Told myself I'd wait till February to soak seeds... Can't believe I made it. Things were way too crowded in the grow room last year with a 1/1 start and around 100 plants.
Cutting back on the grow as well. That could end up being a lie lol but I'd really like to get to a place where you can name all the pods just by looking at them, instead of 5 varieties that all look the same.
Will start soaking seeds today. Anyone have advice on a peroxide soak... 1 part peroxide to 10 parts water?
Alright, here's the list with very little chance of changes unless they don't germ... multiple plants of some
Bahamian Goat
Bhut Jolokia Solid Gold
Bhut Jolokia X Chocolate Habanero

Start a Grow Log for your growing season.
Starting to germinate seeds I received from another member of the forums today. Got some reaper, bhut, 7 pot, and brazillian starfish.
Big shout-out to Saiias for em'. I will definitely try to keep the log updated and track all the major progressions.
Let's get this season started!
Hello!
I wanted to share my little grow station, i started 3/11/19. My buddy gave me some seeds. I have Lemon Habs marked with yellow label, white habs marked with white label, bhuts marked with red label, and chocolate habs marked with purple label. (As well as 2 avocado seeds and 2 little meyer lemon seedlings) Some have purple stems, some have darker pigmented cotyledons, some have purple viens on leaves. As you can see there are some singles and then some with a friend. I wanted to move approx. half outdoors to see what grows better with a friend or not. I have an 4-bulb HO agrobrite t5 system, each bulb giving 6500K and 5K Lumens. It sits approx. 2-3 inch above seedlings. Its on an 16/8 hr schedule.
Any suggestions on watering...
hello my friends,
this is my 1st grow log. i will grow reaper outdoor without using synthetic chemical fertilizer, pesticide, fungicide, growing media ... also i don't use potting mix. no perlite, no vermiculite... no no no :shocked:
recipe#1
reaper seeds
seeds are from WhiteHotPeppers.com, one of the best pepper vendor.
growing media
it's lowest quality of my vermicompost.
worm specie: african night crawler, primary food: aged dairy cow manure. this recipe i didn't feed worm with insect's exoskeleton so chitinase level will not be high.
fertilizer
photosynthetic bacteria, created from egg + fish sauce + water from river + sunlight (20 days).
i'm brewing worm tea right now. 460ppm :beer:

First time growing peppers indoors!
Was able to germinate some Thai Hot, Cayenne, Purple Jalapeno, and Serrano peppers. I ordered a bunch of seeds from White Hot Peppers but honestly I think at my own fault I haven't had much success with germination. I have some Isolated Bohemian GOAT, Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion, 7 Pot Bubblegum Chocolate Long, Devil's Tongue White, and some scotch bonnet seeds I am trying to germinate right now.
Below is the Purple Jalapeno at day 4
Day 14 of Purple Jalapeño
Day 24 (Got a new "1200 Watt" Phlizon LED Light)
Here they are all together: (W/ Thai Hot, Serrano, Cayenne)
I am planning on getting a small grow tent in a few weeks and also have a large deck to grow in the...
This is my first Grow Blog (glog)!
I want to share with you guys my ongoing "fertilization experiment".
I am a rookie grower from San Pedro Sula, Honduras. I have started growing superhots this year with somewhat moderate success. On my first set of plants, I was unsure of what ferts to use so went a bit crazy and threw anything I could get my hands on at them, with very little control. I don't have access here to the great variety of organic and chemical fertilizers you guys have over in the US and Europe. My results were varied, with some plants having very good pepper yields while others almost none. Heat was intense in some plants and mildish in others. My morugas where as hot as a normal hab while the chocolate bhutlahs were lava...
This is just a small glog where I will be testing out finely sifted coco coir versus chunky coarse coco coir.
I used a brick (Nutrifield 5kg block) which was expanded in my bath tub and then let some coco dry out. It was then sieved and seperated into two piles, fine coco and coarse coco.
This idea came from Blister and you can read more about it in his thread here.
Supposedly this coco coir was buffered and RHP certified but it has been washed with 5ml/gallon of calmag (PH'd to 5.8) to be safe.
I took some cayenne seeds from a fresh pepper and dried them and then soaked them in diluted black tea for 12 hours.
Then I planted 7 seeds in 1 cup of fine coco and 7 seeds in 1 cup of coarse coco.
The cups were placed outside in the sun...
I started soaking some seeds on about December 1st, trying to get an early start this year. Grew slooow through December and first week of January and then got some growth. I'll put up some recent pictures later.
I've also started planning for outdoors. Bought some bales of straw for compost making. I'm wondering about herbicide residue in the straw so I threw a seedling in a pot with only straw. It doesn't absorb much water at all so I have it in a double cup, outer pot has no drain holes. Gotta be careful about moisture.
Straw stacked
Covered
Seedling test
I'm interested to see what happens. I hope I don't get any signs of herbicide damage because I'd like to be able to compost all this straw and expand the garden.
Current seed list:
Biquino red (C. chinense)
Biquino yellow (C. chinense)
Demon red (C. annuum)
Lemon drop (C. baccatum)
Purple flash (C. annuum)
Cumari Alongado white flower pheno (Now in its third year) (C. praetermissum)
Purple flowered baccatum (C. baccatum)
CGN 22084 (C. chacoense)
Tepin x Lemon drop F5 (C. annuum x C. baccatum)

Jalapeno Rocky F1 (C. annuum)
Sweet pepper seeds planted (All C. annuum):
Mini red
Mohawk
Snack box mix
I also built a grow cabinet this year. Currently running a rather large 200W CFL bulb.
I'm perhaps naively disappointed in the growth rate however. I've had seedlings in there for nearly a fortnight now and they've barely changed in form. I'm concerned i'm blowing...
I will try to keep this updated better this year!
I have a ton of plants still alive outside. I just pulled about a half gallon of pods today. I haven't decided if I am going to pull them all, or find more room (that i dont have) to plant. I would have to start going 3-4 plants deep!
Anyways on to this years seedlings.
I starting with 4 seed flats. Shelf is lined with black/white plastic sheeting. I plan on opening it up some if heat gets excessive once the new light comes in.
Lights will be a Hydrofarm 4x54w T5 fixture, and I will be adding 2 ocsillating fans as well. Heat mat is on a thermostat, which the lights will be on afterwards to avoid an extreme overheat.
All seeds without parenthesis are from Whitehotpepper.com...
All the seedlings I started last season died they stunted out indoors an when moved outdoors it jumped right into a early summer.
So I got some la bomba jalapeno's form a local garden shop & ordered cleo dragon ,cherio roxa & russian purple tomatoes form cnn .
I loved the cleo dragons & hated the cherio roxa's .
I started last season at feb 10th this year I will sow seeds on feb 21.
Here the list
Hidalgo
Kori Sitakame
Sinahuisa
Xochiteco
Zapotec
Miscellaneous
Habanero De Arbol
Hot Apple
Hababon Peach Cross

I have a missing order form baker creek for my pollinators an beneficial's
The glog is a work in progress just wanted to get it up I plan to put links to the varieties later
Thought I'd post a few pics of what I have going on indoors this off-season. I used to do a winter indoor grow about every season, but this will be my first in a couple years now. I went a bit over-board with the number of plants, as usual, but I've culled a few already and I have expansion room if needed.
I'm using a handy little extra walk-in closet to start things out. Keeps temp well and makes it easy to chill and work with the plants.
Most everything's potted up into 1g Boxer Browns now. Here's a few of this season's players.
Baha Goat
Fatalii
Bhut Jolokia White - topped it early on as it was already wanting to branch like crazy
Butch T
Kathumby starting to bud up
And this guy is a 7 Pot White that...
So I've been trying to find seeds for these, and messaged a guy on reddit and he said he had these.
I said the two light ones probably won't be any good, but the dark one has a chance, told him I would gladly take them. He then said he found a dried on in the cabinet, and I was like now we got a real chance.
Got them in and extracted the seeds and this is what they looked like.
#1: Light Colored Pods
#2: Red Pod
#3: Dried in Cabinet Pod.
Currently I have them soaking in some H2O2.
Will update when I get them in the dirt later today.
i wasnt on this forum last year. so i thought id post up what i grew then.
Well I finally settled on what plants I'm going to grow this year and wanted to send out a big thanks to all that I have been gifted or purchased seeds from.

Hey! I hope you are all having a good start of the season. Loving this warm weather so far.
First year having an in-ground garden. No longer living in the NJ pine barrens with that awful sandy "soil". Living right out of Philly these days and the soil is nice clay. Peppers seem to love it.

Hello everyone!
Decided to keep track of my growing this year and hopefully you’ll join in!
Did some pretty big seasons back in 2010/2011 but since then I’ve had to keep it small due to restricted living space – Not anymore! Finally settled in a beautiful apartment in Copenhagen with relatively large terrace. Fingers crossed for a warm summer and I should be set!
This year I am growing some of my old seed crop from 2010 (Mostly just to see if there’s any life left in those seeds), together with seeds from White Hot Peppers and Bjarne (Local seed supply & creator of the Bhut Orange Copenhagen)
Starting the seeds and repotting once indoors, hoping to have my plats outside in early June depending on weather. Right now germinating...
Hi there, been awhile since I posted..but I have been continuing to grow peppers every year.
The last couple of years I have had some pretty solid hauls..I have been encouraging Volunteers and want peppers to just grow themselves..so at the end of the season I throw all the old pods around the grow beds and just let them all sprout themselves next year. I selectively weed out the weeds and leave all the pepper sprouts to battle it out. Survival of the fittest.
Pretty much the plants in pots i purposely grew from seed, and the ones in the garden are all volunteers. The Volunteer's all originate from a gnarly brown bhutler pheno which I have continued growing for the last few years..
in no particular order..here are some images of...
WARNING: I am seriously a newbie. I guarantee I have no clue what I'm doing, so you will probably see me do really stupid things.
Well, here I go.
A little background...
Fall of 2016, my then 3rd grade son brought home a cabbage with some school contest sponsored by Bonnie plants or something like that to grow the biggest head. I hadn't grown anything since I was a kid and my dad kept a small garden, and thought it could be fun. It didn't live long, and my son bugged me to let him grow something again to "help the Earth". Spring came, and he talked me into buying probably the cheap 4/$1 seeds of all kinds. Something about seeing those hooks pop up had me hooked, and I started growing a few pepper plants to support my love of heat...

So thought it might be fun to keep a Glog on my first pepper grow!
Went back to Europe in June to visit family and bought a bunch of seeds to bring back to Thailand. Returned to Thailand last week and first seeds went into my DIY propagators 6 days ago, second batch was started yesterday and the last batch will be started this evening.
To germinate the seeds i first put them in water for 24 hours to soften up the shell and after that they were put into pure cococoir.
Once they come up some will be transplanted into a cococoir/perlite/wormcast mix and some will go into some experimental mixes since im trying to find a good potting mix that have some food in it already so i dont have to feed all of them as often as with the cococoir...
Hi Everyone!
I'm new here, new to growing peppers, but definitely not new to growing in general. I built a small hydro grow-box out of a wardrobe and have been using it for a couple years now. Due to space limitations, I can only grow 1 or 2 plants at a time, but I'm hooked. I've grown tomatoes, ground cherries, basil and some others and now I've decided to try my hand at peppers. I'm making this glog to show my progress and ask questions as well as get help from experts if anything seems off or needs fixing.
Since I always tend to believe "go big or go home" I decided to try my hand at growing a reaper! I'm not sure if I'll eat the fruit myself, but I do have several interested parties when they're ready.
I started the seeds in the...
I’m not growing a lot this year. I ordered six Superchile plants from CCN. These always grow well in my garden which doesn’t have an ideal lighting situation:
Hello everybody, old friends and new friends alike. The last couple three years have been challenging for me, but come hell or high water, 2018 will be the year of the pepper. I'll try to fill in some details going forward, but for now, I mostly just want to get this glog started. The one in 2016 petered out before its time and I didn't even start one last year. For any who would like to review better times, there are links to previous years' glogs part way down the first post in the 2016 glog:

Hello everyone I'm new to the forum. Just got permission for posting in the rest of the forums. Yay! I have just started 4 jalapeno hybrid seedlings growing under a 400w Metal Halide. There isn't much to see yet today is probably day one as some of the seedlings are still sprouting. Just starting to get their seed leaves poped up out of the soil. As for soil I'm using 10" pots with a mix of peat moss, sea food compost, perlite, and vermiculite. I like to make my own soil this way. Pictures will come next week as my camera is crap and wont get close enough to get the little sprouts yet.
Any questions just ask or if you just want to say hi do so please any and all feedback is welcome.
Cool plant - it has darker leaves, pods go from a purple immature and ripen chocolate.

Start-up of a new farm this year and continuation of my existing raised beds. I'll start germination of seeds in mid-Feb and continue that for about 6 weeks (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant) until it is time to plant peas, spinach, lettuce and cabbage in the ground. Notable progress will be posted here from time to time.
Well, I've been gone a few years from the board, and away from growing peppers, but looks like life is pushing me back that way again.
I recently (last month) closed on a 25 acre farm in Central Illinois with some primo soil, and I'm going to give a commercial grow a test run.
From up on the roof, when I was doing some roof repairs on the outbuildings. Not much as far as the eye can see, but cornfields...
Has a 4 stall garage and a horse stable on the property
Probably do my grow room upstairs here after I insulate it
Built some doors for the horse barn and patched the roof last month

I have a job that requires meticulous record keeping. Consequently, when it comes to leisure pursuits my note taking can be a little lackluster. This glog is my attempt to find a happy medium between keeping a laboratory notebook, and not remembering when I planted things and how long they took to grow.
A quick picture of the gang right after I brought plants in from the garden to over winter. The grow tent is an inexpensive one off of amazon with dimensions of 4’x4’ (1.2mx1.2m). The two on the left are hydroponic plants that have been grown inside the apartment for the past 3 years. The remaining have all been dug up out of the ground. I stripped all of the leaves off the plants to combat aphids that came inside with the plants...
Hi,
These are my 15 day old pepper, they struggle with fungus gnat and fungus problem but it seems they recovered.
I use double cup method and I will try to keep them in smallest pot possible, because the weather just started to become cool and we are in the beginning of cold season. I hope I can get some pepper from them.
Hello everyone,

Dear fellow pepperheads,
After being inspired by reading the glogs here and elsewhere, I figured it was time to write my own, and post about progress, issues and thoughts related to my grows. This is only my second year of growing peppers, and went from 2 plants last year (Jalapeño and Peter Chili) to now wanting to grow a few more for better variety and a larger stock to get through the winter, give to friends/family etc, you know the drill. :)
So my modest grow list is now:
Aji Benito (local nursery)
Numex Orange Spice (local nursery)
Jamaican Bell (local nursery)
Bhut Orange Copenhagen (local hardware store)
Corno di Toro (local nursery)
Sweetbite Yummy (local hardware store)
Last year I grew in a grow bag, and while the jalapeño...
Hello, I am back after haitus from the internet as everything was really very busy!
I have made the move to 100% organic gardening in this time and do not dig, till or otherwise disturb the soil
Here is my pepper plant, a jalapeno. It is 6 weeks from seedling and absolutely covered with flowers. I've never seen so many flowers on a pepper plant before let alone one that is so small. I stopped counting when I reached 100
The pot is now in it's 3rd season. It was 50/50 mix of sheeps manure and mushroom compost and has always had something growing in it. I mulch with pine bark and there are worms in the container
We've had a few days in a row of 100F temperatures here and only one flower dropped!

Dragons breath (not sure if originator in U.K. sent the real deal so well see)
7pot primo
7pot douglah

Did some research to get seeds from reputable (loosely used lol) vendors across the u.s and u.k. Only growing and testing will tell if seeds are legitimate copies. Looking forward to getting some progress now that I have hydro system, once they hit 10 its outside they go. Almost lost the 3 big ones to aphids & white fly basturds, neem oil and natural dish soap stopped that thankfully. In coming weeks...
Hello!
I'm going to use this to document my Peppers. Right now, I'm going to start with the Banana Peppers... more will come with the hot peppers as they are just seedlings.
Plants are fed in Soil and Soiless settings. They are fed Masterblend 4-18-38 with Calcium Nitrate and Mag Sulfate as needed for Soil and Soiless hangs above a pool of nutrients. Hydrogaurd for Soiless settings once per week. Extreme gardening brand mykoz to help root growth innocolent when seeds sprout.
Foliage feeding with Foilage Pro 9-3-6 every three days for a good rain soak.
I had a group of B Peps growing with a mystery plant that also grew from the same set of seeds.... not a reputable Amazon seller. Many have died and only two plants live to...
Hey all. I'll improve upon this first post as time goes on.
Welcome to my garden. Currently focusing on an indoor soil based container garden. I'm located in the UP of Michigan where winters get down to -20 but I want peppers all year so I I'm seeing if I can't produce peppers year round.

Plants I currently have:
4 Red Habaneros - Previously outdoor from Nursery
2 Carolina Reapers - Amazon plants
1 Cajun Belle - Previously outdoor from Nursery
2 Unknown outdoor rescues
1 Super Chili - Previously outdoor from Nursery
