- In this video, I share a 3-month update on growing our Dorset Naga chili plants. These plants are large, but have run into a few issues along the way so far. I am hoping they will perk up and perform once they move outside in a few weeks!

Interesting, it has quite the stem and leaves compared to any of the basic peppers I've grown! Should be a fun growing competition!
Welcome to my world in the summer here on the east coast of FL. Plants stay wet 24/7 due to rain and the high humidity. Hence my attempt this year to get the majority of my harvest before August when the dog days really hit. Thanks for the update and they look really nice👌
Any tips on getting the stems really fat like that? You should do a video covering that if possibole
Ours are doing OK. We kept them in the greenhouse and now its time to pot up.
Those are two impressive plants cant wait to see how big they get and how much they produce
You have a couple of fine looking plants there that are off to a good start. So much can change as this growing season takes off. Will be very enjoyably interesting to see how you and Shaun level up during the Dorset Naga Challenge of 2023! Keep It Spicy! -Bob...
I grew Dorset naga in Devon, England for several years in a row. I found that they grew well and didn't suffer from endema. As you know, the Dorset naga was created by seaspring seeds in Dorset, England, which was right next door to me, so I had the same growing conditions. My last plant was grown in a 200 litre (50 gallon) container and I got a very big plant with hundreds of.chillies from it at the end of the season. Lots of support.needed from canes and string, though.
Looking good!
Mr Geek, can you please do a video on the different types of pepper plant diseases/viruses? I have a cayenne that is suffering from yellowing of the leaves that looks like mosaic. I'd like to know more about the different types of diseases. Thanks for all the info!
Had my best year for pepper germination, sorry not growing that variety good luck geek!!
Your plants look beautiful, and I had a serious problem with growing my young tomato plants indoors. I discovered that my vapor pressure deficit was too high (low humidity), and it caused my tomato plants to take up to much water too quickly. I corrected it with a humidifier and they seem to be doing better now. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and happy Gardening.
V.p.d. is the key for success with indoor growing! Lots of free charts available.
Hopefully, getting them hardened off and outside will really help out!
You go man! Shaun (ChilliChump) has got some competition! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Sweet :)
Big old leaves on them I got one looking good flower in may hopefully few dozen at least to harvest maybe a hundred....
i seem to only be having issues with my oddball pepper varieties. My jalapeno, banana, shishito and bell pepper plants are all going as normal, some a bit above average this year. However i have about 9 other varieties that range from sweet italian peppers to ultra spicy and they are all having issues with the humidity this year
Hi I have only just found your videos I find them very informative.
I have a question for you, I have had no success with getting any peppers to grow, if the start to grow I find a small hole around the stalk at the top and when I look inside the seeds have turned brown I don’t know why.
So this year I decided to put a couple of plants in my conservatory where it’s sunny and warm but I have blinds I can pull down. Unfortunately I pruned one of the peppers but it may be smallish but it’s flowering away. The other one same seeds has grown tall and the leaves where growing really big, I pruned it because it was becoming a Triffid 😮
The question and advice I would like you to help me with is why? are the leaves turning over, they are not in full sun they are in a light warm area on a window sill.
Any advice you can give me would be appreciated I was so hoping that this year I could actually enjoy my own peppers.
I'm having different challenges. My Dorset Naga plants are all still ridiculously low to the ground, up to a foot in diameter but the tallest is still under 6" tall. I started many other peppers around the same time and all are much larger. I have seen this before in c. chinense cultivars but never to this extreme.
I've had no issues with leaf edema, but the low growth habit has made one of the two I put in-ground very vulnerable to slugs during recent rainy stretches. I put a beer trap next to this plant and it has finally also decided it needs to add a little verticality. The other in-ground Dorset Naga is in a bed with no slugs, so its leaves are beautiful but still ridiculously low. The third one is the smallest, and still in a 5" square pot safely up on an outdoor table. Right now it looks like I am losing this race badly, even though ours were similar in size early on. i would not be surprised if several of my c. baccatum and Tabanero plants out-grow and out-produce my Dorset Nagas -- I've even had quite huge and productive c. annuum plants at times.
Interesting, it's funny how much variation we can get from one plant to another, even in our own gardens. Hopefully as the season wears on the nagas will take off and do what they are supposed to do!
@@PepperGeek All 3 of mine have the same growth habit so far so it may be partly growing conditions. There are a lot of tips out there for how to deal with "leggy" seedlings, but I haven't seen any tips on what to do when they are at the opposite extreme! At least being outdoors in real sunlight seems to be making them perk up a bit; they have only been out for 1-2 weeks.
I had huge problems germinating my super hots this year, it was really weird. Not one seed germinated from my first round germinated and I tried some of my old habanero seeds when I planted the mild to hot ones, thankfully that one sprouted and is a healthy plant. I'm not sure what I did during the first round of planting haha
When I do super hots, I always soak the seeds in concentrated plain black tea.
I fill a small mug with boiling water, stick the tea bag in, and once it’s completely cooled down, I remove the bag and add the seeds. I let them soak 24 hours. I then sow them in my starting trays.
I always seem to have better germination rates with super hots than other people I know, so it’s worth a shot.
Wow i plant more than 100 peppr seeds in a 20*100 cm pot. I guess they wont have enough space. I didnt know the plant is getting this big. I was too excited😅 while planting
If anyone could help I'm have a hard time trying to harden off one of my peppers it wilts instantly when it's moved outside and it seems to take a while to perk up unlike the others
Where did you get your seeds?
When indoors, use VPD charts to keep plants in the ideal range. It is this vapor pressure differential that drives transpiration
I run a dehumidifier.

Seems like the only real way to settle the ChiliChump competition is a super-hot tasting contest
😅
Not Dorset Nagas, but my Bhut Orange Copenhagens are 100cm+ and my Red Habaneros 75cm+ - seeds started mid January, and they just got transferred from inside to the Greenhouse. This in Denmark so pretty far north, but days are long now and the sun has been shining a lot.
any sugestion where I can buy peppers seeds? I am trying Amazon but is not good seeds
My recommendations are:
Baker Creek Seeds
White Hot Peppers
MIGardener
MIGardener will be the cheapest, but the smallest selection. ($2 a pack)
Baker Creek is the old favorite and has a lot of interesting varieties. (Typically $2.50-$4 a pack)
White Hot Peppers has varieties you won’t find anywhere else. Major pepper enthusiast source. It’ll be the highest priced ($4 a pack), but you’ll find special stuff that no one else has.

Grown many chilli plants but for me Carolina reaper is really bad for edmea, u was shocked, had grown other chilli plants never had it but out of my 7, 5 have it bad, the other two not so much yet chilli plants around fine. Maybe it's a batch issue or a strain I have no idea, I don't love to far from Dorset 😂 could ask
The best way I've found to germinate peppers is a ziplock, damp/wet paper towel with some rooting hormone powder on a heat mat. Only takes a few days to a week to germinate pepper seeds. That rooting hormone powder is magic on seed germinating.
Where are you guys from? Do you plan on planting those nagas outside?
Have you tried ELECTROCULTURE? - great boost to plants
Trying to be a Pepper Geek myself but more of a Dweeb. Do you have a soil mix recipe? Or prefered potting mix? Thanks
We like happy frog from fox farm. Can be pricey, especially online but many nurseries carry it
