Ghost Pepper/ Scorpion Moruga growing
Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to planting anything, I am currently growing Ghost Pepper and Scorpion Moruga, the plants seem to be growing but one of them has died and a 2nd has just fallen, please share any advice. I currently have these growing indoor with a heating mat. I usually water them when the dirt turns light brown. Should I already remove the small net and transfer them into a bigger pot or is it still too early ? Should I still keep them under a heat mat ? I am currently living in Southern California which the weather is not too cold and not too hot. Here are some pics, as you can see the ones circled red is one dead and the other just fell

Comments (2)Yah, I threw mine out into the green house with no hardening off. Just be careful not to let the temps sky rocket inside when the sun is out. Your plants probably won't be happy at 100 degrees. Bruce...See MoreMoruga scorpion
Comments (3)i now have three plants starting to grow their second set of leaves. transplanted them to 6" pots and i actually used the miracle-gro moisture control potting mix and sifted it to remove some of the thicker fibers and forestry compost but left some on top of soil to hold moisture in the soil better. looking to take any ideas on creating a good soil for the outdoor stage and curious as to when i should start the hardening off stage for these super hots? have already begun a light breeze on the plants to strengthen the plant itself. getting roughly 18 hours light 6 hours of dark under growlights and partial natural filtered uv light. . just had 5 more plants germinate will be doing some variable growing to see what will create best growth since this is my first time growing these super hots.and yes the morugas will be 150' away from any other pepper types. and will be making sure all flowers are bagged so as not to cross polinate for my future grows plan on using the best plants to pull seeds from. ill post pictures every step of the way and keep you guys up to date. so your saying that the real hill to climb is getting plants past second set of leave stage?...See MoreMoruga Scorpion seedling leaves changing color
Comments (14)It is hard to understand just how bright outdoor "shade" really is because our eyes are so good at adapting. But you'd be challenged to provide any artificial light that bright. And of course the spectrum is perfect: it's what the plants evolved for. Given the described conditions, I'd say your plants are at a reasonable growth stage and that Josh and Bruce nailed the light problem. Let us know if you have any further problems. Good luck, Dennis...See Morescorpion and ghost peppers

11 years agoThanks pepper rancher. They can last quite awhile, I would not use it to produce fruit as that more than likely wont happen. I should really have 4 tubes instead of just the two. But it works even my Habanero is starting to bud. They been under the lights since Jan and as the weather is in MD does not seem to be anywhere near going outside its been below 50 every night and we may hit 60 during the day this weekend.

10 years agoI use a window and 16 hrs. of supplemental light . These plants are 6 weeks from planting the seed. Ive used a greenhouse in lots of past years but this works better. Temp. between 75 and 80 and no aphids . Sun through a window on its own is not enough bot with supplemental light it works like a charm. Heating a greenhouse can be your biggest expense. Had one 36 by 96 and it cost $130 a week and the aphids were a constant battle.
I have more seed then I know what to do with check my list and send me an email. A window sill with supplemental light is the way to go unless your doing hundreds of plants. I also use a Bloom fertilizer half strength once a week to promote roots opposed to leaves. I think it makes for a stronger plant

9 years agoIs it normal for my ghost pepper seedling to have a browns tint to them, although they appear to be health.
