Sooo I want another crop!

[Richtee]

Outta my pepper plant. Do I start bringing it in and cut the light hours, and hopefully get the peppers to turn, harvest, and then back out in the full daylight time?

I say let it roll. It's temps more so than anything else in my climate. My peppers will produce all season, multiple pickings, until we get the hard freeze.

All that said, I'm not an expert. Just the way I've always done it.

Do you mean you want to fully ripen the fruit and then start over again?

Never brought any plants indoors and kept alive until the next season but your idea sounds like a plan.
I know Alex has some peppers that he has kept over years so maybe he could answer for sure.

I'll have to do some reading on this one.

Not sure how big yer plant is but it should keep putting on more and more till frost...I always tend to pick the first fruits when they reach full size but before they ripen...I think this causes the plants to produce like crazy...The rest I let ripen...Always have more than I need...and thats alot

Yeah Rich...each plant has its fruit load...meaning that there are no more nodes to bear fruit at...by removing the first buncha pepps early it only allows the plant to grow more of the fruit bearing nodes...AKA more peppers

Pick early and often for best production.

I dunno... Lee told me it was a Serrano, but the peppers "stick up". Sooo I'm thinking in might be a cross of the serrano and a Thai. Hot li'l fuggers.
