growing peppers

[poprockspaceboi]

Hey everyone. My wife and I love spicy foods and peppers, so we grow our own. We currently have 16 habanero plants, 1 Thai Dragon plant, and a yellow sweet pepper plant too. They're relatively easy to grow and for those interested in peppers, I would highly recommend giving them a try. There are also TONS of companies selling different seed varieties online. A consistent company I have ordered from is Reimer Seeds Company. :smokin:

I grow hots too. My favorite visually are Italian cherry bombs. They are so pretty!
Good practice for my OTHER hobby... :D

I HAVE GROWN A COUPLE OF THOSE HOT CHILE PEPPERS, THOSE GARDEN PEPPER KINDS THEY PUT IN THERE WITH THE PAPA JOHNS. U KNOW. ANYWAYS, THEY WERE PRETTY EASY TO GROW. I HAD SOME NICE PEPPERSIN JUST A COUPLE MONTHS. THAT WAS USING JUST NATURAL SUNLIGHT THOUGH. I IMAGINE HPS GROWLIGHTS COULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH HYDROPONICS TO PRODUCE BETTER PEPPERS. THAT IS ALL.


Are peppers addictive?

Yes, peppers are addictive. Peppers contain capsaicin, a natural chemical that sends a burning sensation from the nerve endings in the mouth to the brain. The body defends itself against this pain sensation by secreting endorphins, natural painkillers that cause a physical "rush" - a high that keeps us coming back for more. So indulge your pepper cravings, and rest assured that you will soon build a tolerance.

i love peppers too. but i prefer the sweet variety. i didnt have a garden this year but ive had success with a variety called chocolate peppers. they turn purple then brown and are really sweet and yummy. give them a try you'll thank me.

[stinkyattic]

I planted a mix that included some chocolate peppers but of all the varieties those are the ones that didn't come up... or by bum luck there was no chocolate seed in that batch, boo hoo.

Hey Latewood,
That veggie thread is getting OUT OF CONTROL!!!!
There's multiple discussions going on and it gets confusing.
Maybe you should consider adding a whole new forum for companion plantings of vegg'ls along with ones cannabis, and users could then start threads specific to their species and grow conditions.

Anyhoo... yay, peppers!

I love to garden and hot peppers are my favorite. Each year I'll grow 4-6 varieties of hots. This season it was Red Cayenne, Yellow Hungarian Wax, Red Portugese Chili, Red Carribean Habanero. This season I dried them all. Some season's I make a batch of hot sauce from pureed peppers, salt and vinegar.
I usually get a couple of years from each patch of sauce. It is really good, I like to share with other hot lovers. I'm interested in those seeds, I usually buy seedlings at the greenhouse and just get what looks good that day that I buy 'em. Thai Dragon is one favorite.

I am interested in trying this. I was wondering though will I get the best peppers from the veg room or the flowering room? Or do I have to move from veg to flower like cannabis? Can I put tomatos and peppers together? What are some other vegetables I can grow that are not like vines (ie cucumber)?

My peppers have been under 24 hour light and are doing just fine. They are already attempting to flower, but I've been removing the buds to let them grow bigger first.
