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...

Plantguy76 · Dec 28, 2015

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...

KiNGDeNNiZ · Feb 21, 2013

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...

madlionsmith · Nov 2, 2016

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

D3monic · Dec 6, 2015

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...

hotdogcat · Oct 8, 2016

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

JoeMay · Sep 20, 2016

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...

Mezo · Feb 4, 2012

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.

Essegi · Dec 13, 2015

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...

mrgrowguy · May 23, 2016

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...

So this happened today when my fiancé decided to get this awesome set up for me! It was somehow less than $500! So it looks like I will be getting an early start right after thanksgiving! e

tsurrie · Jan 10, 2016

So this is the new season... can't wait to put the seeds in the dirt. I just finished preparing the grow "corner" for my future seedlings, and everything works fine. The lights are prepared and I plan not to go over 200 plants this year.. but we'll see how that goes. Like last year ... I'm planning to grow mostly chinense's and annums... but there will be some baccatums (Aji Lemondrop, Aji Amarillo,...) and pubescens (Rocoto,...) that hogleg sent me.... I'm still working on the final grow list. But I'm really looking forward to start the action in a week or so.

Tick · Jul 24, 2016

Belated glog 2016 – finally time for an update on my peppers! I started sowing seeds in early March, and I've had less time for the peppers until recently than in other years. Despite that, germination was very successful at first. Then I started overthinking things and that, combined with a new seed starting mix, almost stopped new sprouts appearing. So, I don't have all the varieties that I wanted, but it's probably more than enough anyway. I'm not sure how far some of the plants will get in terms of producing a good harvest. However, I don't need many pods to be able to compare and save seeds from the F2 and F3 hybrids. I'm also using more modestly sized containers, at least for the hybrids. As for overwinters, I had a few at work...

Yes, I said I was going to scale back to maybe even nothing. But, this is just not going to happen.

Hi All, I'm back again after quite a while and more than a few changes. Health issues got in the way of being active here after Christmas, but I've resolved those and am ready to plug in here again, albeit with less time than I had before. Anyway... on to the chiles! My friends with a CISA farm have started 6 MoA Scotch Bonnets, what I hope are 2 King Nagas and a couple of Jalapenos. I have three 1020 trays worth of 3inch pots planted with 4 varieties of Gochu peppers. I sowed them a week ago and they're just now starting to sprout. I also have 12 pots of Texas Wild Pequins and 6 pots of Guwahati Bhuts planted that haven't started to sprout. In addition to the solar food dryer, I picked up a stainless steel 10-quart pressure cooker...

HillBilly Jeff · Jan 19, 2016

Just threw together some numbers and it looks like my entire pepper grow this season will be 72 plants. One tray. I think I can get them all in the raised beds. Not sure if I will do them all in the raised beds, but I think I can. I have a lot of peppers still in the freezer. I have enough sauce. I have a lot of powder. I just need some fresh peppers to grow through summer. I will be hitting tomatoes harder this year though. I have a lot of tomatoes I want to can. I will try to get my preliminary list up tomorrow.

simon04 · Feb 14, 2016

This year, I've greatly reduced the number of varieties I'm growing. Hopefully, the plants I do grow will have enough space, and more of my attention [emoji3] The grow list this year consists of; Diamond White Lombardo Paprika Greygo Cherio Roxa Aji Pickled Frog Paprika Kurtovzska Kapia Jalapeño Early Chocolate Beauty Frigitello Aji Habanero I'm also writing some blog articles about my growing year. The first one is at http://justsimon.co.uk/chilli-plants-how-to-start-the-chilli-growing-season/. It's just the basic info about how I like to grow from seed.

dragonsfire · Oct 3, 2015

This weekend going to -2c, right now 1c so good time to start. First plant is the Tinker Bell, a very sweet mini pepper, no heat, was going to leav him out but thought better of it, this is the second crop he produced so does really good. I transplanted him in a small pot and waiting for the peppers to ripen before I trim the branches. The second is a Red Habanero that didn't produce anything this year. Repotted him, used 2/3 vermiculite to 1 part CM compost. The rest will follow as they ripen :)

Trippa · Aug 2, 2015

Ok I have taken a long time to get back to growing after a few life upheavals over the past 6 months ,which have culminated in an overseas relocation, change of job and massive change in climate and garden scope. So I am back to my country of birth and where my roots still grow strongly in the land of the long white cloud... New Zealand. Everything about it has been positive and I hope my garden adventures can be equally so. The sad part was I had to give up a good portion of my seed collection which numbered about 150-170 unique types and had to restock once I arrived back here. So I now only have 78 unique varieties and I have lost one or 2 of my prized varieties... One of which was a big blocky pod which ripened like a toucans beak...

Comptine · Jan 7, 2016

Hello friends! To keep me from adding more peppers to my grow list for the season I am now starting my 2016 glog. I'm still a week or two out from starting, but the prep is starting. The quick breakdown of last year is: I started really late (first time grower), I wanted to do only super hots for the lols at first. Combined with a terribly cold and not particularly sunny summer, I got extremely few supers, if any on some plants, and I had to many plants of the same variety. I had a few annuums that did OK. The theme this year is variety. I'm trying to grow peppers that are aesthetically nice looking, as well as trying to spread out the heat levels and trying some from each of the 5 popular sub species. The progress so far is...

morro · Mar 24, 2016

Hi THP, I discovered you one week ago while googling for info about some peppers. I decided to grow some super-hots this year and at the same time to start a glog here, which will be my first post. The hottest pepper I've tried so far is the Mighty Jalapeno :D ...and off course the Reaper will be one of the plants I will grow, I guess this happens to many new to super-hots, right? :) So I have these seeds: Carolina Reaper Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Bhut Jolokia Red Habanero unkonwn and ofc Jalapeno ... + other non pepper related stuff This will be a raised bed grow, I know it's a pretty late start for super-hots but still hope that they will give me some ripe pods, we usually have a nice weather here May to...

Getting a late start this year but hopefully it does not provide any impact to yield. I have several plants that started in the cheater tank so not everyone is a seed waiting to hit the dirt. I also decided to cut back BIG TIME on super hots this year and focus more on heat and flavors that most enjoy as well as ones that are most excellent smoked!

twiasp · Apr 12, 2016

Guess I will document my growing. Feast or Famine I could learn from it either way. Got a late start to my plants for my first year growing. Medium = Fox Farms Happy Frog Water = Natural Spring Water (grocery store, 2gal for a 2 dollars) Light = 4' T8 single 6500k bulb. So it begins...March 29th Only 3 germinated. Took them out of moisture domes at different stages to see how it goes..Apr 1st True leaves starting on them, made some foil wrapped cardboard for reflection...Apr 8th True leaves getting bigger, no height increased in plants, just purple stems and purplish leaves...Apr 12
