Today I decided to bring my pepper plants out of the greenhouses to see the real world
Kinda funny how the story goes.. My wife who has a serious brown thumb.. told me I might be "babying them too much".. It dawned on me.. 3 years ago I had the best grow year so far (given we had the weather for it) but still.. I had none of the knowledge I do know now, none of the online research I've done and they produced better and fuller.. After hand pollinating all of my plants in my greenhouse for the last 3 weeks I decided to let mother nature take its course and put them outside of the GH.. I read that without circulation pepper plants wont pollinate so I'm hoping the wind and bees will do it for me We will see how it goes. Once first frost comes they're comin in the garage.. And I'm gonna light my garage up lika f%$#in Christmas Tree 
Btw.. I thought I would add a couple side notes..
Theres alot of talk that pepper plants can pollinate themselves. True. BUT. I've seen a bit of both..
I'm growing a good 35 pepper plants.. Everything under Habanero heat was self pollinating just fine.. about 90% of the flowers on my 3 varieties of cayenne, my serrano del sol has been 100% flower to fruit, and everything else in that heat range hasn't had a problem doing it themselves..But all of my superhots have had a serious problem going from bloom to fruit without my help.. which is why I decided to bring them outside.
I kept them in the GH for one reason and that was for pure seeds.. But I decided having peppers to harvest was more important. Besides.. Hybrids are pretty cool
Thanks for reading
