Growing Peppers Indoors: Best Lighting Options for Inside Your Home

[@cosmicpuppy7443]

Wow, I am soooo glad I stumbled on your channel. I really like how structured your videos are, this is a wealth of wonderful knowledge :)

[@marygallagher3428]

The peppers are doing so well! You really have a "green thumb" :-)

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

I love it! not everyone has the ability to get grow lights and some fancy setup, but there are so many other options!

[@alli1152]

Wow! Thank you so much for the information and the effort it took for this video!

WOW WOW WOW!!!! BEAUTIFUL Wisdom!!!!! Thanks for sharing this PRECIOUS video with the world. God BLESS You and YOUR PRECIOUS family. Stayyy HAPPPY

[@shake_shells11]

Thanks! That’s a great idea. I’m planning to grow my peppers indoor in my hydroponic system 😊

[@sandrainontario6710]

Thank you so much for this video! I brought in two peppers and pruned them down and now they're growing all these beautiful shiny leaves and I didn't know if that was okay I thought I was just going to be overwintering them and sticking them back in the ground in the spring. Now I will give them some more love and attention and see if I actually get peppers this winter! This past summer was my first garden in over 20 years. And this year was my introduction to prepping. I've enjoyed your videos very very much.

[@brandon_wallace]

Great video. You are the only one that shows the results of how well peppers grow under LED grow lights indoors.

[@scotts595]

So what I’m hearing.. no excuses- GROW Food! 😎 We usually grow our starters indoors.... never tried to over winter. Definitely going to try it now💥

[@Fred.pSonic]

Thank you for the effort involved in making this comparison video, very useful. You have a fantastic setup although you seem to have a major issue with those annoying soil gnats, a problem we all have to deal with. Whenever I bring plants indoors I always make a fresh batch of potting soil and always sterilize it before replanting. I still use the sticky traps and still get those bugs but sterilization will kill off eggs and larvae in the soil resulting in far less infestation.

Fantastic light!

[@riffhurricane]

Looking very good there! I brought my peppers in to overwinter for the first time this year. Its warm enough where I have them so that they're not dying, but not not warm enough for them to fruit. That said, I should get a nice crop from them at the start of summer, rather than the end as would usually be the case. A good feeling to be able to keep a nice plant going as well instead of just pulling & chucking on the compost heap (as I was always taught to do). Hope you have a good Christmas guys, best wishes from the UK!

Thank u for the information on the video, it helps to know that the peppers won't die if they spend the winter inside and by the window. The favorites here are; Bahamian Goat Pepper, because of flavour and perfume (my wife) but for me it's the Chocolate Bhutlah

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

I grew some indoors until January and then they stopped but I didn't have supplemental light. This year I have several I brought in and I have a grow light.

[@conniepatterson5142]

Excellent information, thank you I'm ready to prune them now!

[@photouyfreak3890]

Congrats on an amazing video. I would like to add that it's important to know what kind of glass your window has, because some people may have single glass window, and cold there may be kind of too much for a pepper.

[@JonathanBJones]

That is true...even good double pane windows don't insulate all that well, and single pane is even worse. Thanks for your comment and thanks for being part of the solution!

[@papayaisme]

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing. I’m going to do this in this winter. Did you fertilize the plants during the winter? What was your room temperature. Thank you.

[@xxtacowarriorxx6440]

I use this ledge from Walmart to let cats perch on the window. Had 15 pound Velcro or screws to attach to the window sill and legs from the far end diagonal to the wall. I just screwed that to the wall too because it didn't stay perfectly level with weight.

[@advanced-electronic]

if you give them phosphorus and cal/mag the peppers will get much bigger and you'll get much more yield very easily. They also love the addition of sand to their potting mix and love to have very warm and somewhat dry soil, drip irrigated is best using clean rain water. Collecting rain water from thunderstorms really helps plants go insane, growing in a frenzy like they do outdoors if done in the correct condition and recommended climate which you could look up by the type of pepper. Hot chilis love the sand .. Well draining which stops them from getting root malnutrition by not allowing the roots to get large white and well oxygenated, easily weakening your pepper plants. They do not like compact hard high clay concentrated soil that harden and constrict the roots.

[@AmericanPrepper]

Awesome!

[@michaelnoardo3315]

Hi, what is your house temperature 🌡️? do you water it daily or only when you see the soil dry? commercial lights? how many hours you keep them, all day long?

[@ppg4667]

Here's my trick to cloning peppers or anything inside... I sterilize the scissors with alcohol before I use it of course. I then take my cutting and pull of all leaves except the top 2 and then cut those 2 leaves in half horizontally discarding the tips.. I then put the stem under water when I make the final 45 degree cut at the ends, and veryy fast put that end into the cloning powder/gel. It then goes right into the grow medium that is moist but not soggy. Coco coir medium works the best for this. Depending on where you are or if you have a cuttings dome or not, you might want to put zip lock bag on top secured by a rubber band to act as a mini greenhouse. I'm in Florida so usually that's enough but if it's dead winter I'll put the peppers on a heating pad on low to promote root growth. Has never failed. Also excellent channel, I just binged watched and of course subbed 👍 keep up the great content !

[@d3s1r3dpk]

insecticide using hydrogen peroxide or even neem oil can fix your problem

[@cfantasticseeallgood]

My window faces east wouldn’t that be a good spot for my pepper plant?

[@scotthetherington3174]

So awesome thanks for making this video! I have several hot peppers growing in large tote containers outside. They have alot of baby peppers still producing as well as some that are ripening nicely. We'll be getting frost up here soon and I want to bring them inside in the same containers so they can keep producing and ripening. Can I just bring them in and throw grow lights on them? I'm not sure that I should do any pruning yet...

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

If you aren't repotting them there isn't a need to prune. You may have a bit of a bug issue so give them a good spray with water that has a little dish soap and hydrogen peroxide in it. Water the soil with water that has hydrogen peroxide in it to kill the bugs living in the soil. They will do great with grow lights or in a sunny window.

[@scotthetherington3174]

@@TheProvidentPrepper will do, thanks so much!

[@WreckDiver99]

how do you get pollination to occur inside? You get the blossoms, but without some kind of pollination won't they just fail?

[@kristinb5121]

I would be very interested in a follow-up to the pest issue. I’ve got a grow light used for germinating for spring planting. Ever since your first video, I’ve been considering an indoor garden, but wondered if hydroponic wasn’t best due to the smell of the dirt and pests. I prefer the taste of veg grown in dirt. I think a solarium like yours or green house might be needed. Even if starting with fresh dirt and seed, I often find spider eggs in bagged dirt. Your channel is really wonderful at giving good info and different alternatives. The shelf idea is great. I would have thought the cold transfer from the window would inhibit growth, but the extra space must solve that.

[@southsidecarly7427]

@@TheProvidentPrepper one of the videos I watched recently showed that if you pour boiling water over the potting mix before you use it, it will kill certain bugs

[@adenrios423]

How long do you keep light on ?

[@forrestsmith8857]

Great video! I have a second year jalapeño pepper that I started from seed and then brought it into my house over the winter. It was placed in a bad window for sun, but it still did it’s best. I just took it outside and it is already producing small peppers. It doesn’t look the greatest because it is in shock because of all the sun it now receives. My question is, how do I get the plant from producing fruit early, and get it to focus back into growing larger and stronger?

[@infamos]

just pluck off any flowers, they will put energy into growing instead of fruiting.

[@Bbbq-c1j]

I see sticky traps loaded with bugs. Do peppers attract a lot of white flies or other bugs indoors?

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

They lay eggs in the soil and are tough to manage inside for almost all plants.

I watched this video twice, and not once did I hear the words "Lumens" and "Kelvin". THESE are the most important elements for indoor growing. Not all "grow lights" are worth a damn. If you're not cranking out AT LEAST 5000 L and 5000 K, you're wasting your time and money.

[@Adol666]

"In order for the peppers to survive You have to prune peppers ALOT" LOL where are you getting that myth from? Ive brought peppers in and over wintered many times, not pruned and they survived just fine. Nothing wrong with pruning em back but it isnt something you have to do for them to live.

[@themuckler8176]

You suck at indoor growing. And I've never hacked a pepper plant up like that to overwinter. I've kept plants for several years and have never done that or even heard of anyone doing that for peppers.
