Glogs

I've been waffling on whether to try my hand at a glog, and then decided, "hey, why not?" I figure it's another chance to learn from the rest of you as I track my progress. There are a few factors at play: - I am in Málaga and there's pretty good weather here for year-round growing. I think the zone is 10a. - I don't have much space. Just a small patio that can maybe handle 6 or 7 plants. - I want to grow peppers that I find interesting, tasty, and beautiful. I don't mind super-hots, but they're not my goal. The hottest I currently have planned is MOA Scotch Bonnets. - My kids don't want peppers, so I agreed to get some tomatoes going for them if they agree to help out and learn with me. - And the last factor is I don't know what I'm...

Well, I had a very productive season last year and all I wanted to do is Try different things... So this year I said "I'm only going to grow a couple of know peppers. That the rest would be things I haven't done before" .. Then I came across the black seeds.. LOL anyways here are a few pictures of my stuff I'm sure I have a lot missing but I will be much better next year with records and such. i will attach a complete list as to what is up and going right now, but I'm sure I will be adding to it....lol and so it begans LOL The unlabeled pots are edamommy and the unlabeled tray is wasabi : I know it is a total mess right now, I did so much better keeping records and tracking things last year.. With everything I have had going on...

Here we go! Can't believe I created my first glog back in 2018, back then it was all about indoor hydroponics in a small tent. Now it's in a greenhouse, and this year I don't have to build it! :P This year I will also be monitoring the greenhouse more intensely. I have installed a greenhouse "computer", a device monitoring temperature, humidity, and lux levels. All this will be accessible on my phone, so hopefully, I can use this data to improve the plant environment further. I will also use this to monitor soil water levels in plants not in autopots. Handy to be able to check on the phone if plants need water :D I will also be collecting rain water, as opposed of using tap water, as were I live the water is rather hard. Hopefully...

I guess now is as good a time as any to start a grow log. I'm currently growing under a Barrina 2000 led grow light. I'm using Berger 7 potting soil amended with bone meal, blood meal, earthworm castings, and innoculated with Mikro-Myco mycorrhizae. My current plants were dropped in on January 15 and January 30 with no soak or pre-treatment. My current grow list is as follows: 7 Pot White Andy's King BOC Big Black Mama XL BOC X Orange Primo X Purple Naga Viper Borg-9 Red Death Spiral Destroyah Hallow's Eve Jes's Moruga Purple/Red Judy's Brown Moruga Khang Starr Lemon Starburst Naga Black Peach Miasma Pockmark Orange Pumpkin BBG7 Reaper Purple Peach Reaper X Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion Reaper X SRTSL Sugar Rush Peach Stripey T-Rex...

I thought about not doing a GLOG this year but have decided to "just do it". My grow will be much less this year with no super hots planted(although there are a few previous plants still going). Most new plants will be Jalapenos and various pheno's of PeppaPeach as those are the ones that I consume massive amounts of. This old pick of days gone by will be my lead pic for this years GLOG. I have several new ones taken since Jan 1, and I will be posting them as I get time until I am caught up. OK now, everyone get out there and produce some peppers.

Sooo... 2022 season is over and most of my 2023 plants are already there - no reason not to start a new thread already! 😃 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... Top view: And then there's the Humble Servants Homestead (HSH) SB, which was also elected to stay for next season... Top view:

I've been hesitating for a long time before starting a new Glog,... last year a lot of things happened and I had a hard time keeping it up to date. I hope that this year I'll manage to be more regular. In January, driven by the desire to sow some seeds, I put some in my aerogarden... My grow list for this year is: (There is no guarantee that I won't sow more) - Pepapeach Stripey (Growdown 2023) : C.Baccatum - Pepadew South Africa (from Welsh dragon Chilli) : C.Baccatum - Pepadew Peach (from Welsh dragon Chilli): C. Baccatum - Rocotto, Mini Olive (Fataliiseeds): C.Pubescens - Rocoto Marlene (Fataliseeds): C. Pubescens - Aji Gusanito (Fataliiseeds): C.Chinense - Arroz Con Polo (Refined Fire Chili): C.Chinense - Biquinho Red...

It should be a good year for growing peppers. My goal is to find the most productive varieties that thrive in the Texas heat. The growlist will consist of mainly Annuums but there will be a couple non-Annuums here and there. I'll post the official growlist later. Cheers!

I've been a member for a while but never posted a grow log. My usual garden is too boring for that. I use 20-30 pots and overwinter my mama plants in a hillbilly winter shelter. Our ground here isn't good for in soil gardening and I've not been enthused enough to undertake the work and expense to build raised beds.   Now I have my peppers working the way I want and have the need for a much larger grow to supply a project. The main peppers I'll grow will be reaper, douglah and fatalii. For a couple of years I'll do hay bale gardens and heap tons of organic trash into the area. I have monumental amounts of pine straw, oak leaves and bonfire ash every year to dump in the walkways. I think this will do a world of good to make this new...

I've opted to keep details of my crossing projects in this dedicated thread rather than include it in my 2021 Glog Edited this post to summarise what crosses I've got and where they are at, I will try and keep it current. Dates in status column reflect when I've updated the information not when the cross was actually made. I've not included every historic cross I've ever made and ignores anything where I haven't got at least F1 seeds unless I thought it was useful to record. Information might be useful to someone at some point. ChilliCrosser Cross Current Status X001 : Bolivian Rainbow x Cheiro Roxa (C.Annuum x C.Chinense) 🅿️16/8/21: F1 seeds, not grown on yet.

Here we go again!!!! Looking back at the 2022 season i can only conclude that it has been a succesfull and very productive season, wich ofcourse fueled the pepper madness in me even more! :D Fact is i grew way more peppers than i can possibly consume or give away under normal circumstances and it would be wise to cut down a bit on the amount of plants in the coming season. I decided to get rid of all the overwintering plants and start all fresh this year. No plants to take care of this winter, no fungus gnats all over the place and in my humble experience the overwinterers did not outproduce the fresh seedlings but did need more space. Pound for pound the seedlings were more productive. Plan was to cut down on the varieties too, but as...

Starting time again, a bit late this year unfortunately! But finally getting going. This year I'm increasing the variety but decreasing the quantities - had to throw out too many last year because I couldn't process everything quickly enough. On the other hand, I have a much better drying setup this year so hopefully that will help. This year's plan: Dragon's Breath (100) Carolina Reaper (200) Yellow Reaper (100) Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (60) Bhut Jolokia (200) Habanero (200) Habanada (150) Bhutia Bubblegum Chocolate (10) White Ghost (10) Bonuga Moruga Scorpion (10) Papa Dreadie Scotch Bonnet (30) Fiesta (Rainbow) blend Cayenne (100) Fooled You Jalapeno (12) Grande Jalapeno (30) Anaheim Sahuaro (100) Big Jim (50) Poblano Trident...

Been debating on growing or staring a GLOG. Doing both. I had some Goats Weed and Sadabahars from last year. I overwintered. Kept them in the kitchen window until a few weeks ago. Set up my tent and threw them in there. They were flowering like crazy and had pods on them in the kitchen window. I recently crossed the GoatsWeed with the Sadabahar. Should be interesting. 43 seedssowed. And more germinating. This will be a container grow. We’ll see what pops. Here is my list: Infinity UFO Habanero (Mine) Ring of Fire BOCx Aji Pineaplle Blue Ghost Peach Jigsaw WHP2 Scotch Scotch Brains Red Coyote Zan White Aji Charapita Hellfire Weed Freeport Orange 7pot Primo MOA Habanero x Bahamian Goat Peach Fatalii Borg 9 Purple/Red BrainStrain (Mine)...

I think this season I will become a pepper plant hoarder as I received over 100 different varieties from my brother and ended up planting them all, I honestly don't know how I will accommodate so many plants! My original plan for this season was the wild species, the native varieties from Brazil and a few import varieties that I found very interesting, however, now with over 100 imported varieties I think my plans have changed... It's already spring here in Brazil and some varieties that I sowed in March, went through the winter and are already with their first pods while others that I sowed in August are still in their initial stages of growth. I hope I don't have any major problems this season, one variety or another will surely die...

I just got back from India, so I’m starting a week or two later than normal. Pictured are Surti Marcha or Surat Chili, supposedly the hottest chili used in Gujarat. I’m excited to try and grow some. As they are very similar to Thai chillies, most people wouldn’t be as excited as me to grow them, especially the super-hot only people. I’m very excited though!

Like others, I debated on having a Glog this year, but figured “what the heck”. It's been fun in past years, so let's give it a go. Hopefully we'll end up posting pictures like this later in the Season! 🤞

Started today ! Will update more in the next few days😎
