SCIENTIFIC NAME:

Capsicum annuum

CULTURE:

Sow seeds in desired medium 6–8 weeks prior to transplanting. Maintain a constant 80–90°F (27–32°C) soil temperature. When first true leaves just show, transplant the seedlings into cell-type containers or blocks. 2" or larger containers will produce larger, stronger root systems; 4" blocks are the standard. Grow plants at 70–74°F (21–23°C) days and 68°F (20°C) nights. Fertilize with a complete nutrient solution (EC 1.5–2, pH 5.2) or equivalent as needed to keep plants dark green and healthy. When transplanting into the greenhouse, try to maintain temperatures of 73–74°F (23°C) during the day and 69–70°F (21°C) during the night for the first week to promote rapid vegetative growth and root establishment. 7–10 days after transplanting into the greenhouse, lower night temperatures to 64–68°F (18–20°C) and keep a daytime temperature of 70–75°F (21–24°C). For two-stemmed plants, use a plant density of 3–3 1/2 plants/square meter, which results in 6–7 stems/square meter (9 sq.ft.). Plants can be pruned to 4 stems, maintaining 6–7 stems/square meter (9 sq.ft.), but fruit will be smaller. Remove flowers up to the second or third node after initial branching to allow the plant to reach a suitable size before trying to support a fruit load.

TRELLISING:

We recommend pruning the plants to 2–4 stems and trellising them up a string, like greenhouse tomatoes.

HARVEST:

Harvest peppers when they are 80% or more final ripe color.

DISEASES AND PESTS:

Use crop rotation or new media to reduce soilborne disease problems. Use regularly scheduled releases of beneficial insects to control pests.

DAYS TO MATURITY:

From transplanting.

SEED SPECS:

SEEDS/OZ.: 3,200-4,150 (avg. 3,700).

TRANSPLANTS:

Avg. 950 plants/1,000 seeds.

MINI:

10 seeds.

PACKET:

25 seeds, unless otherwise noted.
