Check out my page to see my fatalii plant I grew using this method last year!
Thanks for watching!
This video some kind of addiction........i have seen it 10 times.....still watching again and again..
Check out my plants for really ji-normous peppers.
the more you know the better you grow
I was going to nit pick in the beginning: "You didn't mix the compost deep enough, you should have bought more fertilizer, put the mid season granular closer and scratch it in." then I saw your results and was like Never mind. lol
There will always be something to nit pick about! I’m a big fan of keeping it simple though. I appreciate you honoring the results!
You do realize the nutrients from the compost on top washes down with each watering 🤡
That is incredible...over 100!! Off one plant.
Then you said you had one that was 200 last year...in that bucket.
Dude its the bucket. Its magic
All hail the magic bucket! 🙌🏼 video of the 200 pepper plant from last year is on my page too. I got 4 more buckets for growing even more giant plant this year too, so stay tuned.
It’s a huge bucket. If he put it in a one gallon it won’t grow big. I want to see a 50 gallon plant
Does this bucket have drainage holes? I want to start one for my porch.
I’d totally buy some of those seeds you saved if you are willing to part with some. 😊
Wow, its crazy how many peppers you got from one plant.
I saw the whole video. Awesome plant! Ive been growing peppers for 2 years. I need bigger pots!!
Either way, they’re Beautiful ❤. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks! Started growing peppers a few weeks ago, and this video really helped a lot!
I planted 3 orange habanero pepper plants over an old compost pile and they grew huge and lasted for 2 years. They look very similar to your red peppers. I made mango habanero jelly which can also be used as a glaze which can be used over grilled pork ribs, roast, baked fish Etc. Delicious!
Sounds delicious!!
How many days it took to germinate your habanero pepper seeds? Its been more then 2 weeks since i sowed their seeds with suitable environment and still no signs of germination. My seeds are fresh Franchi Italian seeds
@@gandharaorganicfoods What temperature, day and night? Is the soil cooling from evaporation in a drafty location?
@@TheDuckofDoom. its been a month now since I sowed the seeds and the pots are placed in a direct sunlight but soil is mostly wet. Temperature is 20 to 32 average now adays. Should i place the pots in a shade or what is the solution.? I assume seeds might be dead by now or what you suggest? Please Help
@@gandharaorganicfoods Yeah they should have sprouted by now in that temperature range. It is hard to say why over the internet because of the many details; could be bad seed, rot, wrong moisture, maybe got too hot in the sun(common if using the clear plastic covers) or too cold at night.
Next attempt, If you have a place that is the same temperature range but not in direct sun use that, then move to sun when you see the first sprout pushing up. Don't use fertilizer before the seeds sprout.
Be sure the mix or soil is porous so the seeds can get some oxygen.
Be sure to use fresh potting mix so it doesn't carry diseases that rot the seeds,
You can pasturize potting mix(fresh or used), I do this for rare and difficult seeds that need the very best chance. Wet the mix well and put in an old baking tin, cover with a lid or foil and place in an oven at 130-150c for a few hours until the center is 95-100c, allow to cool then add more clean drinking water if it has dried out too much, then plant the seeds.
Amazing results!
Great plant!
Absolutely amazing!!👍
That pepper plant turned out so awesome. Thank you for sharing.
No problem thank you for watching! Growing a lot more big plants this year, so stay tuned
I believe you have a Trinidad Scorpion plant. The little “stinger” at the bottom sets it apart
Might be the Red Savina habanero. Killer harvest!!
Amazing harvest. 🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful Peppers!
Beautiful.
woow huge harvest
I have three large ghost pepper bush. When I planted them I didn’t have any fertilizer, composts or anything and they grew beautifully. Now I’ve been watching all these so called expert gardeners and I’m doing the most and plants are failing. 😢😢😢, Honestly plants are going,g to grow as long as u put it in the ground and it gets water. Do,t worry I’m back to planting the old fashion way and all is good. 😊😊😊
Amazing growth. Thanks for the videos.
INCREDIBLE!! Love watching these types of videos.
Thank you! More to come 😄
Good luck on your channel buddy!
Thank you!
wow excellent, super healthy save the seeds!
That’s the plan! Appreciate it
Insane!! Amazing great job man
You are right, That plant has some amazing genetics. How many seeds to did you save. i would be interested in helping to growing out the second generation.
👍👍👍 good job🎉
Awesome video very motivating
Giant Peppers
Yeay it's nice
It's spring season ?
Awesome tips
Nice video yo…. Beautiful plant & Thanks for sharing
Very impressive! I never have luck with peppers. I am going to try growing them in a grow bag this year.
That is a genius idea on how you stop cross pollination!
Try growing Shishito peppers, the easiest, very prolific sweet pepper.
Grows to 1.5ft to 3ft tall
You can put 2 plants in a 5 gallon grow bag & 3 in a 7 gallon
Good Luck !
Peppers love grow bags, you should do well! Most of my other plants are in bags. Best of luck this year!
Good job, young man.
This looks like a habanero plant I grew at the Lincoln Community Garden in Lincoln, Arkansas. The plant produced 244 peppers.
wow , that is amazing
Giants pepper plants very fertile... Love it...wishing you success and stay healthy...
Thanks, and same to you!
@@jackspepperpatch you're welcome
Looks like Habanero, wow...these habaneros always are so productive. And HOT!
Its going to be my 4th yrs of growing peppers. I cant tell exactly why but the harvest is 20x better when the plan grow in a container vs directly in ground
They look like Red Caribbean. Good Job on growing them.
My favorite pepper!
Beautiful 🤩
Cant wait for this season ❤
Me neither! Are you growing anything that you're excited about?
I've got big plans! This year I'm going to try to do more large plants like this one, instead of many smaller plants in small containers.
I received my allotment end of last summer, so have been patiently waiting to start up my own chilli sauce company. I'm going to buy 150x IKEA bags for growing in as they are huge, get some chickens and a bee hive ✌️ @@jackspepperpatch
@@jackspepperpatch not to hijack but my scotch bonnet seeds are on the way.
huge peppers
Great work!
Dude that growth is crazy!! I need that bucket!
Trying to do it again this year, stay tuned!
You barely do anything and get your plant to grow that well...ya I'm jealous lol
This video doesn’t show the years of practice, hundreds of failures, and hours of research. Just keep at it! You’ll be growing monsters in no time
Nice progress video man.
After watching this video I just ordered 2 chocolate ghost pepper plants from Amazon 😅😅😅
Those are Socth bonnet peppers 🫑
very nice colors
that tomato hitchhiker wanted to become some habanero salsa someday
I’m growing my first hydro wonder bell pepper plant. Thing grows SLOWWWWW. 😂
Habies for sure!
Look like Trinidad Scorpions
That's amazing! I'd love to know how many in the end you got on that plant
I will post a final update in the comments here! Up to 149 at the moment - I've picked it one more time since the video went up.
Awesome 🎉
Gorgeous! I don’t think you had to add support in the bucket at all!
We use pine needles for mulch. Keeps sun off the soil, allows air circulation, helps keep moisture in.
Great idea! Plus very economical. This year I’m growing 6 of these large plants, and I’m going to use ollas to water them. So I will definitely need to mulch with something.
@@jackspepperpatch I have a couple pine trees that I use to rake up the needles and use this for mulch, a lot cheaper than buying it.
That dynomyco is great. Imo The only nutes you need at that point is worm castings or the tea
Using mycorrhizal fungi does increase the amount of flowers produced by the plant which could be what is going on.
Bro what? LOL
Wow that was amazing, I was wondering if you prune your peppers. Thanks
Thank you! No, I didn’t prune this plant and I don’t prune most of my peppers. I’ll occasionally top one if I have a seedling that’s getting too tall and skinny but it’s not a standard practice for me.
@@jackspepperpatch thank you
this is really good dude. well done.
Fantastic haul! Loved seeing the growth over the season. Nice work 👍
Appreciate it!
With all of those Ghost Peppers, you'd better start keeping a large fire extinguisher in your bathroom. With the red color, they might be Carolina Reapers. The same thing goes with the fire extinguisher though.
looks like a habanero to me. keep up the good work
Appreciate it! Yeah I’m definitely thinking some kind of red hab after trying them. Tasty and spicy whatever they are though!
What did you use at the plants beginning for fertilizer?
I’m just getting into this.. how often are you watering? We eat a ton of bell peppers so that’s first on our list. Would appreciate any advice, thank you
I like fabric pots, I did jalapenos and cayenne in 10 gallon bags last year. They produce well in containers. This year I'll be trying banana peppers as well. I haven't done as well with bell peppers in containers but the season might be a little short here for them.
I use a lot of 5 gallon fabric bags and they work well, I bet your plants loved the 10 gallon ones! I’ve never had as much luck with bell peppers. I can never get them quite as big as ones from the store are.
@@jackspepperpatch I put two plants in each bag so we have the same volume per plant. I've got some 20 gallon bags, I might do three per bag. I'm in zone 4b maybe 5a, it's just too short a season for bell peppers. I'll try mini bell peppers this year maybe.
I have had the same issue with some Chocolate and Purple peppers reverting back to the Red like that. Those look like a off shaped Ghost
Yeah, these funky ones can be unstable for a few generations I think!
You grew a pepper tree brotha 👍
If you haven’t tried drying them you can make a spicy seasoning mix.
Good stuff man🤙 I've tried growing Bhut jolokia but I've had flower drops all the time😢 I live in a coastal subtropical climate in S.Africa. I suspect it could be a lack of calcium🤔 I reason that because calcium is used in strong cell development, maybe thats why they were limp and hence the flower drop🤷♂️ Happy new year to you and your family👊
Happy new year! Your climate sounds really nice, how hot does it get? Sometimes excessive heat causes blossom drop too. If that’s it could could always try a shade cloth over the plants. Other than that watering on a very regular schedule can help with calcium uptake!
add calcium boron fertilizer.
I top mine to let the stalk be stronger to hold the baring peppers so no tip over
Hi! Thanks for all the information. What is the best soil and compost for hot peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers? Thanks already for the answer!
The best compost is homemade stuff! For soil I buy from a local nursery. Their soil is a mix of topsoil, compost, manure, worm casings, and sand.
I will do it this way
what kind of fertilizert do you use? thank you
Nice grow
How do you get that growth in that little time.... Great stuff
It’s crazy how much they take off when the days get long in late May and June! The extra sunlight really gives them a great boost.
@@jackspepperpatch that makes sense, I live in terraced houses with walled off gardens. My peppers getting like 4hrs to 6hrs of light on a good day and my plants are all small and pathetic looking. Sounds like it's time to move.. Now I'm hoping that the rest of October (rainy cloudy cold) will be sufficient for any kind of harvest... Great vid mate
Did you save any seeds from this plant? I would be interested in getting some.
beautiful plant 💪🏻, my trinidad scorpion plant 🌶️made more than 250 pear peppers with a hand pollination😉
Impressive!!
How much and how often do you water your plants looking great gonna try my first garden this year wish me luck and thanks for the video
I just water my peppers when they completely dry out. They’re easy too, they will wilt to let you know when they really need water. Then I’ll just give them a good soaking. Good luck with your garden!
Absolutely incredible harvest what did you do with them all?
How can you store peppers in jars?
Thanks! I made a lot of hot sauce. I should have some videos on it coming out soon! You can store peppers in jars if you ferment them under a brine.
@jackspepperpatch thanks buddy subscribed loving the videos.
My peppers are dog state so learning everyday
Do you have holes in the bottom of your bucket? I. New to South Florida and learning what to grow here. I’m coming from Pa so it’s a learning process. Thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing 🍃🌿
Yes! I drilled a bunch of 3/8” holes in the bottom of this pot. You can see that process in last year’s video of growing a big Fatalii plant in this pot.
What do they taste like? How's the hot sauce? Any chance you can make a video on your sauce?
They’re very hot! I have two batches of sauce made out of them fermenting at the moment. One is in a glass jar following my Louisiana style recipe that’s on my page. For the other I’m doing a vacuum seal ferment and I’m currently filming a video on that batch! So stay tuned
Gran trabajo !!, Sana y vigorosa y que buena produccion. Me gusto el Tip de la polinizacion💚
Es facil cuando le agrego solo fertilizantes de quimico no es nada orgánico
Great video and plant. 🌱 I add bonemeal to my container do you think that’s ok? I also add epson salts worm castings.
Thanks! I bet the plants will love all of that. The soil I order has worm castings in it and seems to work really well.
What zone are you in and what were the day temps like?
Pretty amazing production.
Zone 7a in middle Tennessee. Temps were mild through June like typically 70 to mid 80’s. Later in the summer it got really hot - 90’s most days.
That's got a to be a 30 gallon bucket. No way it's 18! Really beautiful plant, great work!!
I was thinking habaneros as well
Very cool! Im trying this in Holland. Not so hot but i've lamps and a hot mat for the seedlings. I noticed you didn't cut the leaves away is it not better for the plant? From the bottom till the V? Please let me know.
I don’t really do any pruning on my plants! Just let them do their thing.
I live in the Arkansas river valley in Arkansas. Last year my peppers were just getting in gear when it was Frost time. I have 5 overwintering in my living room window. My question is, does anyone know if it would be beneficial to place large flat rocks around the base of the plant to build up heat early in the season?
I don’t know if it would build up heat necessarily but if they’re in a window it could help keep them a more consistent temperature. Rocks heat up during the day and then slowly release the heat at night. I don’t think it hurts to try it!
I sowed habanero pepper seeds and now its almost 2 weeks and no seeds have been germinated yet. Do you know the reason behind because i am giving them moist soil permanently and temperature is also suitable for them as i am from South Asia
Awesome video!
2 questions:
Are the plants placed south facing?
My area gets over 100 for a solid month and a half. Will they be able to handle that heat?
Cheers.
Yes these plants get good sun exposure to the south. My house and a tree are to the southwest of the plants though, so they do get a break from the sun in the afternoons. The plants should be okay in temps like that if they’re well established and you keep them watered. You might struggle with them dropping blossoms though, and if so I’d recommend either adding a shade cloth over them or putting them somewhere where they’ll get shade in the afternoons.
@@jackspepperpatch much appreciated 🙏
The only reason to add a bag over flowers is if your going to save seeds to grow next year . Cross pollination will not change this years harvest but will change the seeds that you could plant .
You are right and that’s precisely what I explained lol
They're ghost peppers for sure! I've grown them before and they're super HOT!
I’m cooking up some mean sauces from all these! Stay tuned
Ahhhh, you didn't show the package of the fertilizer you used. What is 'regular watering' mean? Us newbies need a lot of hand holding. Thanks
My bad! I show it in my super hot transplant video, check that one out. It’s just a Home Depot brand “general purpose + calcium” that’s formulated for tomatoes but peppers are very similar. Regular for me really just means whenever the soil gets dry and the plant wilts I’ll give it a soak. In the summer that can be every day or once ever few days just depending on rain and temperature + cloud cover and stuff. Peppers are easy though they’ll wilt when they need the water and don’t like wet feet so better to be cautious!
I like that you KISS (keep it simple sweetheart)...hmmm very interesting way to grow pepper. I am new to growing peppers. Actually this will be my first time :). I was wondering if you had the seed for sale as well as the orange tiger seeds. Please let me know, I would like to purchase these seeds and try them out. Do keep up the great work!!!
Thank you for the kind words! I don’t sell any seeds at the moment, it’s something I might get into in the future though. Good luck with your first attempt at growing! I’m sure that it will go well.
Peppergate!
Did You top/prune the plant at any point?
I did not with this one! I typically just let them run wild unless the seedlings are getting really lanky with no sign of splitting.
Have u got any kind of drain in the pot, to prevent drowning?
Yes! I drilled a bunch of holes in the bottom of the tub. You can see me to that in my video of growing a Fatalii plant in this pot last year.
Im growing some also
Serano
Quajillo
Chile de arbol
Anaheim pepper
I think im growing too many thoughts i have over 30-50 seeds all together. Is this overkill??
There’s never too many peppers! You have some good varieties. If it’s just you eating them, you’ll definitely get overwhelmed at some point in the season though. I’d recommend looking into fermentation because it can give you something to do with the peppers when you don’t have time to eat them. That or my recent video on how to freeze and store them. Hope your season goes well!
Try also sparragus big pimemton peppers
How do they taste?😊
Why did you think it was a chocolate pepper? You never said where or who you got the seed from?? Just wondering. Also what is your climate/growing season? It turned out to be a wonderful looking and producing plant. Good advice. 👍
I bought these seeds from “Sonoran spice company” and they were labeled as chocolate ghost pepper seeds. Funny enough, it looks like they don’t sell seeds on their website anymore. It did turn out well though! I’m zone 7A in middle TN. Glad you enjoyed!
