Hi rob! I was wondering if you thought about doing a single video for the beginner pepper grower - Kind of a start to finish/checklist type of video of just the absolute basics. Starting with seed to germinating, when to fertilize, compost, fertilize, prune etc. Trying to find all this information and get it together is so confusing and overwhelming without all the expert details also taking over. It’s hard to find a video that is detailed, focused, and succinct for the beginner so they know what to expect. Thanks! Love your videos.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Callan Ezequiel thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Excellent and thank you. My son bought me about 10 types of hot peppers seeds. I had no idea what i was going to do. I was thinking throwing them next to my tomato plants. Now, i have an actual plan. Appreciated. And thanks for the Amazon links. For about 50 dollars, i will be in business! :)
Very helpful video! I am just getting into growing my own hot peppers as the habaneros sold at my local food markets no longer suffice for my salsa and slow cooker recipes. I am definitely going to try and using some of these methods! Thank you
Great video! Very well done and optimized for audience retention. Recently I was given a package of hot pepper seeds and I poured them all into a solo cup and the started to sprout, I then separated them and put them into a bigger pot, and now I’ve transplanted them into a garden bed 👍👊
I had 4 to sprout and grow strong this year, first time growing hot peppers.. they're in my greenhouse with some other varieties that i'm also new to growing. I've learned some things that I think will help me next year to get a better yield but i'm pretty happy with progress so far
Very nice. That's a pretty efficient/effective way to keep track of multiple kinds of plants! Just starting to plant some of my own pepper plants and have been checking out a lot of people's videos for different perspectives and techniques. Very good video!
I love how any one of those seeds if ingested could make a grown man curl up on the ground for milk lol. Maybe that’s an exaggeration but still, very hot peppers.
I found you on Facebook new friend rang your bell as well I look forward to learning thank you 🙏🏻🌶 with having lupus I grow my own food and can’t return to work so I’m looking forward to my new pepper hobby
Rob you are an awesome dude!! 7pots are my favorite as well! Originally it was the smokey taste of the 007 7pots I got from Townsend but now I have developed asort of cult mentality love for 7 pot peppers 😄
This winter was pathetic this year for MN except for all those crashes last Saturday of December. Still leaves me restless to grow and try peppers I can't find in the store. 7 pot douglah, fatali, scotch brain strain, and peach ghost.
I love the way you are super organized in planting your seeds! Since you are obviously a hot pepper expert I would welcome your advice on choosing a variety that I would like. I really find hot peppers too hot! I would like to grow a pepper with less heat. Any suggestions on the variety I should choose. Thanks!
integrated circuits use a dot or a divot to indicate front. then you always count one way or the other (clockwise/counter) so you could mark your tray like a 555 timer chip with a hole punch and then just develop your standard.
Rob, I have watched this video 3 times and a bunch of others. I can’t find the answer, what do you do when two seedlings start to sprout right next to each other. My mistake for putting the seeds so close.
Hi Mark! You basically have two options: Thin them out, or separate the seedlings when you transplant. I demonstrate this in my Transplanting video: th-cam.com/video/Z7o58MYKkec/w-d-xo.html It's at about 4:30
Hi Rob, I'm only in at 4 years ,I started with 6 pepper plants now in 2020 I have 72 verity 'so, how do you water your plants, by hand or drip system. Smokey joe.
Hi Rob 🙂 I found your channel today and I love it (I have been "binge watching" the last few hours 😁). I live in Atlantic Canada so I know all about cold temperatures and snow storms in April 🤨. This year will be my 2nd year growing hot peppers and your videos have answered a lot of my outstanding questions, THANKS! Last year I had my "nursery" in my dinning room and it was a bit messy 🤭 so this year I was planning on moving to the basement which is unfinished, but has heating (we usually keep it between 10 and 15 Celcius (50F and 59F)). Could you please tell me what temperature do you have in your basement? Do you add any moisture? Thanks so much and best regards!
I always start my seeds upstairs where it's at least 70ºF. We have hot water heat, so there are heating pipes running along the ceiling in the basement. It's about 62-67ºF down there all winter, and it's the moistest room in the house. I think you need to be at least in the 60s to grow strong hot pepper seedlings, but YMMV. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
Help, my mom is growing habenero peppers. She planted them a little over a month ago in our backyard. They sprouted and all but they’ve been the same height for nearly a month now (~ 6 inches). How long does it take to grow habenero peppers? I even purchased compost and plant food for my mom.
Currently trying to sprout some 8 year old seeds. 7 pot Jonah, white bhut, yellow 7 pot, and some Thai peppers. Idk if they will sprout but wish me luck. Lol
@@7PotClub my problem with these when I first got them is they naturally have a longer germination time so I never know if I just didn’t wait long enough or if they just didn’t sprout. 😂
I pretty much started growing hot pepler plants this this year (well, late last year, technocally). I don't know the type of hot pepper I'm currently growing. I started my plants from seeds of two fruits I found interesting from the plant. I'm trying myself with selective growing, because I want to achieve specific results I got from them. One of the two had lots of bumps. Hopefully, I get a plant that produces mostly only fruits like it... Then I'll try to push that mutation to its limit. The other one seemed to have tasted a bit sweeter than usual (from a batch that didn't end up hot. The others didn't much specific flavour, but that one was sweeter instead of roughly bitter). Imagine a hot pepper that is also sweet! Sadly, I working on a very small scale of around 9 pots.
i just put 1 variety in a big wide pan, and sprout em, then transfer them into a wider pot when there 6 inches tall Then they go out side in the raise beds some goes into deeper wider pots or planter bags, i put about 8 plants per bag> peppers don't have a massive root system like tomato's ect so 8 works out good I stick with what i grow i don't grow every kind there is > ONLY ones i eat the most, about 5 variety> Next yr only growing 3 varieties! Cayenne, Habanero and Serrano> i got plenty of the others for 2 yrs take to long for Bell peppersl Poblano peppers, and Anaheim Chili peppers to put on way to late > I'll buy them at the store
What an amazing video, once again! And on my b-day to boot :P So how important is that lighting vs just normal room lighting? Is that a crucial step. Currently debating between HIGH roof cover set of 10 (NO LED) and 5 high roof with LED lighting. Which would you go with? I am in Japan and while it isn't as bad as Minnesota, it has your typical seasons...so I assume I should start germination in Feb/March.
Hey there! Quick question...once the humidity dome is on, and there's lots of condensation....how often do I water them? Cuz my domes and soil is wet from all the condensation....i get the feeling I don't need more water. My seedlings are just now sprouting, and I gotta figure out when to water them next :D it's still a rainforest in there
As long as you’re getting condensation on the dome, and the soil is moist, you don’t need to water. Now that your seeds are sprouting, you should be venting the dome, and that will make it dry out faster.
How long does it take your seeds to germinate? I have the majority of my seeds germinated but there’s a few varieties that haven’t yet. Puckerbutt pepper company says some seed can take a month to germinate... is that true?
Ed is right. Some pepper seeds germinate in 4-5 days, while others can take as long as a month. However, a few seeds just don't sprout. Happens to me every year. Good luck!
@@MrJustliketht Most of the time it's completely normal. Sometimes it can be a sign of not enough light. But if your lighting is good, I wouldn't worry about it.
I was born there . Hot pepper are very popular with the Indian populations. When I was a child only Indian eat hot spicy curry. The black never at time eat hot pepper food . How they try it .
Not an expert here, because I've never lived farther south than Indiana! But apparently you can, and you may be able to grow them as perennials. Here's one video I found. th-cam.com/video/WDa_c1ZwV1s/w-d-xo.html
I don't fertilize until the plants are at least 4" tall. Potting mixes usually contain compost or fertilizer so they won't need any for awhile and it might burn them.
Hi Rob, I was wondering what you currently recommend for purchasing some of the rarer pepper seeds. I've heard you talk about seeds you've gotten from semillas la palama in the past, however, it seems like they do not ship to the US currently... any advice for someone who is looking for a source for things like Zebrange or 7pot Chaguanas Yellow that might be hard to find.
I really don't yet have a replacement source for Semillas La Palma. I think there is a way to send payment to their bank account using PayPal, and I'm going to be exploring that soon. Otherwise, this is a pretty good source: www.superhotchiles.com/
Great video bro, didn’t know my country has so many strains of 7pot peppers, I’m currently growing a hybrid scorpion strain not sure of extract name. Regards Shane from Trinidad
H Shane! A lot of the 7 Pot varieties have been developed in recent years by crossing, some by commercial growers and some by hobbyists. I was introduced to Trini cuisine back in the 80s when I played in a Soca/Calypso band here in Minnesota. I finally learned what pepper really meant!
What are your thoughts on adding humic acid to my filtered water in the the spray bottle? Great video, by the way!!! I'll have to check out the AZ-related vids, too.
I don't even save most seeds myself, Xuan. Because my plants are grown so close together, there is a lot of unwanted cross-pollination. I buy most of my seeds here: www.semillas.de/cgi-bin/shop_en/shop.cgi
Hi HAPPY EASTER!!! I planted my hot peppers in the 72 plot trays and I covered it .. i have them out side in the 75 F weather and when I lift the top it is super hot inside the try.. my question is “ is it to hot for them outside?” Should bring them in or are they fine outside in that heat to germinate? Thanks in advance!!
Happy Easter to you, Belinda! I will say upfront that your situation is very different from ours because with our shorter growing season in Minnesota it's not warm enough in late winter or early spring to start the seeds outdoors. I wouldn't leave them in direct sun for very long, as you might actually bake them. You might want to think about bringing them inside until they germinate and you can uncover them. Then you can slowly introduce them to direct sun. Good luck!
Thanks Brad! I don't have much info to go by here. Wrinkled leaves would lead me to think it's a calcium deficiency, but it could be related to not enough light, over or under watering, over or under fertilizing. If you provide some more info on your setup I'll try and provide more specific advice. Feel free to contact me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter where you can upload photos.
@@7PotClub ok thanks for getting back to me I don't use social media but still thank you for your help and your time ps I'm in Australia so I don't think it's from lack of sun most likely over watering it gets dam hot here 👍👍
Can you please help me? why my pepper's leaves keep start yellowish after germinated a week. I used heating mat after it germinated, were the peppers too dry? I took them out from the heat mat now, will it get better? Thank you so much.
Would love to help, but there is so much I don't know here. Have you kept the soil moist? What type of soil are you using?What type of lighting and how many hours a day? The heat mat is not necessarily the problem.
@@7PotClub thank you for your reply. I used Jiffy seed starting mix. And I just added the full spectrum grow lights. I used 2 bulb out of four for my plants, it's 45w each bulb for 6 hours a day. I live in southwest TX. I overwatered and killed one of my ghost pepper and now 4 of my germinated seeds start get yellow and dried out at the outer corner of the first pair of leaves. I learned from my mistake the first time that the soil was dried and I overwatered and it dead, but I didn't think the soil was dry this time. I used the biodegradable non woven nursery bags. Thank you.
I usually run my lights 12-16 hours a day. I always start my seeds in the 6-cell starter trays with a dome covering them. Much easier to keep them moist that way. I transplant into larger pots or bags after they have a couple sets of leaves. A little yellowing on the tips of the leaves is not always a problem. Good luck!
@@7PotClub my bags are very small, each bag must the same side with your 1-cell. The seedling became drier now, and one of the 2 leaves from a seedling fell of. I guess they are dying. I'll leave my light for 12 hours today. How many hours should I leave the dome covered?
If I grow some indoors when they get taller do they still need to be on a heating mat with the light or will putting them next to a sunny spot suffice?
I remove them from the heating mat once they are established. But unless you have a really sunny window, you will still need lighting for good results.
Rob i planted carolina reaper yellow seeds and i got a little sprout but it is not growing big is that becouse it is growing roots and them growing there leafs
Hello, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I have a propogation container similiar to yours, and Ive boughten and just used peat moss seed starter soil in my trays. I'm growing a variety of superhot peppers, and I was wondering how often should I be checking the trays for water, and should I add water under the tray as soon as it is dried up? Thanks :-)
If you have a tight fit on the lid, you shouldn't need to add much water until you start to vent it after the seeds start sprouting. As soon as you have airflow in there, you should check daily. The soil should always be moist. If there is no water in the tray, you should add water immediately. Seeds need a moist environment to sprout. Good luck! 😀🌶
Thanks Grisel! I get most of my pepper seeds from Semillas La Palma (www.semillas.de/shop_en/index.html). Over 700 varieties. I've been buying from them for about a dozen years.
Hey Rob, great video. About 1 week into growing a few different varieties. Some of my seedlings are now taller than the roof of my growing tray and some seeds haven't sprouted yet, should I keep the dome on the tray and wait? I think my Serranos are just super leggy compared to the rest of my peppers. What do I do?
Thanks for watching! If your dome has ventilation, and the seedlings aren't hitting the top of the dome, you should be able to leave it on while you wait for the remaining seeds to germinate. Some seeds take a few days, and some take a few weeks, so be patient. Serrano seedlings can be a little leggy, so that could be normal. Just make sure that you have enough light and that the light is close enough to plants. Good luck!
@@7PotClub The Serranos are definitely much taller! I've got lights on a 16hr cycle. I think I'll leave the lid on for a few more days but maybe I'll prop the lid up on the side with my Serranos so there's a bit less pressure on the seedlings touching the roof!
I live in such a cold climate that I don't know how to advise you. But I think you could follow my instructions even if you plant outside and use natural lights, except that it might be too hot to use the dome over the tray. Good luck!
@@eldiegz83 If you mean you want to plant the seeds in one pot for later transplanting into separate pots, yes. But you shouldn't try to grow multiple pepper plants to maturity in the same pot.
just planted my first seeds ever. Never planted anything in my life. Hoping to get some big ole fruiting habanero plants by the end of the year.
Updates ?

Good choice! Habanero peppers are delicious as well as versatile. Good luck and keep growing.
Hi rob! I was wondering if you thought about doing a single video for the beginner pepper grower - Kind of a start to finish/checklist type of video of just the absolute basics.

I really don't yet have a replacement source for Semillas La Palma. I think there is a way to send payment to their bank account using PayPal, and I'm going to be exploring that soon. Otherwise, this is a pretty good source: www.superhotchiles.com/

Great video bro, didn’t know my country has so many strains of 7pot peppers, I’m currently growing a hybrid scorpion strain not sure of extract name. Regards Shane from Trinidad
H Shane! A lot of the 7 Pot varieties have been developed in recent years by crossing, some by commercial growers and some by hobbyists. I was introduced to Trini cuisine back in the 80s when I played in a Soca/Calypso band here in Minnesota. I finally learned what pepper really meant!
Omg you’re amazing
Scotch brain strain orange is that a good one? I'm trying some out now
Definitely a good one. It's a cross between Orange Scotch Bonnet and 7 Pot Brain Strain.
@@7PotClub I'm just waiting on roots the we are off. Thanks for responding
What are your thoughts on adding humic acid to my filtered water in the the spray bottle? Great video, by the way!!! I'll have to check out the AZ-related vids, too.
Thanks! I've not tried adding humic acid, but sounds like a great idea!
Good stuff, keep it up!
Thanks Brandon!

Hi Rob , I was wondering if you sell some of your peppers seeds? I would love to buy from you ! Your videos are amazing!! Thank you
Hi Xuan! No, I don't sell seeds, but thanks for asking!
7 Pot Club if you’re in a mood for sharing, please can I have some? Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I don't even save most seeds myself, Xuan. Because my plants are grown so close together, there is a lot of unwanted cross-pollination. I buy most of my seeds here: www.semillas.de/cgi-bin/shop_en/shop.cgi
Should I leave some excess water in the bottom of the tray to ensure that the soil doest dry out?
If you can't check every day, that might be a good idea. You just don't want to let the soil get dried out.
Okay thanks! Will it shock them to open the dome and water them?
No, not at all. I take a look at them every day to see if anything is sprouting. I start venting a little as soon as seedlings start to emerge.
Thank you very much for the info, your channel is very informative and entertaining thanks again!
Hi HAPPY EASTER!!! I planted my hot peppers in the 72 plot trays and I covered it .. i have them out side in the 75 F weather and when I lift the top it is super hot inside the try.. my question is “ is it to hot for them outside?” Should bring them in or are they fine outside in that heat to germinate? Thanks in advance!!
Happy Easter to you, Belinda! I will say upfront that your situation is very different from ours because with our shorter growing season in Minnesota it's not warm enough in late winter or early spring to start the seeds outdoors. I wouldn't leave them in direct sun for very long, as you might actually bake them. You might want to think about bringing them inside until they germinate and you can uncover them. Then you can slowly introduce them to direct sun. Good luck!
7 Pot Club eeeek!!! Omg I think i may have baked them.. thanks for the fast response ! Have a great day
seeds to germinate needs to be 70° to 80°f
Is it necessary the heating mat if you have like 25 degrees outside?
That should be warm enough without the mat.
Great video mate I have a problem some of my chilli plants have lots of small wrinkle leaves and drops all it's flowers can you help
Thanks Brad! I don't have much info to go by here. Wrinkled leaves would lead me to think it's a calcium deficiency, but it could be related to not enough light, over or under watering, over or under fertilizing. If you provide some more info on your setup I'll try and provide more specific advice. Feel free to contact me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter where you can upload photos.
@@7PotClub ok thanks for getting back to me I don't use social media but still thank you for your help and your time ps I'm in Australia so I don't think it's from lack of sun most likely over watering it gets dam hot here 👍👍
Can you please help me? why my pepper's leaves keep start yellowish after germinated a week. I used heating mat after it germinated, were the peppers too dry? I took them out from the heat mat now, will it get better? Thank you so much.
Would love to help, but there is so much I don't know here. Have you kept the soil moist? What type of soil are you using?What type of lighting and how many hours a day? The heat mat is not necessarily the problem.
@@7PotClub thank you for your reply. I used Jiffy seed starting mix. And I just added the full spectrum grow lights. I used 2 bulb out of four for my plants, it's 45w each bulb for 6 hours a day. I live in southwest TX. I overwatered and killed one of my ghost pepper and now 4 of my germinated seeds start get yellow and dried out at the outer corner of the first pair of leaves. I learned from my mistake the first time that the soil was dried and I overwatered and it dead, but I didn't think the soil was dry this time. I used the biodegradable non woven nursery bags. Thank you.
I usually run my lights 12-16 hours a day. I always start my seeds in the 6-cell starter trays with a dome covering them. Much easier to keep them moist that way. I transplant into larger pots or bags after they have a couple sets of leaves. A little yellowing on the tips of the leaves is not always a problem. Good luck!
@@7PotClub my bags are very small, each bag must the same side with your 1-cell. The seedling became drier now, and one of the 2 leaves from a seedling fell of. I guess they are dying. I'll leave my light for 12 hours today. How many hours should I leave the dome covered?
If I grow some indoors when they get taller do they still need to be on a heating mat with the light or will putting them next to a sunny spot suffice?
I remove them from the heating mat once they are established. But unless you have a really sunny window, you will still need lighting for good results.
great videos
Thanks Vedant!
How early should you start germinating seeds before transplanting outside?
I live in a colder climate, so I start early to give the plants a head start. So about 15 weeks.
@@7PotClub ok thanks. My last frost is estimated at May 2nd. Earlier this year it happen towards the end of May. I should start on January then.
Rob i planted carolina reaper yellow seeds and i got a little sprout but it is not growing big is that becouse it is growing roots and them growing there leafs
Hopefully it's just taking a while. But it is a sad fact of growing that some seedlings don't make it.
@@7PotClub yes i just hope it gets bigger by time
7pot club...... how do I join?

Sweet, count me in too. Growing some chocolate 7 pots.
Hello, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I have a propogation container similiar to yours, and Ive boughten and just used peat moss seed starter soil in my trays. I'm growing a variety of superhot peppers, and I was wondering how often should I be checking the trays for water, and should I add water under the tray as soon as it is dried up? Thanks :-)
If you have a tight fit on the lid, you shouldn't need to add much water until you start to vent it after the seeds start sprouting. As soon as you have airflow in there, you should check daily. The soil should always be moist. If there is no water in the tray, you should add water immediately. Seeds need a moist environment to sprout. Good luck! 😀🌶
@@7PotClub Thanks :-)
Also i couldnt find the episode where you transplanted to uour garden in May....were you too busy to record?
Hello!! I love your channel and I would love to know what place do you recommend for buying pepper seeds? You got me all encourage here!
Thanks Grisel! I get most of my pepper seeds from Semillas La Palma (www.semillas.de/shop_en/index.html). Over 700 varieties. I've been buying from them for about a dozen years.
@@7PotClub thank you so much!! Have a wonderful day, I can't wait for your season videos
I don't know why but I kind of felt like I was watching Tommy Wiseau; in a good way.
Where does one find all of these hot pepper seeds? Awesome video.
Thanks! I get most of my seeds here: www.semillas.de/cgi-bin/shop_en/shop.cgi
@@7PotClub Awesome! Thanks so much. Love your videos and music!
Hey Rob, great video. About 1 week into growing a few different varieties. Some of my seedlings are now taller than the roof of my growing tray and some seeds haven't sprouted yet, should I keep the dome on the tray and wait? I think my Serranos are just super leggy compared to the rest of my peppers. What do I do?
Thanks for watching! If your dome has ventilation, and the seedlings aren't hitting the top of the dome, you should be able to leave it on while you wait for the remaining seeds to germinate. Some seeds take a few days, and some take a few weeks, so be patient. Serrano seedlings can be a little leggy, so that could be normal. Just make sure that you have enough light and that the light is close enough to plants. Good luck!
@@7PotClub The Serranos are definitely much taller! I've got lights on a 16hr cycle. I think I'll leave the lid on for a few more days but maybe I'll prop the lid up on the side with my Serranos so there's a bit less pressure on the seedlings touching the roof!
Propping is a good tactic. You could also just remove the dome and place a little plastic wrap over segments that haven't germinated.
Thanks for the video! What kind of mix did you plant your seeds in?
Now that I'm all organic, I use Pro-Mix Ulitmate Organic Potting Soil.

Thanks!

Tray 1, tray 2, Tre Cool...get it?
Would you recommend jiff seed starting mix to start off?
I've had really good luck using Pro-Mix Organic Potting Mix from start to finish. I don't usually use a special seed starting mix.
I m from India and now it is rainy season and temperature is like summer I order changuanas seeds from online plz suggest how to plant plz
I live in such a cold climate that I don't know how to advise you. But I think you could follow my instructions even if you plant outside and use natural lights, except that it might be too hot to use the dome over the tray. Good luck!
Hello, new at this. How can I store pepper seeds? Just in a zip lock bag? Do I need to put them in a paper bag or in the fridge? Thanks!!
As long as you keep them dry, they'll be fine. I store mine in paper and plastic envelopes which are in a plastic box.
7 Pot Club thank you!!
Can I plant 4 seedlings together on the same pot? These are charapita hot peppers
@@eldiegz83 If you mean you want to plant the seeds in one pot for later transplanting into separate pots, yes. But you shouldn't try to grow multiple pepper plants to maturity in the same pot.
