My Cayenne are just flops, very disappointing. Trying some shishito this year, plant looks great but no flowers yet. Jalapenos are ok, habaneros are producing and red hot cherry is producing well. Just so flustered for the cayenne. I might start some more, and hope it's not too late for me. (USA Z6)
Ben gönderdiğin tohumları heyecanla bekliyorum dostum Türkiye de 3 ay sonra sonbahara girilecek şuan yaz 90,100 gün arası zamanım var tüm malzemelerin fazlasıyla var ve hazır umarım gönderdiğin tohumlar elime ulaşır ve ortalama 100 gün içinde meyvelerini alabilirim
Season is going fairly well for my outdoor plants, and I have several super hot pods, including my Bleeding Borg 9 and Hainan Yellow Lanterns. Unfortunately, my indoor hydroponic plants were hit pretty severely by aphids and may not survive, but going to try some things to get them to pull through. Best of luck to you with your season, Shaun, and everyone else!
So sorry to hear your plants aren't doing as well as you'd like. Mine are doing great so far. They're covered with shade cloth to deal with our record-breaking heat and it makes a big difference.
This reminded me of how blessed I am as a pepper grower in Alabama.

Thanks for sharing your not so great season. Also, great advice on pot sizes. I hope for the rest of the season to be better and hopefully the next season will be stellar!
Just started watching your videos. Love them. I overwintered peppers with 33% survival rate. My peppers were doing great this year until 10 days ago. But 10 day average high temperature has been 111.7°F, humidities in single digits. All flowers dropped, now some leaves. I hope they can recover as we seem to be getting back to normal weather. This area of NorCal has had a bad year, lowest temp 21°F and highest 118°F😢
Your plants all look amazing. I am sure once the sunshine becomes a bit more consistent your plants will just take off. Thank you for sharing Shaun! Always love a garden update. Stay Spicy!
Thanks for the honest and interesting tour. I think you mentioned in one of your last videos that this year you started the season some weeks later than usual. If this is the case, I guess this might be the main reason but hopefully the plants will still catch up. But you are correct about pot size and harvest Vs leaf growth, thanks for reminding us.
Same as any other year so far, but I start under lights at end of January. I stand my plants in a water filled tray when I want volume growth, use canna nutrients. Have plenty of peppers and a multitude of flowers. Cucumber is loving it too.
Had my plants in the ground by May 24. Everything was going great, until the hailstorm. Everything is probably about three weeks behind, but bouncing back nicely.
Glad you uploaded this, I am also in the same position. Plants are small, and no fruit in sight at all. This has to be the worst season for me too, our UK weather really isn't helping the cause this year. I had big plans to finally reach your sauce making stage but no chance now, I'll be happy just with seeing any ripe fruit!
It's the most consistently hot year I've seen so far, a bit south of Toronto, Canada. Earliest start to the season too. My baccatums love it, and my chinense are set fruit about a week ago. Fruiting time is on par with previous years, but the plants are like 4x bigger than I've ever had
Interesting idea about the small pots. I live in a cold climate (Maine, USA), so I do something kinda similar in that I sometimes put multiple plants in a larger pot not caring if I get fruit that year, with the idea being I overwinter and hope for a great harvest in year 2. I lose a lot of plants during overwintering but the ones that make it are incredibly productive and produce early as well.
Having similar problems in southeast Pennsylvania. Heat has been absolutely merciless. Haven't lost any chillis yet but four of my tomatoes have given up.
Your humility, honesty and down to earth personality are commendable. That is one of the main reasons I respect you and you are an inspiration... Wishing you the best Shaun.. Best regards...
We had cold Apr May and June here finally we are the high 20s low 30s. What a slow start for me to. Finally i have fruit setting without losing flowers on my more exotic peppers. Jalapenos are full of fruit. Tomates are slow as well. But tomatoe yields are low only a few hundred on 30 plants. Last year tomatoe total was 2400 on same amount of plants. Everything is in the greenhouse still. I ran a heater apr may and june. All of these plants started in feb in a grow tent. Im in Calgary Canada normally we more than 300 days sunshine here. Ive got 2 months left before winter comes.
I grow in small pots anyway, simply for space saving. Weather is good here in Spain, but I had an issue with whitefly which I didn't notice at first, and it's knocked the plants back a few weeks I think.
My first year growing & so far my chilli plants seem to be doing ok. I'm in South Yorkshire. Miserable weather, lots of rain with very little sunshine. I'm patiently waiting for my habaneros to flower. They're in 2L rose pots which i might keep them in to see how they do.
Hah, your Calabrian plant cracked me up. I’m a huge fan of Italian varieties and all I can say is that there is absolutely no standard naming convention for them. Something like 75% of their chili peppers are generically called “Calabrian” since that’s the main growing region with minimal specifics beyond that. It’s a full on puzzle differentiating between them.
my season has been pretty awful as well. had grand plans for my garden then got super busy all spring and summer and had to let my garden go. Hoping to get things in shape now that i have more time.
My season is going great. The two peppers that I'm growing (Carolina reaper and jalapeño) are doing great. I was able to save nine seeds from the Carolina reaper for next season. But I'm gonna try and do a hybrid between my two plants and see what happens. By the way your lemon perri is looking great. Thank you for your videos and advice you give. God bless.
Glad its not just my plants 😔. Mine look good but growing quite slowly, small plants and dont even have flowers yet. Probably won't get much of a harvest.
I do agree, my chilli plants are suffering so badly on August to October it hits up to 37⁰ C so insane heat that I myself can't resist, it in Sumatera Indonesia near the equator
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one having growing issues this year. My entire garden is growing rather slowly compared to last year. Maybe "glad" isn't quite the right word, but it makes me think it's more weather related than my errors. Also, looks like the surprise monster might be one of your lemon peri plants...
yeah the point you made about not going to a large pot on the first time grow is where i'm at. no fruit, flowers dropped, huge plants though. hopefully in the fall I'll get something. even if I knew that ahead of time I think I would still do it the same way.
My CC Jalapeños are doing great with many pods growing already. I started a few plants very early this year and it's interesting to see how much of a difference there can be between plants of same cultivar and origin, started at the same time. One Dorset Naga has twenty some pods already while the other is only starting to flower. Same with one particular Kashmiri Mirch which I just harvested first pepper of the season from, but the others haven't caught up yet. Most of my pepper plants are looking fairly healthy though.
Thanks for the lemon piri update! I'm struggling with in ground peppers, I think my soil isn't loose enough where I planted. My potted peppers look great though!
Hi ChilliChump - I have heard that growing in black plastic pots restricts chilli root growth as they absorb too much heat in hot sun (not that we're getting any of that this year!). Would like to hear your view on this. Cheers
If you have the space, i can reccomend starting your peppers in fabuary. I grew some of mine for 3 months and then put them on the ground. I then often use mini green house domes to heat em up even more. Clear bottle with the bottom cut off is good until it wont fit.
I think I'm having a good pepper year, some plants (in larger pots) are producing pods, others showiing good growth with the warm weather that has arrivied. Good advice on the pot size, I've got a few plants growing inside (krattky method) and will see when they produce pods.
It would be appreciative of you to add comments about ground growing as you do discussion on pot size and season duration. I live in Reno, NV so I start plants mid Jan. They go in ground mid May. This gives them a ft height from 2g container into garden bed. By end of season I look at 3-4 foot max, depending on heat. As you would likely agree, too high a heat for too many days and plants are on life support. We had over two weeks of 102-106, I had to shade them, water twice a day, just to keep them from stressing. For me, it has caused huge setback on flowering and fruiting. Our season of growing ends late September. My plants now are 2-2.5 ft. Key to me is size in ground, correct feeding and heat/ shade. I’ll try and add a photo on next comment.
So far this year it’s been a difficult year with evening temperatures I spoke to her earlier this month or the previous month regarding a TrinidadMoraga scorpion. I have lots and lots of flowers, which would only fall off do the evening temperatures and finally evening temperatures have stabilized around 75 to 80°F and I am finally getting fruit from my six plants as for my habanero I have lots of fruit but it’s all green and I just got a wait for it to turn redMontreal Canada
Thanks for this very informative video. It is excellent hearing about your experience of growing chillies in smaller containers, especially the enhance results you get.. I am going to follow your advice and grow chillies in small pots this years. Roughly what size would a small pot be please? Thanks for sharing your knowledge, skills, etc. Much appreciated.
almost nothing i planted this year, even sprouted, chilies, or other wise....the few peppers that did sprout, are still less than 1 inch tall after over 2 months.......... some stuff i planted 2 or 3 times, and still have nothing to show for it. the only thing thats growing decently is corn.
This year has been very hot and dry in my area (U.S.A / DC), requiring daily watering. That said, I have a 5ft tall Cayenne with a 4.5 feet canopy loaded with chilies. Additionally, I have a 4.5 feet tall (Mucho Nacho) Jalapeño with about 30 chili's. My Frutescens and Chinense are average, about 3.5 feet tall and wide, with average Chilli counts.
I have been lucky that I started my seeds too early. It was a pain in April but now, even tough the weather is terrible, most non-Chinense plants are close to 1 meter high and a lot of them are creating pods. Even my Habanero Chocolate has some pods. (Growing outside, not in a greenhouse, in the same weather as you are in)
poor for me too, but already planning out next years grow with plenty of seeds on the way, Khang starr's collection and pink tigers are my top priority for next year !
I agree that this year has been rubbish. it was a month late getting plants from propagator to Wilma systems. Im now on Canna Aqua flores (2nd week). Im getting fruit on most plants except habanero and lemon drop... but at least theyve flowered.
This year I had some bad soil and lost 2 plants to sciarid. No matter what method I used, the roots have been damaged beyond repair before my actions had an effect. Maybe I go hydroponic next year!
I feel for you with the poor weather. last year in the northeastern United States we only had a handful of sunny days and tons of rain... It wasn't conducive to growing much of anything...
Lots of Annuums have purple flowers. Buena Mulata, Jigsaw Variegated, Hungarian Black, Tasmanian Black, Lavender Sparkle pimento, Purple Flash (beautiful dark indigo blue color blooms), RH Lilac, Filius Blue (kind of purple), and any of the variegated leaved variegated ornamental with Jigsaw Variegated genetics (Dreamcatcher, NuMex purple dwarf Pasilla, Hot Pops, etc.)
Any advice for dealing with bacterial leaf spot? I found one or two leaves with a spot on it on my aji limon. I removed the leaves but I'm really worried about it spreading to all my plants.
Hi I’m new to growing so all learning. I have a few plants in my polytunnel & some ‘spares’ in my growhouse at home. I’ve decided next year to have the growhouse for my peppers (hot & sweet) as I’ll have the room now I have my tunnel. The spares I have now have a few flowers but are in tiny pots; is it too late to pot them on?
Haha marigolds they are called afrikaantjes in dutch 😂 also to get rid of the ants put some sugar water with yeast in it the ants will eat it and take it to the nest and when the yeast is going to ferment inside them they wil pop and die 😅
heya. try using diatomaceous earth for ants, snails and all other critters. had issues with snails, ate all my basil and some chilies. still using borax pentahydrate, but just around the big fruit trees, when the aphids and ants are having a blast.
Is it a dry patch where the ants are? They hate being damp, maybe a two pronged attack, sugar and borax trap and make sure the area is well watered for a prolonged period.
Hey, love you videos. Could you please advice us or remind us in a new video of the medium you use to grow in the smaller pots. Would be grateful for a refresher. 🤞🤞🙏
Hi Chilli Chump, I dont see many fruit or flowers on my plants yet. Would you say 12 L. pots are a good size for UK and Denmark weather? And allways love to watch your videos. Best regards, Chilis for Vikings
12l is fine for our climate, but you do need to get an early start (beginning of January at the latest.). There's still a few months left to get flowers and fruit, so don't be too disheartened!
@@ChilliChump okay good, I did start in the begining og January to start Feb indoor and moved them to the greenhouse when above 10 degree celsius and night.
It's an app I built. Should have popped up on the screen during the video, and also in the description. Called SeedsIO Here's a playlist of videos showing how it works: ua-cam.com/play/PLuQ_ySnkV1entyEIGv2mDlOlRuR3Gmyr6.html
hope you get good harvests. in my experience the borax+sugar only works a bit, and ants start avoiding it. anyhow, it's all that organic matter with low hydration that ants love to build nests in. i'm getting into more mineral amendments of garden soil and potting mixes of mostly pumice and sand, and only small amount of dead organic matter. it's more expensive but re-usable and better water/air characteristics. hydro a bit too much for me, but interesting to see.
My chilis got a virus that made them do super crooked and tiny leaves, and the heavy rain in Germany has stunned the growth of all the ones I planted in the garden... Terrible...
Very slow growth small plants and tons of aphids i can not shift but everything going slowly and getting blight as its far to wet here in cheshire and my super hots have already failed just left with ghost peno and cayenne .
We're based close to the South Coast in Dorset. Following exactly the same methodology as every year, this has undoubtedly been the worst year for chillies. Largely everything is a month or so behind. Typically our asparagus in the polytunnel will sprout around new year. This year it was March 🤦♂️
First season that I have bigger plants than you. We had extremely warm sprind, everything is about month earlier. The wather in Czechia is crazy hot this year, hottest year in 200 years atleast.
No comparison, lost half my starts this year, need to find a better way of watering. Cost me about $150 for replacements (i hate doing that). Had an ant nest in my new garden bed. What can you do 🤷
Best way to deal with ant is just accept the corporate solution and buy bait stations and the white powder. Bait stations kill everything so just only use in the greenhouses
🤔How has your season been going? 🌶🌱
Fantastic growth only rivaled by the amount of pests eating it all 😂
so far ,not good ,just hope it picks up soon
My Cayenne are just flops, very disappointing. Trying some shishito this year, plant looks great but no flowers yet. Jalapenos are ok, habaneros are producing and red hot cherry is producing well.

My plants look good this year. And the weather is also good I guess here where I am (Slovenia).
Plant looks great. I forgot the video was out today and wondered why i suddenly started getting new followers. Cheers for growing it.

Nice update. The Lemon Piri looks very interesting. Look forward for when the seeds are available.
The start was difficult. I have to grow without a greenhouse. By now the plants grow beautifully and start flowering
We are having the same problem here in Norfolk, temps are down to 13-14 in the daytime and everything is like it's hibernating.
Even worse for me in Cheshire 😢😂
Having similar problems in southeast Pennsylvania. Heat has been absolutely merciless. Haven't lost any chillis yet but four of my tomatoes have given up.
Sorry to hear that
We all were waiting for a big harvest and your fabulous sauce videos that follows 😢
I totally agree with this weather pattern making growing and production so difficult
If growing in ground in shorter season (5.5 months) indoor starting in Feb to allow maturity and fruiting to finish by end of Sept works, somewhat.
Your humility, honesty and down to earth personality are commendable. That is one of the main reasons I respect you and you are an inspiration... Wishing you the best Shaun.. Best regards...

My chilies are also running behind. Id say they're at least 2 weeks back from where they were this time last year. Growing in Southern Indiana USA
If you have the space, i can reccomend starting your peppers in fabuary. I grew some of mine for 3 months and then put them on the ground. I then often use mini green house domes to heat em up even more. Clear bottle with the bottom cut off is good until it wont fit.
I start in January
I think I'm having a good pepper year, some plants (in larger pots) are producing pods, others showiing good growth with the warm weather that has arrivied. Good advice on the pot size, I've got a few plants growing inside (krattky method) and will see when they produce pods.
It would be appreciative of you to add comments about ground growing as you do discussion on pot size and season duration.
I live in Reno, NV so I start plants mid Jan. They go in ground mid May. This gives them a ft height from 2g container into garden bed. By end of season I look at 3-4 foot max, depending on heat.
As you would likely agree, too high a heat for too many days and plants are on life support.
We had over two weeks of 102-106, I had to shade them, water twice a day, just to keep them from stressing.
For me, it has caused huge setback on flowering and fruiting. Our season of growing ends late September.
My plants now are 2-2.5 ft.
Key to me is size in ground, correct feeding and heat/ shade.

It's been tough in the UK the weather just seems to be doing everything wrong this year!
Any advice for dealing with bacterial leaf spot? I found one or two leaves with a spot on it on my aji limon. I removed the leaves but I'm really worried about it spreading to all my plants.
Hi I’m new to growing so all learning. I have a few plants in my polytunnel & some ‘spares’ in my growhouse at home. I’ve decided next year to have the growhouse for my peppers (hot & sweet) as I’ll have the room now I have my tunnel. The spares I have now have a few flowers but are in tiny pots; is it too late to pot them on?
My guess is the other monster plant is a peperdew. Last season i grew a pepperdew plant where i harvested 1105 peppers.
From south africa
My seasons been average...
Wish I had started seeds a bit earlier though, didn't get some in until late Feb
Haha marigolds they are called afrikaantjes in dutch 😂 also to get rid of the ants put some sugar water with yeast in it the ants will eat it and take it to the nest and when the yeast is going to ferment inside them they wil pop and die 😅
How does growing in the ground instead of a small or large pot affect all of this?
trying to get your peri peri peeps to go but its really hot here in florida
heya. try using diatomaceous earth for ants, snails and all other critters. had issues with snails, ate all my basil and some chilies. still using borax pentahydrate, but just around the big fruit trees, when the aphids and ants are having a blast.
What is the app called that you use to determine which plants you're looking at?
Most chinense I grow here in tropical Indonesia are by far the tallest plants
Is it a dry patch where the ants are? They hate being damp, maybe a two pronged attack, sugar and borax trap and make sure the area is well watered for a prolonged period.
Hey, love you videos. Could you please advice us or remind us in a new video of the medium you use to grow in the smaller pots. Would be grateful for a refresher. 🤞🤞🙏
Lost all of my many year old plants to the low desert heat of az.
myne arnt doing as well as id like either the hot wax are loaded ddo
I have 6 varieties growing this year, flowers forming on four, and fruit only on one. Very poor so far
Hot and humid here in North East America, New Hampshire. Zone 5A. Chillies are loving it!
Hi Chilli Chump,
I dont see many fruit or flowers on my plants yet.
Would you say 12 L. pots are a good size for UK and Denmark weather?
And allways love to watch your videos.
Best regards,
Chilis for Vikings
12l is fine for our climate, but you do need to get an early start (beginning of January at the latest.). There's still a few months left to get flowers and fruit, so don't be too disheartened!
@@ChilliChump okay good, I did start in the begining og January to start Feb indoor and moved them to the greenhouse when above 10 degree celsius and night.
Those are peperoncino tondo clabrese peppers. other varieties are the diavolicchio, naso di cane, mazzeto, ristra. all considered calabrian peppers.
What is the app that you're using to track the peppers? I would love to learn more about it.
Best regards
It's an app I built. Should have popped up on the screen during the video, and also in the description. Called SeedsIO
Here's a playlist of videos showing how it works: ua-cam.com/play/PLuQ_ySnkV1entyEIGv2mDlOlRuR3Gmyr6.html
It’s been a really tough year
hope you get good harvests.
in my experience the borax+sugar only works a bit, and ants start avoiding it. anyhow, it's all that organic matter with low hydration that ants love to build nests in.
i'm getting into more mineral amendments of garden soil and potting mixes of mostly pumice and sand, and only small amount of dead organic matter.
it's more expensive but re-usable and better water/air characteristics. hydro a bit too much for me, but interesting to see.
My chilis got a virus that made them do super crooked and tiny leaves, and the heavy rain in Germany has stunned the growth of all the ones I planted in the garden... Terrible...
not trying to be mean, its pronounced la neen-yah and neen-yo. The Ñ makes kinda a y sound. Cheers from numex.
Very slow growth small plants and tons of aphids i can not shift but everything going slowly and getting blight as its far to wet here in cheshire and my super hots have already failed just left with ghost peno and cayenne .
👍
Aren't you heating up your greenhouses though? So the weather shouldnt make that big of a difference?
Had a fair few plants lose leaves and die this year here in Manchester. 😢
We're based close to the South Coast in Dorset. Following exactly the same methodology as every year, this has undoubtedly been the worst year for chillies. Largely everything is a month or so behind. Typically our asparagus in the polytunnel will sprout around new year. This year it was March 🤦♂️
I recommend trimming off all the burn branches
Slow going but some fruits appearing Essex
First season that I have bigger plants than you. We had extremely warm sprind, everything is about month earlier. The wather in Czechia is crazy hot this year, hottest year in 200 years atleast.
No comparison, lost half my starts this year, need to find a better way of watering. Cost me about $150 for replacements (i hate doing that).
Had an ant nest in my new garden bed. What can you do 🤷
Planted 8 Jalapenos, but alas, two died and one of them hasn't flowered yet. The rest I'm sure will do well.
Looks like a monster Mustard Mama?
I wonder if that explains why my Carolina reapers didn’t survive?
Just fyi, its called "Blood Ghost JS" I'm the creator. Thanks!
well all my chilli sprout die so ... from south west of France
Best way to deal with ant is just accept the corporate solution and buy bait stations and the white powder.
Bait stations kill everything so just only use in the greenhouses
Absolutely shit. Crazy weather. No sun
So it's the weather? Has fk all to do with the stupid irrigation setup? Good to know.
Spawning season for the ants
Mid summer and everything is going dormant… I blame global warming 😂
Your Italian subscriber sent you an illegal plant, I would advise you to delete this video before someone of authority sees it 😬
?
@@ChilliChump idk I guess I was just trying to say those balls are fruits with an illegal substance inside, but I'm just trolling 😂
