I had been breaking my head over why my pepper plants were stunted.. These were the classic signs - they were over fertilized. Thanks!
You might want to repot your pepper plant with new soil. Mine just stopped growing and I found that the soil just clump together preventing the root to expand. I took out the old soil and mix perlite and a little of chicken manure compost. Two days later, there are tons of new leaves coming out.
Khang, thanks for the education. Your voice is so soothing.
The overfertilization tip was extremely helpful. Jalapenos and habaneros looking good!
I also have that same problem and thought it was caused by bugs but now I know 😀
Same here my chilli's have looked pretty sad all season. Guess I was killing them with food.
Thanks.....I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast; My habanero's took off when it was Above 85-95+ Degree's It Loved The Sun and Heat....:)
Nice! Habs don't seem to mind the heat. I had one that produced like crazy, even with crazy temperatures.
Which varieties of habaneros do you have?
Your tips are always excellent advises..
greetings from the Galilee
Thank you for breaking down each segment on your video. It's greatly appreciated! 🙂👍
I think it's good to explain things more then once or twice because the second time around the explaination could be more detailed for example and there for beter to understand which is a good thing ;) :).
I'm feeding my apache chilli plants with dryed banna skin and the soaking it in water to liquid feed them .I also use the dryed bannas as a mulch.seems they like a high potassium feed .
Thanks for the helpfull video
Thank you so much for this video. Been stressing out trying to figure out why my plant started looking in such bad shape. Kept thinking it was pests or calcium deficiency but now I'm almost certain it's over fertilization. My plant pretty much looks like yours. I'm hoping it recovers since I never flushed it and it's been over a week now since I had fertilized it. 😮💨
Thanks Khang, I was wondering why a couple of my leaves were wrinkled. That explains it lol
I had a huge aphid problem last year in my greenhouse, introduced ladybugs and they took care of the problem in a couple weeks (have to lay eggs, the nymphs eat the aphids)
Love ladybugs!
How did you add in ladybugs ?
@@abc_cba buy them from your local greenhouse/garden store
This year I've been growing Bhut Jolokia's, Hot Lemon's, Habanero's, Spangle's Twilight and also a sweet variety called Candy Cane. So far the only ones that have produced any fruits are the sweet ones, Candy Cane. All my plants are quite big and did have a lot of flowers on them but they simply wouldn't pollinate and eventually begin to fall off. Thankfully my Jolokia's still have lots of flower buds appearing and opening but no success yet. I live in Scotland so the climate isn't the best, but over the past 5 years I have had a lot of success from indoor grows, but this has been the worst for dropping flowers/buds. The plants all look very healthy, no discolouration etc so I think it may just be the temperature that's affecting them.
thank you for the video! I may have over fertilized my plants ;-)
Brand new subscriber here...I was given a book on hydroponics for my birthday just a few weeks ago... been a Gardener for decades... found this channel and I'm definitely looking forward to trying this soon...I personally like your videos and will continue to follow and look at past videos, as well.
Excellent advice ❣ Clear and well explained. Thanks Bud❣
OMG thank you! I was gonna follow the fox farm fertilizer schedule... probably would have been too much!
Thank you I over fertilized my pepper and though it was pest
this is a very simple, yet informative and useful video. thanks dude
had a golden bell pepper turning yellow, was just getting too much water, had a couple peppers with new leaves that were curling up and dying at the ends, turns out it was over fertilizing. they're looking better just a week later
Another very informative video Khang! Have you ever done a series or play list that deals with reviving "sick" or "ill" plants similar to your coke bottle example towards the start of this video? Nice to see plants with flowers and pods in the great outdoors already. May begin a serious hardening off this week with possible planting towards week's end. Hope you and your family are Staying Safe and Healthy down there. Happy Gardening! -Bob...
Thanks Bob! I should plan for a video dealing with "sick" plants and diseases. It'll be a while since I have to collect evidence and resolution.
Khang, a note regarding nute overload. Doing a slurry to find out ppm of soil near root area 1-2 days after feed tells you more accurately where plant needs are. Depending on TDS model such as TDS 500 a range of 200-400 is key with 300 best.
Hi friends i'm from Indonesia. Beautiful.
Thank you for the timestamps, much appreciated
Nice work Khang, as there is very little information online for pepper blossom dropping. Your video should help a lot of growers.
Thanks for the info, I'm in Houston and my scorpions and reapers either are not flowering or dropping flowers. Hopefully by October they will start producing.
Hey man I’m in Houston as well all my flowers keep falling and aren’t producing fruit are you having problems like this
Hey Khann nice video! After my plants were planted for 2 weeks all my plants got black spot fungus. I had to cut off a lot of foliage it even got to my tomatoes! Everything is fine now. I live across the street from the Galleria and if you ever are over this way i would be honored if you dropped by! I live in Apartments and they let me grow in a certain area! I now have 15 pepper plants 4 squash 2 beans and 4 tomato plants all in containers! I got to tell you I'm having the time of my life i only took up gardening 3 years ago and would relish your opinion! Thanks and I'll see you on U Tube! Joseph Greene is my name!
I took out some pepper plants from the ground into net pots. I used the hydroponic solution you suggested in older videos, and the leaves fell off quickly.
There will be a shocking period. Remember, plants in soil have soil roots. If you take them and place them in water all of a sudden, they need a way to breathe.
@@KhangStarr hmm.. All 10 of them had died! The leaves have fallen, but some of them still have green stems!
Thank you Khang! Your videos are always great and informative, and have helped me a lot in my growing journey. Its the middle of July (in FL) and most of my peppers have been pretty scarce with few flowers and pods. I was starting to wonder but I think its just too hot for them right now. I'll leave the shade cloth on and maybe get some straw mulch to help. My two habanero's are producing really well though despite the heat :) Happy gardening!
2:45 mine was over fertilized. Just water vigorously the plant every day. The over fertilization was over between the 3rd and 4th day.
Very informative. I think repetition is good as there's a lot of information and if the videos are older, people may have missed them or forget what was divulged in the past. :)
Very informative. Thanks for doing this.
I have been following you for years now!!
Dealing with thrips right now. It sucks. So many of the issues look the same it’s hard to tell which issue you have.
Yep, those little b.........
@@redtobertshateshandles Thrips are awful! I really hate them lol
@@KhangStarr they are camouflaged and can play hide and seek too. If they weren't so annoying they would be fun.
Vey good video Khang, very thorough.
Thank you
Marvellous information....my problems are addressed
I got Anaheim,pablono,pimiento,bell pepper,banana,reaper,big Thai hybrid,cayenne,serrano,I also got a unknown pepper,and I put cayenne pollen on my Serrano and the peppers from the serrano are growing
Thank you for the post, your chilli videos are really great and I learned so much from them. I'm only growing a few much smaller plants inside and this is the first year they seem to be doing well for the whole season. I managed to overcome the flower drop problem on my habanero (with a brush) but my cayenne which seemed to fruit so well (15+ peppers on a plant kept relatively small by the pot size) is now dropping smaller fruits. About 8 of the oldest pods have now grown full size and I'm hoping they'll start changing colour in a week or so but it has dropped all the smaller fruits over the last week, first the tiniest ones but now even the ones well longer than a thumbnail. It seems I finally got the watering and fertilisation right this year, the plants look very health and bushy as I kept topping and retopping it. Has my plant simply reached the limit of the pods it can sustain and is now dropping the excess, or is there something that I should be doing to help it out? (I stopped giving any new flowers the brush treatment as I assumed the plant would just drop newly formed pods). I looked everywhere but can't really find much about fruit drop on chillies, most info everywhere is on flower drop, any suggestions?
My go to spicy guru. I've been giving a less than recommended solution of miracle grow fertilizer. So I never thought I'd over fertilize. Had 5 blooms on my plant and now it only has 1 left. :(
Low humidity causes bud drop as well.. mist them slightly with rain water.
Great video. Thank you!
Very informative...many thanks.
useful info! thank you
Thanks for sharing ! 🌹
Thank you. Very clearly explained. 👌🏼👍🏻🌶🌶
What if the peppers are still in kratky, and are booming? Should I not use the bloom nutrients and have it sit in water?
Hello! I love your videos. I also live in Texas, DFW. I was wondering about your yearly schedule for your plants? When do you start hydroponic peppers? When do you plant peppers outdoors for spring and fall? When do you take your peppers indoors? I bought my first grow light and I'm looking to do what you do!
If you're doing hydroponics, you will have to take extra steps to make sure they dont get water or heat stressed. In any part of texas I'd hazard to guess you can treat it aa any other climatic zone and put them outside as soon as the night time temp is over 55F consistently.
I live in new england so i start seeds in march and keep them indoors/greenhouse until about the second week of june.
Thank you for sharing!
Mine always drop when I overwinter. Had it in a sunny spot and only had 1 pepper all season.
Thank you 🙏
thanks, really helpful
Dealing with thrips right now. It sucks. So many of the issues look the same it’s hard to tell which issue you have.
Great vid, very informative
I can't stand aphids and I don't like to use pesticides the bugs in general make it impossible for me to garden outside squirrels too it's so frustrating. I think I might get a greenhouse.
The leaves have holes in them. What it's eating them? I don't see any bugs!
Have you checked for slugs? They usually only come out at night.
Khang how do I get one of my hot sauces to you for review or maybe a few seed varieties of yours ?
Can you make a video on how to deal with aphids?
aphids are pretty easy to deal with. You can blast them off with a hose, or squish them with your hands. When you squish them, leave their dead bodies on the plants. They will sense danger and leave that plant. Also, if your soil is high in nitrogen, you will attract them. Ants also carry them around. Find out if you have these sugar ants around your plants and get rid of them. I have a video on how to do that, browse my channel.
My area got a lot of light rain yesterday. It rained for approximately 14 hours because Herricane Henri hit land 600+ miles east of my location. We didn't have high winds or anything just a really long, steady, light to moderate rain. My jalapeno plant dropped some of it's bulbs that weren't flowers yet when I checked it after it stopped raining. Should I be concerned or am I correct that much rain overwatered it and that's why it dropped some? This plant is important to me. I've had a hard time getting a jalapeno to be successful for a very long time.
I like your channel.
What should i do when top leaves turn brown ?
Thank for your advise in advance.
after how many months we need to cut the top??
How’d u get your chilies to be busier even at low height?
He proned the top when it started to flower the first time
But I thought u do toppings only for peppers like capsicum? So even those type of chilies too yah..? Thnx 👍🏻
All peppers have capsicum!
Have you made a pepper hotter than PepperX yet? I’m still trying to get the seeds from your STARBURST varieties
How high is your polination rate indoor? I had my plants next to an open window for a month and all of the flowers were pollinated successfully but as soon as I moved them back into my tent and tried pollinating with a q-tip and shaking the branches, the flowers just fell off.
This may not be due to pollination issue, but more light spectrum or moisture. During bloom, plants do require certain light spectrum. This is why many grow lights boast "full spectrum" for all stages of plant cycles. The sun is the best =)
At 3:38.. that's how some of my pepper plants are growing up, I use soil that has built in fertilizer.. 😳😳 oops I guess? They're producing blooms and everything else is fine.. but the leaves like yours...
Also one of mine has some weird marbling stripes on the leaves.. I can't figure it out.. help on this one?
May you please advise on the pot size for small chilli plant?
Hey Khang, great video! You mentioned to stop fertilizing when plant is blooming. Does that mean all fertilization, or were you referring to a balanced fertilizer? I always though a straight phosphorus only fertlizer during flowering is beneficial as it is targeted to bloom production. Is this wrong?
Can I still use the soil with too much fertilizer after transplanting the pepper plant to a less fertilized soil?
Ah i am lucky to watch somewhere between 3:38 --- so that's the reason why my pepper plants just dead ...over fertilizing damn
Will the black bags cook your roots in the sun and damage them?
Hi there Khang, just a quick one, is it safe to fertilized more often if a pepper plant is producing more flowers on it? in order to manage the plant to bloom and produce fruits most of it, instead of dropping off.
..hiw about curly leaves brother..?..
Hello ... Want to ask: chili after transplanting (from soil to vegetable ABmix) why wither on the third day? Though sturdy about 20 cm high. Until now (7 days) still wither. Why? Thank you for your attention
Ah okay I live in South Texas also, so this is why my Habaneros, Reapers, and Ghosts flowers fall off. Yet my Cayenne Peppers love any weather. Khang do you know or have any idea why Cayenne Pepper plants are so resilient and produce so many fruits? What do they have that other pepper plants don't have?
I dont know the exact answer but I would guess that cayenne is more suitable for your climate.
@@midori8735 Good point.
@@buffyplays2577 Last summer in South Texas the heat was unbearable and it was way too dry. This is why they fell off. This spring/summer my Scorpions, Red Habaneros, Piquins, Ghosts, Hot Thai, and Cayenne are all growing a vast abundance.
@@buffyplays2577 once every 3 or 4 weeks. Usually once every 2 days.
@@buffyplays2577 Remember this, every area is a little different. Every plant is a little different. There are no strict guidelines. It is a mix of adaptation to your surroundings and how to work best with them. Khang lives in Texas like I do and we have been super lucky this year. While every other place is getting blistering heat and a drought we are sitting in a mild summer with lots of rain. I mean here in South Texas it has broken 100 maybe twice this summer. If you know about south Texas that's highly uncommon.
As far as the fertilization part, don’t you feed them nutrients 100% of the time until you bring them outdoors?
Wow
Nazmun Nahar wow what? He feeds with hydroponics until he brings them outdoors. So I was wondering what over fertilizing entailed? Does he mean the amounts of fertilizer you use when mixing? Does he mean fertilizing too much after transplanting? Just a question buddy.
@@kylerick4684 did u find the answer to fertilizing?
is garlic and chili as pesticides works?
So no more water for 2 days for my pepper plants.
Can pepper grow well without direct sunlight?
Can I spray an insecticide to get rid of aphids and mites also if the flower dosen't get pollenated will it still produce a pepper
How do you get rid of pests?
Do you have any recommendations for shade cloths?
I get some very tiny White Flies infestation on my Scotch Bonnet Pepper plants. They are usually on the underside of the leaf. It's so bad in the summer the leaves get blackish and falls off the tree. I use Neem Oil Spray. It helps a little bit but does not eliminate these flies. Have you encountered these types of flies on your pepper plants? If so, what did you use to treat your plants? Thanks for any suggestions! Regards; Doug
Yes, I get white flies occasionally. The key is to not just treat the immediately plant, but you must treat the population in your garden. Spray every other day everywhere you see them. They lay eggs and will come back if you stop treatment.
@@KhangStarr Thanks, I will start spraying every other day! Appreciate your response.
For Northern Europe, switch extremely high temperature for extremely low temperature..
Huge fluctuation in temperatures will also make the plant drop flowers. They are so sensitive lol
Is it ok to use Neem Oil on my pepper plants? Im growing several seedlings in my bedroom and they have now started to grow quite a bit, but somehow something is already starting to eat holes in a few of my plants, and even killed a couple leaves already. I found spray bottle of neem oil at walmart, so would it be ok to buy it and use it on my seedlings? Many of them already have their 5th and 6th true leaves, so they're not tiny seedlings.
Make sure it’s a cold pressed neem oil, otherwise not worth the $$. Mix with a little natural soap in water so it spreads better over the leaves... my guess is if in a spray bottle at Wally’s world it’s probably not cold pressed (1st Pressing of neem seed) but he remainder left over from the first pressing...
@@OSGCourtWatch I went ahead and bought some and used it, and I gotta say, this neem oil stinks to high heavens. It smells like changing a baby's diaper after the baby ate something really sour and got sick....... EWWWWW
Ah, so I shouldn't be growing my bhut jolokias in the same DWC setup as my other greens with the green fertiliser. Cos the bhut jolokias keep dropping flowers but the greens smell amazing! :D
Sup brah ! Nice vid...I planted some pepper seeds from a lil pepper...no fertilizer no nothing just flower soil (bought), I put some coffee grind after they got bigger (5-7 cm) sprinkled on them and a little bit of salt (very little once) they are now 10 cm but they look skinny and have like 6-8 leaves......the pepper from what I got the seeds looked the same as your vid and the leaves look the same so it must be the same kind I guess...please tell me when did you PRUNE your pepper and how and what fertilizer you used and what you did to get it nice and bushy like this......leaves keep falling allready at this 'young age' don't know why...I water them well every 2 days and have sunlight plenty....they grow inside in my windows....Please give me some info and tips. Thanks and great vid again
Epsom salt or table salt?
@@joegreene8353 Epsom salt..the high magnesium one...for 2 weeks now a couple of plants didn't grow one inch they seem all healthy except they lose 1 leaf randomly they are like 10 cm high and have 4-6 leaves yet they don't grow an inch :| I suspect this is because of lack of space...I even bought some fertilizer and vitamins for peppers exclusively (some random pellets) they only made soil full of mold :)) and fungus....don't know why my peppers don't grow....
Hey I discovered your channel this spring and I think that you‘re very good with plants! Amazing! I have a question, how long is the photoperiod indoors for your seedlings? I have some problems with my taller seedlings indoors (yellow leaves and overall not a healthy color, even while they‘re already blooming) and I’m curious what it could be. No pests spotted yet. Watering should be okay (no overwatering). A paradox is, that some plants (habanero chocolate f.e. Is really healthy and super beautiful). Maybe you can help me.
Khang are in Houston?
HOw do you get rid of pests? I have been using an organic pest spray and it is not working. I have one pot completely filled with some small flies...
Thank you for your help.
I have heard neem oil is good
Yes i have had good results from neem oil! It's organic comes from the tree of the same name!
I’m trying to grow basil I brought from whole foods and I’m struggling. Ive watered it enough but Everytime I put it outside for sun the whole plant starts to sag and droop a lot. Any tips ?
Jordan C, wow I tried it last spring. Got my little sweet basil live herb from Walmart in Texas. Changed to a bigger five gallon pot, placed on the balcony that’s partly shaded. It grew to four feet tall all the way through winter until killed by the first frost. I didn’t fertilize extra except what ever I put for the lawn. It was fun watching it sprouting more leaves. I harvested the sprig for salads and all kind of dishes weekly. Some I rooted easily in jars of water that I gave to my neighbors and friends. I ended up with several more plants to myself too. Awesome.
I suspect your basil could be pot bound already. Try repot it to a bigger container.
Root bound my thoughts also!
I haves seen lots in Asia.
UNDER-fertilizing will also make flowers drop; too much N, and not enough P…
Thanks for the video, I’m in Central Texas and have seen my habaneros loose it’s flowers but a lot of them I’m seeing the little pepper starting to grow. Try to start my little garden but squirrels keep destroying everything. If you have and ideas for squirrel repellents or how to keep them from destroying my garden a video would great! Thank you!
Rudy i offer my squirrels an option! I put sunflower seeds away from my plants! Also if a tree is nearby i stick a corn on the cob on some branch also they love apples keep the corn with the husk on it will keep them working!
Calcium deficiency, super hot temps, and the plants just aren’t mature enough. That’s been my experience.
Yep THE HEAT
Looks more like calcium deficiency and mite damage.
Yeah!
I feed my peppers 1ml of ancient earth and a few ml of cal mag they fucking love it
🎉❤
Pepper flowers? They drop it 'cause it's hot.
What that's not pepper, that's those hot chilis. not like white or black pepper.. you should have set a more appropriate title. when you say pepper you would refer to white or black pepper not these big ass chilis.
Anyone here using urine as fertilizer?
Hi Khang, is there a resource to find pepper plants by heat resistance? I live in the tropics and I think this would be very helpful...
helpful. i'm starting to grow bell pepper, jalapenos, Thai pepper, Chinese hot pepper, and California reapers. I think I lost my mind with my seedlings
