Grow Logs for hot peppers.
Links to my grow logs: 2021 2022 2023 This picture is of the seeds soaked yesterday. Today I sowed the seeds of C. Chinense and C. Pubescens. C. Chinense will all sit in the hanging pots in my balcony garden. In 2 weeks I will sow C. Annuum. I do not have the final list of these yet because I have many seeds from which it is very difficult for me to choose. I will edit this message as I decide. Hanging pots: - Fatalii - V2 2022/2023 - 3 plants - Orange Fatalii - The Hippy Seed Co (thanks MarcV) - 2 plants - CGN 21500 - Sulsa - 1 plant - Adjuma - thanks @Sulsa - 1 plant - Humble Servants Homestead SB - V1 2023 (original seeds from MarcV) - 2 plants - PI 215734 - Semillas - 4 plants (last year's revelation, I want more this year) -...
I've been a member for a while but never posted a grow log. My usual garden is too boring for that. I use 20-30 pots and overwinter my mama plants in a hillbilly winter shelter. Our ground here isn't good for in soil gardening and I've not been enthused enough to undertake the work and expense to build raised beds.   Now I have my peppers working the way I want and have the need for a much larger grow to supply a project. The main peppers I'll grow will be reaper, douglah and fatalii. For a couple of years I'll do hay bale gardens and heap tons of organic trash into the area. I have monumental amounts of pine straw, oak leaves and bonfire ash every year to dump in the walkways. I think this will do a world of good to make this new...
I've been told for years that my craziness should be documented somewhere. Well, I'm going to attempt it. Each year I like to start at least 3 times what I am planning for myself. I do fill 3 other (neighbors and family) gardens as well but even so have tons of plants. And on average I have 500 hot pepper plants in our garden, with 35-50 superhots in buckets on deck. (along with 75 tomatoes, okra, tons of cucs in garden) This year I started 42 types of HOT peppers, 12 types of sweet (not for me!). I'll attach photo's later - so in some kind of order) as I have several in my 30+ trays of 48 as I am starting transplanting and putting back under lights until they are ready for greenhouse. There are 3 - 5 shelf shelving units inside...
It's that time of the year, cold & gloomy outside, & inside the magic is happening. Those little green pepper plants are pushing up towards the artificial sun. Who came up first? The early Jalapeño, Serrano, & the Sugar Rush Stripy. A little game we play LOL. This is the best set up we have ever had before. 4 LED grow lights 2 heating mats, room stays at 66 F at night & 74 F during the day. With 22 varieties & 50 plants we hope to have a real special grow for the 24 season, with a lot of great tasting peppers. 😀 When I joined THP I had just moved from Fluorescents lights to the new LED lights. Outside everything is about the same, it's the indoor adventure that has changed for the better. Compact high output...
Hello All, Well, it's that time of year to start pulling out the Heaters and Grow tent to get them super hots and long-season peppers started... I will be starting my adventure on or around the first of the year. I'm just getting things cleaned up and ready. Clearing out old seedsio logs, and waiting on the seed train to see what I want to grow from there. Reviewing my notes from this year's grow season to see what changes I need to make. I will say I have chosen a few plants to over winter. I will be changing my garden's layout this year... and supplementing the beds a bit differently. I know I want to try my hand at goji berry this year... both black and red. I had an interesting hot sauce made with them and I want to try to make...
About the Grow: The (hydro) spice must flow This year I am starting Pepper Joe’s Leutschauer indoors and transitioning them outdoors The entire grow will be using hydroponics Once finished I will produce several lifetime's worth of Paprika, also cornering the market I'm starting 10 seeds and will do a pheno-hunt in my indoor tent for a mother plant Once the mother is established I will do about 10 clones and transfer them outdoors Stages of Growing: Seed starting Solo cups 5 gallon bucket 55 gallon drum (outdoor) I'll document these methods in following posts About Me: I'm not exactly a master grower but I have successfully created crosses and done quite a bit of pepper growing in the past I can't handle any heat...
Hi pepperlovers! I think it is time to get a grow log started for the season 2023. I hope you will join in and follow along. Feel free to give me advice, critics, ask questions and leave comments of any kind! :D As I already mentioned in my introduction post I am growing peppers since 2019. I am lucky I have enough space to try a lot of vegetable growing, but my favourite are peppers of all kind :hot: First of all lets get started with my two main spots for the growing. The first one is directly at the house where I grow the plants mainly in buckets. Here will be the plants I want to visit daily (actually several times a day :D) and have a really close look on. The second spot is an outdoor garden some minutes away. Here I will...
Sooo... 2022 season is over and most of my 2023 plants are already there - no reason not to start a new thread already! 😃 While all my current plants are technically overwinterers, only a couple have grown through the 2022 season and are considered interesting enough to keep for next seasons grow. Let's start with the famous Schneider farms SB plant, which will be going into it's third season in 2023. It currently doesn't look all that nice but that was also the case during the winter of 2021 so no worries here... Top view: Next in row is my Scotch Brains plant... Top view: And then there's the Humble Servants Homestead (HSH) SB, which was also elected to stay for next season... Top view:
Hello and Welcome to my first pepper grow journal. I am not a gardener and I don’t have access to a garden, so I am limited to growing in my basement. I WELCOME INPUT, SO PLEASE JUMP IN IF I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG. I will be using a 2x2x6 grow tent to keep the plants warm and reflect more light. I have a 150 watt ViparSpectra LED for the space. I see that most of the pepper plants that I ordered are only expected to grow 2’ tall, so I’m hoping to squeeze four plants in the tent. This will put them 12” apart which is a little too tight I suspect. I will buy a larger tent (3x2 or 3x3) if it gets too tight (and if I enjoy this new hobby). I’ve been doing a lot of reading and preparation for this hobby….i hope it proves to be a...
Links to my Grow Logs: 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Trippaul Threat Community Grow Purple Thunder Community Grow Wild, Indeed Community Thread Growing in the Pacific NorthWest Community Thread Dwarf Chiltepin 'Hermosillo', Semillas la Palma 2022 Time to quit dragging my feet and get this season underway. Last season was OW plants only with two exceptions. This year I am growing all new plants from seed gathered from my 2022 harvest and limited to Tepin and Chiltepin varieties. If the spirit moves me I might try for some OW chinenses varieties later on.
Decided to drop a few seeds in december for next year so decided to start a '24 Glog early. I'm very lucky in that in addition to a small domestic greenhouse at our house I also have access to a significant space in a commercial greenhouse (our little island used to be the UK's leading tomato supplier but the industry collapsed in the face of cheaper imports from warmer climes so there are a lot of huge greenhouses looking for uses here). In it I grow a lot of perennial stuff that needs a mediterranean climate (or is marginal there) - bananas, figs, tamarillos, various passiflora and my peppers sit interplanted with them. With our mild climate it is possible often to overwinter capsicum of all species in ground in these big...
NOVEMBER 26, 2023 I'm at it again my season for 2024 has just started. Watch me go nuts again. Give it a week or so watching the dirt for my seeds to pop through the soil and I'll likely look like this.I was gifted 10 industrial strength tomato cages. The ones that are 5ft tall and 20 inches wide. BEEFY Sooo im gonna try to grow some matters from seed. Also I have sewn, Aji Limo, BOO's babies ghost, and Farmer's jalapeno. I have a light, a small fan, a small heater, and a heat matt. The tomato varieties are pictured. WISH ME LUCK YOU WILL ALSO GET MANY MANY UPDATES AS MY OUTDOOR FALL GARDEN PROGRESSES THE BOOKS ARE THERE TO TEACH THE YOUNG SEEDLINGS TO READ. DR SUESS OF COURSE.
I've opted to keep details of my crossing projects in this dedicated thread rather than include it in my 2021 Glog Edited this post to summarise what crosses I've got and where they are at, I will try and keep it current. Dates in status column reflect when I've updated the information not when the cross was actually made. I've not included every historic cross I've ever made and ignores anything where I haven't got at least F1 seeds unless I thought it was useful to record. Information might be useful to someone at some point. ChilliCrosser Cross Current Status X001 : Bolivian Rainbow x Cheiro Roxa (C.Annuum x C.Chinense) 🅿️16/8/21: F1 seeds, not grown on yet. X002 : Fijian Bongo x Cheiro Roxa (C.Chinense x C.Chinense) ❌16/8/21...
