I'm from a family of chili farmers from the South of India 😊 I'm now farmless in Seattle, learning your ways to grow "peppers" 😉 Both places have their own unique set of challenges, both are fun in their own different way ❤ thank you for sharing all your priceless knowledge and presenting it so well 🙏
None of my peppers have ever stopped making peppers long enough to grow bigger. In fact I think it's probably the reason green peppers are so popular.
What I appreciate most about your content is how you take the audience through the entire journey from seed to harvest, showing real results. If any of you are new to gardening, get a copy of their ebook, it is the perfect book for pepper newbies. Thanks Calvin and Crystalyn!!!
I remember your same tip from another video about plucking early flowers to encourage more plant growth. That was a solid tip, definitely had pepper plants get bigger than normal using that method
Wow, thank you, I'm planting out in bulk, we are all growing our own in UK at the moment, Respect from UK
Thank you for talking about sun scald, i had no idea thats why my peppers did that sometimes.
Great tutorial! This looks insanely helpful!
Beautiful peppers 🌶 🫑. Nw Nevada desert here & I wish I could get beauties like that. Have done some tweaking in the garden so hopefully next yr will be good. Thank you 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Just wanted to send along a thank you for your content. I've been trying my best to grow pepper plants for years but took a break last year to learn what I was doing wrong. Wound up with 3 different bell varieties that exceeded expectations this year for growing in Michigan. Yellow and Red bells with around 8-10 peppers on each, and a lunchbox orange bell variety with around 18 or so peppers on it. They were the best looking and productive plants in my garden this year.
Great video. I love my Sweet Sunset Banana peppers growing in pots. Most wire "tomato" cages are perfect for peppers too (even though they suck for actual tomatoes hahaha).
Right! Those cages are much too small for most tomatoes, and they end up falling over anyway. Perfect for peppers though.
A lot of Great tips, thank you .
Oh yes, start the day geeky and spicy.
It wasn't one of your favorites, but you introduced me to ají amarillo and it is now my favorite chili of all time.
Thanks for doing what you do, guys.
Whats it taste like?
@proprietarycurez8463 Has a berry-like tart sweetness, and Serrano-level heat. They look like giant orange jalapeños, but taste better and are hotter on average. Perfect for my uses!
So happy to hear that! Glad we could help you find that variety.
very informative, Thanks
i appreciate your vids bro
Great info.
Glad you think so!
Hi I just followed u❤❤❤❤ from Belgium 🇧🇪 thanks
Glad I found your channel. going to share it with my brother and a couple others. Wondering what grow lights you're using. Did not see a link to your book but I'm guessing I can find it on Amazon. I'll be checking your other videos soon. I'm in Fresno California and I'm a little concerned it might be too hot and dry here for containers but I think I'll give it a try. We do have three great growing seasons here. Thanks
Hi there, so we have a few grow lights, all of them LEDs. This article includes a few options: peppergeek.com/best-grow-lights-pepper-plants - also our ebook is here: peppergeek.com/ebook. Thanks for watching and sharing the channel!
This year, I grew Scotch Bonnet peppers. Beautiful red color. Last night we had a Jamacian Jerk Chicken cookout using them! 😊 I also grew jalapeños and Shishitos but had never tried the Scotch Bonnets. Thanks for a great informative channel.
They dont taste good enough to put up with all the heat! None of the superhots taste very good.
@proprietarycurez8463 Real Scotch Bonnets are very flavorful, and a country's famous cuisine is built around it.
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
I just got some Hungarian crushed paprika paste (hot). Literally crushed paprika peppers. Tastes great, going to save some of the seeds from it to grow next season.
Thats a lot of flavor! 👍
I have a Grand Bell Sweet Pepper plant in a pot i started by seed last year. I live in Maine and i bring it in on the radiator by the livingroom window in the off season and outside in the summer. When the seed germinated last year i took a calcium pill and used a file and put the calcium powder in a small cup of water that i put on the plant to help prevent blossom end rot which helped. I use miracle grow once in a while and not too often. The peppers doesn't get very big, but i think it's due to not big enough pot. Other than that the plant is doing good for it's second year. I am doing an experiment to see how many years this Pepper Plant will live for.

Great video, thank you so much! You focused on bell peppers in the video, between the two sweet peppers. Do you have a comparable video for banana peppers?
I successfully germinated seeds in mineral substrate, this reduces greatly to problem of fungus gnats (I try to completely avoid soil in the house)
I am in zone 9. What is a good bell pepper to grow in 5 gallon buckets that will provide me with regular size peppers. What I have tried are about 1/5 the size they should be. self wicking planters with regular fertilizer.
My peppers definitely don't look like that. 😂 I'm in Texas 8b and I think the heat stunted growth. Bells and bananas are very small or going straight to red before becoming big. Only thing that did well were Jalapeños.
Jalapeños and other Mexican/New Mexico types are a great choice for any hot/dry regions!
I back onto a natural space and have given up on trying to keep the weeds out of an in ground garden so have switched to containers, 10 and 20 gallon grow bags. Have you ever tried to keep a pepper plant producing year round indoors?
Do you have anything about Padron Spanish tapas peppers?
what would you consider a short season. in melbourne aus we have warm weather from octoberish till march. would you consider that short
After 40 days and 40 nights of rains, I wasn't sure if they got enough watering, so I watered them with Hurricane Lee. Does that help?
seriously, with all the rains, I haven't needed to add extra water but I felt that the fabric grow bags were probably draining the nutrients, so, I upped the fertilizer schedule a little.
That is hilarious 😂😂
Funny yet not funny ya know?
Hope you are all safe 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Life is challenging enough, @@deecooper1567, without laughing at things, right?
Out of the 2 seeds you planted, do you thin out one?
I killed 2 flats of seedlings this year spritzing seed tray. Bad damping off problem. Bottom watering and sterilizing mix with boiling water solved problem.
Only bring them outside when night time temps are above 55? In Vancouver (8b) that doesn’t happen until July lol. Our average night time temps in the summer are 57.
I feel like these planting guides need to be modified for colder zones. Any PNW growers know when you can transplant pepper seedlings to outdoors?
I'm in the Idaho Panhandle 20 mi south of the border, 5b/6a, avg last frost 5/15. I put mine out around the 3rd week of May but my bells were King of the North and Ozark Giant which are both supposed to be suited to cooler climates. The overnight lows were definitely below 55° at that time, probably more like 40-45°, they did fine. I started picking some peppers around the 1st of July. I've had frost 3 times so far in September, I cover everything at night of course. The peppers are blossoming and fruiting like crazy right now since it's cooled off, they seem to be loving the cool weather.
How did you get them to grow so tall?❤
How often do you fertilize?
I have a banana pepper plant that has grown over 5 feet tall in a 5 gallon container; throughout this growing season about 50% of the peppers have/ are getting BER; I tried a CA++ supplement with no change! I water it consistently ; i fertilize every 2 weeks; what am I doing wrong???
Good morning, when ever I plan peppers the stems always turn black. Please say how to fix this problem.
Love your step by step. Its super helpful like following a recipe. Thanks for all your pepper knowledge
What kind of heat lamps do you use? You didn't link it in the description and I'm interested in it.
No heat lamps. For germination, a heating pad below the mini greenhouse. Once the seeds sprout, artificial lighting 14-16h/day. You can use specific LED plant lights, but it's not strictly necessary just for seedlings, since they don't need that much light. Something like 30W of LED lighting 30cm above the plants is easily enough for seedlings. Any regular white LEDs will do for this, I think cold white is somewhat preferable though. If you grow them beyond a few weeks under artificial light, the light requirements will increase of course.
Any tips for dressing with mice or rats in the garden? They are DESTROYING my last pepper crop!
Am in the Philippines. Finding seed is tough. I transplanted yolow wonders into pots. Had a heavy rain and 90% of the leaves fell off the next day. Hope they come back
one advantage of using pots is that you can move them indoors or somewhere where your plant is protected from heavy rainfall since the water will accumulate in the pot.

dude stole a bus tub from a restaurant 💀
That's so funny,let him survive 😅
No you can buy them at Lowes or home Depot.They mix cement in them so they are available where the bag cement is sold.A you tuber said so.
😂😂😂
They need a warm place to germinate hey? Let me just go inside and place it in front of an air conditioner. 🤣 Man, Australia is a shite hole sometimes.
