@@cyclicl7312 Seeds from this exact plant can be purchased at Broussards Farm or perhaps coaxed out of Jim Thommes on facebook. I donated all the fruit from this plant to those two people.
No shade cloth this season. Full direct sun for 8-10 hours a day. Thanks for tuning in and checking it out! Can't wait to see you and Shaun's totals. I'll do another update upon next harvest!
@@dean-Conjured-Vaporz They’ve been helping dad with his peppers since they were old enough to walk. They are over it 🤣 Takes some persuasion now a days.
Every time I watch a video where I can admire your pepper plants, I'm amazed at how majestic they are, how healthy they are and how many peppers they can produce!
Appreciate it! Latest start to date for us, so I doubt we will beat Sea Spring’s pod count with only half the length of time from seed but it’s fun either way!
2kg is less than I expected tbh. I got 1.1 kg from my top producing 2ft habanero plant growing in part shade in my cool zone 5 climate. My top producing baccatum was 1.88kg, from a 3-4ft plant. If you include overwintered plants, my top producer was a shepherd pepper with 2.23kg of ripe fruit, all picked about 6 weeks before the first frost (plant seemed too exhausted for an additional flush) - still a small 2-3ft tall plant though. Did you end up harvesting more later in the season?
Someone hasn’t kept up with this series! There are two other videos. This plant produced 9 kilos in under 7 months from seed and even got hit with frost pretty hard. Generally our plants that we enter into the growdowns every year on Thehotpepper produce anywhere from 10-15 kilos in a single season from seed. Definitely be sure and check out the other two videos! Thanks for watching!
@@PepperGuru Nice! 9-15kg is proper beast mode production. I haven't grown these sorts of peppers, and my season is probably too short for it to be truly worthwhile to attempt, but it's impressive to watch.
Wow very impressive. Chiliwelten and Chili Garten Freak are also starting a challenge in 2024, the biggest chili. Hi, I'm excited. Sounds funny. May I ask how much volume your container holds? Many greetings from Bavaria/Germany Matthew Übersetzen
Dude, WTF? I saw the picture of video and thought man that would be so cool to have a plant that could grow for years. You started this monster in march? That’s insane!
What a beautiful plant and great harvest! Keep up the great work, really enjoy the videos you publish and constantly in awe of the size of your plants!
Loved this - thank you - such modesty and easy gratitude. Good on you. I grow a lot of chillies and I will be taking your advice about cages when I go after the naga.
Well nourished plants in real living soil don’t often make good hosts for outbreaks of pests, but if it ever happens, then sulfur and pyrethrin are my preferred treatments.
easier way to count the peppers for an estimate is to weigh 10 randoms then just divide the total weight by the weight of averaged individual pepper. itll be quite accurate.
Trust me, I didn’t want to count them, but that’s how Shawn and Calvin were doing things, so a counting we went! For the annual growdowns I host every year on Thehotpepper we only weigh them. I’m my opinion, weight is more important than count. Great idea though! 😊
Awesome job Rich/ Pepper guru. Looked awesome. As much as I’d like to cage my plants, I’d buy out tractor supply of fencing. I’m @ about 1500 plants. Love your videos you inspire me to want to get back to enjoying growing. I have ideas that’s a mash of yours and others for my hobby grow in a few years.
One great thing about maximizing yield per plant is no longer needing to grow so many! If you’re yielding 10-15 kilos from a single plant…no need to grow 45 small ones all jammed together in a row. Plenty of ways to skin a cat though and I’m glad it’s got your gears spinning! Inspiration is important. Keep it fun and if it ever becomes a burden rather than a blessing, we’ve made a mistake along the way. Thanks for checking it out dude!
Woah never seen chilli plants looking so huge abd healthy, very impressive, I'm actually not that far from Dorset (beautiful coastlines for the uk). I need to grow thde next year I'm late now. The red hair also reminds me of chilli, really awesome 👍
@@PepperGuru unfortunately I don’t have them, rabbits ate them before I got home from a 10 day Mexico trip, but…. I got SRTSL Chocolate. And they are worth sharing and continuing
Increasingly ever present amounts of direct sun, nutrient input, and loose airy, living soil food web in a giant container. Pretty straightforward stuff. No amount of human manipulation will increase yield or biomass. No amount of pruning, training etc. Only the fundamentals, in abundance.
@@doatonlee2912 The seeds from this plant were donated to Crystal Broussard and Jim Thommes on Facebook. They offer them for purchase and trade I believe. Just tell them Rich sent you.
How you get it that big? I heard with cannabis you’ll have to start indoors with the plants and in spring you have to bring them outdoors is it the same for peppers, I have grown peppers in ground so roots could have unlimited space to grow
We stick to the fundamentals and learn from our experiences. There aren’t any tricks or wizardry at play here. You can do this too if you focus on the fundamentals of light intensity, soil quality, container capacity, and continued nutrient density in the medium. Thanks for watching!
I don’t sell seeds currently. But stay tuned into the website for when that happens. Jim Thommes received the first box of these and deseeded them. I believe he will have them available.
Amazing! Do you pick off early flowers? My pepper plants always push out their first flowers at 6 - 8 weeks on the first node split. Normally I just let them do their thing since I'm extremely limted by space and only use 10L grow bags so they don't get massive any way. This year I'm planning to grow 4x Kishmiri Mirch plants in 40L bags with cages and my goal is to get as big a harvest as possible so I'm curious to know if removing flowers early on has a significant impact on the harvest amount.
No. I used to believe that delusion 27 years ago at the age of 10 and practiced it for quite a number of seasons. Through proper experimentation and years of experience, I found out the hard way that it was all nonsense. We can never create more biomass by removing the potential for it. Whether that’s topping, pruning, or pinching flowers. Every flower you pinch, every branch you prune or top, could’ve been more peppers. Once you understand the fractal growth habit of capsicum and simple math, it becomes quite clear. The ONLY things that increase yield are root zone capacity/soil quality, light intensity and nutrient density. No tricks, manipulations or gimmicks will ever increase yield. Only the fundamentals can do this. If your seedlings are started under optimal conditions they should be flowering right from the start. Capsicum isn’t photoperiodic and therefore doesn’t have “flowering or vegetative” stages. That’s bad theory crossover from the cannabis scene. Bottom line is the best way to learn is to fail…I used to fail by pinching flowers and topping/pruning. Now I know better.
@@PepperGuru Thanks for the detailed reply, I really appreciate it. This is only my third year growing peppers so being able to draw knowledge from people such as yourself that has lots of experience, and the results to back it up, is extremely valuable.
@@quantumxoc6235 anytime! You’ll find people still holding on to bad theory that insist on doing so, and that’s fine. I prefer to use science, logic and results to guide me. Everyone has their own path, which may be ever changing, I just do what works for me, and what works for me is yield. Everyone’s goals are different. Enjoy the ride and never stop learning.
So cool! I'm not a fan of really hot peppers but I sure would like to grow a plant that size with bell or jalapeno. What part of the country are you in?
Most Capsicum species can be grown to this size, with a few dwarf exceptions. Also, zone of the country is much less important than you’d assume. I know growers much farther north than I that KILL IT! I’m in Atlanta. Location isn’t as important as the fundamentals.
@@PepperGuru thank you for your response. I'm in Tennessee. I have Bell, Banana and Jalapeno in the dirt as we speak. With the cooler temps and shorter days, they're on the way out. I have had a great yield this year. I till in manure compost then I use fish guts, blood meal and bone meal when I plant. That's all I use for the entire growing. Just gonna have to follow your channel. Sure would like to have a plant like yours loaded with pepper.
@@PepperGuru I'm from Nagaland...but I'm planning off season cultivation in temparature and humidity controlled polyhouse which is winter for naga chilli...this year I'm going for some experimental cultivation with hidrophonic tower...if I get 70% of its actual yeild I think I'll be good to go...so my question is do you think I'll be able to get that kind of outcome ?
@@tanmoybarman7561 Root zone capacity is important so, if your tower provides the potential for the roots to grow to a larger size, then sure! No reason why not!
