First Video Update

13 years ago

Okay guys and gals. Here is my first attempt at making a video update. Go easy on me. Remember, I'm from the South, so I may have a small accent compared to what you're used to hearing.

    Holy crap I'm jealous. Phenomenal, I've never been lucky or skillful enough to have plants loaded like that.

    WOW awesome plants and an amazing amount of pods on each of them. Tim time to change your gardenweb name maybe something along the lines of pepperpro? Great video and pepper tour.

    Peppermovie,

    now that you got ALL the complements, plse give us SOME advice on as how you do it. I notice one thing (and there might be a big secret) that with so much land , you have planted your pepps in pots HMMM !

    Great video Tim. You're an excellent pepper grower.

    Nice Tim! The only plant I have that's close to any of yours as far as pod production/size is a Naga in the ground. I'm going to have to rethink my 5-1-1 components. Awesome grow!

    Why don't you bunch them up together more? Seed saving?

    Your accent? Don't all people from North Carolina sound like you do? :P

    Thanks for all the kind words. I knew you would be planning more garden space Armageddon. I think you probably have plants on your roof if you could get a drip line up there.
    Seysonn....if you want advice, you're in the right place. I just don't know if I'm the one you should be taking it from. This is only my second year growing peppers from seed, so I'm still learning myself.

    ......Thanks for the compliment Sandy!

    Kevin.....I guess we all talk like that. I didn't know I had an accent until I went into the Marines. Suddenly people were telling me I talked funny.

    Yea, well Tim, I wanted some tips from you that have demonstrated your pepper growing skills. I am sure there are others too. All I wanted to know are: What do you feed them ? & Why you planted them in pots instead of in the ground? I just have 6 pepper plants.

  • 13 years ago

    I plant both in ground and in pots. I have about 10 pepper plants in the ground, and about 25 in pots. I like pots because the plants seem to grow faster. I believe the roots stay warmer early on and this aids in the growing process while the plants are still young.I also like pots because you can move your plants around. We had a lot of rain this spring. I was able to take my young seedlings and put them on our covered porch. This kept them from getting over watered.
    I use three different kinds of fertilizer. I use Miracle grow, Alaska fish fertilizer, and when I pot up, I put Osmocote in my pots. I also use dolomitic lime, blood meal, and bone meal in my pots. I hope that helps you out. If I can help you in anyway just let me know.

    Awesome video Tim. Plants look nice and healthy. Great observation about the moruga pod formation changing based on the rain. Very cool. Your plants are well ahead of mine.

    Don't sweat the accent, we've all got some kind of accent to someone else, I won't even talk in my videos, haha. Thanks for sharing, great info.

    Really nice plants! I've got some questions.

    I'm getting decent pod production, but your plants still have their lower leaves and many of mine look more like plane trees. When did you move them up to the big pots? Have they always been as widely spaced? Do you turn the pots? What is the average sun time? (I'm getting 6+ hours)

    Thank you for the compliment Peppermeister.

    DMForcier...... I potted up after about 4 months. They are usually closer, I had to move them around so we could cut the grass. I usually turn them when I notice them leaning to one side, or if it looks like there is a side with less foliage. They typically get sun from around 11 a.m. till about 8 or 8:30 p.m. The only exception is the 4 plants at the end. They only get about 4 or 5 hours of direct sunlight.

    Tim, it is very nice to see your video. Your plants and pods are awesome. I wish to have some pods like yours :-)

    Caelian.......I've read several of the threads you've posted and looked at your pictures. I believe you're going to have way more peppers than I will. Your plants all look healthy and productive. Thank you for the kind words.
