Jolokia Pepper Plants

Finially got the Jolokia's growing some peppers !!!! Man o man, its been two years coming!!! They might be the hottest pepper in the world, but they also the hardest to grow !!! Here is two plants I had from last year that never got to mature, they ended up dieing during the winter, but some how I got them to kick back off, and here is how they look now.

Lance is right, that is why I always put my plants where they will be in the sun all the day long ....... the hotter, the better.

Hey friend, great vids :) Would you mind if I pick your brain a bit? I'm growing some peppers indoors (see my latest vid) and they are starting to fruit now. I'm eventually going to move them outside maybe in early june because I'm in Canada so it gets warm a bit later on. My question is, in the meantime do you think I might have to water it a bit more frequent once its starting to give fruit? I"d guess it would use more water. I water at the moment once a week.

@svtcontour .... You need to listen to your plants. Let them go awhile without water to see how long they take to wilter, and then you will get a idea of when then need watering. The hotter it is, the more water then will need.

@unojrcan Ah I see. Ok so its ok if they wilt a little between waterings...even if they are in the fruiting process. I will keep an eye on them then :) I have never tried a Jolokia by the way so I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. An Orange hab is the hottest I've tried just fresh and that was damn hot but I'm sure its nothing compared to these bad boys.

@svtcontour ..... There's nothing to compair to the hotness that the ghost pepper has, but this taste is just as bad !!! It taste like burnt fire !!! I'm going back to the Red Sal. Habanero's just because of the taste. They taste so much better than the ghost. I have a doz of them growing now ....

Wat u need to do is make u up a make shift tent using a tarp. put the plants in there and use a 60 to 100 watt light blub to keep it warm inside the tent. As long as you keep it above freezing, your be ok.

@Mirewood Mine turned out great. Sounds like maybe overwatering in your case. I usually let the top 1" of soil get totally dry before watering again. Also make sure your pot or containers are well drained so the bottom is not staying soggy or anything. Let me know how things go :)

i grew a passion for growing peppers

They seem really nice, maybe not to eat. I tried to grow them but no luck. dont know if you can help but im having trouble even knowing what im growing at the moment

Nice Ghosts. I grow them up here in Idaho. I take mine down in the basement, under a 1000 watt grow light, all winter. Same with my Jalapenos and Serranos.

I grew up in San Diego, where they grow all year. We had peppers littering the drive way! Gotta do what you gotta do, if you want fresh peppers all year.

@lance85xyz you should have no problems with temp their natural environment is assem india. And i have grown them in north indiana for 3 years now the only problem is storms i have to put a hard plastic dome over my plants in heavy storms or they get torn to pieces amd dust them with lemon powder to keep bugs from eating them and the hotter the climate the hotter the peppers.

how many seeds do you plants in one pot and let grow, one? or more than one to a pot?
