Habanada pepper failure to set fruit, followed by bonchi and outdoor transplant

YAY!!!

Peppers are a coming.

That is a shame. I did grow Habandas and did get peppers. Maybe the vendor or the seed crop? I got mine from Burpee.

I have had hit and miss with refining chilies. More off then not

It is very healthy looking. Nice looking plant.

Fingers crossed! It looks like it’s in good shape so far!

It looks like it should.

I love the look of it all bonsai ish

That is cool looking!

I look forward to all your next projects.

The peppers will come.

You know Duffy's site says these are 3-4 ft. tall plants. Burpee says they are 13-15" tall, but 2-3 foot wide. Looking at your plant, Burpee looks more accurate.

I try to keep my plants under 3 feet. They are typically shorter indoors anyway.

I grew the Burpee ones and they were the shorter of the two sizes.

It is getting huge!

Any luck with peppers?

Then you need to determine how much longer you will give them to produce. Since you've changed your nutrient level to 12 ml, I wouldn't let it stretch more than another couple of weeks.I have had many projects that just didn't produce. Is this the Burpee variety? Those are supposed to mature in 3 months.Good luck.

I don't think I'd contact Jim Duffy on that. I ticked him off when I contacted him on the Yellow 7-Pot seeds that didn't germinate. I was surprised he answered my email himself. He is a major supplier to Amazon.

I dont know what it is with the seeds this year.. but I know mike and I both ordered from the same place (and it be be this one) but we got seeds that were all duds and did not germinate. If from the same place could it be they were not processed correctly? Maybe not dried long enough? I know I never did write them, thought about it but did not. EDITED: Yup mine were also from the same place.

Well we know that just is NOT true.

Sounds like a guy who refuses to accept that there’s more then one right way to grow plants. That sort’s always annoying

I agree with him in one respect. You can't compete with growing in California sunshine. But we all know we can utilize what tools we have to grow peppers indoors. The super-hots were always an experiment for me. Even now, I'm looking for the peppers I can grow with flavor first, and heat being secondary to prepare the dishes I want.Jim Duffy is one of the best pepper growers, in the world. Unfortunately, I believe he's become quite arrogant about his methods. I'm sure we could create indoor grow tents to reproduce his success. But at what cost? Grow lamps, electricity and temperature control are expensive.Green energy policies will raise electricity costs. I hope I can still afford to run my air conditioner and gardens during the Summer.

Looks good!

Make your nute concentration is 12 ml per gallon of water. If it is lower than that it could be the reason. If you are between 8 and 11.5 ml concentration you wouldn't see anything wrong except no peppers. Below 8 ml you would see yellowing of leaves. If it is higher than that you are probably dropping a lot of blooms and getting leaf curl.These are generalizations. It could be something else, but after 45 days, I stick to that schedule.

One example for me was my White Habanero project I just concluded. I planted that project at the end of August. It went over 75 days before it started to produce. If you look at my feeding schedule, you will see I had them at 11.5 ml the month prior to producing. At that point, I only had a few tiny peppers. Then I added 12 ml nutes. Boom! I got hundreds of tiny but potent habanero peppers.I used to use 11 ml nutes as a guideline. Not any more. I feel with the AG nutes, 12 ml is necessary starting at 45 days. 8 ml to start, 8 ml at 15 days, 11 ml at 30 days with 10 ml Mooch, and 12 ml nutes and 10 ml Mooch after that for peppers.

mike, I screenshot your post to keep as a guideline. I really appreciate the help.

I have had many pepper plants that never seem to drop pollen. Actually one of mine now does not drop any but has tons of peppers.

If you have flowers, the peppers will follow

Nice progress!

Many pepper varieties continue to have a large amount of blossom drop. It isn't something to be concerned about. They're just a pain to clean up.

If I remember I think mine was smaller as well. I know I Have it listed in my garden.

Looking great, Error.

Just the leaves. If the branches are still in the way, you can snip them off. But I'd only take leaves at this point.

I would prune some off because they are not getting much light, and it would improve air circulation. But I am not a pepper expert. You might want to wait for a second opinion!

If it were me I would start off by removing the 4 largest and lowest leaves. You do not want to do too much too soon.You can also wait for mike to see what he says.

I'd definitely take the lower leaves off. Cool looking plant.

So am I!

It looks great!

Some peppers take time and like to make that special appearance

Looks good.
