  First timer from Buenos Aires with ZERO clue what I was getting into 6 months ago.<br>I bought seeds for (4) Mexicans, (4) Habaneros and (4) superhots (Reaper, Yellow Scorpion, Borg-9 and 7-pot)<br><br>Thinking that my succes rate would be close to none - I sowed 2 of each using jiffy pellets and some crappy chinese trays. <br>No heating maps or any other fancy sh*t - just a couple of trays in a closet with some (very) rudementary led bulbs.<br><br>My wife thought that I was crazy. (again)<br><br>Today (end of summer here) ????<br><br>I have a total of 18 gorgious plants FULL with peppers almost ready to be picked.<br>What an amazing thing to experience - truly addictive!!!! <br><br>PS: my wife did not change her mind but that&apos;s fine.

  I bought plants in early May &nbsp;from local nursery in central NC. &nbsp;Set them out in raised bed. Kept them well (amply) watered and fertilized all summer (brutal and dry) and they lingered - until THEY got ready. &nbsp;By mid August I had about 9 peppers. &nbsp;By mid September, the plant is LOADED. &nbsp;Got at least 50 peppers at mature size and it is blooming like mad. &nbsp;Plant is up to 6&quot; tall. &nbsp;Frost is at least 45 days away. &nbsp;Will probably end up with 100+. &nbsp; The ghost just can&apos;t be rushed. &nbsp; Patience is key. &nbsp;Sounds like my location with full sun may have been a mistake in terms of a late harvest. &nbsp;The heat did cause some bloom shedding. &nbsp;Overall, this guy is spot on! &nbsp;The Carolina Reaper beside my Ghost is not nearly as prolific as the Ghost.

  I&apos;ve actually had great luck with Ghost peppers! &nbsp;They&apos;re quite prolific and I actually liked the appearance!

  That is one beautiful plant. This video has hyped me up for the 2026 season even though I&apos;m still a couple weeks out from starting my seeds. This was a great crash course refresher.

  I plant mine in the ground and my experience is ghost peppers take the least care of any chili I’ve grown, they just can’t help being super productive (at least on the Gulf Coast)

  A few years ago I was able to grow ghost peppers in Ottawa, ON. Just have to start them indoors very early, but it was extremely successful.

  I&apos;ve had my pepper plants inside under a grow light, and they sprouted just over a month ago. About 6 weeks after the first sprouts showed up, I transplanted them into larger (3&quot; - 5&quot;) pots. I&apos;m so impatient, so waiting 3 more weeks to start hardening them off is hard for me. I can&apos;t wait to move them outside. These videos are so helpful and motivating.

  Early last year my local hot pepper guy closed shop so i decided to get some seeds and finally grow my own stuff. &nbsp; I watched all your growing video, followed the steps and end up with 27 super healty, super strong plants. Could only keep 5 for myself so i gave the rest to friends and familly member. &nbsp;I got a Fresno, two habaneros, a scotch brain and and a ghost and they all produce like crazy, especially the ghost. At the end of the summer i had so many peppers ( probably 400-500) , my freezer was full of pods, paste, poppers,etc. Got enough powder and flakes for a couple years. Even with all that, i was left with so much i was giving &nbsp;full ziploc bags away to friends and neighbours .<br><br>I live right beside Montreal, it&apos;s freezing cold right now ( about -16 celcius) and it will stay that way for a few more weeks but today &nbsp;i feel like the winter is coming to a end because it&apos;s seedling day. So i&apos;m watching all the videos again to refresh my memory. I could not recommand your video enough to anyone who want to get into growing hot peppers. Thanks for the great content. Hope everyone reading this will have a great growing season.
