Mastering Pepper Germination In Under 30 Days

[@chriscapsaicin6770]

Unbelievable. This will be my go to for next Winter. Amazing video, Rich!

[@PepperGuru]

Thanks dude! Next episode late fall!

[@chriscapsaicin6770]

Still unreal.

[@raynerfpv2471]

It`s criminal that this video only has 4k views! , Absolutely amazing video!

[@PepperGuru]

Thank you so much! Feel free to share it out there to the world!

[@PorchGardeningWithPassion]

I agree! The editing and footage quality is next level. Eventually the cream will rise to the top, it is only a matter of time.

[@crisadriancruzat5428]

the quality and clarity of the video is stunning. I will try this one on my peppers.

[@PepperGuru]

Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed it!

[@Zengardenertiktok]

Wow…..so much Wow. Incredible wealth of information from a obviously experienced practitioner in photography, editing and pepper growing. Fantastic orator as well! Thank you Sensei for sharing your incredible contribution to this platform! Uplifting indeed!👍😊👩🏻‍🌾

[@PepperGuru]

Wow. That's quite the compliment! Thank YOU! ❤

[@johannforbes3252]

Asking a question that I’m sure you ask yourself daily…Why is your.content not more popular? Production values are 2nd to none. I’m even feeling the soundtrack! Keep it up (from an ex ATLien).

[@PepperGuru]

We hope to change that someday! Thanks for your viewership and the kind words! That truly means a lot to us.

[@gannas42]

Amazing and well composed video. The time lapses are stunning. I don't know how your channel evaded my gaze for so long. One thing that caught my attention was how awake the local flora was when you were hardening off. Interesting to see how the start of the growing season looks in other zones (I am in Minnesota).

[@PepperGuru]

Thanks for watching! Yeah the flora and fauna are really itching to go for spring, probably as much as we are!

[@PorchGardeningWithPassion]

Great work! you have a new sub Sir! I expect to binge watch your content quite a bit in the next week or so during my time off. This past year I grew peppers for the firs time and I am beyond hooked on making my own organic hot sauce. The past few months I have bought a lot of seeds and have been experimenting with grow lights indoors to ensure I maximize my growing opportunity here in the Pacific Northwest.

[@PepperGuru]

@@PorchGardeningWithPassion Thanks! Welcome aboard. Keep us updated on how it goes this season!

[@raydawes5212]

I have watched this video at least 25 times since dropped. I also caught all the edits and update changes. The production, timing, advice, and music is just captivating Rich! Never grows old! Thank you!

[@PepperGuru]

@@raydawes5212 Nice! Appreciate that dude. Means a lot. Thank you.

[@ogadlogadl490]

4:26 Literally me!! Been binging your vids, do not know how the algorithm didn’t suggest your channel before but, freaking fabulous!

[@PepperGuru]

Welcome aboard! So glad to have you here! Settle in, grab the popcorn, we're going pepper hunting!

[@PepperWolverine]

For me this is one of your best videos, if not the Best. Very well done Rich. Very meticulous, impressive and organized. Guru to the MAX!

[@PepperGuru]

Thanks so much Jeff

[@JaguwarSims]

This was satisfying to watch (thanks, great production crew, am I right?) I learned something I didn't know: your first replant isn't the only one before you find a "permanent" spot. That should be intuitive, but it wasn't to me, so thank you for going all the way from start to finish.

[@PepperGuru]

Just me here! Well, me and a tripod running around like a crazy person! 🤣 Glad you got something out of it! 💗

[@dragthis2006]

Very nice camerawork maybe the best ive seen on KZbin.. were u ever in school for photography?

[@PepperGuru]

Thanks! Never went to school for it, just another passion of mine since the age of 10!

Likewise my friend.

[@missbttrsctch]

WOW, you are SERIOUS with it 👍🏾!! I absolutely LOVE seeing the time laspe of them growing - SO BEAUTIFUL - and the fact that you do EVERYTHING yourself (the irrigation, the fence, etc.)!! GREAT job, thank you for sharing! Do you sell seedlings/seeds?

[@PepperGuru]

@@missbttrsctch Thanks! Yep! It’s just me here! I also travel the world in search of the best peppers and document those adventures as well! The seeds for the varieties I find are available to members of pepperguru.com in annual subscription packages! Thanks for watching!

[@Pepperspls]

Your garden set up is so awesome man. Love the video. I hope I can grow this many one day. I'll take my 2 or 3 for now though that's for sure!

[@PepperGuru]

I always say, "Less plants, more peppers!"

[@capsicumco]

Still one of the best videos I've seen. Love checking these of thr guru at work

[@PepperGuru]

Thank you dude. Hope it helps!

[@PedroLopez-Pas]

I have always wanted to try growing peppers and tomatoes from seed because of the chance to grow unusual, heirloom, or just uncommon varieties. After watching this video, I will try.

[@PepperGuru]

Love to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@CrypticCayenne]

WOW Now thats the kind of work i am talking about.

[@JaguwarSims]

KUDOS o the: Film crew Photography sub crew Editing sound/audio/music crew This was enjoyable on all these fronts, going beyond the subject matter. I'll talk about the subject shortly

[@PepperGuru]

Thanks to all those compliments! It's just me here! 🥰

[@OrtoInScatola]

Beautiful work! Surprised that you don’t use the wet kitchen towel in a ziploc bag method for capsicums. I find it to be the most reliable and convenient. Also surprised about you repotting immediately to such big pots right after germination. Never tried that but seen your results I will have to give it a try

[@PepperGuru]

@@OrtoInScatola I use that method too! I have another video titled “Seed Scarification with Tannin Tea” where we use tea to soften old seed hulls for germination. Check it out!!!

[@PacWestPhoto]

the guru is giving us the secret sauce! thank oh wise one! ha

[@PepperGuru]

🤣

[@ChilliCrosser]

Great storytelling. Thanks for reminding me of all the work I've still got left to do on all my plants before they are in their final homes this year :-) The question is, did the lone Tovarii seed make it?

[@PepperGuru]

not yet unfortunately! there are stragglers right beside it though...probably give em some more time. good eye!

[@RickD643]

thanks for sharing, always pick up a tip or two

[@PepperGuru]

Glad it helped!

[@cedarmyers6709]

What is that stapler-like tool you have for fixing plants to stakes? It looks great! Is it finicky?

[@PepperGuru]

It's sooo nice to have. It's called a plant stapler! Super cheap. Can probably find one for around 20-30 bucks.

[@gavinlee2881]

Awesome mate.

Can anyone watch the whole video and then not have an urge to grow some Capsicum?

I think not!

[@chompers11]

I saw on another channel you said balanced npk is what you like? Any other sneaky tips?? this is so helpful thanks. AMAZING channel I cant wait to watch em all. I went nuts for peppers in peru a long time ago and just got my first aji amarillo last year to harvest. Charapita, rocoto, grenada and some more this year.

[@PepperGuru]

Nice! Peruvian classics!

[@andyh7537]

[@bausgrows]

Excellent video! Really well done, thank you!

[@PepperGuru]

Thanks for watching!

[@lautenmacher]

is that 100% compost in your fabric pots? I've noted that a few growers in the U.K. are using mostly compost and getting huge plants. I've been told not to use more than 10% for best drainage. I'd rather have bigger plants! Your videos are a pleasure to watch and a perfect manual, great job!

[@PepperGuru]

100% Yes sir. A proper humus compost should drain very well.

[@lautenmacher]

@@PepperGuru that is a very important distinction. Not all compost is completely broken down into humus. Ahem...like mine! Still learning how to get that in my context. Thanks for clarification.

[@PepperGuru]

@@lautenmacher exactly. Not all composts are created equal and therefore some growers perception of “compost” is severely limited.

[@danblakeman4181]

@@PepperGuru how does one determine if it's "proper" or not? I am trying mushroom compost from a local nursery this year and it looks much like what you're using here.

[@PepperGuru]

@@danblakeman4181 Humus is dark, organic material that forms soil when plant and animal matter decays. When plants drop leaves, twigs, and other material to the ground, it piles up. This material is called leaf litter or humus or soil. Try to mimic nature and create a proper compost.

[@denesestanley7011]

Thank you

[@PepperGuru]

My pleasure ❤️

[@wayne_kepner]

Amazing video thank you

[@PepperGuru]

Our pleasure!

[@5starr1]

Thank you so much for this can't wait to use some of these techniques this coming season! are you using 10 gallon grow bags? Also what do you call that type of drip hose that you have in the grow bags? I've been trying to find an irrigation system that works well with grow bags and yours seems exactly what I was picturing my mind. Where did you get your system from?

[@PepperGuru]

The bags I planted into at the end are #15 gallon smarties. The drip rings I fabricated myself out of a combination of solid 1/4 inch and drip 1/4 inch with T’s. I should do a video on those!

[@5starr1]

Thank you so much for the info! I feel like rings like that are far better than the micro sprayers. Definitely looking forward to seeing a video on your system if you are able to make it! @@PepperGuru

[@DSugarB]

Been watching this video a bunch lately , getting close to crunch time ❤️ Awesome video man , when you transplant your seedlings to the 3.5 inch cells are you using the mycorrhizae at all ?

[@PepperGuru]

Awesome thank you! The compost I pot up into already has a healthy fungal and bacterial population, so I prefer to stick with those species rather than bagged inoculant. When I plant out into final containers, it’s the same situation and then I start hitting with IMO. So in essence, I opt for the indigenous fungal and bacterial life already present in my compost and then my inputs.

[@_Lightning_Dog_]

Blissful! Please tell what kind of rooter cubes you are using there? Am I correct in thinking the rooter cubes make life as easy as possible for the wild ones and that’s why the wild ones get started in those versus the 3 part mix that the domesticated peppers get started in? Regarding the 3 part mix…is equal parts of each by volume? Many thanks in advance!!

[@PepperGuru]

Precisely. Rooter plugs provide the perfect oxygen to moisture exchange, where as mediums can often dry out or hold too much moisture. As for the starter mix I blend here in this video, I shoot for around 50-70 percent organic matter and then 20-30 percent aerators. I just eye ball it most of the time.

[@uduigwomeaustin623]

What are the names of what he mixed?

[@PepperGuru]

The captions should be burned into the video at those time stamps. I list them out along with possible alternatives you could use instead. Give it another spin and see if you catch them all!

[@ADMK7350]

how many liters of planterbag do you use?

[@PepperGuru]

I use all sizes from #15 gallons all the way up to 200 gallons, but most of these are in #15 gallon smarties.

[@suerobb6597]

I’m sorry if this is a stupid question… Do you make your own humus compost or can I buy it?

[@PepperGuru]

Everything’s best homemade, but the compost you see in this video was purchased locally.

[@eriks8382]

Day 44, best I can do is two cotelydons on my habanero peppers :(

[@PepperGuru]

This video is definitely for you then! Thanks for watching!
