Mad Hatter Pepper plants seems to be a real champ when temps get on the hotter side. Hot Cayenne Pepper plants also seem to perform well when temps get on the hotter side.

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

I would advise everyone who's used to picking peppers like jalapenos early to set aside just one plant and let the fruit ripen all the way up. See if it tastes better or worse to you. The flavor is very different, usually with little to none of that "green" bitterness, somewhat more heat and a good deal more sweetness and nice pepper taste. You may decide the smaller overall yield is well worth the wait for tastier peppers. I don't care much for green jalapenos or serranos, but I really enjoy them red. If I want higher yields I just grow more plants.

[@gsanchez7154]

Thank you for this great video very informative for me. I'm first time pepper grower I have about 40 habanero plants and 2 ghost peppers. I grew them from seeds and I'm so proud of them. All by watching your videos. Again thank you so much.

That brings a smile to my face - I'm so glad we've been a help! I hope you have a plan for all your habaneros 😊

I've used the upside-down bucket trick quite often on my younger (or shorter) pepper plants. Particularly when there is going to be an overnight storm. I like to put a brick on top of the bucket to keep it from blowing away. The next morning I remove the bucket and I like to think that the plant is saying, "Ahhh! Good morning! Thanks for the assist last night!"

[@PepperGeek]

😁 Nice. The brick is a good touch.

Thanks for another super informative video. I live in Japan and the summer temperature here is super high, which I previously thought was ideal for peppers. However, seeing that most of my plants have died, or are dying while being in direct sunlight/heat, I will definitely start using shade cloths, for the remaining ones. The watering part is something I need to work on as well. Thanks again.

Grow shades and saucers/water spikes. Keep them away from direct desert sunlight (they only need 10-20% UV and keep the soil moist. Both items help with this. Partial burying the bag in native soil has been helpful for me as well, but it's labor intensive.

[@roygilbert8362]

Peppers doing well with one exception. Last year we planted a poblano plant and got ONE pepper. This year the same with a new plant. Foliage is beautiful and green but after the one pepper no flowers or peppers.

[@PepperGeek]

Hm, are the plants large? Sometimes a small pepper will steal away all the energy of a small pepper plant, forcing it to focus on growing the pepper and not growing larger/more foliage. Early in the season we recommend picking off those early peppers and letting the plant get big and tall/bushy. Then let the flowers come and set fruit. Sometimes low humidity and/or high heat can lead to flower drop too.

Thought I could just put them out there as seed into ground but it never got that hot to germinate the seeds but now they are growing about 12 inches high but starting them inside as seed I should have done.

I've read peppers would rather be underwater than overwatered. I water once about every 5 days in 11 litre pots ,and as you say less Nitrogen in middle to later plant life and more Phosphorous and pottasium,I also find misting 3 times daily and hand pollinating has eliminated flower drop, misting also makes stigma sticky and more accepting of pollen grain,I also give occasional boiled egg water feed for calcium and I have virtually no flower drop any way must be doing something right, love your videos keep up good work👍👍😄😄

Awesome, thanks for sharing those tips. Misting can help with flower drop if the air is super dry!

[@SciaticaDrums]

I'm in central MA at 1,100 feet above sea level, your plants are so much bigger than mine but that's expected, we're probably three weeks behind you at least because of location and elevation. My plants are doing super well so far following your tips. And Fox Farms is awesome stuff.

Thank you for this great source of facts. I would like your view on the problem with my peppers that there aren’t much leaves at the top because of which not all peppers below are shadowed. Apart from pruning what more can be done ? Also I had given banana peel for potassium rise. Awaiting your help here. Thank you.

[@PepperGeek]

It might be lack of nutrients, I wouldn’t prune any, just feed a balanced fertilizer to help the plant fill out. It could also be pests. Aphids and thrips tend to feed on the new, active growth (the upper leaves) first. Check for pests!

[@brandyjaques6865]

Thank you, if my plants are still small but producing flowers and small peppers,and I still have about 85 days till 1st frost, should I go ahead and cut off all the blossoms. Is it the same for early jalapeños , bell, Serrano, and Thai peppers? Thank you so much would appreciate your help!

When it comes to Havasu peppers do you want to wait for them to completely mature before you pick them or do you want to pick them a little early like jalapenos?

Especially the jalapeños.

[@CoryBrunnemann]

my ghost and reaper plants are starting to produce flowers, they're in 5 gallon pots and they're only about 1 foot to 1.5 feet tall.. should I pick those pods off before they start flowering? I've heard you say maybe to do that to continue it producing leaves and height?

[@maureensanta1804]

Those are great tips & I hv followed them religiously & my habanero & scotch bonnet peppers I started from seed March sprouted very well, grew beautifully indoor at 3 inches with nice leaves, transplanted them in bigger containers for outside & now it’s been over 3 months & just grew an inch & hv lots of other shoots but still 4 inches. They looks really good but not getting any taller. I had planted them e we it’s blood & bone meal. I’m in zone 3a (Edmonton). What hv I done wrong & they get at least 6 hrs on a good warm sunny day 🙏🏾

[@PepperGeek]

Hm. That is a tough one. I would maybe try giving them a feeding of liquid fertilizer to see if that improves growth. Wait 1-2 weeks after fertilizing to see if that is the cause. Otherwise, it could be the conditions - type of soil, cold nights, compacted soil, pH balance, etc. Hope they take off soon!

Wow I just found your channel. Great information. I am having trouble with blossom end rot. Here in Texas we have been over 100 most days since early May. We have lots of wind and very low humidity. I grow in 5 gallon buckets with drainage holes in the bottom and around the sides. I water when the top 2” of soil is dry, which means I water just about everyday. I use 40% shade cloth. I open it in the morning and close it between 12 and 2 depending on how hot it gets. Blossom end rot has shown up mostly on my jalapeños and sweet purple peppers. The sweet banana peppers have not had any trouble. Do you have any suggestions for managing blossom end rot? Thank-you, and I love your channel. I will be buying your book.

[@PepperGeek]

It usually comes down to watering if you're sure it is blossom end rot. Keep it consistent and try not to let the plants get to the point where they are drooping badly. It could also be sun scald. This will usually start out grayish on the fruits, softening the peppers where they are affected. This usually happens late in the day when the sun is lower in the sky and can directly hit the hanging pods. We have had several of our jalapeños succumb to it this year!

[@CH-iy4go]

@@PepperGeek thank-you for your reply. I called it blossom end rot because I saw one of your other videos and my peppers looked just like the examples you showed of blossom end rot. I am new to hardening here in Texas trying to figure out the extreme heat, wind, and extremely low humidity. I think I will use the shade cloth earlier in the day on the peppers. I water just about every day because of all the factors I just mentioned, so maybe even with drainage holes the bottom of the bucket is too wet while the top half gets too dry. I think there is a fine line with the harsh conditions. Frankly, I am happy to have a producing garden at all. Most locals have lost there entire garden this year. Thanks again

So I live in central Florida. What should I do when it rains everyday? I’m dealing with blossom end rot on my ghost peppers only. It’s from rain everyday. My peppers are in a raised bed. I watered everyday and I left it to the rain since we hit our stride with the rainy season. However some days it rains so much it causes concern for me. I have lots of pepper varieties but only my ghost peppers have been hit with BER

[@jimjones1117]

I have the same problem with ber on my reaper plant

[@PepperGeek]

Hm, well I'd make sure those beds drain really well by working in compost, or if you need to, sand or peat moss. You want the soil to have a good balance of water retention and drainage.

[@nikfranko9959]

Thanks so much for responding I’ll keep playing around and see what happens. I have a raised bed that uses a lot of plant matter in the base and peat moss in the mix. We’ve also had very high heat this year. So I’m seeing a lot of wilting even w h daily watering. I haven’t tried the mulch method you use or the shade cloth. Although dropping is a different problem than over watering. Anyways , Thanks for all the awesome videos and information. 🙏🍻

Blossom drop is common in hot weather. Not much you can do other than try to alleviate the heat stress. Super low humidity can affect pollen viability too, so pollination may be an issue if your climate is arid

[@PepperGeek]

You're not the first to have this issue, specifically with reapers. *Where did you get your seeds?* Sometimes, accidental crossed seeds can produce infertile/sterile plants (where the flowers will not produce pollen). Check to see if the flowers have any pollen grains falling out while they're fully open. If not, and the anthers are totally free of pollen, this could be it. If other peppers are producing nearby, this is all I can think of as a cause..
