Specializing in hot peppers

I’ve found bottom heat really helps with my germination rates. I use a thrift store heating pad under a flat with a grided flat on top of that, which holds the seeded cells. I keep some water in the bottom flat, and use a dome. A rack of screw-in leds keeps them going later.

I’ll bet your peppers come thru just fine!

I use my internet modem laid on its side with a thick plate lol. I put the seeds in a zip lock and paper towel and it pretty much heats it perfectly!

Pretty good germ rates on all these, probably prick them out next weekend and go to small solos.

I will admit, I have been tempted by those haha. But the smallest I actually use are the 9oz clear cups.

I use them just for seedlings and they are great, just dry out quickly. Poke a hole in the bottom and done. I’ll up-pot them soon enough.

Update on my sick plant: shes kicking ass now… is there a point i should clip the flowers so it can focus on ripening the existing peppers? Or just let it go wild making new ones everyday

My vote goes to let it go wild.

Let it go wild, you can pull a couple kilos of hot peppers off of one plant. I got 300 jalapenos on mine.

Wow!! What a cool and informative thread. I’m new here and stumbled upon this. Some beautiful plants and peppers in here. As much as I like peppers, I’m not sure this isn’t as interesting as what I joined this site for :laughing:
Anyway, thank you to all who contribute, I will pop in from time to time and check things out! After looking through here and reading all of this expertise, I will not be sharing my attempts at growing peppers, lol. Not yet anyway.

Cheers :tumbler_glass:

I think it took a couple of months! The longest part of the peppers life is reaching maturity, and after that it’s all productivity! Once those flowers start to pop off, the peppers just keep forming and the plant grows larger. Eventually it took over the entire room, so I had to start cutting it back.
