I picked a couple orange Bell peppers today, here is what I got, and a look at my "pepper menagerie".

I was going to cull this plant from the forest, but I thought about it and..ding ding ding...Hey, I have been wanting to know If I can grow this tub of peppers, outside...So,
I am planning on putting this outside in a shade box of sorts and see if I can use the Sun to grow this plant.:thumbsup:

Ok Lw I am growing peppers that look like yours but I was wondering if you need to polinate the flowers to get the bell peppers to grow??

[latewood]

great question and the answer is yes...I recommend you buy a book called hydroponic solutions by growing edge (check out mags post#7 above)(it has Q nad A style format and is quite an easy read...it's just like they took Q and A off the veggie forums at growing edge or something like that...and, there is also an indoor bible for veggies...both available at hydro shops, and amazon, I suppose.

although I will always be glad to help if I can.

you have to shake them a little whenever they flower...to help them along. Outside the bugs would take care of it. you can go to the hydro store and buy some ladybugs too!It took me awhile to get some decent peppers to grow. I going to be growing them in drip buckets/hydro and some in soil, since I seem to have the gift...
did that answer your question?

I just use a small modeling paint brush so move the polen from 1 flower to another, well it worked for my tomatoes and lowriders.

CONGRATULATIONS LATEWOOD :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[latewood]

thanks lealized herb for the tip...

alright, Mobay...thanks. I guess I will have to behave now...lol

ok I will try the paint brush thing.. I am trying to do this without books but I am reading as much as I can.. (I looked at a few books in the store and they all said different things.. and I can figure most of it out.. might buy one later).

Thanks for that..

And if I can add to it, is there any specific plant to plant polination skeem? Like are there male and female or.. man I must sound stupid.. Can you use different flowers from the same plant? I have spent too much time reading about MJ cultivation.. haha.. I should buy the book!

I have two bell pepper plants about to open flowers all over the place.
