Wait are we the pepper geeks? Or are you the pepper geeks?

OMG! This video was such perfect timing!! My pepper seedlings are the same size as yours. I am in Texas and we just went through an EXTREME freeze. My seedlings were still inside under growlights, but with no electricity, they had no heat or light source. Thank God they survived.

How often should I be feeding them?

Thanks

Super good video. Quick and to the point and one of the best ive ever seen on these topics. Good job. Wish i had this vid back when i started my pepper grows.

Last couple of years have come to count on all my seeds sprouting (2, 3 per cell) for peppers and tomatoes to get the number of plants i need. Easy to pop the block from the cell swish the soil off in water untangle the roots and plant up to individual pots. Before it hurt to eliminate all those sprouted plants as well as half of the sometimes expensive seed.

Why have I just now found this channel?! 🙏🏽 🤩

I have them growing with my cannabis plants. Gives them some company. Lol. Scorpion Pepper.

I use Neptune's Harvest as well but just go straight to full strength indoor dosage as soon as they sprout. You really can't screw up with that stuff though, pepper plants just love it.

I have germaneted about 20 in one little pot oops, I didn't think that many would germinate, all I did was used miracle grow compost added my seed then put a wet folded kitchen paper over he top then some cling film, it only too 7days on a south facing window and now I have alot in the same pot, I'm a beginner so didn't really think before sewing, what should I do as some are very close together but they are only at the stage where there popping out the soil some are slightly bigger than others. Help appreciated ty.

Ive just notice tiny pin holes in my hot pepper leaves...I dont see anything on them...is this the beginning of a bug infection?

My serranos just started, just waiting for my jalapeños and Thai hots.

Hi Peppergeeks, from Australia.
thanks for your videos, it's been fun watching.
I have a question, I think using the humidity dome keeps the chili plants really charging along nicely.
I would like to know what kind of humidity you try to maintain in the domes? I can't keep the humidity down, I think I need to cut bigger holes in the dome to allow it to drop below 95% humidity?
What are your thoughts on this?
Kind regards,
Beau

Great video, I look forward to more tips from you!

Amazon links, make a little money on a side hustle. Neptunes Harvest fertilizer, supplies you use, do reviews. Thanks for sharing.

[silviavillon]

WOW.. you are guys are very thorough! I have read many How-to's and nothing was more informative like this video and the starter one! Thanks so much for sharing!

I set up my Philips Hue lightstrip for grow light, that I basically taped to the inside of the humidity dome. Whats nice is that you can decide what kind of color you want, in terms of using a red or blueish white. And, you can easally set how bright you want the light to be, from completely dimmed to full sunlight.
I'm playing around with this now to see where my plants likes it. So far, no issues.
