks.
