sinensis · Feb 12, 2019

hey all, giving this whole gardening thing another shot. this is year number 2 for me, and i've got big plans, but we'll see how it goes, lol i hope everyone has a great season!!!! Overwinters: my basic findings for overwintering is that zero light doesn't work well. they need light! but only a little is fine. leaving them by a window seems more than sufficient to keep them alive. just trim off most of their branches (maybe down to 1 foot or so) and bring them inside if they aren't full of pests. Carolina Reaper this was outdoors in a 15gal root pouch / smart pot (breathable fabric): it was my biggest pepper plant. a branch broke off while i was carrying it inside, but it's doing just fine. here's another reaper, but...

Blister · Jan 21, 2017

After some contemplation on doing a glog this year I've decided to run at least one more. I've scaled back the variety of peppers again and have limited myself to three: - P. Dreadie Select bonnet - courtesy of Malarky - Bhut Orange Copenhagen (BOC) - courtesy of Malarky - Red Jolokia that I grew last year. This one had a very strong scorpion shape and great heat. It had pools of oil in it as well. Since I still have two 1 gallon ziploc bags of dried Red Jolokia peppers I figured I couple experiment a little. I'm sticking with Coco coir again since I've been having such good luck with it over the last few years. I've still got a 5kg block and a bit of General Hydroponics CocoTek. It's affordable and provides a great root zone...

Spork · Apr 18, 2019

Ok, here's the deal with this Glog, I have been growing peppers for years, but not very successfully. I often have not had as much space as I would like for peppers and this year is no different. Also, as the title says, I am starting super late (04/18/2019), I would normally germinate in December and have moved them outdoors by now. So with too little space, not enough free time, and no irrigation set up, let me introduce my 2019 Grow List (Seed Source - Year Harvested) Carolina Reaper (Sonoran Spice - 2019) Fatalii (Seed Saver's Exchange - 2017) Scotch Bonnet - Foodarama Red (White Hot Peppers - 2017) Scotch Bonnet - TFM (White Hot Peppers - 2017) Jay's Peach Scorpion (White Hot Peppers - 2017) 7 Pot - White (White Hot Peppers...

MakeIt20 · Dec 5, 2018

I started my first attempt at indoor growing starting around July or August this year, starting with seeds from Sandia Seed - Tombstone Ghost Chili's, Trinidad Moruga Scorpions, and Carolina Reapers. I started all on a rack using a heated seed starter pad set to 75°F, under two sets of Ecolux T5 bulbs in generic shop light housings in some organic seed starter soil mix. I'm using a cheap 8x4x8 tent space, with approximately half of it devoted to these peppers, and the other half devoted to super sweet 100 cherry tomato plants. The lights are generic "800W" LED lights, one per side of the tent. I have two stationary fans, one located near a fresh air intake, one located at the top of the tent. I have CO2 feeding for 1200ppm automated...

Wulf · Dec 13, 2018

"When I first grew here, this was all Canada. Everyone said I was daft to grow Peppers in Canada, but I grew in all the same, just to show them. They got eaten by aphids. So I grew a second year. And those ones got eaten by aphids. So I grew a third. Those dried out, fell over, and then got eaten by aphids. But the fourth grow...." Am I on my fourth grow? Fifth? Eleventy-seventh? Who can even tell anymore. The important thing is that this damnable bastard country shall succumb to my whims and provide me with peppers if it's the last damned thing I do. (Fast forward to shot of my gravestone: "He died pepperless") Each year I grow, and each year I get a tiny handful of peppers before winter closes in. I bring them in, and...

CraftyFox · Jan 14, 2019

Looking back, I wish I had brought all of my superhots in.. I was only going to bring in one and see how I could manage. Still wouldn't trade this plant for any of the others. I picked this up at the local Fleet Farm early in the summer and left it sit for a couple weeks, neglected in my trailer, before transplanting it to this pot. What you see here is probably about half of it's total crop. While they sunburn readily, they seem to thrive on neglect. All of my peppers were mercilessly grown in full sun on my driveway, mostly in 5 gal buckets. I've managed to clone it, and now intend to work on fruiting indoors. Oct 18, 2018.. Right after bringing it in, post frost. Nov. 14, 2018.. Bouncing back nicely in the south window.

Swinglish · Jul 3, 2019

I found a double flower about to open on one of my Peach ghost plants. I like cool things and for me this is pretty cool! Is it common to see this?

U)<now · Feb 12, 2019

Hey all! I'm back for another season! I'm about a month behind last year's schedule, but still plenty of time since I don't plant out til the first week of June. I think last year I started almost 500 or 600 seeds of around 50 varieties??? This year, I finally cut back, lol. Only did two trays, 144 cells total of 14 different varieties. I'm only planning on keeping 56 plants max, that's what my tent fits in 1 gal (6") nursery pots. However, I'll be keeping 4 to 6 of each variety, instead of only 2of each like last year, so that's where the less is more part comes in! The rest will be given away to friends and family. Here's the pics... (Not pictured is Chocolate Habs, added in after this pic) For anyone new...

Centipede · Jan 14, 2015

I'm growing some yellow SB's that I picked up in a market in grand cayman. I fell in love with the flavor and heat of them while we were vacationing. The hot sauce made from them is tops in my book, i've yet to find a tastier hot sauce than what we brought back from there. I got a hundred or more seeds from them and have started germinating the first batch on new years day. So far 14 days later, 15/18 have popped up and look healthy. My focus this season is going to be on the yellow scotch bonnets but I'll also be growing.... - texas chiltepíns - trinidad perfume - numex 6-4 - ringo - piquillo - kaleidoscope - shishito I'm trying to upload photos but can't seem to figure it out. I don't see where to upload the gallery??? ...

stankar · Jan 12, 2019

Hello to everyone in the new season :hi: Finally I made myself a time to create my first glog on THP so to contribute to this awesome community. I'm growing chilli for 8th season now and I've learnt so much till now, but I'm still making a newbie mistakes unfortunately. After my last season failure I'm heading halfway back to the basics, and halfway to the new experiments and challenges. From my overwintered plants not many live plants left, and from my long lasting plants (5 years) only Dorset Naga cross plant is alive but seems to be dying as well. Since I've had the seeds for this season already prepared, I let them germinate somewhere in October/November 2018, and that I would be adding more so to have more than a minimum I...

SB42178 · Dec 7, 2018

My first GLOG, here is my list. Will start Feb. 1st, 3.5" deep pots in tray. Will be using seed starting mix, as opposed to peat pods the last couple of years. After germ, will put under T5 light until mid march.

SpeakPolish · Feb 3, 2019

Yeah. I started a glog. So my plan this season is two make two sets of plants. I will transplant these sets of plants on March 13. Then I will make a new sets of plants, probably mostly Supes. Anyway here are my plants. Aji Pineapple, White Lightning Bolt, PDNxBMJ White, Chocolate Brainstrain(not doing so good) and Bishops Crown. On March 13 I will plant some Yellow 7 pot from Jedisushi06 and Bold Badger Sauces. I will also plant some Tepin x Lemon drop.

Shawn Reed · Jun 10, 2019

Just wanted to share some pictures of my pepper plants. Ive gotten a lot of good information from this site. Looking forward to a lot of peppers and a lot of fermented hot sauces! I think the plants look nice and healthy! I have way more plants than this of different varieties but these are the ones I am excited about mostly right now. Thanks for checking this out. Peach Reaper Carolina Reaper 7 Pot Douglah Cayenne Red Caribbean Habanero New Mexico State University Conquistador

Ryan_ · May 28, 2019

Starting a little late in the season. Currently germinating - Carolina Reaper Cayenne Purple Cream Snow White Habanero Purple Cayenne Red Tiger Moruga Chocolate Baby Red Numex Twilight Apache 3 Purple Cream's have already germinated :dance: Will be growing a few inside with 2x 35w (175w Equivalent) CFL 6500k lights, so will see how they do.

cdubb2010 · Feb 15, 2019

So I am no doubt getting a late start but I figured I should start a glog for my first attempt at growing hot peppers. I should be able to start them around 2/16/19 when my light shows up. I have some wire shelving and Mylar coming too to set up a grow box. I am debating on a heat pad as well since my light is a full spectrum led I doubt I can get much heat to the soil for germination. I'll update this with pics once I get the seeds going. PS: My habenro tree seeds are whole dried peppers, I assume I just crack the pepper open and get seeds out of it that way? Might start a topic for this if I don't hear back on this thread. Thanks for reading and keep your fingers crossed for me! Lol

Hafners · Nov 20, 2018

After an unexpected event, my Thai plants got neglected and and died, so I'm starting over again with a single plant, an ani rainforest. Still growing under the 4 45 watt unifun panels, with climate at 50% and 77f. Only growing one plant so I can save room for growing some herbs without having to use the grow cabinet that doesn't have climate control. The plant is about three weeks old and growing like crazy. Currently only feeding ph'd water with botanicare silicon blast, and when the fertilizer in the potting mix wears down I'll be feeding with botanicare bloom again. Shouldn't have any cat problems this time, they can't get into the basement anymore.....

windchicken · May 1, 2019

The last few years that I've started a glog I have failed to maintain the thing, and I end up feeling bad about it. But I do want to share with y'all this short video of my plants in the shade tent last Saturday (April 27), just before we put them in the beds. There are 69 Capsicum chinense plants and 116 Capsicum annuum plants:

rghm1u20 · Feb 18, 2019

At first I have to say I never kept a proper log... kinda failed every time. So, don't expect too much from this one :) Not a very professional one, as some I saw here.

Kennylay · Feb 7, 2019

Wanted to wait until some signs of life were showing before starting the glog, and here we are. Will be an outdoor container grow in humid north Florida. Will probably end with at least 10 cultivars. Hopefully the heat and pests will be kind to me this season!! Without further ado some 7 pot choccy and sepia serpent that are just starting their lives! Will be putting about 5 more varieties into towels tonight!! Also i apologize for the terrible quality, im a shaky fella and my phone is rather poor. :D (How long do you guys usually let radicles go before putting into medium?)

Orekoc · Apr 5, 2019

Can't think of a clever topic title, so, it is what it is. I started late this year. Planted on two different dates, 3/24/2019 and 3/29/2019, didn't get them on to the heating mats till 3/31/2019. Here is the list, we will see how many come up. The first 36 were planted first, the last 36 were planted, well, last. The bolded ones have at least one sprouted. The Bold Badger ones are from his big bag o' mixed seed. I took out 6 placentas that either looked different from each other, or were a different color. Then planted 6 seeds from each. Thus, the numbers 1 - 6. Sawyer is starting me some seeds (ones I bought from ButchT), and I plan to buy a few plants from him as well. 1. Saraga Scotch Bonnet - Trident 2. Cobra -...

violentglitter · Jan 20, 2019

... grow those growing skills, that is. 2018 was a bit of a fumble. I ran out of time, I STILL have plants in solo cups that are just now (in JANUARY) podding up. If I've learned something from 2018, and going into my third year of growing (or second of actually attempting more than just 'hey, cheap seeds lets see what I get") it would be to get the shit into bigger pots faster, and get them out in the sun ASAP. I had big plans to try to plant out in ground, but couldn't get the time to spend in the field clearing the roots and such and amend the soil. I also had a moment of thinking that if I planted in ground, Murphy's law would take over and hurricanes would come. This year I'm thinking of maybe going the Walmart-reusable-bag...

WolframMalukker · Feb 12, 2019

Last year didn't go so well. Major problems getting started, lots of plant die-off out of what I sprouted, and poor performance of my plants contributed to a lack of recordkeeping and thus poor results in the mutation plots. However, I did get enough of a crop to keep seeds from most everything, and I have better plans for this year. But it all hinges on getting seeds to sprout, and keeping good records. It's almost time to start sprouting seeds, but this year I'll be using the Jiffy peat pellets as I was given a LOT (1500+) of them for free. I also have the trays and the like to use with them so convenience wins out. I am tired of dealing with big hot bulky lights so my cousin and I built some LED grow lamps from surplus LED modules...

murfle · Apr 30, 2019

Hey folks. I figured it is time to start myself one of the grow logs. It will be a bit scattered as I start this thread up, as I've been all over the place experimenting with growing, as I'm completely new to this. I've always like spicy foods, but I never thought I would be doing any form of gardening. We're basically entering into winter here, but we are in the equivalent to zone 11a, and don't get frost, so I'm going on the assumption I might be able to produce year round, but I also am working on the assumption everything will die as well (hey, I learn the hard way). To help with the cool nights, I am putting up a small greenhouse, hoping to get about 40 plants in there if I can manage to fit that many, so I'll mostly be using...

Wermland · Mar 21, 2019

Hello everyone! I decided to start a grow log to document my grow this year. Its been a while since my last grow, will be starting from scratch. Right now I've got two tents up and running in the basement. One 80x80x120cm with a 400w MH and a smaller 60x60x90cm with a 90W UFO LED. This is what im growing at the moment: Orange Habanero Jalapeno Santa fe Grande Ring of Fire Hungarian Hot Wax I've also got a couple of years old tried Bhut Jolokia im gonna try germinate later this week. Will be ordering some more seeds end of months too, just need to clear out some space :P Im using organic soil and liquid nutes. Edit: Why is my pictures rotated the wrong way? :rolleyes:

bob65 · Jun 2, 2018

I thought I would give this grow log thing a go. It is winter here now, so I have bought a grow tent and some lights and will try and keep some plants alive until I can get them outside once it warms up again. Keeping them alive may be a big ask because inside my house has historically been where plants go to die. Anyway, a while ago I bought some seeds from ebay, before I had any idea about ebay seed sellers. Since then I have done some searching on this seller, and he seems legit. Also sells through a website. I guess only time will tell if the seeds I got are the ones that I wanted. So, I decided to plant some chilli cha cha (from the ebay seller) and some orange habs harvested from my plants last season. I chose these because...

Chilidude · Jan 2, 2019

Hello again, i am yet again starting my season early to grow big and strong plants before summer arrives. Seeds are in the rockwool and some of them have started to sprout. Chilis are for this season: Naga morich Hot paper lantern Limon(c.chinense) Aji golden Aji norteno Aji cito Aji fantasy Good basic easy to grow ones, just the way i like it. I will grow 8 plants this time around in the 26 litre Chinese air-pot copy pots.

Ethansm · Jan 13, 2019

This year has officially started for me! I started last year in a new house with a backyard that hadn't been touched in a decade. Just clearing out a space large enough for peppers in time was difficult, and I learned that the soil is pretty well drained of any nutrients. I put 10 wheel barrel loads of compost, a wheel barrel of perlite, 5 lbs of blood meal where I was going to be planting and it still wasn't enough for the peppers. So lesson learned! This year I really cleared out the yard! (before and after pictures) The before picture is before growing season last year, but most of it was still there. Had a friend with a mini excavator that really expedited clearing it out. It took 4 loads on a 24' flat bed stacked 5' high to get...

karoo · Jun 10, 2018

Hi everybody. Starting early this year . i just can't help myself, first frost hits and all i can think about is germinating a few seeds. Germination: In small pots with coco coir/compost 50/50. In insulated container with heat mat . Temp 28-30 C. Seedlings: Will stay in small pots , fits in trays , easy to move . For about 3 months. I have a small , wooden grow box/cabinat with cfl lights. Grow area: two areas under 40% shadenet/birdproofing . Biggest area, two one meter high raised beds , filled with 90% pure compost Second area , large containers partially buried in the ground to keep them cool. Soil: germination , 50/50 , cococoir/compost after that 90% compost with added ash , spent coffee grounds , fine eggshells etc...

chelicerae · Sep 26, 2018

Hi, Some may recall the first ever kind of successful indoor grow I made (the glog is on this forum). It was less succesful because chinense like humidity and it took some time before I understood that. With two 10l "hempy buckets" they had too much room to grow and my 80*80*160cm grow tent with a vertical HPS turned into a jungle. Some fruits were however produced. -- In this edition I'm running the same 80*80*160cm tent, plus a 60*60*140cm tent. The larger tent has two 5l buckets (vermiculite and perlite) and two baccatums: Aji mango and aji pineapple; the smaller tent has a clay pot with soil and a yellow rocoto plant. There is no HPS light to start with, instead there's a 50w Growking LED and a supplemental G4 (2,6W 6000k and...

heefy · Dec 26, 2018

Rocotos, started in November. Chinense and baccatums have been started in December. Just some stragglers to sow now. This year is much more balanced than previous years. So far I have around: 10 x c.annuum varieties. All yet to sow. 19 x c.baccatum varieties, including 13 of my own varieties/crosses at F1, F2 and F3 stages, if not further. All but a few of these are sown. 25 x c.chinense varieties, including 9 of my own crosses. Not all have germinated yet, so the figure may go down. Includes the first Chockwork Orange F2’s. A chocolate version of the Clockwork Orange. 9 x c.pubescens varieties, including 4 of my own varieties/crosses. 1 x c.fruxim variety of my own. Not sure I showed it to you. I had five seeds to work with...

Sizzle Lips · Jan 27, 2019

Sitting around the house twitching because its still a month or so to early for me to start my grow....but I was Jonesing to do something...I had two small Mazzetti peppers growing in a cup under my lights so I took one and started a little Kratky grow.....at least I get something to monitor every morning when I get out of bed...lol. I have never grown these before but a guy at work brought me a few pods from his plant and I really enjoyed the flavor of these pods so I kept seeds.....and now here we are. I will post the progress of this plant once a week.....once it grows up to my lights I will move it up to the sliding glass doors in the kitchen.

Oregon Guy · Mar 12, 2019

I finally grew tired of buying nursery starts of boring 'ol mild chile's and Jalapeño plants as well as wasting money on mediocre habanero pods from grocery stores. And since I've been gardening most of my life, I figured it was time to try my hand at a pepper garden from seed. Thankfully I found this forum awhile ago and tried out one of the vendors; Refining Fire Chile's (Original post: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/69512-refining-fire-chiles/?view=findpost&p=1617287). With a small budget, I purchased two Sansi 40W full spectrum grow lights, two light sockets, seedling starting trays, a Vivosun 20" x 20" heat mat, and an Ohuhu heat mat thermostat. I built an adjustable wood rack to hold the lights from some scrap pine, made an oak...
