I just wanted to let you know that YOU are my hero!!! I keep watching your videos over and over to build confidence. This is the 1st year I have ever grown hot peppers from seed and I am so excited!!! I have obviously started a little late but next year I will start early. Thank you for sharing your love of peppers and your knowledge to help people like me do the same. Thanks again !!
Awesome video Mr. Starr! I have a suggestion for a quicker way of germinating. Dampen a paper towel and put a few seeds on the paper towel then, fold the paper towel and put in a zip log bag in a warm place or window sill with sunlight. In a few days the roots will start to sprout.
I use a soldering iron and use it to burn holes into the bottoms of the solo cup. Works great, as you melt the plastic it makes a rigid think band around the hole. This way the opening is stronger, and doesn’t crack and tear in use. Makes good for reuse of the cup
Cant wait this years my first try at growing super hots ! Aji mango , aji brazilian starfish , carolina reaper , douglah 7 pot , choclate douglah, bubblegum 7 pot , ghost pepper , and choclate habanero! Im 19 new at this from cali thank you Khang starr I learned almost everything I know from your videos . Ima start some myslef keep up the wonderful videos bro
You may want to use a small rock or something that will elevate the upper cup to the height you want, then a square cup becomes unnecessary for the elevation you desire.
One thing I like about your channel Khang is that your videos are unedited but still interesting. Also, you are very organized. I do almost the same thing as you for peppers except I use a refrigerator and tea. Have a good day!
THANK YOU! I planted at least 100 seeds in the garden in cups about 30 days ago. I didn't know at the time hot peppers needed warmer temps to germinate and nothing has been sprouting but weeds. I've watched other UA-cam videos but like your technique best and I might be able to save some of this years planting with the plastic bags...next year I'll do it your way from the start.
Khang Starr I thank you for all your unselfish work and you giving your time to help all of us learn your techniques for growing peppers. I have watched virtually every video that you have put out it's taken some time all of my bell type peppers are up and doing very well and now a few of my superhot have come up but nowhere near as many as I have planted I guess I just need to be more patient, everything I grow is being grown in my greenhouse it's not very big 30'x 15', and it is my goal to put the super hot in 5 gallon pots minimal. I have successfully overwintered two Bhut Jolokia from last season also two Habaneros and two Big Bertha bells, I use a fluorescent light system for my planting tables, which works very well for all my other vegetables I grow pretty much everything but I start all my plants and the 1020 flats peppers included is it possible that using the flats for my peppers are too small ? The cups are 2 3/4" deep but I notice you use those large solo cups do you think I should be doing likewise for my super hot peppers? Thank you again in advance
HI Alice. It's fine to use small containers for seedlings, but peppers do grow quick and will require much more space. Even with the solo cups I'm using, they will outgrow those in 2 months. What I do is cut them back to slow them down since I can't put them outside anytime soon.
My son had a fit because I wouldn't let him throw away the cups. I have planted a few peas and other seeds in them. I also transplated my prespriuted ghost pepper seeds from the grocery store peppers.
@@KhangStarr hey man, i planted gost pepper seeds 2 weeks ago but i still got nothing. How long can it take because i dont see anything and i have placed the cup in a glass container where its pretty hot and moisty
nice...i tried this method with my new seeds... within 7 days they sprouted up .... i am setting some carolina reaper, ghost, moruga hot, trinidad pimento/pemento and guyana wiri wiri ( this one didnt sprout yet)
I’m glad to find this video. Almost time to start my seeds! I’m going to try some different varieties this year along with the ones I planted last year! You helped me out a lot! Wish me luck! Have a happy day! 🙃💕
happy new year! so exited for this new season, and btw last year i started growing peppers because of your channel :) Thank you so much for this new hobby!
Nice start Khang. You're off to another pepper season! You're doing some really cool varieties, as usual. I'm going to start mine in a few more weeks. Thanks for sharing!
nice vid, you should try this: put the seeds in camomile tea (without sugar & room temp) for 1 day and then you know what to do, this makes seeds to start faster ;)
I am in Atlanta Georgia, and I am starting my Peppers similar to you first the zip lock bag and paper towel, then I will move to my Solo cups. I enjoy your simplicity of your methods. I hope my success is similar to you. Eventually I am going to go outside to a Raised Garden I am building out of 2x10's 4 x 8 double high. I have Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Sarrano, Habenaro, and Jaholopeno I wand to grow a few of each. I also am going to grow Grape Tomatoes in Rubbermaid Tub by Hydroponics method. I also have a Aerogarden Bounty inside for lettuces. Thanks...
Khang Starr I'm so late with my ground cherry plants but finally got some that sprouted about 15 seedlings and I'm going to grow them all lol.. happy you like the seeds amigo
@@KhangStarr Wash them in bleach & rince good first to kill off any baceteria that may effect the Plants , I learned this the hard way a few growing seasons ago, the pebbles were not washed in bleach & they killed off my seedlings & had to start all over again etc. same with any flour pots you used the year before the bleach kills off the bad stuff just rince good in cold water & your set to plant etc.
Very nice . Your inspirational videos have helped me create a pepper paradise at my home in the Pacific NW this year. I can't thank you enough......... Best Regards. Jeff.....
As always, you make the best videos, man. I was talking to a lady at Earl May who said she got so much of her knowledge from your videos. I told her I was making my first attempt using your non-circulating Kratky method. I've got a ton of sprouts still in the starter container, but I do have one Yellow Brain Strain already going the Kratky route. Unfortunately there isn't a hydroponic store within 45-50 miles, and I am impatient with ordering things online, so I made my own Net Cups with a dremmel from some plastic shot glasses. lol. Keep up the good work man. Many of us feed off of the information you provide.
I just saw your channel and wow I can feel your passion true my screen :) Thanks, I will have to check other videos now, I have 8 varieties of hot pepers hand for almost 2 months now I just can't make them germinates, I start to think that they did something to the seeds, I can grow anything anywhere, you know what I'm talking about :) I even try putting them in water for 24 hours ( 12-24-36 ), in toilet paper, in soil like you, with plastic cover, nothing is working, if you have an idea your more than welcome, I'm about to trow them away and start something else but would be nice to know what my problem is, PH good, temp good, water good, thanks.
Looking good, I'm planning on using this method for this year. Going to make a seedling shelf with fluorescent shop lights hung above on a timer. Planning on doing Scotch Bonnets, Thai Birds Eye, Aji Pineapple & Lemon, Cumari do Para, and some neutered Chinense (Zavory & Trinidad Perfume). I have a feeling that I will end up with way more plants than I have room for, I'll just have to give some away I think!
You got new subscribe, Im watching your vids lately. I'm new in growing pepper, got my self 30 plants already, 60 seeds 7 days ago, will plant 60 more in 7-8 days. I have red and chocolate habanero, carolina reaper, naga viper, buth jolokia orange, red savina, Trinidad moruga and fatalli. Hoping to get some pepper in late August or September. greetings from Serbia @Khang Starr
maybe a couple pebbles or wood chips would give you the space between cups. Kudos for re-using. I cringed when I saw the cups. I'm trying to think whether I come up with any trash the right size. I have some shorter containers for nuts and stuff. It's already April this year, I guess I should just plant outside?
A few variations from what I do but it works well for me. I truely wish I could get some of your seed, you have some very interesting varients and crosses. We do fertilize the same way tho.
Just to let everyone know... at most Lowes you can get free pots in most sizes. they save them for their customers. so far, this is true for Georgia and Illinois. its a money saver all around. Naturally, Yes, you will need to clean them. But it's free! so if you have one in your area, give them a call (gardening dept) before you drive up.
THANKS MAN! I won some seeds from Chris, I cant wait to see what all I got. Also just got an l.e.d. Light for christmas. Cant wait to try out what I won using the kratky method with l.e.d. Lights. Atleast for now until we hit some good spring weather then I will move to outdoor.
Hi khang its now sowing season here in Cochise County Az . Is difficult to over winter here the summer is to hot and dry. so i have to start my Mexican and Jamacan Bunions fresh every year . Unless you can help here??. how can i grow in the summer and over winter to get a fast start to my growing peppers/chillies thanks Khang Star much appreciated...........Ed
I know this is an old video but I'm looking to start trying to grow my own reapers using this method to start with and in time buy small pots and what not. As far as storing them so they can germinate and grow, you said they must be in a warm place. Usually my home is a cool place but warmish. Anywhere between 67 and 75 degrees in the house. But to be on the safer side should I just buy a heat lamp and leave it on over the course of the week in a dark empty room I have to keep it at a constant temp? Or would I be okay simply leaving it by the kitchen window?
A heating mat should work. I think they should be between 70-80 degrees. This will also be my first time and from all of the videos I've watched, the people who started them inside placed them on a heating mat and under a grow light. I'm going to experiment, I'll be trying the method he suggested and putting some outside, I live in south Florida, I think the heat will be good enough.
Get a lighter and use the flame to catch the edge of the bottom of the cup for a second or two, and you will have nice smooth holes at the base, istead of cutting them with scissors 👌
what is up Khang ? long time no speak bro , glad to see you are still in the pepper game. not so much for me , after my ordeal I have no backup seeds to grow thanks to my brother but I look forward to seeing more of your videos
I like the videos and thanks for sharing. I have two questions... Once seeds are planted in a container and that container is covered with plastic to retain the moisture... do we need to spray the water once in a while or just leave as it is till seed germinates? The second question is... once germinated seeds is moved to it's own container (those red plastic cups) how to water those plants, just spray or fill the bottom of other cup with round base or a pebble inside?
i live in iowa, its still pretty cold. when should i begin growing my peppers if im planning on leaving them on my window for light? i am afraid they wont get enough light because it is pretty cloudy still.
i am very enjoy watch your tutorial and i want do like what you do to my plants, i want to ask you some question about the double cup method, i want to grow habanero, carolina reaper, lemon drop, mustard trinidad scorpion 1. how long you put the zip lock to the plant?? 2. in the bottom cup, what you What you give, a hydroponic nutrition or water? 3. is the kratky method is suitable to grow outside and for the pepper, because i want to tray that method because its simple thanks for your attention, i am waiting your answer
Great video! Maybe this was covered in a previous video, but are you storing these seeds with part of the pepper? Is it ok to remove them and store or is there some trade secret with storing with the pepper?
I usually remove the seeds from the pepper, then allow them to dry for a week, then store inside small ziploc bags used for coins. They will last this way for 2 season or even longer.
Why don't you use 3 cups? For the middle one, cut off the bottom completely leaving it open, so that would add a few centimetres in height to your pot, with minimal extra cost.
Should I add water to the bottom cup at the start,? Or just spray the top of the soil then when they start to grow the roots then add water to the bottom cups etc.?
Hi there Khang! A month ago I planted some jalapeño seeds. There were approximately 40 seeds in total, some of them I took from a few jalapeños I bought at the market and some from a garden store where I bought them in an little packet. NONE OF THEM SPROUTED. What did I do wrong? I thought of the soil I used but I planted some basil, cilantro and tomato using the same soil and they all sprouted beautifully. Conditions were the same for all seeds. I even left some seeds planted in my mom's house where climate it's colder (21-24ºC) than where I live (26-30ºC) and again, only the basil, cilantro and tomato sprouted. Second question is: do pepper plants grow, bear fruits and then die? Sorry for my English and thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me. Love your videos!
Bryan Orea Try to take a mature Jalapeno, and let it sit at room temperature until it turns completely red. Take the seeds out of the red fruit and allow the seeds to dry for a week, then plant those. They will sprout. Here's a video ua-cam.com/video/uBCkuLuF1wM/v-deo.html
Hi there, begginer here: Ive done the some method but i puncture some holes at the top in order to allow air circulation? Is it ok or should i keep the top fully sealed? Much thanks!
he generally doesn't reply, i've asked questions and gotten nothing, from my gardening experience keep the top covered and keep it nice and warm until your plant sprouts once you see the first set of leaves breach take the covering off because the plant will need a circulation of oxygen.
Hi and thank you for your great videos. Actually, i'm growing peppers after watching your videos. I hope if you could help me as I have reached to a big big problem. After growing my pepper to this stage( little big leaves) I put them in front of my window which is southern and their leaves are getting shriveld day by day. It seemes that they are too weak to this heat. What should I do about it my friend?
What kind of hydroponic nutrients did you use and how did you mix them? Can you make a video on how to use them for my peppers. I am trying to follow using the double cup method like you did on your 2017 in episode 2
I just wanted to let you know that YOU are my hero!!! I keep watching your videos over and over to build confidence. This is the 1st year I have ever grown hot peppers from seed and I am so excited!!! I have obviously started a little late but next year I will start early.

How long did it take to germinate and how often did you water the seedling ?
@@tkcoolz18 10-20 days
Mist spray every few days

Cool! Thanks for the tips! We love growing peppers from seed!
i was just thinking about try to plant peppers,then found this video,thank you thank you!
Looking good, I'm planning on using this method for this year. Going to make a seedling shelf with fluorescent shop lights hung above on a timer.

I have a feeling that I will end up with way more plants than I have room for, I'll just have to give some away I think!
You can put something like gravel in the outer cup to make a bigger gap between them.
Started mine mid November in north Texas, gotta start early for a good harvest here!
What I do is put 2 pebbles of lava rock in the bottom cup to keep the top cup off the bottom and give enough room to pour some nutrients.
You got new subscribe, Im watching your vids lately. I'm new in growing pepper, got my self 30 plants already, 60 seeds 7 days ago, will plant 60 more in 7-8 days.

greetings from Serbia @Khang Starr
Got any tips? I've grown seeds before but this is my first time growing a large variety of super hots
Tried some ground cherries that were growing naturally this year while exploring mexico and they were very yummy
If you're not gentle with the seedling, you can crush the stem. I heard that grabbing the leaf is better then handling the stem.
I've seen a few of your videos and enjoyed them all. Just subscribed, keep up the awesome content
Recognized the bowl noodle bowl right away. Great vid 👍
Thanks a lot Khang Starr !!!
This video is informative and inspiring too...

I have some shorter containers for nuts and stuff. It's already April this year, I guess I should just plant outside?
You could cut a top of another cup and put it in between the two cups to get more space
A few variations from what I do but it works well for me. I truely wish I could get some of your seed, you have some very interesting varients and crosses. We do fertilize the same way tho.
Make sure the cup plastic has 5 pp at the bottom because if not the pastic would release harmfull chemicals into the soil that affects the plants
I used your method this year. Just started a couple of days ago.
Just to let everyone know... at most Lowes you can get free pots in most sizes. they save them for their customers. so far, this is true for Georgia and Illinois. its a money saver all around.

great....as always. enjoyed watching this 😆

Very cool I've started growing for 2017 as well😃
Great video and easy to follow thanks
Amazing video. I really enjoyed how you gave a complete instructional video. But, I was wondering if I can grow ghost peppers in Southern California?
what is up Khang ? long time no speak bro , glad to see you are still in the pepper game. not so much for me , after my ordeal I have no backup seeds to grow thanks to my brother but I look forward to seeing more of your videos
Thanks for sharing ive just got everything planted myself
Thank you for this GREAT video! I got a few answers from it.
These seed we eat every day in our coking I have 150 bottles, of seed herbs in my kitchen 🇨🇦👍!
IMO plants this young don't need any ferts. But you did use some dry pellets, but really why risk nute burn when the compost is more than enough.
Happy New Year 2020 🎉🎉🎉Thanks for info. 🌼🌺🌸
I like the videos and thanks for sharing. I have two questions... Once seeds are planted in a container and that container is covered with plastic to retain the moisture... do we need to spray the water once in a while or just leave as it is till seed germinates?
The second question is... once germinated seeds is moved to it's own container (those red plastic cups) how to water those plants, just spray or fill the bottom of other cup with round base or a pebble inside?
you getting started early
I got the bugs and couldn't wait lol
Khang Starr hehe! that means I got to get on it
We always start ours Dec 26th, I am running late this year and started on the 5th of January.
i live in iowa, its still pretty cold. when should i begin growing my peppers if im planning on leaving them on my window for light? i am afraid they wont get enough light because it is pretty cloudy still.
***** Window sill would not be enough. They need lots of good lights.
How often should you apply the fertilizer?
Great Khang, thanks bro.
I am trying to crossbreed peppers this year, never know maybe I'll end up with the next new thing :D
i am very enjoy watch your tutorial and i want do like what you do to my plants, i want to ask you some question about the double cup method, i want to grow habanero, carolina reaper, lemon drop, mustard trinidad scorpion
1. how long you put the zip lock to the plant??
2. in the bottom cup, what you What you give, a hydroponic nutrition or water?
3. is the kratky method is suitable to grow outside and for the pepper, because i want to tray that method because its simple
thanks for your attention, i am waiting your answer
Rubber band might work to keep your solo cup raised for a larger reservoir?
Great idea!
You ever use any of the fox farm soils? They're expensive but very good.
Wowwww Beautiful Thank you 👍🏼
Do you ever take off the bags to fan out the cups?
Do you soak your Pepper Seed overnight,? Or do you just plant them Dry into the Soil.? Thanks for sharing good Info etc.
Yes. Soak in warm water 40 to 60 celcius for 8 hour. You can see a little root popping
Thanks for sharing videos, any extra seeds, want to start growing peppers. I did a lemon cutting and its growing.
starting in mid feb. hopefully not to late
i love ur voice
Great video! Maybe this was covered in a previous video, but are you storing these seeds with part of the pepper? Is it ok to remove them and store or is there some trade secret with storing with the pepper?
I usually remove the seeds from the pepper, then allow them to dry for a week, then store inside small ziploc bags used for coins. They will last this way for 2 season or even longer.
Why don't you use 3 cups? For the middle one, cut off the bottom completely leaving it open, so that would add a few centimetres in height to your pot, with minimal extra cost.
Should I add water to the bottom cup at the start,? Or just spray the top of the soil then when they start to grow the roots then add water to the bottom cups etc.?
Happy 2017 everyone 🎇🎆🎄🧨🎆✨🎈🎉🎊🎆
Hi there Khang! A month ago I planted some jalapeño seeds. There were approximately 40 seeds in total, some of them I took from a few jalapeños I bought at the market and some from a garden store where I bought them in an little packet. NONE OF THEM SPROUTED. What did I do wrong? I thought of the soil I used but I planted some basil, cilantro and tomato using the same soil and they all sprouted beautifully. Conditions were the same for all seeds. I even left some seeds planted in my mom's house where climate it's colder (21-24ºC) than where I live (26-30ºC) and again, only the basil, cilantro and tomato sprouted. Second question is: do pepper plants grow, bear fruits and then die? Sorry for my English and thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me. Love your videos!
Did you take seeds from a Red Jalapeno or green? Peppers do not like after they bear fruits, many varieties can live up to 3-4 years.
I took them from a green jalapeño. The rest of the seeds I took them from the packet I bought at the gardening store.
Bryan Orea Try to take a mature Jalapeno, and let it sit at room temperature until it turns completely red. Take the seeds out of the red fruit and allow the seeds to dry for a week, then plant those. They will sprout. Here's a video ua-cam.com/video/uBCkuLuF1wM/v-deo.html
Khang Starr. Roger that. I'll do it and tell you the results. Thanks for the help Khang!
use a penny to make the cup stand up so theres more room for roots
What type of Ground cherry do you have? got very interested when you talked about it, but noticed on the web that there are alot of types.
I ended up ordering Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry, Physalis pruinosa.
Hi there, begginer here:
Ive done the some method but i puncture some holes at the top in order to allow air circulation? Is it ok or should i keep the top fully sealed?
Much thanks!
he generally doesn't reply, i've asked questions and gotten nothing, from my gardening experience keep the top covered and keep it nice and warm until your plant sprouts once you see the first set of leaves breach take the covering off because the plant will need a circulation of oxygen.
Hi mine name is Susan Aikman
I am planting my own peppers.

I live Mtl Canada can I grow hot peppers anytime during the year.?
Also how can I keep a pepper plant for?
Hi and thank you for your great videos. Actually, i'm growing peppers after watching your videos. I hope if you could help me as I have reached to a big big problem. After growing my pepper to this stage( little big leaves) I put them in front of my window which is southern and their leaves are getting shriveld day by day. It seemes that they are too weak to this heat. What should I do about it my friend?
Shoot. I wish I would have found your channel earlier. My peppers are going to be a tangled mess to separate. 😿
Great video! Do you add additional water while seeds are germinating?
keep on making the good videos
Thanks Again..for the Informative Video.. Great Info for Beginners.. How long do you keep the Seedlings in the Cups thou?
What kind of hydroponic nutrients did you use and how did you mix them? Can you make a video on how to use them for my peppers. I am trying to follow using the double cup method like you did on your 2017 in episode 2
