Growing Jalapeno Hot Peppers from seed to harvest 

Jalapeno's are so underrated in the pepper world.... I grow them every year... Most people straight up say they hate them because the only Jalapeno's they've ever tried are those shitty pickled ones you get at Subway.... Eat a fresh one straight off the plant its completely different... its so beautiful and juicy and sweet and they're not overly hot either so it makes them user friendly for beginners. I live in Australia and we're at the beginning of spring over here at the moment, the warm weather is on its way =P

You can grow different peppers near each other you don't need to worry about the peppers flavor they will be the same, BUT if you decided to save seeds from one of those peppers off those plants it could be cross pollinated and produce a hybrid with different flavor characteristics

Cant wait to start growing jalapeños and tomatoes, trying it out for my first time this year.

Yesss!! Thank you for the video!! I live in Brazil so probably I'll have A LOT of peppers, because is really hot here the whole year!!!

I am so gratified that you pronounce "jalapeño" correctly. Thank you.

I saved seeds from sweet peppers that were planted near jalapenos. 1 plant turned out to be a mild jalapeno / sweet hybrid. The fruit is double the size of a jalapeno, but less spicy, interesting combo.

thank you for this video! i was freaking out because my plants are growing at a snails pace. it's because my apartment is too cold! they're getting there, slowly but surely 😔

I like this video. It's detailed with all the important points without over talking. Thank you. I planted my peppers from seed and can't wait to see what happens!

I grew mine from the store bough green peppers seeds. Yes, they are very unlikely to germ, but it took me just like four tries before something sprouted, about three seeds each try. Also I think they use some fast growers breeds, because mine took like a month to start the flowers. And it is indoors at winter, with low quality UV lamps(pink LED bulbs, 10$ and 15wt each). And in my country the maximum you'll get in seeds store is some basic local chili breeds(more in sweet side than spicy). To get jalapeno or habanero you have to order it online from aboard.

Thanks for showing us the cycle from beginning to end!

I plant seeds differently nowadays. I plant a lot of seeds and grow the biggest, most branching seedlings and discard the rest. I'm getting better pepper plants this way.

Nice. I didn’t knew the peppers would turn red! Almost harvest mines today but will let it stay there to see if I get some red ones

Growing my first Jalapeño and Serrano peppers now. Going well so far but they’re so slow!!!

Very informative thank you

Love the video. Sweet jalapeños and hot bellpeppers sounds delicious 😋

Your garden is a dream

Awesome information. Ty I have 2 pepper plants growing in my big truck and they just now started flowering. One jalapeño and one banana pepper plants

finally I know why the seeds from green jalapenos don't germinate! I wish I saw this video earlier.

Lovely video, thankyou, I'm growing Jalapeño for the first time, over in the UK. I've been a bit unsure about when to harvest, but your video is helpful. So far, so good....

Thank you for the advice I started to germinate 36 x 2 seeds

It's okay even if they cross pollinate, that won't affect the taste of the pods. The cross-pollination only affects the seeds so it's okay if you're not going to save seeds.

So informative! Thank you❤

Just finnaly got mine to sprout 🌱 they definitely need some Patients if you’re starting at seed took around 11 days to see somthing starting to sprout

Thank you for the video!

Very informative content thank you 👍

2:28 Wish I knew that before planting them all in one big pot. Guess I'll be having hot bell peppers and sweet jalapeños.

Another awesome informative video. THANK YOU!!!

Planting jalapenos today ;) Thx!

Thank for video pappers hot from somalia

Great video, thank you!

Excellent and very comprehensive thank you

Cross pollination only happens for the seeds produced by the peppers, so next years seeds would produce sweet jalapenos or hot bell peppers for example

I found a jalapeño that was almost fully red outside so I tryed to separate the seeds dry them and planted them

Thank you! 🌱💚🌶

Great video, straight to the point! Thank you!

This is great, thank you. I’ve just planted Jalapeño pepper seeds for the first time. I used bottom heat and had the room temperature at around 80 deg F. 40 out of 46 germinated in 4-6 days. I kept them in the high 70’s and added overhead led lighting. After 10 days (total) I re-potted in clear plastic drinking cups with holes punched in the bottom. This went really well and by 25 days (total) I re-potted the best 24 into 1 gallon pots. I’ve noticed that they are growing upwards more at night, when I turn the lights off, so I’ve raised the lighting (1150w total) to about 15-18” above the top leaves to encourage growth in height as they are presently only making an inch maximum between leaf nodes. The ones growing the tallest I’ve pruned, with half above the first node and the other half above the second. Since I’m only planning to re-pot the 12 best plants this will give me a good selection to choose from. One warning I’d give. I’d read that Epsom Salts, as a foliar spray, could help with leaf curling (plus was generally recommended). I used this and it seemed to help. However, I then gave them another spray, and this time the weaker plants leaves’ structure broke down and they simply collapsed. I pruned the dead leaves and the plants are re-sprouting from the buds at the leaf nodes. Thanks again for sharing!

thank you for your detailed video.

Thank you, that was informative!

I enjoyed your video thank you for spreading the knowledge

Very helpful and informative. Thanks

I am 16 years old and I saw some jalapeño seeds and the super market. I decided to grab them and try to grow them. I didn’t do any research lol. But when i saw the actual jalapeños starting to come in, I noticed that they were a little gigantic, note that they were only a light green color. When they started to get dark green they were HUGE. they were about the same size as my size 11 feet. I honestly don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.. but they tasty and nice and spicy.

Not at all what I was looking for or expects. But a great video either way. I think I might have too much random knowledge of plant biology and junk. When you said your was growing nice and bucht, and not Leggy, I though "well, yeah, kinda expected that, with the custome tailored soil and edequate Sunlight... they have everything they need to be healthy". And when you said there didn't seem to be any change whe. You topped them, I thought "wow, that's kinda cool. I would have expected some kind of response from the plant. But at the same time, perfectly healthy plants in perfectly healthy soil. Yeah I cna see that". However... my curiosity, were the peppers on the one that was topped misshapen compared to the one that wasn't, or vis versa? Or did the one that was topped produce a little more peppers and ripen sooner than the one that wasn't? Just curious.

Awesome! thats was interesting and educational

I bought some jalapenos at the grocery store that were 5" long, the biggest jalapenos I've ever seen. I cored the seed mass out, split it in half, and stuck each in a cup of potting mix. They have both started several plants in each cup, and when they are a little bigger I will separate them. I plan to grow them out, and force at least one into a "bon-chi" plant! Nice video, nice garden😁

Great video

Awesome video!

i planted 8 seeds at the end of may, only 3 germinated, but they are healthy and going good

Thanks for the tips. Do you think the worm casting and epson salt helps and make a difference?

I'm starting to see some jalapenos at last, only been 5 months .

Good job

Very informal, thanks for the video! (: If you see this, could you please tell me what you used to water your seedlings? It looked so gentle, and perfect for my plants

as always informative and straight forward I'll give em a go I think

Hi ❤️ your videos. You might like grobuckets instead of grow bags because you only have to water once every 26 days.

I'm going to give it a shot! My concern was that I would need something for these to climb on...wire basket or something of that sort. Looks like the do not grow very tall so I will not need that support

Thank you! I'm sitting here wondering why my seeds haven't sprouted yet when the bell peppers and tomatoes already have!

Great video! 👍

Will they survive the winter if you bring them inside? How long will the plants live?

My jalapeño plant is only about 1 foot tall, and is already growing peppers, but two peppers are growing out of each flower. Is this odd ? Or did I over feed them ? Water 3,4 times a week depending on heat.

Great video.

very cool 😁✌🖖👌👍😎

On RU-vid a vlog said a hot pepper will not affect a sweet peppers In the growing season But it will affect the seeds So the seeds would not be able to be used next season You would have to buy new seeds

Nice video, following now😉👌🏼

Loved the video! I got 4 jalapeños on my plant and they were great, now small red cherry looking like jalapeños are coming in. Is this due to the heat? We are in the 90's now in AZ. I see another commented on planting a Serrano pepper plant next to the jalapeños...I don't know if that's a mistake but I did the same thing. Rut roh.

In tropical climate, will the plant be always producing jalapeños? Eventually it will die, right?

@Tikki O how do your make the drip watering system with bottles?

Hi I am trying to grow jalapeno from seeds...I get seedling after 8-10 days but that does not live longer...it just fall off from the bottom

Thanks for this! You didn’t find that you had to stake the plants at any point to keep them upright?

How do you keep the bugs from eating them? Neem oil is not doing its job at the moment.

I'm growing some of these hydroponically, is that impractical? Or am I just going to have to move them to a much larger container eventually?

Very informative video growing my first jalapeno plant. I have a question I just started noticing jalapeno peppers on them they are skinny if I leave them on will they get fat like a normal jalapeno. Also I should have topped it like video suggested but this has been a learning process learning compost,manure and fertilizer other than that been pretty much letting it grow naturally

I use ocean grown or happy frogs foxfarm soil and nutrient line. foxfarm bush doctor coco loco with an led electric sky 300 and gorilla tent all year round. nothing but monster plants

Bravo! Your videos are more than content; they're a showcase of your unique storytelling and visual artistry. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

So nice maim

My jalapeños just started germinating but I put 3 seeds in each cup separately but they all germinated so do I just put them in their own vase and delicately separate them?

if u plant them in bigger pots or in land , u get bigger plants and fruits

Do you have a recipe for pickled jalapeños?

Will they produce peppers every year

Cross pollination will not change the pepper, just don’t save seed.

What did you feed them while growing?

I grew some Thai chilies and the flower grew out but then they died. I could figure out if I gave them too much water or very little water. I still have the plant but too bad all the flowers fell off.

Great video! I'm using pots (mix of terracotta and plastic) to grow. How well the grow bags do from one season to the next? Also how often do you apply fertilizer?

how does the bottle irrigation work?

Have you tried starting ney plants from the red seeds?

All but one of my jalapenos are sprouting shriveled and sad and then die :(

I’m a little scared because i grew a Serrano next to my jalapeños It might cross pollinate :(

Thank you for the post. Can you please tell me where can you buy the "Mild" jalapeno. I went to many nurseries and couldn't find any :-(. All I found were the Medium heat ones

How were the red?

What did you put under the bags ?

hello there, wondering if you use same epsom salt as I use in my bath tub? Also, what is worm castings? All the best!!

the book is free online. you get it via pdf

when you do hydroponic gardening how much solution do you use per gallon ??? thanks 🤔✌👌👍😜🌶

I guess this lady has never heard of fried green tomatoes.

This is a hot topic. BTW, was that a UFO which cast a moving shadow across the plants ? Just wondering.....Thanx !

The cross pollination thing is a myth. Peppers planted next to other peppers will not cross pollinate until the next generation. It would only be a problem if you had them next to each other and then used the seeds.

All ylu do is put the green jalapeños in a drawer or somewere dark they will turn red on their own no need to keep them on the plant.

Wb serrano peppers.

You won't get sweet jalapeño and spicy bells - that's not how it works. Only the SEEDS are affected by cross pollination.

The red ones are hotter

Your entire discussion of sweet peppers and hot peppers crossing has no basis in science. It does not affect the present fruit. It affects the seeds within the fruit.

I planted seeds today. Hopefully they grow
