- I got into the polytunnel and finally finshed up the irrigation setup. I also planted a couple of the leftover hydro plants into the raised beds in the polytunnel. Now lets hope for the weather to start getting a lot warmer!

Great work! Keen too see the differences between the hydroponics and polytunnel plants.
Just a tip for cutting pipes with the tool at 1:40, If you just press so the tool is contacting the pipe lightly and than rotate the pipe, it will create a clean cut without deforming the end of the pipe due to the pressure of the tool. (If that explanation makes any sense)
Thanks Maxim...I was just being lazy! I should have done it that way
@@ChilliChump No problem man, we all get lazy sometimes ;)
Love your channel btw, found it only recently when I made my first batch of fermented hot sauce!
Happy that things are going well for you with the peppers, the polytunnel and the new irrigation system :)
Thank you Linas. Time will tell, but things are looking pretty good at the moment!
I only got introduced to your channel about a week ago and I'm already up to about 10 videos, i think i'll gradually see all of them! Your videos-concept, presentation, music, cutaways, everything is just SO professional, it's disgustingly high quality. From comments on other videos it sounds like your subscriber numbers are currently growing exponentially i.e. BOOMING. Well done man! I'm a chilli head but I've always been a passive enjoyer of chilli - i have always just bought pre-made chilli products and never actually made anything of mine. I'm so inspired by your videos right now! I'm going to make your chilli ketchup recipe soon, and I can't wait!
Thank you, that is very kind of you to say! I am always trying to improve. I don't always get it right, but as long as I make even a small improvement each time then I am happy!
@@ChilliChumpIt absolutely shows in the quality of the videos, and i think what really shines through is your passion for chilli and just how much fun you're having in the process - you can really see that the cameras are just another facet of your chilli adventures, and that there's not even the slightest doubt you'd still be doing all this even without youtube. For us viewers it feels like we're getting a little peak in to your world of chilli and it's just so enjoyable to be apart of that, so, thank you! It also cracks me up in a good way when I read other comments saying they don't even like chilli but they still love watching your videos, haha! I hope that alone makes you feel good.
Must be a relief knowing it’s all working well ❤️
It's an absolute delight to view your channel, very organised and professional. There is a chilli god after all ! :) :) :)
Lol, thank you Thomas. 😊
Great video. Awesome content on your channel.
Just planted my own peppers again, cant wait for them to start growing:D You inspired me to start again, thanks!
Spotted some GHE nutrions, nice choice! Been using it myself aswell. Works like magic!
Thats exactly what I need to set up in my tunnel here matey. would make life so much easier. when you coming to do it ;)
Nice setup, really learning a lot from your channel.
Great video, makes me wish I had a bigger backyard! Pepper season in Florida, USA is a little different that yours I do believe!
I can imagine, your season must be quite a bit longer than ours! At the moment we are panicking about the temperatures going below freezing while our plants are outdoors.
@@ChilliChump We're already hitting days in the 90's here and the peppers love it! I've just now started to get a bit more serious about my garden, but I had plants (very poorly attended plants) that produced peppers throughout most of the year last year.
I'm jealous! The weather is the biggest challenge in the UK!
Nice setup, I still have some snow on the ground so no hope of planting anything outside yet.
7:10 Hey that's my hand! I'm youtube famous!
Fun fact: I ate that chili in the pic, yesterday. chopped it up and added it to some fried rice.
Lmao...I was thinking of mentioning names of my Patreons...but I don't want to breach your privacy!
@@ChilliChumpMuch appreciated but i dont mind
PEPPERS, PEPPERS AND MORE PEPPERS! my goal this year! So i'll be watching ya ALOT Plus tomato' s 😎 Hydra grow is very Expensive! > The pellets cost a bundle Then the pumps, light , electricity, and things VERY VERY COSTLY! I do germinate my seeds indoors, until there about a foot tall! So its out doors in raise beds or pots in soil for me!
I got an aero garden for Christmas and now got some ripe tomatoes.
They OK not very sweet but I was not surprised. I read that hydroponics is gr8 for starting seeds but best to transplant into the soil.
So will be very interested in how yours turn out?
Dose it affect the flavour and heat? 🤔 Please do an experiment on that. All the best
Hi Aron, I have a couple plants that are the same variety in both hydro and soil, because I am also interested to see what the difference in taste will be. If the flavour isn't as good in hydro, then I will stick to soil
Sorry meant to say with chilli's
really enjoying all of your videos. I was wondering if this type of irrigation would work well at low pressure? I have a large poly tunnel and the temperatures during the summer regularly get into the high 30s, how have you found growing in a poly tunnel compared to your greenhouse? thanks again for the videos!
The flow rate is probably more important than pressure. In the polytunnel I have 50 drippers at about 8l per hour. So that is about 6.6 litres per minute for all 50. As long as you have a pump (or gravity system) that can provide that volume of water then you should be fine. Pressure plays a part too of course...you want to have around 25/30 PSI.
I noticed that you not really using soil. What did you plant the Naga in? Great video buddy.
I don't use soil at all...it is all compost. Although with the raised beds, it will be a new challenge next year keeping them nutrient rich.
Have you tried removing the root bound hydro pots under water? Whenever I'm untangling roots from small plants, I find that letting the roots swim helps keep them from sticking to each other. Maybe it'll help you work them out of the pots?
First again! Also, thanks for showing how to get the roots out of the net cups, I was wondering about that
I’m first, I’m first! Loser
@@timl7217 well when it's a bit of a competition between me and another subscriber yes I will say first. No need for the sass
@Paul Curtis sounds like a fun competition!
Where to buy that polytunnel?
Nice your polytunnel looking great ;)
Me I grow "Peter Peppers" now.
How is your foot, it's still alive and kicking?
I tried growing those before...never got one that looked like...well, you know!
Foot is much better....not kicking much just yet, but I'm just happy not to be limping anymore!
@@ChilliChump I’m glad you’re feeling better now ;)
What's the temperature in your greenhouse like atm Shawn? Fixed mine up yesterday from storm damage and it was about 40 degrees which really suprised me. Might get the plants out the grow tent sooner rather than later.
Hey Adam. The greenhouse is holding temperatures a little higher than the polytunnel at the moment at night. And a few degrees higher than outside. Seeing it at around 2-5 Celsius at night in the greenhouse. Around 0-4 Celsius in the polytunnel at night. Up in the 30's during the day though
@@ChilliChump thanks mate. Just had an absolute disaster with my tomato plants over the weekend. They didn't like the greenhouse one bit. Bit worried about putting the chillies out there now. Yours still doing OK?
The plants in the polytunnel look a little sorry for themselves. But I'm sure with the warmer weather coming in they should recover!
really cheaper just buy them at the grocery store now the stake are getting so high so is round rod potting soil ect : ( Tired of hunt to make things cheaper Like bamboo stakes, rubar, round bar, than tomato stakes NOT NO MORE Now it string and post stakes! ONLY THING I CAN SAY RUBAR, ROUND BAR, TEE POST, WILL LAST FOR EVER
As an old South-African can you speak some Afrikaans and if you can, will you give us a phrase?
Lol sure...although I'm sure I will make some proper afrikaaners laugh with my pronounciations!
