The Hot Pepper · Dec 30, 2024

Hey growers! We're about to ring in the new year! Use this Group Glog in 2 ways: Perhaps you don't want to start your own Glog, and that's fine! Just drop your progress posts here! You might have your own Glog but it is very specific, that's fine, drop your more random posts here! Either way, have fun, and enjoy your 2025 grows! THP

I've almost always had a garden of some sort with my family but never been super into it. I used to be out in the garden when I was little up until highschool got too busy. This year 2025 I decided to venture on my own. Now I'm out almost every day looking at my plants. Working nights is hard but gardening seems to keep that stress level down. First time growing peppers. April 5th: using the double cup method. April 15th: Some tomatos too. Feeding liquid seaweed from the bottom. April 28th: Had already started the hardening off process for the 2 big ones. Just a few days before potting them up. Not the best setup but I have limited space. May 10th: I got them potted up after hardening off. Lets see how nearsource soil does...

hadanero · Dec 22, 2024

Time for a new glog! Last year's grow went okay. It could have been better, but I'll take what I learned and try to improve. In particular, a number of varieties from one specific vendor all failed to germinate or failed really quickly after germination. Before I realized they were specific to one vendor, I started looking for a better heat mat and fan. My brother gifted me what seems like a much better heat mat and a much better fan, so I'm hopeful that'll help all the seeds/seedlings do better this year. Not necessarily top of the line, but better than what I was working with. Next up, I think I need to upgrade my lights. I'm using some SANSI bulbs that have been good, but I've got my eye on this panel. And I'd like to think...

spicy.curry · Apr 13, 2025

Started seeds late this year. Usually I start too early so let's see how this goes. Seeds started March 20, 2025: Trinidad pimento (family favorite pepper) 7 Pot Jonah (This year is my first time growing a super hot. Debated if I should grow a scorpion or a 7 pot for my first.)) Freeport Orange Orange Spice Jalepeno (Lemon spice has been one of my favorite peppers, so it is time this year to try growing the orange and pumpkin ones too) Lemon Spice Jalapeno Pumpkin Spice Jalapeno Seeds started April 4, 2025: Jaloro jalapeno (I haven't seen much discussion of this variety, but it seems to have some ornamental value.) Mucho Nacho jalapeno (ready to try a hybrid jalapeño. During prior seasons, I wasn't impressed by Craig's jalapeño or...

JAB Farms · Feb 9, 2025

Ok, the craziness has started at JAB FARM! I had fun posting last year so will attempt to do again with better updates as we go. I know we picked well over 20,000 peppers last year and think with the fertilizing schedule I worked with last season, I think we can do more :)

Doctor Scoville · Dec 29, 2024

Hi all, To start this Glog first this years list. 15 plant i try to overwinter yet half of them are more likely dying than thriving. anyway on newyears day i will start sowing the chinense. next to come in febuary. Have a good one and may 2025 be the year all aphids kill themselfs before the try to eat your chiliplants:fireball:

Englander · Dec 14, 2024

Hi Guy's The madness has begun again ! 🤪 😜😗 My 2024 superhot chilli trial turned out far from ideal trying to find superhots I like but most importantly will thrive in my particular micro climate (my wee Scottish greenhouse) Firstly 2024 weather was rubbish little sun alot of cloud and temperatures much lower than previous year's 🙁 and let's face it "Scottish sumers" often cool and wet for long periods at best ! Add to the above by a number of mistakes by me 🙄 Such as leaving my horticultural bubble wrap on for most of the season, I'm sure it exacerbated into the natural poor light levels of 2024 :whistle: Then my lack of seed continuity labelling :banghead: which lead to my culling my only Dorset Naga :seeya: And a "gigantic"...

ThePepperTrent · Aug 26, 2024

What's up everyone? It has been quite a while. Last time I was active was in 2017, when I lived in Arizona, I am in Houston now. Figured I would start a Glog for 2024/2025. Had a few plants this year that were doing fantastic and were starting to produce but hurricane Beryl had other plans for them. So instead of going crazy and not growing anything, I decided to start one little Lemon Starrburst plant in DWC and it's doing awesome. Will photo dump but the plant is a couple weeks old now. Started the seed in soil and just moved to the bucket a couple days ago. Here is the lineup for 2025: Primotalii Carolina Reaper California Reaper Lemon Starrburst Super Bhut Jolokia Yellow Naga Not much but about all I room for. All seeds from...

SadisticPeppers · Feb 9, 2025

(Link Added 5/7/25) Here's my TikTok video updates for my Glog I plan on restarting small. I ordered Chocolate Reaper seeds from Matt's Peppers (ETA Tuesday 2/14) and will be using my patio to grow the plants. I measured it out, and with the 5-gallon Home Depot buckets from my previous venture, I should have space for 24 on the balcony, using drip irrigators and a fertilizer injector. I'll be sure to post up pics soon when I begin the seeding process. Update 2/14/2025: Here's the first pics. Thanks to Matt's Peppers for the quick delivery and the freebies included in the package. I'll be starting my grow this year with Chocolate Reapers.

Ohjay · Dec 24, 2024

I've done some glogs before, but the last two or three I've failed to update after a while during the season. So I figured it would be better to have a glog that will be continuous, documenting each year of growing to the best of my abilities, no promises though. :eh: Anyway, I've mostly been an indoor grower and 2024 was actually the first year I could do a partial outdoor grow. Granted it was on a balcony, but that counts, right? The grow season is a bit short here, so I will keep doing indoor grows but moving plants outside as soon as temperature permits and space allows. Since this is just a short introductory post I think I'll finish with links to my previous glogs and the list will be updated with links to the first post in this...

SatanicFlatIron · Dec 30, 2024

CHAPTER #01 - LIKE REPTILES It's never too early to say "it's never too early to get started" :seeya: so this year, to counterattack a possible fake summer effect like in 2024, I started 3 months in advance (18th of december). Chiltepin cappuccino - 2024 I sterilized the seeds with a 9:1 water/bleach solution, and presoaked them for 24h, then I put them on paper towel on every heater of the house. As soon as the roots emerged, I put them in soil (instead of waiting for the cotyledons to open on the paper, that maybe was causing more stress to the roots). My friend gave me reptiles heatmats and a reptile UV lamp, that I'm using to heat the soil filled pepper cups (my apartment is cold, now I have 5C degrees more). 🐢🐍🦎 Soil is a...

CaneDog · Dec 18, 2024

Seems like it's been forever since I made a glog post, but 2025 is right around the corner and as someone once said, it's never too early to get started! Last year was a tough year with aphids getting into my early season starts and generally cool sucky weather, so I'm hoping for better in 2025. I'll kick things off with some pic's of my current indoor grow, which I've taken over the past couple/few weeks. First up is a Scarlett's Chili x Poblano. They're cool looking plants with great tasting mild peppers. I'm doing a lot of work with Jalapenos and planned maintain this variety going forward while also backcrossing it a bit toward its jalapeno roots. Another Jalapano type I have growing inside is Chile Rayado. I like how fuzzy...

DementedWelder · Feb 8, 2025

Here we go for this year. 3rd time's the charm? Started getting seeds into the ground a couple of weeks ago when it decided to rain and then freeze for two days. Not really trying much new here. I am always finding myself going back to these powders over others. Last year was a huge battle with no rain, wind, no humidity, the never ending sun, aphids, and spider mites. It really does appear that I was extremely spoiled in SoFla with that tropical climate. Learning Texas while working nights for the first 1.5 seasons has been rough. Upgrading from 5gal to mostly 15gal grow bags this year. The misters I've had for a year are finally going to be installed under my grow canopy. As soon as walmart severely discounts promix again some 25...

Welcome to the The BalcoJungle, season 2024/2025 GLOG!!! <= First Year I've had plenty of pictures to choose the representative image from but this one is just beautiful, so, I couldn't say no to it! Ok, I will show you my growing list for the year now, then do a really long summary of the last season - this was my first one, I get to be excited and brag a lot about what I learned and what do I love about what etc etc. It will be in a spoiler, because it is SO MUCH TO READ and nobody should be forced to see that wall. I am proud of pictures tho... And then I will go into the next season, because it has already started.

Marturo · Mar 1, 2025

Hello everyone, welcome to my 2025 Glog. 2024 was a great year for peppers we grew many new varieties with great tasting pods. 2025 is looking good so far we just got the seeds planted & on the heating mats. A little later than last season however with LEDs we needed to start the plants later. Last season the plants were a little root bound by plant out.. 😃

nickde · Feb 8, 2025

I am very excited to start from seed this year. I don't have a lot of experience with (hot) peppers so I decided to do a trial for a several varieties of one specimen. Initial plan is to have chinenses in unheated greenhouse (and maybe in pots?), while annuums/baccatums outside (again, maybe in pots). Current list to grow: Carolina Reaper Habanero Chocolate Habanero, Golden Naga Morich 7pot Primo Moruga Green Yolo Wonder Jalapeno Ruben Anaheim Shishito Sweet Apple Kampe Jalapeno Black Cobra Jalapeno, Mucho Nacho Wild Purple Guatemala Zebrange Champion Habanero, Mellow I planted the chinenses on Feb 3rd to give them a head start. I was a bit too excited, so I decided to also start a few more: Carolina Reaper Habanero Chocolate...

PaulG · Sep 11, 2021

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."

jgundo · Jan 27, 2025

Well its that time of year again when i start round 1 of my peppers. In the Grow Tent.. i want to wish you all a great growing season. I hope I'm better about staying on top of things this year.. LOL ... Below is the starting of the list. Round 1 are in the boxes after 30 days i will sort and start Round 2. i will work on Keeping things UpToDate as i go..

thegreenman · Aug 9, 2020

Thanks to Bhuter for prodding me with his pics of my Crosses, I've decided to grow another round for this fall/winter. Barring any disastrous hurricanes, I hope to get the Pepper band back together as it were. I dropped seeds from 6 of my crosses (plus Datil) yesterday on a heated tray inside my garage/storage room. If the heat tray doesn't cook them, and with any luck, I should have some sprouts in a few days. In this batch (BSxHA)xPB (Lolo) F2, F3 (BSxADY)xGC Sunspot F3 BSxAP Aji Sunrise F4 JBxBJB Jabooty F3, Brown CDNxGC Sungold Habanero F3 And Datil from Pure Plorida Depending on how these go, I may drop a few more soon. I have one or two more crosses left to plant. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

NJChilehead · Dec 29, 2024

Before we get started, I wanted to post this image for the GLOG cover. This was one of the last harvests I got from my 2024 plants, which were picked later in December: This is probably the earliest I've ever started pepper seeds! Usually seeds are started between 3/1 and 3/15, but this year I'd like to experiment a little. My reason for starting this early is that I'd like to get split crops from my C. pubescens next year (a spring and a fall crop). Looking at the average temperatures for my area, it looks like the best temperatures for fruit set are from about 4/15 until about 6/1. Afterwards, it would be too hot for fruit set until September: Considering the typical 8-week time frame between germination and plant-out...

tsurrie · Feb 14, 2025

Hey all Hoping for this season to be at least as good as the last. Started a few varieties a good week ago, and the winner sprouted today = Papa Dreadie! This is the pic from september. This season's lineup - eggplants in one of those pots (usually they dont sprout for me) - sweet Kurtovska Kapija pepper - Aji Jobito - Pimiente P.L.M. - Scotch Bonnet MoA - Fatalii - Cherry bomb - Calita Red Habanero - Red Savina Habanero - Chocolate Habanero - Papa Joe's Scotch Bonnet - Papa Dreadie Scotch Bonnet WINNER - Papa Dreadie Now waiting and checking for the others to sprout ... Have a great season y'all.

ZanderSpice · Mar 25, 2025

Keeping it simple for 2025. Last year I started in early to mid March and the faster growing plants got out of hand. First seeds went in today March 25th. We can get a surprise freeze through the end of June even though it's 85 today. These are my first 12 varieties but many more to come plus tomatoes, herbs, etc. Germination trays will move to a repurposed stand up freezer with a controlled heat mat and basic led panel. Then grown under stronger lights and likely transplanted before being moved to small unheated greenhouse when nighttime temps stay 45F and above. A larger, heated or at least somewhat insulated greenhouse would make this much easier. Can't go cheap on the greenhouse though because we see regular strong winds...

PurpPepp · Mar 5, 2025

The goal is to (have fun and) breed a pepper that has purple skin, purple flesh, purple foliage, good flavor, and medium heat (~30-50K SHU). I’ll also experiment with fermented sauces, paprika, etc. If you want to give me feedback on what makes the “perfect” purple pepper, take this survey!

serrano · Feb 3, 2025

Hello all. As every year I grow some variety of plants and since i just started new season with this cotton sprout I had an idea to run a grow log. Hopefully I will find time to document my progress here. This year I have couple of jalapeno plants in mind, large orange thai i've got form this forums couple of years ago and maybe cayenne and some suave/dulce habanero type chilis (yet to be obtained). Beside peppers i'm looking to grow some classic tomatoes (costoluto/red pear), bottle gourd, cucmbers grafted on pumpkin and variety of pumpkin/squash and mentioned cotton (pots, indors). Last frost date is May 15th to give you some idea on a climate. Cheers.

Englander · Dec 15, 2024

Hi Guy's My new Capsicum pubescens "Outdoor Scottish" trial has began 😁 seeds sown today 👍 in commercial seed mix topped with vermiculite in heated propergater. Having to grow hot and superhots in a Greenhouse here in Scotland space is at a premium so personally I won't "waste" space on mild species such as pubescens however anything hottish that will grow outdoors I see as a free bonus 👍🙂 however my journey into Rocotos has surprised me by how fond I've become of them 🥰 they are truly one of the most beautiful chilli species you can grow if you haven't I'd highly recommend one or two as a side project but be warned they are highly addictive and rather tasty not to mention having a different burn making them seem hotter than they...

Sooo... 2022 season is over and most of my 2023 plants are already there - no reason not to start a new thread already! 😃 See my previous glog... https://thehotpepper.com/threads/2022-too-early-to-get-started.75362/ 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...

hmartin · Mar 30, 2025

My first time trying to grow anything from seed - the poor herb sprouts I bought and killed curing covid notwithstanding... Starting a little late because we've had an unusually late cold season where I am. I am a little concerned about the humidity buildup inside of the box :think: Probably overdid the initial watering (as I tend to overdo things...). Going to let it dry out a bit for a while so currently I'm doing the hardest thing aka waiting patiently 😬 Still have a few more seeds coming for the unfilled rows!

HELLO AND WELCOME ALL TO THE 2025 EDITION, WHERE I GO ALL BLACK EVERYTHING: in the past, i have been enamoured with the lovely look of purple/black foliage plants. my mystery plant from two years ago was a pleasant surprise as it should have been possibly a purple reaper, but turned out to be something much different-looking which kept me interested to see it play out. the peppers themselves were nothing great, but the plant was so magnificent-looking. therefore, it's always been back of mind to want to try more black/purple plant varieties. so this is the year and we're going full tilt with 11 different types in this theme, all of whom are purported in the 1M+ heat range and are strikingly beautiful from the website's pictures which...

Tybo · Feb 7, 2025

Hello everyone. It's been a long minute since I've posted anything here. Life decided to throw a lot of health issues my way and while some have been resolved, there are some that never will be. I have been checking out the site without logging in most of the time and see some pepper people I knew are still on here. I'm gonna attempt a Glog and see how that goes. I have lots of seeds in the fridge that are getting pretty old so I thought I'd try to start a few. So far I've tried to sprout some wilds with out much luck. I do have a 2018 model of Galapagos Long from Canedog that popped rather quickly. Looks like it will be my glog pic. I began with a soak in a H2O2/RO water mix for 24 hours then placed the seeds into Rapid...
