Hi dear pepper and green lovers! 😊 I have some questions about fertilizing(Ghost peppers). Which fertilizers i should give to my babies in which stages of growth? I know there's sources on the internet but every website, forum etc. says different things about fertilizers and i don't want to make mistakes while i can ask and learn knowledge about peppers better than other sites in r/HotPeppers . 🙇🏻♂️I'll appreciate any type of help and information! Have a nice day and thank you so much! 🌹

It depends how technical you want to get with it. I don’t feed my seedling as I read that they send out more roots in normal soil and then when I’ve planted the plant into its final spot I’ll start fertilising about once every two weeks. In the beginning you want something that’s high in nitrogen to promote foliage growth and when you get decent amount fruits you’ll want to switch to something with higher phosphorus and potassium to promote fruit growth and ripening. This is super basic approach, but works well for me.
Hi there! Nice start!
-Make sure to make some hole in those pot.
-pepper are good plants to exercise watering skills, after seedling stage(so when the first real leaves come out) i did start from” when she is collapsing coz the soil is too dry, water the pot properly. After some time you get the timing and the plant don’t collapse anymore(underwatering, don’t cause much damage in vegetative stage,overwatering is ALWAYS a problem )
If you are in doubt to what nutes you should use, i raccomand Plagron brand witch is sinthetic stuff, and really easy to use, like for every pot culture you need
-A+B (bi-component Fertilizer)
-Cal-Mag(Calcium and Magnesium)
-also some Ph stripes to understand what water you are using is essential when problem arises
