10 thumbs up to you, your videos are enjoyable to watch.
LoL Rob, “Greetngs” from winters Minneapolis . 6:20 mark
I really enjoy your work and videos. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Rob! I love rewatching your videos, for fun and as needed for tips. 💕
Dude as a man who's just getting into the many amazing peppers of the world after deciding to make my own sauces I can't get enough of your videos! I also love the songs you do!
Thanks so much!
I absolutely love your organization and your thorough explanation of each step. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom.
Hello Rob,
I am starting to grow hot peppers and I am using your videos for a guide because I find them very helpful. Thank you for creating quality content. All the best to you Sir.
Same to you, Ryan. Good luck with your peppers!
You are nicely organized. And after watching your seed starter video and this one, I think this is going to be fun. After the last couple of years, I feel like I need to be more self sufficient all around and I am starting with growing some of my own food for my family. Thank you for the easy to follow tutorials! 🌶☀️
Thanks for watching!
Nice setup!
2021!!!! Lets go!
Lol, your going to make my Alexa crazy...she keeps apologizing that she's not sure or that she doesn't know that one, every time you say her name! Love your videos, entertaining and informative.
Thanks! I'm going to try to never annoy Alexa in my videos again! 😀🙃
7potters!
Great video, thanks
Oh wow Alexa smart switch on it too!? Damn that is a super nice set up you’ve got. I need more space lol.
I enjoyed your videos on planting peppers. Your videos are helpful. I did subscribe. Thanks.
Thanks for subbing!
I always have some mystery peppers 🌶 lol
I transplant plants into clear plastic “iced coffee, Iced cappuccino” type cups I scrounge from recycle bins. This allows me to see when she has legs (roots). Of course I put drain holes in the bottom and recently the sides as well. If you use a knife to clearly cleave the two seedlings in one segment apart it might be a little better than just ripping them apart.
These videos are very helpful. Last summer, I ordered some seeds of some of my favorite kinds of Asian chilis (that are impossible to find in the US) and I've been so anxious to get them started. It's been 2 weeks and almost all of them are growing like crazy! I've never successfully grown anything from seed to fruit, but then again I never really put a ton of effort into it. Doing it right this time!
Great! I hope they do really well
Slick indeed
I truly enjoy all of your videos. As a new hot pepper grower I think the hardest decision I have to make is which plants I have to “snip.” It’s sad, really. You planted the seed, excited to see it sprout... then natural selection (with me playing the role of Mother Nature) happens.
Are you going to do another planting series like this for the upcoming season?
Hi Chris! You're right, the snipping is the hardest part. Thanks for watching, and yes I'm definitely going to do another planting series for the upcoming season!
Awesome! I look forward to it. I’m a new pepper grower so it will be a very exciting winter! Good luck.
I guess this is why Phlash Phelps calls it "Minnesnowda"!!
How tall is the seedling before you transplant it to a bigger pot? Also is it ok to grow two seeds on 1 pot with adequate space between them? Thank for the answer in advance. Your channel deserves more likes and subscribers. The information you share with guys like me who just started planting is very helpful. Bless you!! ❤️
I transplant when the seedlings have at least 4-6 true leaves. I do plant multiple seeds together, but post-transplant, I don't grow more than one plant per pot. It will restrict growth of both plants.
Hey Rob, so glad I subscribed, and really enjoy your videos. 2018 was my first year growing hot peppers, I live in Missouri, so I experience a nice long growing season. I grew Reapers, peach Ghost, and Chocolate Trinidad scorpions. I purchased these from a local nursery when they were about 5 to 6 inches tall. I had a very successful season so far, my Reaper plant is amazing and is still producing many pods as of Sept. 4th. Thanks to your videos, I will attempt to grow from seeds next season. I made hot sauce for the first time, and ended up with 12 full bottles, my friends love it and think I should sell some next year, lol. Don't know if I'am ready for market quite yet, but maybe someday. I dried and saved some seeds, but was wondering where you get your unique brands of seeds? Keep up the great videos
Hi KC! Thanks for the kind words. Glad your peppers are doing well this summer. I get seeds from several sources, but I get the vast majority of them from Semillas La Palma in the Canary Islands. I've been buying from them for over a decade, and they have 783 varieties to choose from. www.semillas.de/shop_en/index.html
Rob!! I grow ALL PEPPERS😲
🎵I grow hot peppers 🌶
You are to the point love it!!!❤
Thanks for watching!
@@7PotClub i just sowed some peppers today gearing up for 2020 growing season thanks!!!
Here we are in our pepper garden. lol
Yeah, it is hard to visualize the pepper garden in the middle of winter. But here it is in all its glory: ruclips.net/video/H1CbeNkFfms/видео.html
Because of the ending video I subscribe. Hahaha
great video
Rob your seedlings look great after just four weeks. Do you fertilize? Or credit the lights to there strength and size of true leaves? Thanks big fan!
I do fertilize after several weeks. There is some fertilizer in the potting mix I use. I don't really know what the secret sauce is. It may be the heat mats for the first few weeks.
Hi Rob, I’m starting my seeds now. When do you trim your plants? If at all. Thanks Sam in Pennsylvania
Hi Sam! I don't top all my plants, but I usually wait at least 6-8 weeks before doing any topping.
Hey Rob! Love your content, and you've inspired me to try my own pepper grow this summer. It's my first time, so I'm a little nervous about messing it all up. That said, I have a question regarding these 3.5" pots you're using. I made an order a short while back, and I accidentally ended up ordering 3", and not 3.5". Is the larger size a more mandatory thing, or can I use the 3" ones?
I'm sure the 3" pots will be fine. If you grow them in the pots for about 3 months like I do, just make sure they don't dry out, as the pots will be filled with roots.
@@7PotClub Alright. That makes sense. I appreciate the response! Take care!
Hi Rob. I am very impressed with your videos and your pepper seedlings. Like me, you seem to have a lot of knowledge about gardening and the way you present this knowledge is very engaging and professional. Keep up the great work! I grow a lot of peppers too, hop on over to my channel and check 'em out! Btw love the "I grow hot peppers" part, so cool. Have a good day man. Lucas
Thanks, Lucas. I'm enjoying your channel as well. Keep up the great work! I love how us growers can compare notes via these videos. The "I grow hot peppers" is part of a song I've recorded that I'll be releasing as soon as I have time to complete the video.
Rob you didn't include the only items I wanted to know about. 😂 Where do those cut kit trays come from? (Especially those mint green ones!)
Or aqua.. WHATEVER color. Those are really fun!
High my American friend Johan here from South Africa want to start farming with Hot Peppers
1.) I want to buy Habineros from a Nursery I saw 18 Habanero plants about 20 cm high 10 inches one already got 5 fruit on and other 12 got flowers at 20 cm high they look a bit bushy but not much and I want to know why they already come out so early and so small plant?
2.) Then must I prune the other 12 plants flowers in the middle so it can make a big plant? Or must I only plant them out in bigger 9-inch pots with new compost?
3.) Then it is close to winter end of April can I take them in the house after they give their fruit and trim them and keep them where they get sun in the afternoon on the west side. Or must I give them light? Greetings Johan South Africa
Hello Johan. 1) It's not unusual that plants in a small container will start flowering and fruiting when still quite small. It's not a problem, but some people pinch off the flowers to encourage more plant growth. 2) If you are new growing peppers, I would not prune them your first year. They will be fine without it. 3) I always repot plants I bring back inside so I don't bring pests into the house. You probably can overwinter with just window light, but I usually use a grow light because I don't have a sunny enough window.
@@7PotClub Thank you Rob, i will keep you update
Hi Rob. My pepper seedlings are a bit leggy. Can I bury the stem abit deeper when transplanting?
Definitely you can
What day did you start the planting process. Starting from seeds before transplanting?
The first week of February.
Hi Rob, very informative videos! Question for you. I'm in Wisconsin and am looking at growing indoors. My basement stays cooler year round as I'm sure yours does as well. Do you supplement any heat when growing in the basement or after the plants are seedlings they can handle the cooler temps?
Thanks Adam! We have a boiler and radiators, so there are hot water pipes running along the basement ceiling. Even though they are insulated, they still keep the basement in the 60s even during the coldest days.
@@7PotClub thanks for the reply! I'll keep that in mind when I setup my grow area.
Hi, at what stage do I take the lid off the propagator (the seedlings are about an inch high) also do I add fertiliser such as fish blood and bone meal to the mix as a transplant them?
love your channel and videos there awsome.
Thanks! Once they all sprout you can take off the dome. I don't use additional fertilizer until a couple weeks after I transplant them into the seedling pots, because there is fertilizer in the potting mix I use. Then I use a pretty mild fertilizer until I plant them outdoors.
@@7PotClub Awesome, thank you 😁
Can you transplant sprouts that only have two leaves or a week or two old?
Hi Michael! It might work, but I wouldn't recommend it. Better to wait until they have true leaves.
Hi - love your videos. I'm growing seedlings in coir jiffy pellets. When would you advice to start giving them fertiliser/feed? Thanks =D
Thanks James! I usually don't fertilize until a week or two after I transplant into seedling pots. I believe there is fertilizer in the pellets and that should be enough to hold them until you transplant.
@@7PotClub Thanks amigo and keep up the good work 😁😋👍
Hi Rob, after your seeds first sprouted, what was the time line between taking the tape off the humidity dome and keeping use of the dome and heat mat ?
I can only guess, as I don't really keep a journal. Probably about 3 weeks before I removed the dome, and another week before I removed the heat mat. I don't do it by time, but by how the plants are germinating/growing. When most of the seeds have germinated, I remove the dome. When they start getting near size to transplant, I remove the mat. It is chillier in the basement, and I need to get them used to life without the extra warmth. Hope that helps!
Thank you Rob, and just to clarify, once you see the seeds break soil is the time to take the tape off of the dome, correct ? And fully open ( dome holes) ?
Yes, definitely. They will need air after they break through the soil. Then you have to make sure the soil stays moist since the seal has been broken. You should watch my 2020 planting video. I finally replaced the old domes with new ones that are sturdier and have functioning vents! ruclips.net/video/8tk3VEJSQr4/видео.html
I feel like I have, but I will !! Lol
@@7PotClub thank you for all your help Rob !
hey rob, how long do i leave the plants on the heating mat before i remove them for good? how big do they have to be ?
I usually leave them on the mat until I transplant them. But once they have a set of true leaves, it should be OK. My seedlings are never all maturing at the same rate, so I leave them on the mat a little longer.
Rob, approximately how long do your seedlings stay in the segment they germinated in before you move them to a 3inch pot? Or do you just wait for two sets of true leaves? I’m just trying to do some backwards planning. Thanks!
I guess about 2 weeks. I usually wait until they have at least two set of leaves. BTW, I'm going to try 3 inch grow bags this year instead of the pots. Not sure if I'll grow all of the seedlings in the bags, but I definitely want to give them a try.
@@7PotClub good to know, was going to ask this question too. Second year growing any kind of peppers, but this is the first year growing from seed and I am really nervous about when to do what step lol
@@Hexsyn Good luck with your plants, Micah!
Oh yeah what potting mix did you use?
When I made this video I was using Shultz Moisture Plus potting mix. Now I use ProMix Ultimate Organic.
@@7PotClub thank you
I have always used fluorescent grow lights, never tried LEDs. Do you need to have the lights very close to the seedlings, becauseI noticed you have them very high up. Which one would you recommend, because it looks light you have a couple different units there.
Hi Lucas, I switched to LEDs a few years back. The technology advances every year. The ones I recommend are the new Hi-Sdard ones I got this year. I have a link in the description. I need to have them that high up to cover several trays at once. They're bright enough to handle that. The others in my setup are ones I purchased in years past. None of them are as bright as these new units.
Ok thanks Rob. I'll consider it, not sure if I want to spend the money on them right now but definitely soon!
Do you use fertilizer and if you do what kind.
For the transplanted seedlings this year, I used Fox Farm Grow Big. Outdoors I use Fishnure Organic Fish Manure Compost.
Ok thanks for letting me know
How is this free
Rob that seems like a waste of seeds, must feel bad to trim some of the seedlings.
Yes, but it's a lot more disappointing if you plant one seed in a cell and it doesn't germinate. 😀🌱
Tell me about that, I planted the KS Lemon Starburst. I planted 4 seeds and only 1 germinated
Rob where do you get those seeds
Thanks for asking! I get most of my seeds here: www.semillas.de/cgi-bin/shop_en/shop.cgi

7 Pot Club your welcome your videos rock 👍
Rob, I know you like to grow organically so why use Miracle Grow products? They are manufactured by Bayer, the same company that is responsible for GMOs and dangerous pesticides such as glycosphate.
Hi Alan! This video is from 2018, before I switched to organic.
