Appreciate this one even more this year and picked up some more tips from it - made a few mistakes last time round, mainly with watering during germination so this'll be a big help. I find it's good to watch these seed to sauce vids each year even though I've been growing chillies a while - helps refresh the memory and achieve better rates. Will be growing more cayenne this year - used loads in 2022 to make lots of that awesome Sambal you've recipes for. (Seed to Sambal, anyone?)

The other difference between birds and mammals for seed dispersal is that birds don't chew up seeds, mammals do. So it's massively more likely that a chilli seed will get through a bird intact.

Just got my Aji dulce seeds from you!! Don’t have a heat mat or fine vermiculite, so my 1st packet of seeds will be an experiment. I live in AZ and we are getting rain tonight and tomorrow!! Dsnt happen very often so I planted my first pack on top of seed starter pods and layered 1/4” with sand and perlite. It might be totally wrong but it’s what I have today & I really wanted to take advantage of the rain. Tomorrow, I will go to Lowe’s to get the mat & vermiculite for the 2nd round of the pepper experiment. Really appreciate all the extra work u put in for us trying to grow peppers successfully for the first time. I make something called “sofrito” and have yet to see aji dulce peppers in ANY Asian or Latin market anywhere in the US( except Miami), so I’m super excited for these little guys to grow and give me lots of peppers. Thanks again!!

@noob19087 Год назад

I've been growing tomatoes for a few years, though just last year I tried also growing some chilies. Honestly I think chilies are way more worth it to grow yourself, the amount of fruit you get is basically the same but the value you get from one chili pod is way more than 1 tomato. I'll only be growing chilies this year, actually. I have some overwintered jalapenos, habaneros, habanadas, chiltepins and right now I'm also germinating some aji limon and chilehuacle negro seeds. Honestly the highlight of the year for me, getting to grow your own chilies.

@@ChilliChump I’m in the south now, near London. Rainbow chilli, Zimbabwe black chilli, cherry kiss, and Hungarian Wax pepper. I got them from a seed shop so not sure how old they are, so far the cherry kiss and Hungarian wax have germinated and I knew I was starting at the wrong time but I’ve not developed the bonsai patience yet so sowed a few each of what I have to try inside and will try them again at the proper time of year if they don’t take. Currently inside in a heated propigator and then have one of those plastic greenhouses indoors by a big window. Not idea but seems to be working well with some garden centre chilli plants, developing nicely but plain old garden variety so thought I’d try with something more exotic looking!

Hi Shaun, I’m not sure if I agree with you when to switch on the lighting. I put mine on as soon as I see several seeds have germinated. I find if I was to do it when the first true leaves have formed the seedlings would be very leggy and spindly. I known you can prick them out and transplant deeper. If the lights are on straight away the seedlings are stocky and look stronger. Stefan

Hi Shaun, thank you for your video! This is my first year growing from seed (or trying, shall I say!) I wonder if you could answer two quick questions... 1) what are the soaking times when using the H2O2 method? 2) I bought seeds online (from a local and reputable farm) so I don't know how old the seeds are. Do you have any advice for how long I should soak them, eg is too much soaking dangerous ? Thank you! I'm a big fan of your channel!

@ChilliChump 2 года назад

With H202, 30 to 60 minutes should be fine for most seeds. Up to 6 hours max I would say. For your seeds, if they are from a reputable seller they should be from last season, at worst the season before. So follow my guidelines I show in the video. Max 24 hours soak

@Marcus2233 2 года назад

love your vids so informative, been growing chillis from seeds for 2 years now, did a trial last year with a cherry bomb in the autopot system and I couldn't harvest the chillis fast enough, just prolific in that system, one problem iv had over the last couple of years is helmet head, a Naga and 2 piri piris this year it has happened to, will your methods on soaking seeds reduce this problem ?

@ChilliChump 2 года назад

Yes, it will help with that....however, you still need to maintain a good amount of humidity over your seedlings while they germinate to help with this. I have had maybe 6 seedlings with that issue this year, out of a good few hundred.

Thanks for your step by step instructions. It is reassuring to see I did it almost the same. Almost.... I use a low nutrient soil to germinate, so that the plants put their power into root growth to try and get at the nutrients. I would have thought that kompost is to nutrient rich for the start. Am I right or am I wrong?

@ChilliChump 2 года назад

I've never had an issue with root growth at seedling stage. Just make sure you use plain compost...no additives

Thank you I live in Seattle similar climate to yours I believe. Do you have an recommendations for Caribbean peppers like scotch bonnet? Other than what you’ve listed in your video. Thank you again and I hope you have a fruitful harvest this year.

The Madame Jeanette is a lovely chilli with a better flavour and similar heat profile.

I've had crazy success in cooling the seeds in the fridge 24h before planting. (4 degrees Celcius)

You can use campden tablets (Potassium Metabisulfite) to get rid of chloramine in the water. Very small amount is needed. I do that for brewing beer.

Хочу рассказать ещё один секрет проращивания семян сверх острых перцев.Я делаю так:Да,первое,что нужно сделать,это поместить семена в раствор перекиси водорода на 10-15 минут,это уничтожит споры разного рода грибков.Потом я помещаю семена в 2% раствор калиевой селитры KNO3 на 24 часа при температуре +30С.Почему так?Есть мнение,что данное действие имитирует нахождение семени в кишечнике птицы,съевшей это семя вместе с плодом перца.Ведь птицы не имеют капсаициновых рецепторов и на вкус перец для них сладкий.Способ проверенный.Так же хочу сказать спасибо за Ваши ролики,Шон,всегда смотрю их с интересом.С приветом из Украины.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'm glad you are enjoying my videos. Not sure how far you got into this video? But I mention a few of the things you are talking about here. One of the reasons I recommend tea instead of other chemicals is because for beginners (the target of this series) there is a lesser chance of causing a problem because of mixing incorrectly/too strong concentration etc.

Hey Shaun. You've been a huge inspiration to me to get pepper plants in my garden I have 6 varieties but all bought as either seedlings or plugs. I'm interested in growing plants from the seeds that I've collected from the peppers in my garden but I don't know when to start the planting process. Just about everyone on RU-vid talks about "weeks before last frost date". In Cape Town however we don't have a frost date as it doesn't snow out here. What does that translate to for sowing date? Does that mean I can sow any time of the year or is there still a preferred starting time of the year?

@ChilliChump 2 года назад

Thanks for watching my content, I'm glad you are enjoying it! For the southern hemisphere I would start your seeds in June or July.

@ivoleather 2 года назад

@@ChilliChump Absolutely! The edition of different soaking times was really useful for future reference. It's very convenient that the Netherlands doesn't have any chlorine in tap water, makes the process a bit easier I guess.

@ChilliChump 2 года назад

That's really good that you don't have chlorine in your water. How do they keep it safe?

@ivoleather 2 года назад

@@ChilliChumpThe main reason for not needing chlorine is that our pipe networks are very well maintained and have extremely low levels of contamination. And we use a lot of groundwater that is filtered by sandy and clay soils which already makes it very clean and pure. Truly a water country!

Depending on the type of lights we use (T4 & T8) what would be a good high distance from the seeds and as the plants grow? I'm so glad I found your channel.

If you think they may be older seeds but aren't sure how old, then just soak them for 24 hours. It won't harm the seeds

Hi, thank you, that was so informative, I am a complete novice and newbie. I love cooking and find it hard to get large chillies to stuff and cook so I decided to try and grow my own. Can you offer me any advice for growing large sweet mild/medium chillies? looking online the one that I found was Anaheim (New Mexico) can you please offer any advice. Cheers Bob

@ChilliChump 2 года назад

Hi Bob I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sweet chillies are one of the easier varieties to grow. Most are part of the c.annuum species. Follow the advice in my beginners guide, and you will be getting good harvests in no time!

@Ira88881 2 года назад

Beautiful job! But as you well know, everyone’s growing situation is different, and mine is nuts. I live in South Florida, Zone 10, with months of extreme heat (good for peppers), and months of torrential afternoon rainfalls (bad for peppers). All of my peppers are in containers outdoors, because the soil stinks here, easier pest control, and I can better control soil moisture and feeding (especially during the dry times). All of my mature plants are doing okay, but my problem is seed starting: I don’t have space indoors to properly set up a seedling station, and my outdoor area is far from ideal because of the excess heat and rainfall, even though I do what I can to mitigate the water by covering the trays with a transparent lid and keeping them under other cover. Not ideal, doesn’t work, so… I just bought three small hydroponic units solely to germinate indoors and grow to pee wee size, 10 pods each. They go with the furniture, so my wife “let” me buy them! Are pepper seeds “friendly” to this kind of germination? I read somewhere possibly not, but I’m going to give it a shot anyway because I don’t have any choice. I just “planted” two of the units yesterday.
