Glogs

jcw10tc · Aug 16, 2018

Well, I am still alive somehow. This year has been most pressing on my time. This is the first night in memory I have sat down before 10. Figure I could start a crude glog, mostly pictures probably and not much writing. Its been the busiest year ever for me, for everything in life really, from peppers to family to other projects and the real job. I have tried to keep up on some media, but couldn't all. I am hopeful with the tapatalk app I can update this easier. Anyway the grow is smaller again than last year but still above 250 plants, but less than 300. I have had a few loss and take a few out I lost interest in, so not sure the exact count. Some are producing at rates I have no seen before, others just average. I'll start...

This is Runty (photo taken on 6/26/2018). Runty is the smallest of a flat of six starter jalapeños we bought from the local garden store. Because he was so small I planted him straight into a 6" self watering pot. I don't use the self watering feature, it's just a pot I had on hand. I've found self watering leaves salt deposits on the surface of the soil and I don't like that. If you look close you can see a visiting grey tree frog among the punky wood mulch. A few weeks before this photo was taken something cut him in half. I suspect a particularly bold chipmunk that was hanging out on our deck. I topped the other Jalas we bought in mid June and was gonna let Runty run free, but apparently the chipmunk had other plans. This is...

Genetikx · Jan 1, 2018

First time doing a glog but have followed others for years now. I don't expect monster 5' plants being just north of Chicago but I do expect to have a good time in the dirt and to neglect pulling weeds a time or twelve. The goal is grow a ton of peppers for sauce and maybe even get into powders this year. We're currently rocking a 4' 4 tube hydrofarm T5, which I think is an awesome fluorescent. In the past I've supplemented with regular shop lights in the seedling stage and for overflow but might get another proper T5 soon. First time growing in this new house so hopeful to avoid mites, aphids, and the like. I'll end up throwing some plants in the backyard and then also claim a spot at the community garden. Best of luck to all the...

U)<now · Jan 19, 2018

Hey all! Just a quick sneak peak. I planned on dirt day being January 1st this year, but it ended up being today (yesterday), January 18th. Still about 2 weeks earlier than my first set last year. As long as I don't have any major setbacks like last season, I should crush it this year! *Knock on wood* So I finally got the grow box/tent, lights and heat mat set up in my unfinished rec room downstairs of the new house. The room is about 6' x 9'. Had to cut about 4 inches off one side of my table, it's a tight fit, but I didn't want to go lengthwise, lol. I planted 4 trays of Chinense only so far. Heat mat is set to 83f. I learned my lesson last year with planting Annuum's and baccatum's too early. Not doing that again! I'll wait...

smokenmirraz · Nov 14, 2015

Hi, I'm Smokenmirraz and I live in Melbourne, Australia. The miracle part of the topic title is getting weather warm enough to grow super hots! I'll try to add updates once a month or so. I've grown chillies from seed in the past, but these days I'm not that motivated. At the moment, most of my focus is on growing super hot chillies in 10 gallon pots purchased as seedlings from a local hardware store. The garden bed has habaneros, jalapenos, and some kind of thai birds eye, tomatoes, herbs, eggplants, and lots of dwarf beans. Currently growing: - Chilli Trinidad 7-Pod Yellow in it's third year of growth and a fantastic producer. - Chilli Trinidad 7-Pod Pink in it's second year. - Chilli Carolina Reaper x 2. - Chilli Trinidad...

Guatemalan Insanity Pepper · Jan 16, 2018

This first post will be my placeholder and contain my starting list. this list will change as the season progresses This year i planted the seeds i had the least of first (a few i only had 1 or two seeds of ). Then i planted most of the others i wanted to grow. Some of these seeds were old and i don't even know if they will germinate, others were from last year and should be 90+% germ rates. well here it is 2018 starting seedlist; bright orange translucent long Hab Jamaican Scotch Bonnet long ISO Bloody Riot Orange Swiss Chocolate Scotch Brain Trini Scorp Peach Swamp Thing (yellow Pheno) West Indies Red Hab (Huge pheno) Pimenta Puma x Reaper (Dark Foliage) BOC x Aji Pineapple Star of Turkey BIH x Sugar Rush Cream Fatalii Tab...

Chilidude · Jan 17, 2018

Last year was pretty much a disaster, the summer turned out to be a very cold and sunless thing, so i didnt get much of anything to eat and all my efforts did go to waste. But i am willing to try again growing those chilis, so i am not giving up so easy. I got two last year fully grown Hot paper lanterns, so they should produce some even if the summer is not so perfect, also will grow these from seeds: Naga morich. Bonda ma jacques. Petenero. Aji golden. Aji erotica.(baccatum erotica) Lemon drop. Aji crystal. Aji pineapple. Queen laurie. Locato. This time around pretty safe chilis to survive cooler climates in my opinion, inside my greenhouse.

tsurrie · Jan 25, 2018

b3rnd · Feb 5, 2018

Hey there pepperfriends! I've decided to try to keep a glog again. Last time didn't go so well because of moving mid-season. I'm a little bit behind on schedule because of some logistical problems concerning my growing gear. My warming mats, thermostat and humidity domes were supposed to come in a big package of stuff from Portugal, but it didn't. I started some seeds without it just to have something to do, haha. All my stuff finally arrived last week, so I'm already up and running by now. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise because I don't have enough space (that sounds familiar) for all my plants in the house. I'm prepping my garden at the moment. When I moved in here the whole backyard was covered with clinker bricks, probably...

MrSpiffy · Feb 26, 2018

Just kicking things off with a small intro, and then logging current progress. I've grown hot peppers before. Mostly habaneros and jalapenos, but also some datils and some variety of caribbean peppers from a seed blend. I've also done some hot jelly and hot sauce-making, but nothing too serious. Since moving to Colorado, the drier air and more-intense sun have challenged me the last couple of seasons. Particularly, since I don't have an in-ground or raised-bed garden, I only have pots to grow in. I have a feeling that my primary nemesis is the sun, causing the pots and soil to heat up and scorch the roots... I'll need to come up with a solution for this conundrum, because last year I barely got any fruit before the plants...

beerbreath81 · Feb 12, 2018

Time to get this glog going, I actually started growing from seed Jan 22. Most of my seeds this year came from TexasHotPeppers...so big thanks to Garth. I did have some from my usual vendors (Tradewinds and Baker Creek). I used a mix of Promix and Coco Coir for growing medium and my germ rates were really good everything has come up except for Golden Greek Pepperoncini. Wont be long and these will be ready for new pots. Not much to look at right now but here's a few pics leading up to present Jan 22 Feb. 1 Feb. 7 Feb. 11 :cheers:

I love building things, particularly electronics. That lead me to building a grow light of my own. I used to be an HID kinda guy; think of High Pressure Sodium, LEC, and the like. LED lighting has never been for me as far as the red, purple, blues (think of Mars Hydro, Black Dog, KindLED, etc) but now, I really think they are. Here is the parts list: It was built using two 5-foot sections of 3/4" angle aluminum to cover a 6ft table. the rest of the stuff is from cobkits.com 6x Citizen CLU048-1212 90CRI Gen 6 chips in 4000K spectrum Meanwell HLG-185H-36A 6x BJB COB chip holders 6x Arctic Thermal Pads 10x WAGO 3 wire connectors 6x 133mm Passive Pin-Fin Heatsinks All together it costed about 280 before separate tools (hand held hacksaw...

Peter_L · Jan 4, 2018

Hello all! I had a decent sized grow last year, but this will be my first Glog. I'm still just growing for fun as the first priority. Some other goals are: to make some white and yellow hot sauces (hence the White Ghost and yellow cultivars), to practice crossing (no specific crosses planned yet), and to practice grafting (so I can OW just one plant with two or three different peppers on it). Since there are so many varieties out there, I have yet to solidify my 2018 grow list. I'll briefly list a few that I am currently or I am tentatively planning on starting from seed this year. Aji Mango Yellow Rocoto Peru Bitdumi Red Rocoto White Bhut Jolokia Yellow Brain Strain Bonda Ma Jacques Golden Treasure Chile Red Bell 7-Pot Douglah...

KingLeerUK · May 16, 2018

Hello again after a few years away! I haven't grown peppers since late 2015 but made a decision a few weeks ago to dip my toe in to the pepper trade once again. Between now and then I lost the use of my garden due to an overzealous exterminator deciding to dump the remainder (20 gallons) of his termiticide on my garden soil, rendering it unsafe for growing anything for human consumption for the next 10 years. I was really gutted at the loss because I had been building up the soil for YEARS with infusions of mushroom compost, teas, powdered eggshell and other amendments to make the space produce like Florida sand just never can. Because of this I decided to take a break from the hobby. Well, 2018 is here and I'm getting a late...

sicsempertyrannis · Jun 25, 2018

i went and bought a greenhouse for my first actual grow this year, after some years of mildly disappointing attempts on my windowsills. sadly, i wasn't able to start any seeds in time so i got a bunch of young plants instead and they are already growing pretty well (for my standards at least) despite the sh#tty berlin weather. the varieties are as follows. in the greenhouse currently: -2x 7pot bubblegums -2x trinidad scorpion caramels -2x ghost peppers -8x jalapenos -6 fresnos outside right next to the greenhouse: -2x rocoto canario -2x rocoto yellow giant -2x rocoto marlene i've got some thai demons and rocoto manzano reds coming soon as well. if all goes well i can finally make some batches of homegrown hot sauce by the...

BSH · Jan 7, 2018

Getting the seeds organized for what I hope will be a better year! Weather was weak for peppers last year so hopefully it is hot and dry all summer. Working on a final list for plant out starting mid February that will hit the greenhouse in April as well as a second grow list for plants to sell at the farmer's market. Hoping to focus more on fresh pepper sales this season to my fellow Canadians after good initial results last year! I got some amazing peppers from orders and trades this winter so here's to 2018 and best of luck to everyone growing this addictive and painful produce :) List to follow.

Spicegeist · Feb 4, 2018

I started a few plants in the fall and have been overwintering them. I'm mostly focusing on a handful of my special bhut crosses. Bottom left in this photo is a Chiltepin. Bottom center is a coffee plant I grew from seed. I spent a good part of this weekend squishing aphids. Here's a C. galapagoense that's spent most of its life under grow lights after I started it in the fall. It flowered and produced fruit without any pollinators present: I know these don't look very impressive, but I'm just trying to keep them alive until warmer weather. They are 1/2 C. galapagoense x Chiltepin and 1/2 Superhot (my own mostly bhut cross):

bpiela · Jan 2, 2018

Ok. Just started cleaning up my grow area. Will be starting seeds tomorrow. Last year was brutal so I am trying some new things this year. 1. No overwinters. I am hoping that in the past, the plants I brought in to overwinter were the source of the many aphids I have battled. I guess the aphids could also be coming in from the soil I purchase, which is either Fox Farms Happy Frog or Miracle-Gro Potting mix. I haven't nuked the soil in the past because we use our microwave for food. If I can get a used microwave, then I might try to nuke the soil first... 2. Airflow. I am going to increase airflow by a bunch. Looking to get a couple more cheap standing fans and have them on blasting the plants for the period of time that the...

mts23 · Jun 5, 2018

I've got a few peppers growing; if the rain lets up, they might make it to the end of my season. My tomatoes are loving it, but I know the overly wet conditions are not the best for peppers. I plan on making as many interesting hybrids to grow later as I can. I've already made my first 2 pollination attempts with Thai Dragon X Trinidad Scorpion and Bhut Jolokia X Dedo De Mocha. I've topped several of the plants and pulled the flowers from them to hopefully stimulate vegetative growth. The tops and some side branches are being cloned. Pests on the JPGS and one of the Scorpions resulted in them getting pruned back (the plants are relatively small and I don't expect to grow any huge bushes in #3 pots). I should have another 3-4...

Ethansm · Jan 30, 2018

Hello all! I'm a long time forum lurker, first time poster! I started growing peppers last year in a small 4' x 6' raised box, and cheap store bought seeds. Grew cayenne, orange habs, jalapenos, and serrano last year, and really enjoyed it! Smoked the peppers on the smoker for 12 hours on nothing but hickory logs and made powder, and I put that on everything now. Anyway, this year: I'm graduating from the raised box! I've bought a house with a back yard and I have about 1000-1500sq ft that I can plant in.

tuellarsen · Mar 27, 2018

Hello fellow growers! First glog! :dance: I’ve been growing chilies every year for about 15 years. Due to the “charming” danish climate, and lack of garden and greenhouse, I’ve turned into a passionated windowsill-grower. I like to keep things fairly simple. No fancy light, relying only on the light that nature has to offer, some chili fertilizer and a lot of love. This year, for the first time, I’m trying out coco coir. My small plants currently sit in 100% coco coir, because I wanted to get a better feel for the medium’s behaviour. Currently, because the danish spring offers temperatures around 5 degrees, the coco coir develop a slightly moldy surface, from sitting on the cold windowsill. This hopefully will be bygone when the...

Hi All, A bit late to the party, but here's what I'm up to in Kent, UK. Had a hot dry summer so far. After a few years trying to grow *everything* with not much space, less is more this year – just 16 plants on this grow. A couple of years ago we built a ghetto poly tunnel and installed autopots for 8 plants. I'm doing a roll-the-dice grow out of Aji Umba X Purple Jalapeno F2 - three plants: And last year I crossed the F1 with Madame Jeanette, and getting some interesting stuff, a couple of plants: And the rest are: Birds Eye long from the CP collection at Puckerbutt Targu Mures, a Romanian Paprika type, I'm told Cumari Alongado A 3 year old 'Chris Fat Red' bonchi Numex...

Grillcheese reporting in from Canada capital, Ottawa, zone 5b. Its been a real pleasure gaining info from numerous members here over the years. 10(?) years ago my sister gave me a paper lantern habanero plant as a housewarming gift. That was the hook. Red Savina was king. What a decade :) I'm finally proud of all my trials and errors over the years, basically nailing it this year. :) My primary goal now is to keep parent plants and try doing my own crosses, as well as provide isolated seeds eventually. So, ya...for now, all my plants open pollinated. Recording, labeling and isolating was somehow not my top priority. If I can pass off advice to newbs, record and label EVERYTHING. My bad...so some plants OP. Allright..the list...half of...

Rymerpt · Dec 30, 2017

Hello pepper people. Thoughts have been rattlin around in my noggun for about a month now about what I'm gonna do for 2018. This weekend being the last of 2017 I thought I should get off my Duff and get going. I've set aside a few bucks to get some better lighting this week end. I plan on setting up a hanging florescent rig with a couple daylight bulbs to welcome new seedlings. I've been thinking along these lines for a while and am ready for the change. In the past I have used just a couple regular type lamps with sunlight bulbs. The florescents size will give me more coverage. I do have a heat Matt and have a good system that has proven successfully for my seeding bed. I tend to use small Solo cups that sit in a aluminum turkey pan...
