Another tip I've heard is to deliberately stress the plant out. You can prune 1/3 of the foliage, and even jab at the roots a bit to cut them (not a ton). This stresses the whole plant out, and it goes into survival mode, trying to finish the seeds, which will ripen the fruit.

I don't have a good site (nor budget) for a large greenhouse (yours looks amazing) -- I primarily plant in-ground. I probably have 2-3 weeks to go before the first hard frost. I've been taking out pepper and tomato plants that have no chance of producing anything useful, and also moving smaller pepper plants that are shaded out into pots. I've used the approach of cutting off branches and putting them into water for several years to good effect - I can usually gain 2-3 weeks of ripening time (works better with some varieties than others).

As far as I know, capsicum are very sensitive for ethylene. I used to work at a greenhouse, running the heat and power plant, what I needed to avoid on any circumstances is to feed ethylene into the bell pepper greenhouse because it would ripen the peppers and start the dying process of the plants. (At the end of the growing season, for the last two weeks it is deliberately fed into the greenhouses to ripen off the last pods.)

I would be wary of making choices about how many plants to grow in the future based on this year. I realise that this is your first proper year with your current setup so it is difficult to tell, but this year has been exceptional. I have grown the same chillies, in the same way, in the same greenhouse for about 15 years. This year's crop has been ridiculous. I gave up on my plants a month ago, not because they were done, but because I could no longer justify the water and feed for chillies I couldn't possibly use. I already have 3-4 times my normal crop, and there's only so many I can eat. I have so many frozen, and so much fermented mash, that I'll only be growing a few plants for fresh chillies next year, and maybe the year after as well.

Great video Shaun! I really like your greenhouse(s). One question about sauces that I have come upon recently is what is the best way to age a ferment once it has completed. I often make sauces that do not really taste complete and they sit in the back of the fridge for several months to a year and then I try them again. They often taste so much better. I know that sauces like Tobasco sauce are aged in oak barrels for quite a while, in order to mature and develop their final flavor. Do you have any insight on which way or conditions might be the best for aging a sauce?

Shaun, are those all grown this year or do you overwinter the plants and if so what method do you use? I am in Melbourne, Australia and I tried with some Thai Hot plants that were great producers last year but all of them didn't make it, some I left in place and other I cut back and planted in sand in the garage. I am thinking about a proper greenhouse as I have just lost my second batch of 50 pots of seedlings due to a couple of hours of direct sun (whilst being dragged around the shops by shmbo!) It is getting a bit late to try again and the prospect is for another wet cold summer (La Niña).
