Grow Logs for hot peppers.
Hi! Oh, I love watching that kind of stuff... I am not too experienced in growing peppers, I used to grow some tomatoes but since I moved out from my family house, I didn't have space to grow anything. I bought allotment garden (I think that's the word, english is not my native language) but I can't seem to find time to care about it full time from march to october, it's not as near my flat as I'd want it to be but maybe one year I will make my life a little bit less messy and take make it work. Now I live in the apartment with a balcony, it is at western side and in the summer the heat is kinda out of control. I think it will do! Oh, I dream of the jungle here! This year I bought some chillies from the supermarket and, as I often do...
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.
It should be a good year for growing peppers. My goal is to find the most productive varieties that thrive in the Texas heat. The growlist will consist of mainly Annuums but there will be a couple non-Annuums here and there. I'll post the official growlist later. Cheers! Grow List: Serrano (Ferry-Morse) Jalapeno Zapotec (Downriver) Jalapeno Pecos (Downriver) Jalapeno Gigantica (Downriver) Jalapeno (Terroir Seeds) Jalapeno (Seeds of Change) Black Cobra (THP) Peruvian Cerezo (THP) Cantina Gold (THP) Thai Scorpion (Ramey Plant Farm) Aji Amarillo (TGCM) XL Antep Aci Dolma X (Downriver) Chiltepin (Terroir Seeds) Peri-Peri (THP) Torres Cattywampus de Arbol (Downriver) Datil (Ebay) Datil (Tim) Datil (Pure Florida) Datil...
This GLOG will be dedicated to some hybrids of interest that have emerged from my pepper garden since 2020. I plan to follow them at least until F3 to see if they are worth it. Please note that no seeds will be shared at this time. Let's grow! *DRx GLOG
My buddy asked me for seeds a couple weeks ago. I told him its to late in the season, but b sent him the seeds anyway. This will be his first time growing peppers and he is going with a small hydroponic kit he bought. Well, because he started this late, I thought what the hell. Sooo I ordered a new heat matt (should arrive today) and went out and bought some soil. Im using the same solo cup method that has worked so well before. Two cups, top cup has holes, water from the bottom up. I sowed (three seeds per cup) 1) REAPER 2) YELLOW NAGA REAPER 3) FATALI 4) TEPIN X LEMONDROP143[/ATTACH]
According to the Urban Dictionnary, the word "unexpectational" refers to the active state of not having any expectations... In 2020, I grew a single Devil’s Rib plant, a habanero relative coming from Ghana. To be completely honest, it was without much expectation as I’m not really a big habanero fan! Our summer was exceptional that year so the plant grew very healthy and reached massive proportions. It gave me a shitload of pods averaging 20 grams each, with some weighing just over 25 grams. They were tasty and quite hot too, somewhere between the alleged 414 000 SHU and Ghost pepper level I’d say. At the end of the season I was quite happy I decided to grow it! As usual, I kept seeds from the nicest pods and planted about 30 last...
I've never successfully grown peppers before. My attempts to grow mutants ended in failure. But this season, I'm trying again. I'll exclusively be trying my hands at a variety you guys have probably heard of, known as the Peter Pepper. It's a pepper variety known for being shaped like a private part. I'll be growing the red ones, which are the most phallic. I received the seeds from a shop in Belgium known as Badskin's Garden. Using tricks learned from Khang Starr, I have used a plastic soda bottle and a plastic bag to contain a plant. I put three seeds in there and added water. I put the contraption in my windowsill. I hope this works. Keep in mind this growlog will be updated semi-sporadically.
what up pepper peeps? your boy growyourown here with a bold proclamation: i challenged myself to try to grow all the five major pepper species for the first time; wish me luck! (and give me advice, i could use it) to begin, let's forget what i did last year. (just like i said last year) doing the big five became the goal because there are so many pepper types and flavours i have not experienced before, and that by working within those parameters for this year, i have a chance to grow and discover types of peppers which are mild enough that my wife may also enjoy. (she taps out at habanero heat, but said she'd try the 20-30k range, hoping she might step up to 50k) let's take a look at what we got going on: BACCATUM Aji Cito – 50k...
Just getting this started so I can get a url. I will post more about this in a couple of days. Happy New Year, 2021!
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...
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...
There have been several yearly PNW grow logs, the last in 2017, so @FGpepperguy and I thought it might be a good idea to start an on-going glog for the PNW. This is a community glog, so anyone is free to post here, whether in the PNW or not. Hopefully, this forum thread will provide for some information sharing particular to growing in our crazy, unpredictable weather. So, that being said, welcome all. Don't be strangers! "Yes, we can grow chili peppers in the Pacific NorthWest! Usually."
In this picture are 2 Dwarf Chiltepin from seeds from Semillas that sprouted on February 15. One of them shows signs of starting to branch out. A very nice growth habit for this variety. One of them will turn into a bonchi.

Well here we go again! After my friend @Alejandro took the last two plants off my hands (Jamaican red hab and sugar rush cream), I'm starting from scratch for the first time in a while. Very, very humble beginnings: One sprout and one hook! Granted... they're both basil. :) Still under the lid, waiting for hooks: Alma paprika Looking forward to having these again. I grew them quite a while ago and had good results; hopefully, having gotten a bit better with the hydroponics, this time will be even better. Chocolate habanero Another one I've grown before (not looking to do much new this time around, mostly bringing back the old favorites). I know annuum x chinense isn't the most reliable mix, but if I decide to revive the hybrid...
Like others, I debated on having a Glog this year, but figured “what the heck”. It's been fun in past years, so let's give it a go. Hopefully we'll end up posting pictures like this later in the Season! 🤞
I know, I'm a bit late to enter the party 😬 I will be growing peppers during the dry season this year, which means more work (watering) but less pests (in theory). Fingers crossed 🤞
Under extreme pressure from my peers :lol: I am reluctantly starting my 2023 glog Haven't actually planted any seeds yet, but it won't be long before I succumb to the gentle scent of compost, the lure of germination and the excitement of seeing a sprout I am, however, cleaning all my plant tags if that's not commitment I don't know what is
