Three weeks later and the peppers are really starting to come in bunches. It has been a very hot and dry summer, but the peppers love growing in their pots. As a whole, they have grown stronger in partial shade (not full sun). In the full sun, they suffered badly from mid-day wilting, but thrive in the shade. Most of the peppers in the video are green peppers, but also included are Jalapeno, Hot Red Cherry, Cayenne, Habanero, Ghost Peppers (Bhut Jolokia), and Trinidad 7 Pots/Pods.

I am so jealous of you!

hi,
my ghost pepper plants seem pretty healthy but the buds are falling out. how mani hours of sunlight do u give them? any tips would be highly appreciated thank you.

last year i grew my ghost peppers out in full sun for first 2 months of summer...they wilted a bit, so after moving it into the shade, it went crazy with peppers!

Sir, you have amazingly healthy plants. You either have the proverbial green thumb or you are well informed as to how to grow these gems. What part of the country are you in? What kind of soil do you pot them in? What do you do against pests? Please advise sir...clearly you know what you are doing and your input would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can you tell me what rate of fertilizer you used on your ghost and scorpion peppers? Like 10-10-10 or more or less? Thanks. I am growing them for the first time and not sure but do not want to kill them. Thanks

Hi,
hey I love the Hot Sauce,
and i try to Growing Ghost Peppers,
I love your plants bro! thank you for do this videos,

Those ghost peppers look nothing like ghost peppers. They like scorpion hybrids.

I'm growing habaneros in a homemade greenhouse inside of my house for the winter. When it starts getting warmer do u think i should move them outside so the plant can get taller/wider?

Nice video

hey if you can send me some Trinidad scorpions could you please lol

where did you get your ghost pepper seeds from?

I need to start growing my own I love chili powder on almost everything I eat

I have some young bhut jolokia all under a foot tall right now and they are growing shoots from auxiliary meristems like crazy. Should i prune those shoots off?

Great advice and thanks for sharing your knowledge. I had all my peppers in full sun until today.

I have found it impossible to get jalapeño peppers to sprout from seed. Haven't been successful. I purchased 10 ghost pepper seeds online and I'm trying those now. Hope I have success!

Im growing green bellpeppers and I wqs wondering do they need full sun? And how big should thevpot be? Last question I hope u can give me advise on this one,in winter can I bring my potted bellpeper in side? And where would ivputvit by a window for some sun?

i only grow peppers in pots and bring them in during the winter...... way better results, i prefer fabric pots myself.

Currently growing Carolina Reapers which I had to order online as seeds. Doing well so far in our arid Sacramento spring. Just found a ghost pepper clone today at Home Depot of all places and put in in a big pot. I'm excited. Thanks for sharing the vid.

You did good moving them to the shade. It's a common misconception that peppers need full sun. Peppers especially love shade in the late afternoon. I use a piece of lattice to give mine partial shade right around (or just after) 3 p.m. It still gets some light through the slats, but is shaded from the brunt of the suns heat. Also, you will get a lot more fruit with bigger pots.

You might want to separate where the plants are since they might cross pollinate therefore making the hot peppers not as hot
