We increase the number of Pepper ovaries in the simplest ways. Personal experience, proven over the years
Good afternoon, dear readers! Many gardeners want to increase their yields, and I am among them. My attempts to do this were not in vain: I found a way to increase the amount of pepper ovary.
If you also want to grow more beautiful peppers, be sure to check out my article. Below I will describe three ways that have helped me achieve high yields.
- I decided to plant pepper seeds not in a seedling box, but in an individual container. I used plastic glasses, but you can also use peat glasses. Cassettes, the cells of which are three by three cm in size, could also be suitable.
This is necessary in order for the pepper to grow without delay, since disturbances are possible in the seedling box during the growing season. This method of seedling will avoid the need to transplant peppers, as a result of which there is a risk of loss of root integrity.
You don't have to think about shortening or using stimulants that might not work anyway.
2. I achieved a decrease in the temperature in the room where the peppers were growing by doing this at emergence. I managed to reach a temperature from +14 to +16 degrees, which is the most optimal for growth.
If the temperature is higher, then it becomes possible to pull out the seedlings, and if at least slightly lower, then the growth of pepper may slow down, since the plant will spend its main strength on strengthening roots.
Such a temperature regime will ensure the rapid growth of the plant, and as a result, a large number of buds will appear on time. If you cannot reach a temperature of +14 - +16 degrees, then try to achieve at least +16 - +18 degrees.
3. In the room in which I grew the peppers, the daylight hours were 12-13 hours. It is optimal because peppers prefer a short day.
I found that if the daylight hours lasts more than 14 hours, then the ovary will be less. Please note that this duration is optimal for northern regions.
Make sure that the room is not too light at night, if necessary, shade the plants after 6-7 pm.
I also made sure that the light was not too strong, which would damage the formation of the ovary. Choose a room that can provide these conditions.
Here are the main ways to almost double the amount of pepper ovary. I hope you will use my advice too and achieve a similar or better result.
