juanitos 2019 grow log
Welcome to the JuanitosPeppers 2019 glog   Thanks to all the long time readers and people who followed last year. I hope to make this glog a little bit better!   I’ll try to do weekend update format with photos and captions. I’ll be happy to answer questions or discuss growing during the week too.     Last year was pretty successful.   Saved lots of seeds   I spent all winter break thinking about what varieties i wanted to grow. I want to keep a good balance of flavor, heat, color, species, cost, size. Looking to expand my seed stock so i’m growing a couple collections (brainstrain, ghost) also trying a couple wilds for fun, a few mild peppers for normal people, and the best medium peppers (moa, bahamian goat). Can follow along to...
Here we go again! ;)   This year will be a mix of in the dirt and container growing. Mostly in the dirt. I have some OW's going, 5 are cut back, 6 are pubes that still spend time outdoors as the weather allows. I have pH issues in the dirt, working on that, and hoping for some better results this season. One thing the wife and I decided is to NOT grow into the fall again. I was pulling plants the same weekend I started my seeds. I'm using 4 2 bulb T8's with 6,500K bulbs, and 1 4 bulb T5 with I believe 6,500K bulbs.   So here's the list:   Planted 12-3-17 ~Aji Amarillo ~Aji Dulce ~Scotchbrain ~Scotchbrain-Morugawelder ~P. Dreadie's-Windchicken ~BOC-Windchicken  JA Habs ~Aji Oro ~pdn-bonda w PaulG ~pdn-bonda p PaulG ~pumpkin...
Never been good about this but going to give a Glog a try.  It's time to start seeds here in Kansas.  Some do it earlier ..... now is when I do it.  I've selected my seeds and divided them into Group A and Group B. Group A will be started this weekend.  Group A includes most of my hotter varieties.  I use the paper towel method to germinate seeds in lidded cups on temperature controlled heat mats.  Then I will transplant to 3.5" pots  .... more on this later.  I use T5 lighting systems.  Depending on the variety, I will ultimately look for 1X-4X starts.  I growout in 37 raised beds.  I grow as a hobby, to give away, small time sales and to process.   Group A germination candidates are: 7 Pot Burgundy...
hello to all, my growing season has already begun for some months, I'm 'cultivating mostly wild and pubescens, recently I also added some chinense and ornamental annum, many plants are already great in pre flowering, others are born recently . the first part of the cultivation I did indoor, 110w neon lamps and 50w led light, the second part of the cultivation is outside the cold greenhouses until the temperatures will rise again, this will happen in mid May. some varieties I'm growing are: tubocapsicum anomalum c.caedenasii c.tovarii c.flexuosum c.praetermissum c.chacoense c.chacoense purple wiriwiri c.praetermissum cumari pollux c.eximium c.galapagoense baccatum var baccatum (brasil) baccatum var baccatum (bolivia) jamaican bird...
Dragon49's 2019 Grow Log
I started to sow a month ago and finally have something to show for it.  Here is the story before I get to the pictures:   Back in 2014, I got to enjoy the exquisite flavor and perfect heat of a Pimenta de Neyde x Bhut Jolokia - F6 Open Pollinated. I saved some seeds and grew it out the following year.  I only grew one plant, but it grew true and produced 220 pods in a 5 gallon bucket.  I had some pods tested and they came in at 158,400 SHU.   Excellent heat, but far from deadly and a perfect compliment to the sweetness.  I saved those seeds, but took a four-year break from growing from seeds.  The cool thing about that plant is that it grew literally right next to a Yellow 7 Pot and I'm welcoming a cross.  I labeled seeds from...
Getting harder to source true Scotch Bonnets but the challenge continues. Each season I thank those that have helped me continue the quest to grow every variety and log their history. As with any variety there will always be favourites but I have tried to mix up this years grow and go back to those that sometimes do not get grown and those that are new to me especially the white bonnet I started on the 11th January with a few no shows I sowed the second batch a week ago and overall germination has been good so here is the list : St Barts Market - stc3248 Belize City - stc3248/Jedisushi06 P. Dreadie Yellow P. Dreadie Red - Texas Hot Peppers Cappuccino St Lucia Papa Joes FreePort Orange Foodarama Yellow Jamaican Long White -...
Hey THP...been a while and much has changed for me and my family. We accepted orders to Charleston, SC and now reside in a small town just north of there called Moncks Corner. I haven't really had a grow in three years, so it is going to be nice getting back out in the dirt. My modest list thus far:   Red Brain Strain 7 pot:   coheed Orange Brain Strain 7 pot: gnslngr 7 pot Monster Infinity: gnslngr Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate: gnslngr Reaper  Charrapita Yellow Primo X (my cross) Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion Jay's Red Ghost Scorpion Bhut Orange Copenhagen SB7J: Romy 6???

This is sort of update 0, as I haven't finalized which peppers I'm growing yet. But I show a rough list and some ongoing projects I have in the basement. I'll post another update when I start seeds in a week or so. Here's the rough, working list of the seeds I'm starting so far. I'll probably change it around a little before I start them.   https://bit.ly/2Qu8bTH
WHP 2019
Going to try to have a little glog, mostly pictures probably.  I am sure I will lack the time to keep it up as usual, but hopefully can update some pics from my phone.   Crude grow list is below.  Tried to update it for plants that didn't get in, but is roughly correct I think.   7  Pot Congo Chocolate 7 Pot Brain Strain Red 7 Pot Brain Strain Yellow 7 Pot Burgundy 7 Pot Cinder 7 Pot Douglah 7 Pot Jonah 7 Pot Madballz 7 Pot Orange X 7 Pot Slimer 7 Pot White 7 Pot Yellow Long 7JPN Aji Margariteno Amnesia Andy's King BOC Andy's King BOC (Purple) Apocalypse Giant Armageddon Arribib Gusano Avan B9BPO Bahamian Beast Peach Bahamian Beast Red Bahamian Goat BBG7 Ghost Jami Orange BBG7 Naga Brown BBG7 Orange x Jay's Pink Purple BBG7 Red BBG7...
I pretty much took the year off as I did not plant a single seed for 2019. All I had were overwinters that I neglected a bit and due to a poor summer did not produce anything to speak of.2019 is over and I am looking forward to 2020 for several reasons. But politics aside I will address the grow.   i am going to grow, chocolates!  Yes, Chocolates sound like a great idea.   I have grown fond of bhutlahs in addition to some old standbys like brown moruga chocolate bhuts, maddballs etc.   I plan to grow several selections in containers as usual but if I can get my ducks in a row I may be going back to in-ground grows. Looking back over the past 5 -6 years I have found my plants did much better in-ground vs container grown. I feel this is...
Well folks, let's try this again. I wonder why I do this, am I a glutton for punishment? Do I really need all of this? The world will never know. I believe it is time well spent and I enjoy it. So here goes. Last year was a bust, took some time off and regrouped. This year, I have a master plan. We will see what unfolds from here. No photos and no list yet just because I am putting the soaked seeds in the dirt in the AM. There are 14 on the list right now but that number is expected to double, if not triple. I am awaiting seeds from different sources and they will be added to the list. Once I have a few minutes and everything in front of me, I will finalize () my list and post it. Wish me luck, this year should be exciting. Stay tuned...
I was thinking about possibly taking a year off.   Last year was my best year growing but the pepper maggots turned me off so much that I lost interest and left way too many peppers on the plants.  I can't let this happen again.    All this talk about the Sri Lanka Chili Red in the growdown for this season has gotten me pumped up.  I started looking at the ole seed collection and have come up with the start of a plan.  I gotta get those Sri Lankan Reds planted so here is my first group of peppers that I will plant.   Starting with all Chinense and of course a few cells for the Sri Lankas.  Using the same Parks BioDome's that I have used successfully in the past.  60 cells in a 10 row by 6 layout.  I split it down the middle and do 10...
J.H.Skarby amateur growlog
It's my first time doing this, so please correct my mistakes and.. Be gentle.. :) I started some of the seeds in late 2018 going through to febuary 2019. Due to harsh weather conditions my plants has only been placed outside recently on a permanent basis. There is a lot of wind where I live, and in this country the temps have been going up and down - much like how the wind blows.. Some plants have been severely set back by these conditions. I expect nothing special of my plants - with a few exceptions where som plants have been producing flowers and pods for a while now. I grow Peppers etc in soil but am using coco coir during the winters, occassionally. Im experimenting with fabric pots to see if they work any better than plastic...
Meatfreak's 2019 Grow
Hi all, been a while since I've posted something here. I did grow in 2018 but no glog that year as life was to busy as it was. However I made some good progress on my own crosses again and 2019 will be an continuation of my years of work. No clear idea yet which varieties I will grow this year but it will mostly consist of my own ones. To start of this glog I will share some pictures of my 2018 pods.   Past 2 years I haven't had any green plants showing up on my Pimenta Lisa grow out, F7 this year. Dark Chocolate Golden Caramel Peach, sand like color although hard to tell from pic   MFPJ2 aka Green Murupi   MFPJ12 is aka Goronong White, F5 this year!      
Getting seeds ready to soak this week today and attempting to bring back some old school 7 pot strains from the late Silver Surfer on here and planting my own crosses and growing out seeds from the late Jack Chapman AKA Jack Superhot.  Hoping to have a better season then last year.  The heat was brutal and my plants struggled to produce.  Debating on growing some wild strains too.  I also need to plant AJi types by march.     5 way cross JC Destroyah MC Wrecking ball x 7 pot brown 4 way cross JC Billy Boy Douglah Chocolate SS Peach ? x Reaper EC Yellow mix, could be yellow brain, yellow 7 pot, or yellow billy boy douglah SS Yellow dystopia WL Red Brain Strain SS HP50 Gum Red MC HP50 Gum Chocolate MC Red Douglah Billy Boy SS Original Red...
Indoor 2019
I figured I'd give another glog a go. I have finally got to the point in the season where I am going to have to decide who makes the cut to go into my hydro system and who heads to the compost pile. I only have room to bring 20 plants in to run over the winter. Unfortunately I have too many to choose from. I will post pics once I get thru collecting seeds and have my system back up and running. Pics are the first half of seed selection.
Hi all! This is my first year growing anything. But I can get obsessed with my hobbies, so I figured that detail and observation would help me achieve some sort of success, even on my first try, despite starting late in an already short northern season. Cayenne (Bonnie Plants) bought July 12th (~18" tall then), now in 2.5 gal pot Serrano (Bonnie Plants organic) bought July 12th (~16" tall then), now in 1.5 gal pot Poblano (generic label) bought July 12th (~16" tall then), now in 2.5 gal pot Tabasco (Bonnie Plants) bought July 22nd (~20" tall then), now in 1.5 gal pot "Sweet Heat" (Savor) bought July 22nd (~8" tall then), now in 1.0 gal pot Flaming Flare (Gilbertie's Herbs) bought July 28th (~18" tall then), now in 1.5...
Just throwing this up here as I don't have a list yet.  Going through my seeds to see what I need to order and I have the itch to plant already.  I know my staples will be planted this year, 7 pot burgundy, TS Yellow, Mustard Hab, Yellow Fatalii, Jigsaw, but not sure what all else will get planted at this point in time.   Onion plants are ordered and I am putting in orders for tomato seeds and all others.  Will probably buy a pack of paper lantern seeds as last years didn't grow true and I like the pods hanging down.  Not much for their taste, but they have a pleasing look to them.     To be continued...
Donnie 2019 - mostly own crosses
So, finally something to share... :party:   First up is my attempt to improve on Chichuacle Amarillo, which is nearly impossible to grow here in Denmark in my climate - so it's been crossed with one of my crosses which involved Thunder Mountain Longhorn, Pequin de Ischia and Naga Morich. I now have a variety that matures around 5 weeks earlier than the original Chilhuacle Amarillo. It seems more cold hardy not so prone to disease during prolonged wet weather - and I think flavor is great too. Presenting the "Normanillo" F5   Next is a cross between Hot Palette and Black Pearl named "Normann's Fiesta" it is in the F5 generation. It ripens from purple to red through some kind of brownish colors.   This one is a sibling which showed up...
Deolater 2019
Howdy all, new guy to the forum here. This will be my second year growing hot peppers. Last year I got into the hobby when a friend gave me some of his extra plants. It was a ton of fun and I had some good results, but this year I'm going all in.

Caranx Thailand farmlife
Hello! I should have started this glog some weeks ago but i have been pretty busy so it got delayed a bit! Some background: I started my first grow and pepper glog last year. At that time I lived in a urban area on a island and didn't have much growspace and it turned out the neighbourhood was heavily infested by broadmites and many other pests. Once they was killed off the would return 1-2 months later and in the end I gave up the glog and cut down all peppers except two, a Aji Limo and a mystery pepper. Fast-forward to 2019 and i got married and 4 months ago i moved with my wife to her hometown on the countryside. I now have access to a 2 hectar farm where were we just started building a house. The plan: 3-4 10*1.2 meter raised...
Always late to the party, at least as far as this grow log is concerned... Here's what's growing at this end for the 2019 northern hemisphere summer: 7 Pot Primo Aji Fantasy Aji Lemon Bahamian Goat Pepper Espelette Fatalii Red Cap Mushroom Red Habanero Tabasco Short Yellow   The 7 Pot Primo, Ajis, Espelette, Fatalii and Red Cap Mushroom are new for this year. Meanwhile the Red Habanero and Tabasco Short Yellow are layovers from last year, after having been over-wintered, cut back and re-potted.   The Bahamian Goat is the senior of the group, being from a 2016 grow and still going strong!   Photos to follow...
Howdy everyone, it's that time again where it's coming out of the middle of winter here in Adelaide My previous glogs are famous for not being updated! Hopefully this time I'll keep posting the progress.   Things got a whole lot more exciting this year with the sale of my apartment. We're renting a place for a year while we save up the rest of our deposit for our own house. That means I get to transform the garden at this rental place into something really good!   This year we have: Jalapenos - Unlike last year when I bought a Jalapeno that turned out to be NOT a Jalapeno! Malawi Birds Eye Regular boring capsicum bell peppers (booooooo) Tomatoes Cherry Tomatoes Eggplants (Aubergines for you weirdos in other countries) Lebanese...
Bold Badger 2019
Well it finally happened.  I knew sooner or later my luck would run out.  You see, I don't actually know what I'm doing when it comes to growing plants.  I've just been winging it so far, lol.  I kept waiting for them to start looking better before I posted a glog, but at this point I guess it's futile.  I don't know where I went wrong exactly, maybe it was a combination of things.  For one I moved the seed starting rack to the basement, where I guess the temps were a bit lower.  I was hoping that the heat from the lights would be enough, and I'm still not sure that it wasn't.  The soil stayed pretty warm to the touch for the most part.  The other problem may be lack of nutrients in the potting soil.  I'm pretty sure I used miracle grow...
NH Jalapeños 2019 (Runty Lives)
Runty Lives! He's had a rough winter under the Aerogarden lights, but he's finally adapting well and setting fruit.   Runty's first born (Junior) has had a great run in the Aerogarden. This will be our third harvest from Junior.   Three seed starting experiments and the lone Cayenne from last summer. The seeds were started under the the AG lights and ran into problems. I had to replace the lights last year and I think there's something wrong with the replacements. Regardless, moving the starts into the window has done all three a world of good.   And finally, after seeing all your 2019 starts flood my inbox, I started my own 2019 yesterday. Might be a little early, but screw it, let's see what happens. My original plan was to wait...
I have more than enough SB seeds now, way more than I have room to grow for, so I decided to create a poll to let you people help me in selecting the most interesting varieties! :)   I'm not going to start my grow just yet, that will have to wait for somewhere in February. That is, if I can wait that long! :D   I want to limit my grow to 10 varieties. I can stretch this to 12 if absolutely neccessary but I prefer not to.   So let me know what you think!
Charlesquik's 2019 new greenhouse glog
Hey there guys! Another wonderful year yet to come! Here is this year progress in one post :D   We got a monster apollo 20 led growing light. It's amazing          We finally finished installing the greenhouse!   Its a full aluminum greenhouse with poly-carbonate twin-wall. Even the bolt and nuts are aluminum and I must say it was a pain in the ass to install because if you torque the bolt too much it snap pretty easily. Also it has been a year since we bought it used and disassembled it. Took us a whole day to reassemble, but that greenhouse is awesome so all worth it  :party:           I have only 13 plants left from 24. Had some aphid, over watering and sun burn problem. This is not my best year. At the same time last...

Podlover's glog 2019
Hello all, In anticipation of the new season I thought I'd start my glog. Plan is tot sow in february maybe using some T8's or like last year just on the window sill. Mid may everything goes in my 2 greenhouses. I have 3 Reapers, 2 Habanero Mustards, 1 Mme. Jeanette and 3 7pod Caramels(1red pheno, 2 caramel) overwintering. All sown feb 2018 except the Mme.Jeanette in feb 2017. New seeds for this season are: Anaheim Hungarian Hot Wax Naga Morich Pimientos de Padrón Rocoto Yellow 7 Pod Brain Strain Red 7 Pod Bubblegum 7 Pot Congo SR Gigantic Red Tabasco Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Red And Serrano & Jalapeno which I also grew last season. Can't wait to get started!
Well, it's that time of year where old fashioned folks are making resolutions, and I want to resolve to work on my GLOG consistently in 2019. 2018 was a great year, despite some considerable setbacks. I managed to grow far more chiles than I could ever hope to eat, so I gave tons away. In the end, a few disappointments aside, it was an overall successful season. The same cannot be said for my GLOG. I neglected the fark out of my 2018 GLOG. This year, I want to post at least once a week, no matter what. At this point, I don't want to post lists or anything because I have a herculean season ahead of me. See, I intend to overhaul my yard, build some beds, order up some topsoil and compost to fill then, amend the soil with all kinds of...

b3rnd 2019 update
Hi guys! This year I'm mainly lurking here. I'm following a few projects, some glogs and check for any interesting posts daily. I just haven't gotten around to contributing a lot this year. I had great plans for this season, but as always life tends to get in the way. My dad got diagnosed with cancer. Although he caught it very early, that kinda stuff still gets to you. It seems he's in the clear now though, so that's nice. Also the usual stressing about money and work got to me a little. All in all I didn't really feel like dealing with my 'internet life' as well.   All is not bad though! My SO and I each got an allotment at the local community gardens. They're right next to each other, so we basically have one big allotment. They're 4...
Krimbles's 2019 Grow Log
Hi everyone! I've grown peppers for a couple years now, and posted some pictures of my plants on here last season. This year I decided to go in better equipped than my previous years, so I setup a 36x60x72 grow tent and started all my seeds in rockwool cubes. I got some seeds from Atlantic Pepper Seeds, and some from Puckerbutt Pepper Company.    So far I've got a White Fatalii and Yellow Scotch Bonnet in the 18 gallon DWC tote. Other varieties I currently have growing in rockwool and in coco, are Aji Pineapple, Pink Habanero, Chocolate Habanero, Carolina Reaper, purple Bhut Jolokia X Pimenta De Neyde cross, Bolivian Rainbow, Purple Jalapeno, Farmers Market Jalapeno, and Purple Serrano. There's also a couple Tasmasmian Chocolate...

Rob's First Grow 2019
This is my first grow of any plant ever. I have never had a reason to grow any and usually not enough space to as well. Now I have space and can't find super hot peppers in my area.   -The Plan >Soak in tea >Germinate stored in tuperware with damp paper towels in the over with the light on    >I am doing this so that they stay warm.

Growing Peppers Indoors 400w Metal Halide
Hello everyone,   About a month or so back I started some pepper seeds growing indoor under light. The 400w Metal Halide recently got upgraded to a new more efficient bulb that should last 1.5 to 2 years without much diminishing intensity. This is usually a common problem with MH bulbs. So far I have 1 pepperoncini (oldest most bushy plant) Jalapeno hybrid (not sure which it is Edit It's called Ring Leader Hybrid) Banana pepper (Heirloom) and lastly a Jimmy Nardello (dinky/sickly/yellow looking plant) Not sure whats up with the JN plant possibly over watering. It's been growing for 3-4 weeks and is so small idk. Also just ordered Golden Marconi seeds can't wait to get them germing.   Soil - Promix bx, Seafood compost (mixed in the...
