When you said “peppers are my main thing so if haven’t yet but you’re still watching this video be sure to subscribe” 😩 please, I subbed 3 seconds in when I realized your page is dedicated to peppers 😂🔥🔥🔥
Do you use hydrogen peroxide in bottled water for the seed soak?
You have created such a beautiful and peaceful lifestyle
Those spoon tomatoes grew wild when I was a little girl in Jamaica we would eat them like berries just like bird peppers they grew all over the place.
I grew some last season. Got some sauce in the fridge still keeping. Seems to get hotter everytime I use it lol
Nice! What else did you put into the sauce with them?
@@jackspepperpatch onion garlic sweet pepper tomato honey vinagre. Basic recipe. Growing carolina reapers this year for novelty lol. Too hot to enjoy every other meal lol
Would be fun to see you eat your peppers and review the taste!
I grow these! My most fickle peppers to grow are my heirloom chocolate scotch bonnets. But I love their flavor!
Those sound good! What do you like to do with them?
@@jackspepperpatch this summers gonna be sauce, but before just dehydrating and making seasoning, and OFC I try to make jerk chicken with it... almost got that recipe right lol.
Nice, my scotch bonnets are germinating right now. My first time growing them, they're the red variety though. I like a nice red hot sauce
Can’t beat a classic red hot sauce. Best of luck this season!
For those that think you need to do all this long process ypu don't I literally took the seeds out of the scotch bonnets I was using to cook with put them in a pot with soil from my garden put them outside and they sprouted and I live in sunny old England 😅
You’re right you definitely don’t have to do all this, and what you describe is what has been done for thousands of years. Always room for improvement though! Starting the plants inside can give you a longer growing season and a better yield.
I do exactly the same.
Thank you
Awesome!!
Great job of showing us your process!
Thank you!
wow....awesome; I luv mi scotch bonnet peppers.....great flavor and not to mention the heat.
do you have any "homemade" fertilizer suggestions for seedling peppers.....
I’m attempting to grow them again here in Southern Arizona- for using in Jamaican Beef Patties.
Awesome video!
Thank you! Best of luck growing those this year and those patties sound awesome.
Amazing video, really detailed and structured. Thank you for posting.
I'm trying these for the first time this year. Didn't get great germination, but hoping for the best with the ones I got! Next year I'll have to try soaking the seeds like you did.
My first try with these I didn’t soak and got 0 germination, so you’re doing better than me! It seems to really help them. Best of luck with your plants this year!
Interesting,im on my third year of growing chillies after 30+years of of growing a certain recreational plant and have last year used neem oil until the last time i swap pots,never had any problems with black fly ,fruit fly etc!
This season just out of curiosity i will be trying booster when in fruit,just to see of course, learning by doing 🤔👌
Really interesting 🇬🇧
Subbed
Learning while doing is the way to do it! There is a lot of overlap between chili plants and your previous ones, so I’m sure you’re already a pro! Thanks for subbing, I have a lot of awesome growing excitements in the works for this year.
Great video! Can't wait to see the progress.
your scotch bonnet grew fast I planted some a month and a week ago the biggest is about 2 inches tall with six small leaves the plants are barely there some half inch and some an inch and a half I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I put them in plastic cups with just potting mix and I bored some holes this week I used dirt from outside and changed the cups I added no holes and plants started to grow u could see a big difference that's how the tallest one got to about 2inches. The plants are located on my window sill that's kept open and they do get sunlight plus I water them almost every day.
Probably the temperature/ amount of sunlight. Scotch bonnets like it hot with a lot of direct sunlight
Did your spoon tomato seedlings look sickly under the grow lights after a few weeks? I read a lot of comments with similar issues that disappeared after they were moved outside.
You keeping the spoon tomatoes in containers is the way to go. I couldn't keep up with the growth on the one i had in my bed. 6ft tall, 6ft wide bush. 8ft long root by end of season. Had to prune it with a machete. Fun plant but wow it's tedious to harvest.
Mine didn’t stay inside too long, so I didn’t get any of that. They are extremely prolific though and I feel you with the tedious harvesting! At the beginning of the season it was fun picking a few to snack on every time I walked by, but by the end of summer harvesting was a chore. I spent 30 minutes one day filling a huge bowl and I still didn’t pick all of them so I left the rest for the birds. Even as the plants started to go downhill in the late summer they continued to produce well. But they are delicious and fun! They always got a great reaction from people when I’d share them too! I’m glad they ended up in buckets as well, that was a side effect of them being freebies and me not having a chance to incorporate them into my bed planning for the year but as you said it definitely worked out.
What color grow light? Am I keeping the heat Matt the whole time? I just ran a batch of seeds for weeks and nothing. I’m going to try and soak.
hola, veo tus plantas en el minuto 6:59 y estoy impresionado con el tamaño, ls mias llevan 3 meses y no han crecido mas de 5 centimetros y las hojas tampoco crecen,
por favor me podria explicar como aplcias el ferttilizante neptune o que otro fertilizante puedo utilizar, ya que nunca les pongo nada, solo el sustrato de germinacion
te agradeceria me digas como lo diluyes, cada cuanto lo aplicas o si lo aplcias en cada riego
Desde ya muchas gracias
Hello, I saw your plants at minute 6:59 and I am impressed with the size. Mine have been there for 3 months and have not grown more than 5 centimeters and the leaves are not growing either.
Please could you explain to me how you apply the Neptune fertilizer or what other fertilizer I can use, since I never put anything on them, only the germination substrate.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me how you dilute it, how often you apply it or if you apply it at each watering.
Thank you very much in advance.
My scotch bonnets keep dying after they have fully popped up with two leaves. How can I fix that? I water them and give them light and use the same mat you use.
I'm planning to sow habanero pepper seeds in this month of March spring but in which month or season you sow the seeds and can these plants tolerate the severe heat of june and July? Do they need full sun or partial shade.? Please help
Awesome! Did you check the roots on the plant that wilted for damage?
Thanks! I did not, but that’s a likely cause because I do have all sorts of critters. I was more worried about getting it away from the others in case there was some sort of disease going on. Did you have something similar happen?
@jackspepperpatch I had it happen one time this past season and it was because some sort of beetle that ate all of the roots. I only had one plant affected. I'm in zone 9b so we just had our first frost this week. 2023 was my first successful year growing peppers and tomatoes after trying and failing for the first time in '22. I started my new seedlings in December and am fortunate to have the space to try and triple what I did last year. I enjoy your videos!
No fertiliser with calcium, boron and iron?
Do you just use the seeds from inside the peppers??
Good video. Do you keep the lid covered on your container after they sprout, off the heat mat while they grow their true leaves? Also, how close do you keep your light to them?
Hi! I take the humidity dome off once they have all germinated and are fully upright. I did leave them on the heat mat the whole time they were inside the house though just because I had them in a room that stays cooler. My light is not very good, so I kept it as close as possible to the seedlings when I wasn’t filming clips - just a couple inches above them for most of the time.
What type of potting soil do you use/recommend?
Any help would be awesome. I started a bunch of pepper seeds ranging from ghost peppers to italian sweet slicers. 72 cell trays, hest mats with humidity domes. This year, I covered the seeds with vermiculite. What I didn't realize about one week in that they have not been getting enough water. (Because of rhe vermiculite)
Do you think they are done for?
Since it’s only been a week, they might not have germinated yet. If so, they should be fine as it won’t hurt the seeds to dry out. But if they already germinated then dried out then unfortunately they probably are done for. Maybe you could carefully dig one up to see if it’s germinated? If it hasn’t then I’d just keep them moist going forward and maybe they still will.
I’m not sure where you get your seeds, but I haven’t had much luck finding a real strain of scotch bonnet. We’ve tried for several years even had my father-in-law bring some back from Jamaica and they were habaneros not real scotch bonnets. Where do you get your seeds?
Hmmm I have the same seeds and mine did not grow like that
Just curious where do you get your seeds from? Would really like to try and grow some different peppers.
These were from baker creek. I also buy seeds from white hot peppers, botanical interests, and burpee. Lots of good options out there!
Full sun for the peppers or do they like some shade?
Full sun!
@@jackspepperpatch thank you , got TFM bonnets and red habanero going 👊
Did you prune the tops while they were growing?
I did not! These plants did a great job of branching out and forking on their own.
What was the name of the fertilizer that had the calcium in it. Please
It's a Vigoro product, from home depot. Marketed more towards tomatoes, but works great on peppers:
www.homedepot.com/p/Vigoro-3-5-lb-All-Season-Tomato-and-Vegetable-Garden-Plant-Food-Plus-Calcium-12-10-5-124346/203106474
Awesome Did you use hydrogen peroxide water on your 24 hr seed soak?
Just plain water! Does hydrogen peroxide help?
One tablespoon hydrogen peroxide helps break seed coat better & speeds seed germination rate big time did 50 Red Hot Chili Peppers as experiment every seed germinated on same day which took 4 days can also can add aspirin break it up stir with water creates Salicylic acid can both be sprayed on plants as well You’ll be impressed
what was the pelleted fertilizer you used?
It’s a tomato fertilizer from Home Depot. Brand is Vigoro it’s a 12-10-5 plus calcium.
