- Indoor growing just got fun! Join me in growing hot chili peppers indoors. In part 1 we're going to be germinating seeds of the Carolina Reaper (worlds hottest pepper) and Ghost pepper seeds (Bhut Jolokia)(which rank just under but pretty close to the reaper pepper on the Scoville unit scale. I've grown lots of peppers in my outdoors garden over the years but never grown them indoors so this will be a new experience for me as well. Join me and let's learn how to grow pepper plants indoors together.
I'm excited to try out the new Viparspectra XS series LED grow light and the Mars Hydro 27x27 inch grow tent. This should be a lot of fun and I'm aiming for a huge crop of peppers at the end.

Could you link to the one you used in the video beacuse the heat mat that's link doesn't look like the one you had
It's 7am and I've only had 3 hours sleep and watching this with sound off cus everyone's asleep and all I can think of is, he just made his seeds a cup of tea and im living for it lol Going to watch it again later when i can listen properly lol ♥
LOL, thanks for watching. Sorry to keep you up late.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks for making the videos :) lol it's fine not your fault, I was glad of some gardening to look at & the tea made me laugh :) Great video as always, love the tea trick!
I love growing indoors.
Not as stressful due to a controlled environment.
Sure hand pollinating can be frustrating but, very rewarding.
My watermelon is doint great under my 6.5 k $59 grow light.
Watermelon under a grow light sounds amazing! I'd love to see that.
Perfect timing for me, all my 2020 babies are now just ticking over nicely and I could do with a new propagation project.
As my wife will testify I consume vast quantities of hot peppers so it’s doubly perfect, so looking forward to getting started with this; I’ve been doing some late fuchsia cuttings indoors for a while now so I’ve got the whole heat/light situation working nicely in my “play room” although I’m guessing I’ll need to crank things up a little for the pepper seeds.
Thanks so much for this Mike, I’m looking forward to the follow-up video in due course.
Sounds like you've got some fun projects going on there. Yep, time to get them peppers growing. I think I'm going to try to save these and grow them all summer long and then bring indoors through the winter as well. Gonna need a bigger tent, LOL
Finally my Aster flower plants appeard in my seedlings.
Awesome!
I’m about to embark on a reaper planting also. Got my Thai chilis, jalapeños, orange habenero and ghosts growing up already. I love growing peppers. Thanks for the video ! Nice indoor setup👍👍
They area fun and colorful plant to grow. Good luck with your peppers.
Christmas came early for you...
Good luck on the seed growing
can't wait for the next video.
Merry Christmas you and your family, stay safe
Merry Christmas! Enjoy your family time this holiday season.
Very cool thanks for the shout out. Those pepper plants are looking awesome. You'll be burning in no time flat. Hahaha 🤣 it's not hot until your limbs are numb. Can't wait to see the rest of these videos 🤠
Hey no problem, Mark. I get more nervous about eating one the more we talk about it, LOL.
@@MikeKincaid79 you'll be fine
If you put one in each corner, one in the middle and keep them pruning well I believe that you could fit 5.
Sounds like a good way to go, thanks for the idea!
Ok, so I just sowed 50 jalapeño seeds, having watched both Reaper videos through twice.
This is my first time so it will be interesting. If anyone else is also a newbie, following along, I’d be very interested to hear how you got on; especially if you’re ahead of me in the timeline. 😂
Thanks Mike for these wonderful videos!
Glad you enjoyed them, Mike! I think the key was having plenty of light and heat during the germination phase. I was actually surprised at how fast these germinated.
Wow, this is so cool, just like you said Mike, 3 days in the fridge, 30 minutes in room temperature Earl Grey tea, shallow sowing, 80 Degs F with heat mat and light AND hey presto, just like you my first 2 or 3 pushed up tiny sprouts at 4 days. Today is day 5 and 20 out of 49 have sprouted.
This is such a joy, thank you so much Mike!
Quick update, having started 49 Jalapeño seeds in an Agralan Plant plug trainer on 13 Jan, in 4 days 40 had sprouted and in 12 days were put into small clear plastic cups. Within days roots appeared and by day 20 they had 3 sets of true leaves. I decided to re-pot again but had to wait for new lighting. I graded them Div 1 & 2 according to apparent development and potted the Div 2 (“rejects”) into “5” pots.
Today, day 27, all have 4 sets of true leaves. What I have noticed, interestingly, is that the “reject”, now in bigger pots, have overtaken the “chosen ones” in size and are looking healthier. Definitely looks like a vote for bigger pots.
The new lights arrive soon and then I’ll put the Chosen Ones into 1 gallon pots; hopefully they’ll re-overtake the Rejects.
Thanks so much for your very encouraging videos Mike!
Looking forward to an update on your Reapers Mike!
Mine (Jalapeños) have grown faster than I expected. I separated them into 2 classes according to how they were doing and potted on the “rejects” into 5” pots and the “chosen ones” into 1 gallon pots.
As a result I experienced a big increase in the demand for lighting area and a few days ago finalised my new lighting rig.
I’m keeping a good eye on moisture levels, (having hopefully learnt my lesson) BUT I have noticed that quite a bit of the new growth (4th and 5th pair of true leaves) are growing upwards and curling at the edges. I understand this may be caused by my 1150w LED lighting being too close to the plant tops (was around 6-8”, although I had thought it was more) so I’ve raised it to around 15”.
@@MikeFloutier Thanks for all the updates! I know this is a year old but glad you had so much success. How did your peppers do in the summer? I've definitely learned that the LED lights are very intense and must be raised up to the top of the tent. Anyway, glad to hear of all your success!
Love the tent. Good luck with omg hot peppers no way I would even consider eating 1 bite. Merry Christmas
It's a really nice little setup and I'm looking forward to seeing little peppers growing. Merry Christmas to you too, Jean!
Hello Mike. I grow peppers but not anything that hot. We are having some very cold weather right now, but spring will come. Take care of yourself. Wishing you and family good health and happiness.
OAG
Hey Charles, good to hear from you. I've never grown anything this hot either but it's been fun so far. I'll have another update soon. I'm enjoying seeing your new video posts come across my Facebook feed. I wish you and your family the same health and happiness. Enjoy the rest of the season.
First, you don’t need to refrigerate.
Second, you want the cover bent closed for even warmth until germination.
Third, heat mat at 80 degrees.
You will have germination within 5-7 days.
Keep plants in container until 2-3 true leaves, then transplant. Add slow release pellets for constant slow feed. Liquid feed is good for off on hunger best as compliment.
You can use 4x 12" square fabric or plastic pots, but cover the soil with plastic sheeting to act as indoor mulch. The plastic allows the fine roots to grow all the way to the surface to maximize nutrient and oxygen uptake. People acknowledge benefits of mulching outdoors, but tend to ignore the practice when growing indoors. The plastic causes the medium to lose moisture more evenly, making it easy to avoid over-watering.
By far, the easiest way is to plant right into a bag of potting mix. Put 4 bags of potting mix in the tent, and cut a small X into each one to plant into. You do not need run-off holes because there is no rain to over-water them. Fox Farms makes nutrient-rich medium that probably won't need fertilizer until they are growing fruit. It is a little pricey compared to some other mixes, but any good mix should do.
Proper ventilation is crucial to the plants if you are not forcing CO2. You will also want 1 or 2 small, PC size fans for moving air inside the tent. The small fan stays on at all times, even in the dark. Without a small circulation fan, the vent fan will pull air through the tent in the path of least resistance, and leave poorly ventilated areas in the tent.
Are your peppers photoperiodic, or do they auto-flower? Some plants require long or short days to fruit.
Peppers aren't photoperiod so that's not a problem at all. I will decrease the light when it gets closer to fruiting. Thanks for all the ideas. I especially like the one about just cutting the soil bag and planting directly into it.
Good looking seedlings. I think Carolina Reapers and ghosts would be too hot for me, but I ordered some jalapeno and bell pepper seeds and am waiting for them to arrive. I've never heard of the tea soaking technique before.
I hadn't either until buying the reaper seeds. It worked out very well.
I overwinter the Reapers I got from Ed Currie indoors due to zone 5 weather and short season. I would plan on no more than 4 mature plants if you keep the light turned up and without severe pruning. They can easily reach 6 feet tall and three feet wide outdoors during their second summer. If you keep trimming the tops off of them to strengthen the stems, you could probably squeeze a dozen or more in there. If the peppers will eventually go outside and experience wind, topping is almost required due to branch weakness from being indoors.
I like the thought of topping them to strengthen stems.
Great start! I have grown Bhut Jolokia ghost peppers for three years, Carolina Reapers for the past two years, and a pepper called Sepia Serpent for two yea rs. All three are great! Actually, the Reaper is the hottest EDIBLE pepper, but not nearly as hot as the hottest pepper, which is not edible; it could kill people and is used for other purposes, not for eating. By the way, Sepia Serpent is listed commonly at 1.5 million SHU, so significantly hotter than ghost peppers but less hot than Carolina Reaper. The Bhut Jolokia has given me ripe peppers as late as Christmas, under grow lights indoors, here in Manchester, NH, zone 5B. This year I am trying to keep my pepper plants alive through winter. I have a 3.5-yr-old jalapeno that starts bearing fruit much earlier in the summer, so maybe I can get more out of my hotter peppers by keeping them alive. As to the comparison of Bhut Jolokia to Carolina Reaper, the former is only about 1 million SHU, whereas the Carolina Reaper is 2.2 to 2.6 million SHU, and the higher number is not a mere straight line comparison hotter; it is geometric progression or something like that, if I understand it right. Anyway, Reaper is more than twice as hot as Bhut Jolokia. Try the Sepia Serpent. They not only are chocolate-colored and the size of handballs, but also are much fruitier in flavor than either of the others, to me.
Hey Charles, I appreciate the comment. I've grown jalapenos, anaheim and other lower heat peppers outdoors since I was a kid, but these are the hottest peppers I've ever tried to grow, and the first time growing them indoors. So far, so good. I really appreciate the info and am interested in what you're doing to keep your peppers alive through the winter. Did you bring them indoors under grow lights or are you just keeping them in a more protected greenhouse or shed? If you click on the link in the description to Mark's channel, you'll see he loves growing them to and is overwintering his in a greenhouse that he just built. Anyway, these peppers sure are a lot of fun to play around with when the weather turns and gives me something to do indoors. I'm a little nervous about trying the Carolina Reaper once they fruit but I think it's going to have to happen eventually. Thanks again and good luck with your peppers.
@@MikeKincaid79 I cut them back by at least half, keep them chilled and with minimal light, basically dormant, and water them only a little (about two cups) each week. It worked for the jalapenos, but so far not for the superhots. I am trying harder this year, with the superhots. They become very lignified, but still may break under load of heavy fruiting, so support the load with stakes. Peppers indoors really attract aphids, so I have to spray them almost every week with Neem Oil and, alternating, Safer Soap.
Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely keep them in mind going forward.
I disagree. The Carolina Reaper is the hottest pepper in the world, even in 2022. No other pepper is hotter. If so, its old wife tales of peppers not being edible. If you differ, give names of "non-edible hotter peppers". I'm curious to see if I can be proven incorrect.
Is almost that time of the year again! 🌿🌿🌿#seedling
Sure is. I always get excited for spring after the first of the year!
Just got my iowa twisters started germinating fingers crossed
Hey Mike, I saw you left a comment on "EdenMaker"s youtube channel on her video regarding rooting cuttings from a commercial rose. You said, "Sounds like a challenge to me", which made me laugh right away! Just wanted to let you know I made several comments about your amazing channel and community, and all I've learned from you. I also shared my own success with rooting some commercial roses myself, so your name is scattered through my comments. Should be enough for a few fresh eyes. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Mike, and thanks again for sharing all your knowledge!
LOL, I remember making that comment. I've always got so many projects going on around here that I don't always get to all of my ideas. I need to follow up on that commercial rose propagation idea, thanks for reminding me. I appreciate all the support and Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
And btw u don't need lite to germinate or to sprout the seeds. Only after the sprouts are 1 half inch or bigger. Seeds don't use uv lite to sprout 😎
I can’t hear the rain over him yelling 😂😂😂
LOL, I'll have to just hit record out in the hoophouse one day
I love growing hot peppers. Never grew superhots bc they don't appeal to me. My favourite is the Madame Jeanette.
Thanks, I'll have to look into that one. When I was a kid, I loved hot stuff and would actively pursue the hottest salsa I could find. Back then, the hottest pepper I could get my hands on was the habanero. Since then I've grown away from hot stuff, although I still put hot sauce and tobasco on everything, just don't "chase the heat". Maybe it's time to get back into it!
very kool experiment mike. i could hardly believe how fast the buggers are growing. can't wait to see whatcha going to do when they are big enough to transplant. cp.
I was pretty surprised at how fast they popped up. I think the secret was all the warmth and humidity. They're doing well and I'm looking forward to getting them in bigger pots. Just trying to figure out how many to keep as I won't have room for them all.
gonna have to grow some of the world's strongest TP after you eat those! jah bless!
Hahaha, I think you're right!
They burn on the way in and they burn on the way out.
Clever idea using the insulation board under the greenhouse to keep things buttoned up.
FYI, in my area which is very cold, Ill borrowe your idea to place the insulation all around my portable greenhouse.
Here's hoping it makes a difference for my tender seedlings.
God bless 💒
That foam insulation is a really great product. I've used it for the same thing before and it works well.
It’s about time you used that Christmas present. Your wife was ready to give it to me! 😉
Hahaha, got it all cleaned up and everything, LOL.
@@MikeKincaid79 It was another great show, big guy!
I'm glad Mike finally learned not to stick his finger right up to an autofocusing camera.
Mike learns new things every day
Peppers are so ez to grow all I do it take the seeds from peppers I buy to cook. And sprinkle them on fertile soil. And yes by summer I have peppers all summer up until September then I pick all after first frost and save 10% for fresh use in cooking. The rest I freeze and yep they keep well.. why grow inside throw seeds on soil in March April and I guarantee ill have pepper plants
Love ur videos. Great job buddy👊🏼
Thanks, Andrew!
Great video Mike .
Thanks, Shannon 👍
My superhots seem to do very well in 5-gal grow bags, by the way, getting easily three feet from the soil surface, even in our short growing season in Zone 5B, Manchester, NH.
Awesome! I'm considering using grow bags for better root growth.
Thanks Mike, good going with the hot peppers. Just a note that Carolina Reaper has lost its top spot, as there are a couple with higher scoville rating; but still one of the top 3 or 5. Ghost pepper is a minnow compared of that.
I have a few reapers that someone gave me recently. Waiting to extract the seeds and plant it in summer.
I didn't know that, I'll have to check it out. I can't imagine a hotter pepper and not sure I want to, LOL.
Those two hotter peppers haven't been verified yet. The Carolina Reaper is the hottest pepper that has been independently verified.
That is a true statement
I will have to try this. I had some issues getting my hot peppers to germinate.
This technique worked out fantastic for me. Good luck!
Very nice video ❤️❤️👍
Thanks!
Is that seed starting procedure recommended for all peppers, not just ghost peppers?
I'm sure it will work well for all peppers. In this video I did Ghost and Carolina Reapers.
Hey Mike, can you do a par test with your meter compared to the apps available for your phones?
Not sure I understand what you're asking but that may be because I don't have a cell phone, LOL. I'm a bit old school, haha.
Sorry man, the tech in me. They have apps that measures the light level using your iphone/android similar to the meter you have. Just wondering how accurate it is. Search "light meter" in the the apple or play store and do a test if you can get your hands on a smart phone (kids maybe :)Thank you!
@@infinitibottle Not sure if you'll see this but I finally got a cell phone, lol, and tested this out with my PAR meter and iphone 14. I used the app "Photone". The results were grossly different. When the PAR meter was reading 137 PAR, the iphone was reading 57. Hope that helps.
i plant my reaper directly to a pot and it sprouted within a week its almost 1 and a half mnth now and it grow fast
Yeah, they do grow faster in big pots, that's for sure.
Just leave the mat unplugged underneath just to insulate a bit.
That's a thought too. Would prevent having to keep going back and forth with it in case I need it.
That was my thought for now. Be careful with the spicy stuff, take it easy.🤗
I like this idea
Wouldn't it be more power efficient to have the light really close to the seedlings but with the power turned down?
You're the winner, Marty, LOL. I've been waiting for someone to ask that question and you're the first. Yes, it would be more energy efficient and I was originally going to do that but I decided to raise the light and crank it up to increase the heat in the tent since it's winter and the ambient air is cooler in the house right now. Thanks for asking!
@@MikeKincaid79 Makes sense, although I wonder since heat rises perhaps it raises the ambient temperature a lot less than heating from below with the heat mat? I've sprouted a few seedlings in the last couple of weeks with the seed mat set to 25c using a heat mat thermostat. Once they sprouted I took them out into the regular ambient temperature of about 21c under some really cheap IKEA lights and they seem to be doing pretty well. During the season I found my outdoor plants grew pretty well in the 20-25c range as it's hot enough, but not over hot, so I'd imagine the indoor plants would be alright without worrying too much.
Humidity tent and heating pad really speeds up the process. You should try the Scorpion Pepper. Better all around than Carolina Reaper . Very hardy with bigger yields.
Thanks for the recommendation. Since posting this video, I've had multiple requests for that pepper. It must be a popular one. I've already sought out a source for the seeds and will probably get some to grow here. You've definitely got me interested in the bigger yields and the hardiness.
The pepper institute of New Mexico has t to them . You get dozens from each plant. Each pepper has dozens of seeds so you only have to do once . If you want I can send you some on the house.
Once plants germinate turn off heat mat!
Hey! Good to see you Mike! I like hot/spicy foods....yum. Hugs to you and your girls🤗💜
This would be the hottest thing I ever ate, that's for sure. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Camelia!
Thank you Mike! Merry Christmas to you and your family and blessed New Year! 🙏🙏❤💜🤗🤗
I just have to say it... If you posted 4 15-20 minute videos per week you would make a great income from CZcams. I would love to see that! I watch all your videos except the ones about Petunias, I don't care for them. Some I have watched multiple times. If you have a few sponsors you could support your family off of YT even sooner. I always enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
Yeah, but he would have to pick his fruit under-ripe like the other youtubers. It makes me cringe when the other youtubers need to pull with both hands to pick a fig, just so they can make a video. I would rather see quality than quantity. People would stop watching if this turned into a listicle channel.
Well thanks for the motivating comment. I'd love nothing better than that. It's a tough game, CZcams. I'm constantly working on ideas for videos. Maybe in the near future I'll be able to make it happen. So far, cutting back at work has helped a lot.
@@justin1730 I disagree. Just because others may choose to pick a fig under-ripe does not mean Mike would. They made that choice, no one forced them to.
@@MikeKincaid79 If you need ideas I am willing to help with that. I have way more than a few people can do. My brain is always going with ideas. Sometimes I wish I could shut it off.
@@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848 Nobody watches videos of people NOT picking and eating figs. It is hard to find original content to make 2 videos a week. Whether it is TV, Radio, or CZcams, the need to constantly churn out new content reduces the quality. Just my opinion.
Using MIGardener seeds! I used to watch his channel.
Hi Mike. Is there any way that we would be able to send you, clips of your viewers experiences to you? I watch your shows again and again.
Yes, if you get into the facebook group, you can post all the pictures you want of your experiences. Link in the description of every video.
Great video and I’ve subscribed to the Overworked Gardener.
Awe, thanks! He's a fun guy to watch with a great personality. His videos are getting better and better all the time and I can't wait to see what he does this summer. I'm headed over to check out your channel!
@@MikeKincaid79 ah thanks so much, that’s great
Enthusiastic gzrdener
@@tannenbaumgirl3100 😍
Hi Mike, do you not put the tray directly on the heat mat? is it best to raise it up a bit? thank you in advance 😁
The goal is to just raise the temp 10 degrees warmer than the ambient air, so whatever you have to do to make that happen. A thermostat is the easiest method but I don't have one so I raise it up with dowels and other objects.
Mike, you never set the container holding the plants sit directly on the heat mat???
Nope, it was too hot and I don't have a thermostat. I raised it until it was at the temp I wanted
Pucker Butt Company...LOL There is a reason they called it that!. I have not experienced it but, my brother had a friend that could not get food hot enough until my Bro took him to a Chinese restaurant. A friend of his owned, he ordered extra hot for him and his friend. The friend said he would never eat that hot again.
Yeah, just the name of the company makes me nervous to eat them, LOL. I'm getting all kinds of dares though so it may have to happen at the end of this. I'll have a gallon of milk nearby!
@@MikeKincaid79 Citris cuts the heat better. LOL
@@MikeKincaid79 Mike, drink orange juice instead of milk after eating something extremely hot.
Hey mike huge fan here, i have a question for you but its tottaly unrelated to peppers. Its about figs, i am revieving some cuttings in the mail of three varieties but i am wondering how far i can stretch those cuttings. Hoe many nodes do i need for rooting figs? If you have the awnser please let me know?
Thanks for your support! When it comes to figs, they will root so readily that you can sometimes get away with 1 node per cutting that is only an inch or 2 long. That being said, your best and most reliable results will be from cuttings that have multiple nodes and are 6 to 12 inches long. The longer and fatter the wood, the better off you'll be. The bigger cuttings have more sugars and moisture reserved in them and so they have a bigger buffer when it comes to time. Lots of room for error with the bigger cuttings. If you spent a lot of money and really need them to root then I recommend going with long and thick cuttings. If you've got plenty of material to spare and they were cheap them you may want to experiment. Maybe this would be a good video idea.
Hey mike, I would like to know what the exact amount of miracle grow you use in your solution. I am growing these for the first time and want to make sure they grow well in the short period I have to grow them here in ny.
I use the scoop that comes with the Miracle Gro. It has 2 scoops, one at each end. I use the small end, which I think is 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. I would start with that and if you need more then you can go to 1 full teaspoon per gallon of water.
I’m interested to know who buys these peppers because you made me look them up and all reviews say don’t eat them! Do people just like to own them?
LOL, people eat them all the time and make salsa with them. I tried one last year and made a video about it but it was too hot for me to eat on a regular basis. I think it's a fun challenge for most people who do this. Here's the video for a good laugh: czcams.com/video/JVNuKEhFWQE/video.html
@@MikeKincaid79 Ok then, based on your sales, I will try to grow some. You won’t catch me eating them though! Off to watch the video.
Off topic but do you have any suggestions for getting rid of wild blackberry vines? I have property up north of you and I'd love to get some landscaping in rather than vines taking over
That's a tough one. If you're not against chemicals then I recommend mowing them all down with a tractor and then spraying with weedmaster or something similar. Otherwise it will take many years of pulling them up every year until you get all the roots.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks, I'll give it a try
I cant understand well English but I can read so I ask you do you use the light all day?! How many hour?! Tnx
16 hours a day
Too Hot for me!!! My geranium is inside now , how c as n I save it inside???
Treat it like a house plant. My Mum just grew geraniums in the house. Never put them outside.
Yep, just get them under some lighting and then fertilize and water through the winter.
With the propagator, how often do you have to water them? and how much water?
You shouldn't have to water these at all until they root and you pull the cover off.
How much watering the seeds need?
Just enough to keep the soil moist.
The bigger the pot the bigger the plant can get
That's true. I'm going to have to give some of these up eventually.
Let me know how i can get the seeds in india
You would have to order them from the website. If they don't ship to India then I'm not sure. Reapers are fairly common now and so you should be able to find them somewhere, especially being in India. Isn't your cuisine known to be very spicy and hot?
How much time from seed to fruit?
I'm in the middle of filming this series so we're going to find out. I've read that it can take 3 to 6 months with these peppers.
You are drowning roots! Only allow water to roots then allow to dry out. Do not put heat mat with water systems that wick up, you create issues to plants.
i think there are hotter peppers than the reaper nowadays. still, i'd never want to eat any of em
I'll have to look into it. Not sure I want to try anything hotter than a reaper, lol. Heck, I'm not sure I want to try the reaper yet.
Sorry Mike, but do you have to shout all the time?
Gosh, of all the shouting I've done over the years, this is one of the lessor offenders. I try to tone it down but I'm really just talking how I talk, lol.
@@MikeKincaid79 Hi Mike. I love your channel but I have to turn the volume down low (and I'm half deaf). Maybe we are a little more subdued in Australia. Keep up the good work.
You need high patience, sir ...
I've got it!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dont eat the hot peppers.
