Hi folks, hope you enjoyed this one. Wanted to add a quick clarification that the potting mix can use any plain compost! I have just found that sylvagrow is my favourite and most reliable peat free product I can buy. Happy growing all!
Really enjoying this series JB 👍. I'm a complete rank amateur with chillis and peppers but having a go this year and following both yours and Chillichumps advice and guidance. The master and the padawan 🤣
Hi JB, what a brilliant video! I do grow sweet peppers, not the hot ones, oh I just couldn't cope with the heat 🤣 good tips on when to repot & a guide to what size, too. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
wow, i think i just understood why my peppers didn't produce too much last year! too big container! it is so logical! thanks for this info JB, i will try a bit smaller size this year!
Hey JB, awesome video as always. My peppers have germinated, got about 4 or 5 true leaves but they dont seem to be growing much now. Any tips? Maybe im just being impatient 🤣
Great video 🙂 Because you’ve used blood fish and bone does that mean you don’t need to weekly feed with seaweed? I’m potting on my peppers this week, and I think your method sounds more suited to my time if that means no weekly feed required :) thank you
the silver grow compost is very pricy when u have to get thought amazon :( but it looks very very good to what i bought before that was all grass cutting and only fit for the garden might get some onions growing now
Hey JB, I really like this series looking forward the them as the season goes. Do you ever top your pepper / chillies plants. I am thinking to do at least half this way this year. Do you have an opinion one way or the other? Take care Cya next time
Thanks so much! I don't personally top for the same reason I was saying damaging roots can really set you back. Every bit of pepper growth is precious to us with such a limited window! Topping can help the structure and I'm going to experiment with it a bit thus year
Great question! I cover that in part 2 ruclips.net/video/k_UZNJmA2dY/видео.htmlsi=9ke2vLTiKOhYpaL6 but the quick answer is that you can set it to around 20 if you have a cool room, but if it's a warm cozy room you can switch it off.
Thanks, that's great to know 👍. My success rate with propogation is not as good as yours, only 50% of the cells in one tray, so I think it best that I transplant some that have propogated earlier rather than keep them baking at 28degsC.
Hi JB, my chilli’s have germinated, do I need to keep them on a heat mat still or can they just be under grow lights? The room is fairly warm most of the day and night
Have a look at episode 2 for the answer to that question and seedling care tips 😁 the short answer is that heat mat can go off if they're in a warm room, but leave it on if it's cold :)
This might sound a bit thick but if you have been given some pots and there isn’t a stamp on it, how do you know what litreage it is. Some are tall or short, round or square so the diameter isn’t a help. Would I have to measure compost into a ltr jug and fill it up. I might be over thinking this 😂
Yeah that's a great question! If it doesn't say it on the bottom the best thing you can do is guess really, or try and get fancy with a volume calculator of some kind. Elixir Gardens pot's have a BRILLIANT conversion chart (not affilliated): elixirgardensupplies.co.uk/product/black-round-plant-pots/ . Getting the tape measure out and comparing with those measurements should give you a good idea. The sizes I talk about only have to be a rough guide. If I say 5 litres then 4-6 litres will be similar!
@@daveawebberit depends on the room temperature, I do leave them on heat atm simply because my house is pretty cold, I have a heat mat with a very basic temperature control and put them on the lowest setting. It keeps the soil temperature about 12-15°C which they prefer. They will sulk if you go too cold too quickly. It does mean you have to watch the watering though as the soil dries out quicker.
Sadly I thought just sowing 2 seeds per pot would mean at least 1 would germinate, I've waited 5 weeks and only have 4 chillies, ho hum, won't make that mistake next year 😅. Jo Devon 🙂
Why did everyone tell me to use 7 gallon (26.5 liter) grow bags? Maybe because I have a very long grow season? I’m putting 1 plant per bag to maximize the space. Of course green onions or some other companion will be in there as well, but you are using such tiny little pots, I don’t get that.
Are you in the UK? This guide is very much aimed at UK Beginners. If you're across the pond or really know what you're doing you can get a great plant from those massive containers.
@@JBNat Yes, I’m in Texas. I have plenty of room outside and will have 50 of these grow bags. I’ve grown chilis for years, just a few at a time in 5 gallon buckets, so this is a big step for me. I consider myself a newbie.
Yeah it's a whole other level over there! They will grow readily. A lot of the tips still apply but throw out the pot size rules because they will grow so so much faster where you are! Can go from small to 5 litres to final pot probably.

I got a shed load of tips from watching your video today. Very informative
that grow light looks ideal for those chilli plants, i might invest in one :)
Enjoying these videos and just started growing chillies. Bit of a challenge down here in the falklands but its going good so far.
Really enjoying this series JB 👍. I'm a complete rank amateur with chillis and peppers but having a go this year and following both yours and Chillichumps advice and guidance. The master and the padawan 🤣
Thankyou for this, growing chilli on a massive scale this year down my allotment to make a chilli sauce company ❤😊
Amazing! Good luck!
How are you a young Bob Ross? What a nice chap.
Hahahaha thank you very much, I'm a big bob ross fan
Ah yes - that is so true!!! JB Ross… 😂

Thank you for the good growing advice.
🐝 Thanks for the great video 🌻 pepperrrsss yheaaa
Spot on🌶️🤗👍
wow, i think i just understood why my peppers didn't produce too much last year! too big container! it is so logical! thanks for this info JB, i will try a bit smaller size this year!
Good luck! I had exactly the same last year even with all my experience!

Quality video again. I'm hoping for a bumper crop this year 👍

Yes buying sylvagrow from amazon is absolutely crazy money!! They have an online store checker but I know it can be hard to get hold of.

Thanks JB. So helpful. Is there something to be said for using warm water to water them in - try to avoid the shock of being moved? X
Yes absolutely! I don't use warm, but always room temperature - and I covered that in a previous guide episode 😊
Great video series thank you. What temp did you set your heated propogator base once you removed the dome cover? Thanks

Fantastisch Good chills pepers best friend Top men 🌶️🌱👍
Is Ring of Fire a good one to grow in our UK climate ?
Yes! I find it really productive and it has relatively early harvests.
@@JBNat thanks for the lightning fast response, i will give it a go in 2025
Ðo you get alot of fungus gnats with that compost?
Only if it's been left around outside for far too long. If it's fresh it should be fine.

Hi jb am I to late to start some new chillies as first lot failed .
Not at all! Still loads of time yet.
Thanks jb
Orders some new seeds from chillichumbsseeds

Thank you JB great instruction with clear explanations. Hopefully i won’t have any more cock ups 😂
Once potted on do you still leave them on a heat mat or just the lights

Yep the comment from druids is correct! I cover that exact bit in episode 2 as well 😊

Oh no Jo! Where were your seeds from!? Still time to sow more if you want another go
👍
