My first attempt to grow Hot Peppers...

[jmsieglaff]

Yeah you'll have plenty of time, my peppers are either just poking through or still awaiting germination, so I'll have to wait for next year aside from this experiment plant. I'll post a picture once I get them on the computer.

[Dork Fish]

phew. If not, I have plenty of others that I did not cut.

a pic sounds good.

Wow, you're way ahead of me. You're gonna have MONSTERS in 2 months!

Here's my experiment pepper plant with the side branches developing at the ★★★★★★★★ of the main stem and leaves--forgive my crappy camera.

Awesome! Im curious how mine turns out.

Question... I am using Alaska Fish Emulsion. How much and how often are you guys administering it?

[Dork Fish]

Okay, I might have planted my pepper seeds just a little too early! I am running out of room. I still have two months to go. Soooo, I decided to make a drastic decision...

Ooh these little guys will come back with a vengeance though they didn't look too big to me in the above pic. Peppers can take almost anything, it is really really hard to kill one <3

[Dork Fish]

I hope so! They were getting tall. I have two shelves and height room was getting scarce. Plus I have two more months of growth to accomodate.

I started some super hots back in October then the hots in February. Have kept repotting as needed and feeding kelp fish emulsion only once. Just keep putting any where I can find some light. Have started hardening off when weather permits.

[Dork Fish]

I would love a break in our weather so I could start hardening off

The plants look great have you ever tried compost tea. I use it on my superhots and i can definitely see a difference i color and vigor

[Smithma]

I will use active compost & worm casting tea once there planted out, use as a soak once a month and as foliar spray in between soakings. Some more hots & super hots.
