1st seedling of the year coming along nicely. Seeded from purple plant from CP115. Out of 50 seedlings this was the only one with purple stem and leaves. Probably a long shot to stabilize but its so productive and tasty I've got to try.
Glogs
Start a Grow Log for your growing season.
Besides my [not insignificant] overwinters and plants I already have going, I may only start these twelve seedlings of my absolute favorite bhut and bhut crosses:
Never had peppers this early, so I'm pretty excited. Let me show you what Im working with.
Ton of Bhut Orange Copenhagen podding up. These are hot as hell, and quite frankly I don't know what to do with em. They're really delicious green though, almost a peach flavor.
Aji Jobito. Thanks for the seeds streamer! Looks like a nutsack to me :rofl:
C. Praetermissum, growing like a damn weed. I've been watching catbirds eat the ones that start to change color. From what I've read, birds cannot taste capsaicin. Makes sense, however I always wonder what's going through the squirrels heads when they bite into a reaper :fireball:
So this is a P. Dreadie, I have been having problems getting it to flower but it looks like it finally...
I've been putting off doing this but now I want to show some pictures of insect damage but don't have the GLOG set up yet! so here's a crash course into what and where I'm growing this year. I hope to detail each location more thoroughly soon.
This year I saved some seed and plants from last year's grow, and also ordered a few varieties from puckerbutt's "Chris Phillips Collection." Briefly,
Moruga Yellow
Apocalypse Red
Bhut x Neyde - CP Special Orange from Puckerbutt's Chris Phillips collection
Black Bhutlah F2, going to try to grow a few of these, I like experimenting with early generations
Vietnamese Tear Jerker
Lotabih Jolokia
Maldivian Heart x Purple Bhut F3
Orange Tepin
C7 from Smokin Ed
Carolina Reaper
X3R Red Knight
Numex...
Hey guys, I got my plants in the ground on June 1st. I live on the Western Slope out here in CO. I didn't do any peppers from seed this year, and bought them all from various grow stores and festivals over the course of April and May.
Here's what I plan on growing this year. The list will probably get longer, but this is what I'm starting with.
7 Pot Brain Strain
Trinidad Scorpion
TS Moruga
Ghost pepper
Carolina Reaper
California Reaper
7 Pot Bubblegum
Scotch Bonnet
Red Habanero
Peach Habanero
Fireball Habanero
Peter
Charleston
Vegas Serrano
7 Pot Rennie
Irish Shrub
Golden Cayenne
I should have them all started by the end of the year. I'm excited to get another growing season started! I will post pics once everything has started to pop.

So This Topic about Monster Peppers Grow season for 2017. We will be posting updates and like to hear people thoughts, any constructive or creative feed back is always welcome. Always learning new things and happy to swap tips and share my pepper growing adventures. Trying to just make friends in the pepper growing world. We are young and still learning on our end as we try get better understanding of the business end of pepper growing. Love o3o Doctor passion is art and growing and eating peppers. While Dr.Franken Pepper is more global world domination driven individual who relies on her underlings to do all the work. Pepper growing become new...
Hey guys! Today the first MOA popped it's head, so it's about time to start my glog.
Some background information: I started growing peppers in the Netherlands almost 3 years ago, and from the first year on I was completely hooked. I started out with some annuums, but was never really excited about the flavour of any of them. The second year I decided to grow some baccatums and chinenses too, but the weather gods didn't favour me and the season flopped completely. Then last summer I met a Portuguese woman, fell in love and moved to Portugal with her. The climate here got me even more excited to start growing then ever before, so when winter arrived I started preparing. I found semillas.de (before I always ordered from pepperseeds.eu)...
It's kind of hard to believe, but I'm starting my 6th year of glogging on this site. It's been a great place, even thought I've not had the time for it the last couple of years. So, I thought I'd leave a link here to my past glogs, mostly for my own use if I want to reference back to them, they'll be in this one place. Here they are: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.
I've gotten off to a late start this year, but things are rolling a bit now.
Here's the grow list as of now:
A couple of things right off the bat:
I've once again had trouble with germination this year. I know I have a few really old seeds, but I also have new seeds from good vendors or great folks on this site, and the problems are not in just one area, so I...
So, I'm late in starting my glog but with 2 youngsters running around, it's hard to find time to do anything. I don't have any pictures of the plants at germination stage or transplanting or anything like that but I'll try to give you a quick run down.
Germinated seeds in a peat moss/coco coir mix back in early March. Once they sprouted I moved them into solo cups with holes in the bottom under the T5's. From there they went into 1 gallon pots and now most are in 7 gallon root pouches and a few are in 5 gallon root pouches. Using Pro-mix with some kelp meal and compost added. Anyways here's some pictures of the plants as of a week or so ago.
I'll have to go out when it stops raining and get my whole grow list written...
Hi all! New to the forum
I have grown tomatoes indoors twice with my Grandad using an led panel he had bought. I'm no expert.
I had this pepper plant (smaller one of the two pics) given to me as a present so decided to go and buy another and came back with this Jalapeno plant so I'm happy with what I've got play with.
I repotted them today and watered them thoroughly with some liquid seaweed and root boost.
Will probably leave them to dry right out now and hope the sun comes back out as it has been recently!
In the Midlands here
Any tips or help are more then welcome

This year the lineup consists of Aji Amarillo, MOA Scotch Bonnet both from judy at pepperlover.com & Red Rocoto from seedsaversexchange.com. There isn't much in the way of plants to show yet so I figured I'd post the fertilizers and amendments I'll be using. Stick around, say hello and hopefully it will be a good year full of pods. :dance:
The Rocoto seeds are from these 2 plants I grew back in 2014.
Alfalfa Meal
Earthworm Castings
Excelerite
Indonesian Bat Guano
Jamaican Bat Guano
Mexican Bat Guano
Peruvian Seabird Guano
All of my photobucket links died on my last topic, so I'll just start anew.
It's been about 2 months since the seeds hit dirt, and I'm pretty happy with their progress.
Here's a picture of the leaf of the first "wild" variety I've attempted to grow, c. praetermissum.
Some interesting variegation occurring in this plant. It looks like shit though because the damn cat chewed it a bit. I believe it is a goat's weed cross, has anyone seen this before in a variety?
Super hairy pubescens! Thanks Malarky!
All of them chugging along! Anyone have any suggestions? I'm feeding with fish emulsion when I water about once a week, they've been outside when it's warm but we've been getting a lot of strong wind over here so I'd rather...
Planning on growing out 650 seedlings on an ebb and flow/flood table in my basement under lights. Last winter I grew about 75 seedlings in a tyvek tent I threw together powered by an old metal halide.
Pricing out a commercial flood table was pretty depressing. The cheapest I could find was $160 and pallet-based shipping waaaay more than doubled the price. After many hours of deep thought, I came up with following design, which is much sturdier and heated as well!
My design uses a single 4x8 sheet of PVC cut into three 8' strips 5" wide, and the remaining sheet 8'x33" wide. to create a ~ 95" x 32" flood table with 5" sides. First a frame is built using 2x8 and 2x3s.
1x8s are screwed on to create the sides, and the 5" PVC strips...
I guess I'll start keeping a grow log. At the moment, I have 15 reaper and 15 ghost pepper juveniles and 26 habanero seedlings. The habs are on their third sets of leaves, so I'll probably be transplanting them soon. The reapers and GPs are in Solo cups under grow lights waiting for the temperatures to get warm.
Today's temperature outside was an unseasonably warm 81 degrees, so I set the reapers and GPs outside for a couple of hours. Curiously, the cotyledons on some dropped. Otherwise, they looked just fine. I was a little hesitant to put them outside because I didn't want any sort of weird fungi or weed seeds or anything else blowing in their cups.
After I set them outside, I fired up the old Troy-Bilt tiller -- this thing is...
This season i started my seeds in the beginning of february:
Plants for this year are:
-Naga morich
-Petenero
-Hot paper lantern
-Caramel bhut jolokia
-Aji jobito
-Aji benito
-Aji golden
Smaller grow list this time around for making sauces and few for eating/cooking.
Now that I've finished moving out of my old apartment with its north-facing sunless balcony and into a single-story apartment with a wonderfully sunny patio - hence the title of this grow log - I'm trying to grow more chiles again! (In addition to other sun-appreciating plants.)
I started another guilt-trip batch of habanero seeds - the children of at least one of my earliest habaneros, who died last year - right before leaving the old apartment, about a month ago. Some of them sprouted roots within one week, and now a few of them are growing their second set of true leaves. Partly because those seedlings' extremely rapid growth surprised me, this log is actually for keeping track of the growth of the seeds I just started.
...
This is my second grow log of the year, because my over-a-year-old bhut jolokia - which is now a beautifully straggly small bush taking up a few square feet of patio sunlight - finally decided to stop sullenly shedding flowers and produced one ripe fruit with six seeds in it. My friend harvested that and all of the other chiles' fruit that ripened while I was out of town and put it in the fridge, which admittedly saved me from walking into an apartment full of rotting chiles and feasting insects but may have killed the seeds.
But I'm going to give them a chance to disprove that! I wrapped them in a damp paper towel and sealed them in a plastic container, and I'll check on them every few days and see what happens! I want more...
Heey guys my name's Alex I'm new here and thought I'd Chuck up my chilli grow so far!!
I had a few chilli seeds and wanted to see how they would go. I had never grown anything from seed before but wanted to get to it. I used 20 wee Coco discs and put them in the hot water cupboard. It didn't quite go to plan tho as they grew mould. I managed to save just 6. I realised I was a bit premature though as its just gone winter here, I thought I'd give hydro a go. I researched lots of different techniques but aeroponics tickled my fancy. I like how it's technical and efficient. From day 1 I've used eggmont neutrients a & b as seedlings. I know people say you shouldn't but they loved it.
So I started to make a design and source parts.

So most of my plants are looking fairly good but I have a few questions 1 being how long does it take roughly for the fruits to start changing color and second a lot of my pods look the same but are different species for example some of my butch T pods look identical to my moruga scorpions any ideas?

Hey Everyone,
Quick intro, I'm from Perth in WA. Just bought a house recently so I now have some room to grow.
So I'm relatively new to this, I have only grown from seed once before but mostly just bought seedlings and grown them in pots.
Since I bought my new place I thought that it would be a good idea to plant my chillies in the ground instead of pots, well that was a mistake.
This is about two weeks after the replanting.
The winter has been a little longer than normal this year but they are bouncing back now with the weather heating up.
I now have all the seeds for this years grow;
- From Chilli Seed Bank
Scotch Bonnet Red
- From Hippy Seed Company
St Martin's Habanero
Butch T Scorpion
7 Pod Yellow

Well, it's that time again. I actually didn't sow a single seed this year :(. I had way too much last year and honestly brewing is my number 1 hobby now. So I'm taking it a bit easier this year.
Still have these over winters.
I plan to sow seeds again next season, but this year I just couldn't find the motivation, not too mention we're are always crazy busy with my kids competitive swimming.
Anyway, I did manage to get planted for this season. Tomatos, cucumbers, plenty of jalapeños, bells, and some habs.
I still have room for a few more rows. I ordered some plants from Refining to fill those in.
The soil is looking killer. The last 2 seasons of compost added have really helped.
The black matting I put down worked...
Hi All,
Thought I may as well start a grow log and show you my peppers and introduce myself a bit
I'm 26, live in Adelaide, South Australia and immigrated here from England in 2001.
I work for a major IT corporation as a Subject Matter Expert for a major Australian bank. My day to day activities are improving processes for things that don't actually matter and figuring out how to get pointless tasks completed quickly so that some guy in Sydney can do whatever unnecessary thing they wanted to do by close of business.
Due to my talent of being adequate at whatever I try instantly, this season has been the first time I've decided to give some plants a go and get the most out of my afternoon-sun facing balcony. I've not killed anything...
A few members including myself are growing seeds for this variety ASAP. I and a few others here on THP thought it would be fun to have a "community glog" strictly for this variety, a fun thread about the HP22B and growing this pepper for the first time.
I think we should start a community glog like this anytime there is a new pepper with alot of attention and alot of people growing it, possible world record holder or not. It would be fun, and this should be fun! That's why we all love this hobby is it not?
Therefore, this will be a drama-free, controversy-free, fun glog for all of us growers and others to enjoy. If you grow, please chime in. If you're growing this variety, please post pictures and chime in about your observations...
Hi all my name is Chad and I'm from Aust. This is my first Glog & my second year growing peppers. I think I have gone a little over the top this year. :D
But hey you can never have enough peppers right?
I started all from seeds except for two that I bought today.
These are the two I bought today, I had never heard of these peppers before today.

Hi, this is a project in wich I got the luck to get in, this project is promoted by CAPCOM (to who I am very thankful for trust in me) all the seeds are a mistery and only, until we get the pods/fruits, we will receive the names of the variety we have http://thehotpepper.com/topic/62141-a-ultimate-offer-to-newbies/
This is just a partial project since I had planned another project on my own, but still will take care of this project as part of my main one. The selection was random.
I received my seeds by the end of january:
I sowed them on feb/17/2017
26 x 3
6 x 3
18 x 2
23 x 3
25 x 3
5 x 3
12 x 3
27 x 3
7 x 3
9 x 3
11 x 3
4 x 3
mar/01/2017 update germination so far (11 days):
26 x 3 = 100%
6 x 1 = 33.33%
18 x 0 = 0%

Just going to start by saying how excited I am about this grow season. I didn't try to grow anything too hot until it was too late last year. By August I had about 15 Bhuts and 3 Scorpion plants. I gave half to my cousin but most of his died and mine became infested with aphids and just couldn't get rid of them so now I only have 3. Last year I grew the normal peppers you find at walmart and only aout 4 varieties. This year I am stepping it up to about 30 different types. Most of the seeds I got from beerbreath81 who got them from other members and a site www.tradewindsfruit.com and also some seeds from Dougthehead. Below is my grow list. I would also like to grow some other chocolate types, hot chocolate, reaper, and fatali. I also...
Well I figured I'd start a grow log. I have a 4.5'X4.5'X6.5' grow tent with a 1000w MH bulb for vegging and a HPS for flowering. A Big Kahuna air cooled hood with a 474 CMF fan sucking the hot air out as well as another 300CFM. I am using 2 35 gallon totes with 8 sites per tote. This is an aeroponics setup. In one tote I have 7 naga jalokias and 1 jalapeno growing. In the other tote I have 5 nagas and 1 redfire chili. I'm using 3 part jungle juice with RO water and Calmag. I've been have pretty decent results so far. I just transplanted the rest of the pepper plants from my Aerogarden into the second tote today The jalapeno was started about 3 weeks before everything else.
The plants in the second tote are about 12 days old and the...
Hi guys, it's time to open my 2016 glog. eventhough i put the first seeds in the dirt in January.
Last year i had 80% or more of my list being composed by superhots, some unstable hybrids which turned out to be different from what i expected.
So this year i went on less superhots (half of the varieties, or less) and more classic and colourful ones.
At the moment i have about 100 plants, but i plan to end up with 65-70, i'll give away the remaining to some friends, i only keep them for the first months in case of death of other plants.
So here's what i'm growing:
C.Chinense
Chocolate Brainstrain
CPR
Carolina Reaper
Chocolate Moruga
Bhut Jolokia Yellow
Bhut Jolokia Peach
Bhut Jolokia Caramel
Bih Jolokia #1 Assam
7 Pod Brown
7 Pod...
So these are my plants now

Firstly I would like to introduce myself. My name is Tom and I live in the Netherlands. Last year I have grown several vegetables hydroponically.
This year I decided to grow some peppers in a dutch bucket setup. Not in an indoor grow room with sophisticated led lights, but just in a simple greenhouse.
The pictures below show how the system is built-up. I decided to use Perlite as medium, since it has remarkable drainage properties.
The bato buckets filled with perlite.
The pepper seedlings planted in the perlite.
A few weeks later. I wrapped them with aluminium foil to keep the nutrient solution cool.

For my first time growing hot peppers, I decided to grow some jalapeños in the indoor grow area I set up a little less than a year ago. I have a few months free before I will need it again to grow on rooted cuttings (flowering shrubs mostly) prior to planting them outside, and peppers sounded like a good way to fill that downtime.
The grow area:
At the bottom right is a humidifier, to attempt to keep the humidity up while the heat is running this winter. I decided to humidify the whole room the grow area is in, to try to maintain both decent humidity in the enclosure and good air exchange with the surrounding room.
Missing is the small oscillating tower fan that usually sits in the front left corner; it is below at the...
With any luck I can make this a fairly interesting grow log for the beginners like me. If you want to follow a professional grower to glean pro-style tips, keep moving. If you want to watch a guy stumble along the road of gardening, you are in the right place!
I am in south Florida so I don't have a frost to worry about. it does get cold(ish) around February and theoretically I should wait till then to go outside but like I said, I am not a pro.
The plan is to grow in pots on a drip irrigation system that I plan to build.
I will try to track my seeds and where they came from:
Currently Growing
Jalapeno - Burpee
Serano - Burpee [Not gonna grow]
Brazilian Ghost - Forum [Probably Not gonna grow]
Jamaican Scotch Bonnet - Forum...

Peppers will be in my house until April-May and then I will take them out when weather gets warmer.
From morning till dusk peppers are near window and they are absorbing natural light and during night they are under 2x18W T8 6500k fluo light.
Atm I have 28 plants (5 varieties):
Pimiento de Padron
Jalapeno
Jamaican Hot Chocolate
Bhut Jolokia
Moruga Scorpion Yellow
Here are few pictures of my light setup and plants:
Tell me what do you think. Feel free to give any tips if I am doing something wrong.
Date: 17. Feb. 2017
My improvized grow box...
2017 season was started in October 2016
and around 300 varieties are now growing in the green houses.
