Heyo,
First time pepper grower.
So I started my King of Bell Peppers and Trinidad Perfume Peppers back in mid February using jiffy peat pucks.
Things were coming along and I was told that I need to switch my soil. So I put these guys in a potting soil March 1st.
Now I decided to grow hot peppers almost 3 weeks ago and none germinated. I started over and it's been germinating fine in the jiffy peat pucks. It's been 4 days and I see tap root, so I moved them to proper soil.
Looking into this sub I realized my original sweet peppers were not happy in the potting soil and I'm not sure if I stunted their growth.
they been in light for almost 16 hours a day for over a month
i did bottm feed them fertilizer once a week 3-2-1 Biofish When it was in the potting mix.
3-4 true leaves are currently now visible
they are super short like no more than 2" tall. They haven't gained much height.
repotted March 13th and they didn't look like they had much roots anyways. Last picture is what it looks like.
room temperature is about 17-19 C and sometimes warmer.
Current Soil type:
– coco coir
– gaia worm casting 2-0-0
– gaia fishbone meal 6-16-0
– perlite
I don't have the exact ratios but
60% is coco coir
20% is gaia worm casting
15% perlite
Generous sprinkle of fishbone meal
Do I need to do anything else or am I just waiting?
