Start a Grow Log for your growing season.
My first proper grow log! I start by soaking seeds in some weak tea for about 6-8 hours, then I plant them into a heated propagator directly in compost. Most other years I have used Coir pellets, but giving this method a go this year due to the sheer number of seeds I am starting.   List of peppers I am growing this year:   Planted on 10th January: Carolina Reaper Aji Crystal Anaheim Habanero: The Monster 7Pot Primo Habanero 7Pot Elephants Probiscus Yellow 7Pot Brain Strain Cherry Bomb White Bhut Jolokia Ramiro Piri Piri Zimbabwean Birds Eye Caramel Bhut Jolokia Chocolate Bhut Jolokia Georgia Flame Trinidad Doughlah Jalapeno   Planted on 11 January: some more Zimbabwean Birds Eye Numex Big Jim (seeds from 2012) Katie Naga (seeds from...
This will be my first ever glog and I personally think it is going to be fairly interesting. As it is relatively difficult growing peppers in Denmark, I have attempted to find varieties that should be suitable for the cold, short-summered north. Undoubtedly this season will be filled with failures, I have grown very few of my selected varieties, and will be unleashing the majority of the plants in the dirt. I am still waiting for a couple of seed shipments, by this is my current grow list:   C. Annuum: Amarillo Chiltepin Cappuccino Chiltepin CAP 872 Chiltepin Goats Weed Guatemalan Chiltepin Numex Bailey Pequin Siberian House pepper   C. Baccatum: Lemon Drop Not Parvifolium PI238061 PI260567   C. Chacoense Cobincho   C. Chinense: Bhut...
Well, here I am.   Stumbled across your wonderful site by accident and signed up despite being the opposite side of the Atlantic to most of you. I have to say, I am really impressed. I've seen many recipes I'm tempted by, soem of the home brew forums I might be able to add to (I dabble in traditional Scrumpy Cider recipes, including a rather punchy Ghost Cider as well as developing my own ales) but my main reason for being here is growing exceedingly hot chillies.   I've had very limited success in the past, occasionally by luck getting a great crop from the odd plant but this year I intend to go full on and try and get a good harvest of all the varieties I'm growing over here.   First thing I have done is invested in a heated...
Last season was a great learning experience as a first time grower and hopefully I've learned a few things to make this season even better. My main let down last season was the relative small harvests I got from most plants. Granted, growing indoors and it being a bad summer didn't help, but I think there could have been a few things I could've done to help the plants be more productive. So this year I'm going to try a few new things.   First things first though, my grow list(seed source in parenthesis): Habanero Paper Lantern (Comptine) Habanero Hand Grenade Yellow (Comptine) Habanero Roatan Pumpkin (Comptine) Habanero Manzano (Comptine) Habanero Antillais Caribbean (Comptine) Habanero Chocolate (PL) Habanero Gambia Orange Habanero...
Hey all,   Good to be back !! Been on and off for some times and got married with a great wife!   I hope I'll be able to grow at least 75% of the list below. The list is not full I'll try to update it in few ours :) First I want to give a big thank you to HP mamber here that answer my call for seeds. this mamber is "Magged Out".   Thank you for all the seeds you send me and in good shape! I hope I'll be able to repay you.   This time I'm trying to use only rockwool cubes for germination and then move to soil. All the grow will be organic and with humus liquid organic fertilizer that a family mamber is made for us 100% and the dosing ratio is 1L for 20L of water (1:20)!!! I think to start with him mass production worldwide but at the...
Hi everyone. I figured I should make a grow log since I'm adding more varieties of peppers (and other things) this year. My husband and I have had a garden for about 3 years now. I want to start adding new things each year, but apparently I've more than tripled what I'm planning to grow this season since last season. :) Here's a list of peppers I'm planning so far this year: - Chocolate Habanero - Carolina Reaper - Orange Thai - CPR (Carolina primo/reaper from ButchT.com) - Jalapeño - Sweet banana - Habanero - Cayenne Tomatoes: - Mortgage Lifters - Roma - Early Wonder - Early Annie - Druzba - Buckbee's New 50 Day - Hawaiian Pineapple - Andes - Kellogg's Breakfast - Amish Paste Others: - Straight Eight Cucumbers - Lemon cucumber...
It was from my own inaction that I missed so many of my awesome THP friends over most of last season…I will not lie, it's much more convenient to post pix—and do just about anything—on that other very popular social media site, but there's no place there to maintain a grow log…Those of you who have not fallen prey to that particular internet time-waster of which I speak and have remained loyal to THP have my greatest love and respect…I pledge today to maintain this glog throughout the complete 2015 grow season!    Last weekend (January 10 & 11) I sowed most of my C. chinense seeds: 4 x 18-cell trays, 72 x 3" wide cells. The sprouting medium is Fafard Super Fine Germination Mix. The light stand is Harris Seed's "8 Tray 2-Tier Combo"...
Been starting some seeds, the first is the Jalapeno, used fresh from the Red ones and only 50% came up, glad I soaked them first to see who would sprout. Planted them in soil and they have come up so , so far so good :) My Aji Lemon after a long struggle with Aphids  is finally looking good, so Im breathing easier now with him :)  
Hi, I am growing chilies since 2009 here in Hungary, this will be my first year as a commercial grower. I am documenting the progress mainly for myself, but I thought it would be fun to share it with you guys. :)   Grow list: Planted in the greenhouse: Capsicum annuum: 001 - Jalapeno (2.500 - 5.000 SHU) 002 - Jalapeno [Early] 003 - Jalapeno [Giant] 004 - Jalapeno [Orange] 005 - Jalapeno [Purple] (3.500 - 6.000 SHU) 006 - Hungarian Black (1.000 - 2.000 SHU) 007 - Hungarian Death (30.000+ SHU) 008 - Krishna Jolokia 009 - Jwala - Indian Finger Hot (20.000 - 50.000 SHU) 010 - Black Scorpion Tongue (50.000 - 100.000 SHU) 011 - Wild Tepin (50.000 - 100.000 SHU) 012 - Berbere Brown 013 - Thai Dragon (50.000 - 100.000 SHU) 014 - Royal Black...
Introduction I have been a long time lurker of these forums and have found a vast amount of useful information here. I decided to start posting on this platform to keep a log of my trials and tribulations into the world of growing hot peppers indoors. I have tried a few hydroponics methods had a few successful grows from seeds to pods using the Kratky and DWC methods. Those first few grows were also entirely done using fluorescent lights (T5HO). After a little while, monitoring and adjusting water parameters daily got old pretty quickly and I set myself on a quest to find a less "involved" method that could still produce some decent yields. Along the way, I upgraded my light system to a 600W High-Intensity Discharge setup. Fast...
I just read my first glog post from last year again and was embarrassed. Last year was the first year I grew peppers from seeds and learned a flipping ton from this site & this site alone, really. I had a lot of experience gardening but there were a lot of tricks to growing peppers from seeds that I had to figure out. Once I dialed it all in, it was smooth sailing. I ended up with 280 plants & 180 varieties in 2015... thousands & thousands of pods and very few problems after they started growing true leaves. Beginner's luck. I grew a lot of things I didn't care for and others that were OK but unspectacular, along with finding some really outstanding varieties. I learned A LOT in the past year- not that I don't have plenty more to learn...
I am SO impressed with this website! I'm glad I stumbled upon it! Now, I am so happy I stumbled upon this subforum! I've been gardening for about 8-10(?) Years. I always threw in a few Jalepeno peppers. They literally grow like weeds here in south Louisiana! So I never had to do very much. Jowever, last year was my first year really growing. My son is now 16 months old, so it's given me a good "escape" from the house! I'm trying to save my favorite Tabasco pepper from last year. My peppers I overwintered did fine, until about 2 months ago when they got nailed by aphids. Never dealt with those before! I've done everything I can. I lost most, but the Tabasco is coming around. So far I've grown: Jalepeno Bells Tabasco Habaneros (all...

Today launches The Pacific Northwest GLOG 2016, geared towards growers from this region.    Oregon Washington Alaska Northern California Idaho Montana Wyoming British Columbia   I am from the Rogue Valley, in southern Oregon.  Here's the Rogue River in Winter.           It's only 12/15, but maybe you guys have your lists made up already.  Not me, yet.  All I know for sure this season is, no chinenses, and less of everything else.  Might go heavier on the New Mex varieties.   
HI all, Been a LONG time since I've been active on here (5 or so years) but the bug has bitten again and I'm back. Had a late start to this years grow, but living in tropical North Queensland, I should still fair pretty well.   So far I have planted around 26 or so Varieties. I have 32 large jiffy pellets with 3 seeds per pellet. Ill post pics when I figure out how again... If there is a pinned post somewhere I would love a link... Anyways what I have so far are; 7 Pot Barrackpore Yellow 7 Pot (my second favourite) 7 Pot Caramel TS Moruga Black Naga Scorpion Orange Choc Scorpion Naga Viper MA Wartryx Brain Strain BOC Yellow Moruga 7 Pot Chaguanas Carolina Reaper (lots) Butch T Brain Strain Yellow Yellow Bhut Monster Naga 7 Pot Infinity...
Well here we go again!   I just got finished planting seeds for 70 plants. Scaling back a bit this year; last year was a lot of work! That and I have to do more than garden this season ;)   My apologies as I can't remember shit where I got all the seeds from. Some were harvested from pods some I saved, and some were sent to me. I can say this 99% originated from the most generous THP members!   Without further ado, here's the 2015 list:   Red 7 Pot Lava: Mikey Black Thai        : Mikey Yellow Jonah  : Mikey Jack’s Choc Superhot: Mikey Red Bhutlah   : Mikey Tepin x Lemmon drop Pimenta Lisa : Stefan Brazilian Starfish Bell Poblano Billy Biker Jalapeno Jimmy Nardello Bishops Crown Sweet Hungarian Paprika Bahamian Goat Urfa Biber Jelly Bean...

This year I'm growing some more common stuff that I can use in my cooking. The fence is to keep my dog and other critters at bay. The bed was filled with a high-quality mix made with native soils. The brick I had lying around from when I reduced the size of my flower bed in front of my house. Current grow list: Beefsteak tomato Roma tomato Jalapeño pepper Shishito pepper Green bell pepper Texas sweet onions Cilantro I wanna add a Cayenne type pepper, garlic and some Culantro real soon.
Ok, I wasn't going to do a glog this year. So many projects going on with the house, but part of that is a new garden plot. So, I guess this is the best way to document progress. I'm running a drip irrigation this year to free up my time for other things. Last year I discovered Aerogardening. I started plants late last year I the Aerogarden. They ended up producing and being just as big as my Feb. starts. Sold on hydro! This year I acquired another AG from a thrift shop for $5. I hacked it with a bigger pump and planning on a led hack as well. Next year I'm running a bigger scale hydro setup with my DIY Cob Led build. Anyways I'm on my 3rd batch of AG starts. I'm growing lots of GoatsWeed, Carolina Cayenne, Thai, Chi-Chien, Sadabahar...
First seeds for the 2017 season have been sown end of September already.   It will end up with more than 220 varieties = aprox. 1600 plants and I hope I will have enough water in the next hot summer.   Around 600 seedlings have been transplanted so far and grow in 1 Liter pots. All others will follow as soon as they have sufficient size.   Temps are still ok with 17°C at night and up to 25°C at the afternoon. Lanzarote is a desert island with suptropical climate and I don´t aspect any  cool night until January-February.   Here is my 2017 list
Heres the list.  Hopefully it will get smaller rather than bigger.   7 Pot Barrackpore 7 Pot Brain Strain Caramel 7 Pot Brain Strain Chocolate Strain 1 7 Pot Brain Strain Chocolate Strain 2 7 Pot Brain Strain Chocolate Strain 3 7 Pot Brain Strain Chocolate Strain 4 7 Pot Brain Strain Chocolate Strain 5 7 Pot Brain Strain Red 7 Pot Brain Strain x Assam Bhut 7 Pot Brain Strain Yellow 7 Pot Brown 7 Pot Bubblegum Bhutlah 7 Pot Bubblegum Caramel 7 Pot Bubblegum Chocolate Elongated 7 Pot Bubblegum Chocolate Round 7 Pot Bubblegum Cluster 7 Pot Bubblegum Elongated x JRGS 7 Pot Bubblegum MAMP 7 Pot Bubblegum Moruga 7 Pot Bubblegum Naga 7 Pot Bubblegum Orange 7 Pot Bubblegum Red 7 Pot Bubblegum White 7 Pot Bubblegum x Aji Jobito 7 Pot Bubblegum x...
No specific theme this year, as although I enjoyed sourcing and growing Fataliis last season I did find this a little limiting for other things I wanted to grow.  So this year I return to my usual eclectic mix of old favourites and new varieties I'm itching to try!   Current list updated 16/01:   I’ve decided to go heavy on c.baccatum this season, I just can’t get enough of the beautiful flavours and mid-range heat.   I’ve also been careful to limit my super hots and generally turned down the SHU wick a bit this year too, as to be honest I only have limited use for the face melters.   I’m growing out my own Lemon Drop x Aji White Fantasy cross… can’t wait to see what Lemon Drop Fantasy will bring and very excited about this, hoping for...
Okay, back in the saddle again.  I checked out of this forum last September, when my wife and I went on an 8-week vacation.  We had a blast, then I came home to two months of yard work to catch up on, and holiday season to contend with   :doh:      I just this week finished grinding up all the dry pods from last season.  Managed to get my seeds in to soak on Jan. 15th, and into the Jiffy Pellets on Jan. 16th. I'm going for fewer varieties this season, but 3 or 4 plants of most varieties that I grow out.  No small pod peppers this year, just too labor intensive for the results, although I have some awesome small pod powders laid away.   Speaking of which, I have so much powder I'm considering packaging and selling some this summer.   I'm...
So this season will be my third garden the first two years went pretty well . I had good luck with Cayennes, and habaneros so I wanted to try some super hots . I live in Halifax Canada so our grow season isn't the best for super hots but Im trying any way just getting them them started extra early.   Most of my seeds came from peppernorth.com I picked a valu pack of 5 and received  -Carolina Reapers -Trinidad Scorpion Reds -7 pot brainstrain red -Bhut jolokia red -Fatalii yellow    and a friend gave me one of those small pop cans with seeds in it and I have germinated them they are Moruga scorpion reds .      Here is my grow station for now im looking around for a nice grow tent . I have another home built light system as well but dont...
So after getting off to a good start I slamed into a brick wall concerning germinating seeds it did not matter what I did. I realized that I needed to do some serious thinking & my green thumb instincts was telling me this is what I needed to do. So I know it is not much to look at but the plan now is to grow for this pepper Jelly recipe I came up with last year but only had enough for one test batch everyone loved it even a friend who never had any & thought she would not like it. The ox heart tomatoes that will be grown at moms will be sold at the farmers market as well as some of my pepper Jelly I have sowed Bronze Fennel as well & have Brazilian Starfish pods placed for possible volunteers they will have to be relocated but that's...
so...as a few of you know that when i came on here.. one of my mission was to be able to acquire some pods and or seeds of JAMAICAN SCOTCH BONNETs.... others came along to help me with seeds (smokemaster, midwestchilihead, jamison and GreenTea) but i had a hard time growing them due to various reasons.it was my first grow.. so anyways.. along came a guy name Steve954 who introduced us to the MoA (ministry of agriculture) Jamaican scotch bonnets... again i am truly humbled and glad i am able to grow this pepper got a couple germing in jiffy pucks.. and a couple in my aerogarden.... please feel free to post comment.. especially those who was honored to get these seeds.... and without further a do!!.. let us start a progress...
So I whacked back a load of plants, trimmed the root balls and dropped in half gallon pots to eventually bring indoors. In the meantime I am trying to get some veg as I have none on most of them.. Do I reintroduce Nitrogen in say a 10-10-10 or is there a better fertilizer for freshly cut transplants? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
Well 2016 is already fast approaching and it's time to start thinking about what to grow this coming year. Last year I started seeds in mid Dec and was running out of room for plants by the time plant out finally came. I think this year I will start the majority in January.    I was going through my seeds to send to a few and figured it was time to start formulating a list of what I want to grow.  There was a lot that I grew 2015 that while ok, I didn't see myself growing again and a few that definitaly made the grow list again. a few off the top my head being paper lantern, baha goats and moa bonnets. Just the right heat levels and great as smoked powders.    Here is my non official ever changing list. (so much for having a smaller...
Hi all, As of today, I'm sitting at day 69 of my Carolina Reaper being in the aerogarden. I have a few pictures of the life so far of the plant. This one is a comparison shot from day 14 to day 60. The plant started off very slow and the fact that I had two tomato plants in the aerogarden with it only hindered its growth. This one is from today. This is day 69, with my hand as comparison. I topped the plant just above the fifth node and have pruned back the largest foliage leaves. You can see just how much growth there has been in just those nine days. I uploaded the pictures via Tapatalk so of they aren't working let me know and I'll try to get on the computer and redo it. Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
Hi there,   This is my first glog. Actually it is my first year growing pretty much anything. I live in Metro Vancouver and what started with me buying a jalapeño and burning bush from home depot has escalated into about 15 pepper plants.     Next I added a Moruga Scorpion, Giant Ghost, and a Jigsaw. As well as Tequila Sunrise, Corno Rosso, and a chocolate bell for the wife.   Thinking that growing for the first time wasn't challenging enough I decided to try my hand at a DWC set up... So I took my 5 hot peppers and threw them into a bucket.     Well I ended up having some issues with root rot and after cleaning it up, adding more air, and light proofing the tub the root rot reoccurred so out of the tub they came.  I cut off all the...
After an epic fail with my 2015 glog, I hope the 2016 glog will be more... glog.   EDIT: seeds sprouted till Jan.,15,2016 - see below in red   First seeds to hit the wet towel on Jan.,09, were these:   annuum chile de agua   ***   florela 2015   5/6 chile de agua   ***   smokemaster chile piquin silvestre (chile del monte)   ***   Manuel Salinas 2015   1/many farmer's market jalapeno PL   ***   Aaron TT   4/4 purira   ***   smokemaster 2015   baccatum    trepadeira do Werner   ***   standbyandfire --> Kentishman   chinense   bido tacana PI 543181   ***   smokemaster 2015 BOC   ***   AaronB   1/6 CGN22091   ***   Aaron TT   1/4 coyote zan white   ***   smokemaster 2015 doumaca   ***   smokemaster 2015   3/3 goronong   ***   smokemaster...
The is thread with the humungous solar dehydrator. :D G-Day, im Mez or Mezo & im new to this part of Australia having come from Perth (Western Australia) where growing chili peppers is so easy (except the heat). I live in the border ranges in northern New South Wales (bordering Queensland) and its a mixed bag of temperate & tropical conditions, the summers are very hot, wet & humid, the winters are dry & sunny. Average daily temps. And average monthly rainfall. Aussies reading this will already know this, but people in other country's probably paint a picture of Australia as a hot dry/dusty land but this is far from the truth, up north its full blown tropics with a wet season & 100% humidity (yuck). Down south its...

Later as usual, I started the 2016 tonight. Reason for this cause I'm growing out mostly crosses and I don't want to much yield (that I need to process :P) All in all I still ended up with 45 varieties and was aiming for 30... oh well   Here is the list.

Ok, that year i thought: should i care about the hottest and meanest pods if the ones i like most are ones with not so extreme heat profiles? And since i miss so many classics i didn't bother with new crosses. Yellow also are so good. 3 supers i have are all yellow (they just tastes better).   This time i try with Pepperlover. Nothing against Semillas that was my supplier and has been a great one, i just like to try different vendors. Here my seeds:    Chinense: Yellow Bhut Jolokia, Yellow Trinidad Scorpion, Trinindad 7 Pod Original Yellow, Datil. Pubescens: Locato (PI 387838) Annuum: Wild Tepin, Stuffed Red Giant, Hot Beads, Hot Salsa.   Last 2 were freebies... I'm not sure what Hot Salsa is. Also Stuffed Red Giant is not hot but it...
Starting a purple thread. While there will be pictures of normal green plants, the main focus will be the color PURPLE  :eek:   Got a few varieties of things that came in, but only germinating a few for fun since it's so late into the season already. If anything, my plan is to toss a few pics up here and there at my leisure.    Enjoy!     Here are most of the things I started. This is mostly just a preview for next year when I run more seed to select through. I know not all of these are purple varieties; a few I just wanted to try sooner than later like the Brazilian Starfish and the Fish Pepper.      Some of the first purple to show...       And some Fooled You Jalapenos. They have zero heat, but should be full flavor. I wanted one...
