So i asked GD if i could make this diary for my pepper plant and they kindly said yes. Thanks for that :)
Before this i was adding updates for the pepper plant in with my other diaries but it was confusing... so here we are.
Ive added some photos of the cayenne peppers from my last harvest and i think i got about 100 or more full sized peppers overall.
Most are ripening up and turning red but i saved a lot of green ones too.
the green ones are less spicy but not as sweet as the red ones so its nice to have a variety from different stages of ripeness. And a lot of people say that Green means go! and while picking the peppers when they are green an unripe may force the plant to grow more peppers overall the nutrient or vitamin content of that green pepper will be around 8x lower than that of a red or fully ripe pepper. Now although my peppers were green/purple/red when ripening other peppers could be yellow/purple/red/orange or even brown but yeah fully ripe is the way to go! People eat way too much garbage food nowadays and they feel awful! get some vitamins in your life along with your medical weed of course!
So i decided to show everyone how easy it is to use up the extra space in your grow room. you can grow fruits, vegetables and herbs while using up that extra space and making the most out of your indoor garden.
certain plants may be bad for your garden and attract nasty insects (i dont have this problem) but some can also be good for your weed plants and keep bugs away or be beneficial in other ways so make sure to look that up on your preferred search engine if you get a chance, i believe its called Companion Planting.
Anyways on to the grow!
Ive planted a 1.5 Gallon pot of Devils Brew Pepper and 2 tiny terracotta seedling pots.
A 1-3 gallon is a good size if your planning to start in final containers and i reccommend this just to avoid transplanting, it seems unnecessary to me.
My last grow i just used the Canna and Vitalink nutrients i use for my weed on the cayenne pepper plant and it grew fine, i didnt take good care of it and it stopped growing entirely for a while but once i started caring for it again at the end of its veg period it started flowering and made a ton of peppers. So anything containing Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus, Calcium and Magnesium should grow a good pepper, Although Organic nutrients are the best way to go for anything that will be consumed.
take a look at online guides and video tutorials too, theres a ton of good information out there to help you grow better.
My grow light is a total of 600W, you could use a less powerful light or any kind. its your choice, also height of your grow light is a really important factor in the correct growth and health of your plant.
Im using Biobizz light mix which is soiless - great for the peppers as they like a PH of 5.8 i believe.
Day temp
25C
Night temp 20C
Temperature is usually kept high for chilli peppers (around 29C i think) along with a high concentration of intense light. this is why it is hard to source any variety of good fresh pepper. Only basic cayenne, jalapeno and that kind of thing are commonly sold.
My Cayenne Pepper took quite a long time to grow but grew fine with a max temp of 25c.
Finally about the peppers i chose - These are devils brew peppers and they are supposed to be very hot and all different colours, it could take a while to grow but il keep making updates so get yourselves going and plant something to keep your weed company! :)
Peace!
😜not yet, but it's coming..
For sure some kind of peppers and tomatoes...
Thx 4 the recipe!!
Have a good one and good luck for your Veggie-Projects😜✌️✌️
I already have the seeds for the peppers since a couple of weeks now. But I'm planning to grow mine simultaneously with my next growth which will start in two weeks from now.
So are you planning on smoking them 😅 I bet they will be smoking hot, with some peppery scent to it :D
