Pruning and Fertilizing Pepper Plants for Huge Yields! This week we we go through when and how to prune your sweet and hot pepper plants to increase their yield in the summer! It is important to note that the trigger for me is when the plant has well established height and when the plant tries to flower. I typically hack it back to the last few nodes where leafs come out. The new stems will come from those nodes. I know it looks brutal but it will pay off!! Feeding is important for the plants. they are going to go through stress and need easy to access food. liquid organic fertilizer is easy to access and gives the plant a shot of goodness. it is harder to over fertilize with Organic fertilizers like the liquid kelp based mix I use but it can still happen so watch for the signs. I have lovingly called my garden the Alberta Urban Garden. This channel is dedicated to Gardening and Brewing from our harvest. Please join us and join the conversation!

I heard that using petrified water is best when seed planting indoors. Yes????

2-2-2- ? .... you need a more like - 4-2-2- .. for small plants..

Coffee is important gardening juice! Glad I came across your channel, thanks for the tips!

where can i buy this fertilizer? :D

Great casual vid. By the way, I have a feeling you made this vid at 4:20...right! lol

Isn't it expensive to have to provide the electricity for the lamps?

you have another subscriber. thanks so much for the information. extremely helpful :)

Good video thanks. I like how you topped it nice and short. I always top my peppers it works every time. Just an FYI I have found that adding a tablespoon or two of epsom salt to my water can every couple weeks helps greatly. Peppers love magnesium, cheers.

Sound issue. Too quiet

Can you root the top?

i recently tried your method a bout a week a go and let me tell you my plant are doing great better than i thought they would do thank you for your advice

Awesome that you gave a shout out for Praxx ;) That's where I first heard about pepper pruning and bringing them in for the winter. Good video!

if i do this out side is there any thing i have to worried about

i got beets as well and they seem to start out like that you know all laying down an stuff later on it may pick up

if you FIM it you'll get 4 growth tops rather than 2.

I watch gardening videos to learn how to garden. I can't hear you over the stupid music!!
If I want music, I'll download iTunes!!

he cut too low , 2-maybe 3 internode upper will be better , more side branche faster ;)

How long does it take to get the true leaves to grow? Mine have been planted and in my greenhouse for 3 weeks and only have the first leaves. FYI please cut the music when you are talking. I can't understand half of what you say because of the music.
