@@syealie09 Nope! These plants were only planted out 3 months before this video was filmed. And only started from seed 4 weeks prior to that. Total age of plants from seed was 4 months.

@@PepperGuru must have a green thumb then. Keep up the good work.

@ thanks for watching!

@@andree_nakita Yes. Stu Smith is a serious Pepper Guru and he’s getting monsters in both Revelstoke and now Cawston. While I researched for this part of the video, I noted that most major Canadian cities actually did have between 2.5 and 3 months of average temps above 65F during the year. It’s important however to note, that if your season is shorter, there are other ways to provide these conditions. While it may take some imagination, ingenuity or constructing some type of poly tunnel, you can certainly extend the possibility of providing these conditions wherever you live. It just might not be in the exposed outdoors. The point is, if you meet these requirements, you can get plants like this in this amount of time.

@@Grrrnthumb I used to think you were right. Unfortunately/fortunately this video proved both of us wrong. ❤️ Thank you for watching. I can tell you and I are a lot alike. Thank you 🙏 More to come. Stick around. You might like the next stuff even more. Just out of curiosity, have you watched my previous content, or just this video?

​@@PepperGuru Only 200K views for content this great?? Sorry no, didn't prove that at all. Not knocking you, just saying you're way underestimating your massive potential. Consider for instance the success of some similar creators like that tomato guy who gets many millions of views on almost every video, why? Because he has the same blow-you-away results paired with good quality video, that in just a glance anyone can see he is obviously one the top master gurus anywhere with his plant. Yours is the same. You don't need to convince us with words and reasons why you're great and why we should listen to your plant advice and not others. It's already obvious to everyone. TH-cam teaches creators how important it is to stay focused and get right to the core content and hack away all the extra stuff, but few listen except for the top creators. I did watch one other of yours, but I like I said it gets really tiresome with the extra stuff, otherwise I would be devouring your channel. I do appreciate you, and thank you!

@ Thanks for your feedback!

These fundamentals can be applied to all five domesticated species and most of the cultivars within each species too. It's up to you and the specific cultivar you plant to grow in regards to just how big of a container you use. My jalapenos and bells can devour 30 gallons of medium in a short season, but I wouldn't put something like say a mutant or dwarf cultivar in 30 gallons. For most of the smaller dwarf trait cultivars 15 gallons are plenty.

@ when you say domesticated species and cultivars, what are the names of those? It sounds like jalapeño and bell peppers will grow a lot of fruit in a 30 gallon grow bag which is what I want.

@@joshuamcclam994 I list all five of the domesticated species in the very beginning of the video. The Capsicum genus has 45+ known species. Only five of them are domesticated and spread around the world for culinary uses. Out of those five species, there are billions of cultivars, with new hybrids being made everyday.

I'll be there in March! ♥

@@CH-hm8ud Peppers evolved in South America with even harsher sun than Florida. It’s all about how all the fundamentals I’ve shared here combine with one another. If you’re not meeting on of them, you may experience some issues.

@ I learn a trick from a nursery, they had gorgeous beautiful bell peppers directly in dirt, by begging of December, we chat about it and it’s working for me. There’s certain kinds they just don’t grow in here. But I hear your video, I think it’s really good. Good luck. 🍀

@@CH-hm8ud I grew up in Florida. I know that Sun, and I know that heat. Which is likely more so the issue. Temperatures above what I share here are going to be tough for Capsicum to keep actively setting flowers and fruit. Which is why one of the fundamentals is Temperatures between 65-95F. Sometimes you have to get imaginative to mitigate your region's conditions. You may want to try incorporating some 30% Shade cloth and mid day misting on timers. It can help bring those temperatures back down to below 95F during mid day. Keep us posted!

@@nickcostello4180 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I always love hearing that one! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤖🦾🦿

Absolutely. Here's a video showing some of that process, along with any other plant materials we have. th-cam.com/video/jaa4e-EIvlQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U8ooMZDGhlo78U6H

What's more important than water ph, is soil or medium ph, which you want to be around 6.2-6.5 - Now it will be up to you to determine your water source's ph, then what that ph is when your nutrient is added and how that affects the soil ph. Generally the proper amount of fertilizer added to your water will make the solution slightly more acidic. I would only recommend worrying about ph if you notice issues. Worrying about ph is sort of putting the cart before the horse. Because when everything is right, the ph is right.

@@PepperGuru I appreciate your reply. I'm in zone 8b and will be growing at least 140 plants this year. Super Hots and Sweet peppers. My end goal is a fermented produce company specializing in fermented salsa. Later when I have the land and greenhouses to do it, I would like to stabilize pepper varieties and get into seeds. Hope your season is a great one.

@ Good luck on your journey! Keep me posted!

@@joparsons20 Yes. Even bell type peppers can get very large!

@@soundbwoikilla764 Nice! Check the video I point to at the end, I think you’ll enjoy it while I work on a more detailed, narrated rendition!

@@Pernit Thanks for stopping by! Welcome aboard. Yes, I have a few shorter videos demonstrating this but you’re absolutely right and that’s a great idea for future videos! I’m on it.

@@naturbursche6878 These are only 15 gallon containers.

Nope! Only 3-4 months old from seed in these videos.

@@Sofi_CraftsandMore35 Never. Everything you prune could’ve been peppers. That’s a hard one for people to overcome because they’ve been told repeatedly to “remove this because the plant can’t sustain it” when they should be of the mind that “let me provide the plant with more of what it needs so it can sustain this”

Low and slow makes em even fruitier!

Thanks! Glad you dig it!

Yep! See the video I point to at the end!

@ lol. Right when I hit send that came up. Will green peppers and or aji peppers?

@@expresswayrecords7306 All peppers! All five domesticated species.

@@PepperGuru I had a typo. I meant to say grow big as trees? Thanks

@@expresswayrecords7306 there will be some cultivars that have a naturally shorter, more compact growth habit and therefore don’t necessarily need something as large as a 100 gallon container, but these principles should be applied to all the type of peppers you grow. Within context of the cultivar.

@@AaronWoodring correct. Just like in nature, there is always a diluted, highly available nutrient content in each watering session.

@@80Arrieta If it’s all you can find, it’s better than peat! Depends on the constituents therein!

@@EmotoOregon Not impossible. Challenging? Absolutely. Impossible? Never. Keep your head up, and get out of that paradigm. You got this. It will take some imagination and ingenuity, but it’s very very possible.

@@serialgriller5779 You’ll have to do a little digging 😎 thanks for watching!

Pro tip for you to try this year: sow a new, first year C pubescens variety of your choosing. Then simply plant it in a much larger pot. If you get more peppers sooner, more abundantly, and less flower drop due to heat stress, you owe me a box! 😎

@@PepperGuru My "pot" include 100 gallon horse troughs and 9x13 raised bed. I live where temperatures can exceed 110F and routinely over 100F. Currently have citrus blooming and fruit setting even though nights get to freezing. I do not have a typical environment.

@@mutantryeff for super high temps like yours, try mid day misting under 30% shade, with giant root zone masses. Gonna be tough to set flowers above 100f

@@PepperGuru I've lived in this environment for 50+ years. It is all manageable. Filtered shade from huge oaks and shade clothes. Automatic sprinklers. I've had Pubescens that looked more like trees given the size of the trunk and vines.

Maybe we did and just aren't showing ya that part! Besides, we were tired of picking by the time this late first frost rolled around. We are always done long before the plants are. Our motto is, Less plants, bigger plants, more peppers. 💪

glad you enjoyed it!

@@novantium3760 Let us know how it goes!

@@phildg4266 Thanks, but somehow I don’t think this comment will hit as hard as Khang’s 🤣

That, and the ever present nutrient input. This genus can EAT.

@@DavidH-u3o Some things are best explained for what they are. Now your propensity to act upon those explanations, well, that, that is the real feat eh? 😂

@@PepperGuru thanks for the good vibes man. I'm looking forward to trying out your width capacity in a truck tire we have in our back yard! Luckily we got some of that caging you using from the las time we had chickens around here. How fortunate you are to get to travel the way you do! Laterz man.

@@DavidH-u3o Very grateful. A childhood dream come true ❤️

@ One more thing. When I asked people for 'humus compost' around here that looked at me like I was two chops short of a bbq! Do you have a video giving some in-depth description of this compost, alternatives and maybe other names that they call it? Warm regards man...

@@DavidH-u3o try just asking for "finished" compost. Humus is just a term for properly finished compost. The issue you run into there is other people's definition of "compost" and then "finished". Suffice it to say, if you go out into the forest or a wooded area, find the largest tree or plant you can find, then scrape away the top layer of mulch and debris, revealing the black, earthy goodness below, THAT is humus compost. The finished product of time, microbes and once living material. It makes the best growing medium. Structure, nutrient availability, enzymes and the entire soil food web at work. If you can find compost available in your area that even comes close to that look, feel, smell and makeup of that, you're doing better than a lot of people. The good news is, it's easy to make. I will be doing future videos on that for sure.

@@paulkelly5755 These fundamentals can be applied to all five domesticated species of Capsicum, and any of the cultivars within each species.

Thanks!

@@paulkelly5755 Now, that's not to say there aren't cultivars whose genetics simply produce a smaller structure and growth habit, but these principles can be applied to them as well to get the very most out of them that you can.

@@jarodamusprime8048 Get it together! You got this! Greenhouse growing is the same as non greenhouse growing, as far as the principle pepper growing fundamentals go. In a greenhouse you just get more season!

Absolutely! The Dorset Naga is a true powerhouse of a plant. It's amazing to see how it grows! A lot like Bhut Jolokia.

I would air on the side of dilution first to monitor how the plants deal with it, as each container, soil, plant etc can be different and introduce so many variables. The rule of thumb will be slow increasing dosage as the season goes on.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Working on more content for you all now buddy.

@@caewalker9276 🤣🤣🤣

@@kuredumas7164 yes! Shade cloth and mid day misting can help bring that ambient temperature down enough to keep your flowers from dropping. Try it and report back!

@@johannforbes3252 glad you get it, and yes, I promise to find that balance and keep bringing you content that is valuable ❤️

@@Rudy32225 Capsicum and Piper are two different genera. You likely had a rogue Piper seed in the container or bed.

@@d4n166 Nice! Yeah, the pizza powder really kicks it up a notch!

@@monteroisaac Nice! Welcome aboard!

@@temujingarcia3226 Thank you! 🙏

@@ginaabed6019 Brand doesn’t matter so long as it has good moisture to air retaining properties, allows the roots to shoot through it quickly, and you keep it properly fertilized. You should be indoor no longer than the 30 days I demonstrated here. That Timelapse was actually only 15 days. Each time you see the plants jump, that’s one day.

@@76spartano Thanks! Be sure to get yours so you can grow along with us!
