I had an extra plant that I started late and thought I would try an outdoor grow in pure coco and perlite. I buffered the mixture in Cal-Mag and planted it in the lightest colored fabric bag I had (2 gallon Dirt Pot). I will be feeding it with General Hydroponics CocoTek grow and bloom formulas. I like adding coco to soil mixes but never did a pure coco grow, especially outside in the summer heat. I have a deep dish saucer to put under it to help with keeping it moist. We'll see what happens. I should get some pods as last year I picked the last of my serranos 2 days before Thanksgiving here in Bama.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

So far so good... buds are coming.

Got my first ripe pod. This is my third time growing this variety.

I already had the nutrients... figured I'd use them up instead of letting them take up space and gather dust. Next year I'm going to do more coco grows. I rather like the way it performs. It stays moist better than I ever thought it would outside.
