Glogs
Start a Grow Log for your growing season.
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.

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?

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.

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.

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...

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...
Hello from south florida. This year's grow started just after thanksgiving when sowed several different strains of scotch bonnet. After many attempts, I finally got my hands on some scotch bonnet seeds from the Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture!
Scotch Bonnet-MoA
Red-Scotch Bonnet-RedFoodarama, Green-Scotch Bonnet-MoA, Black-Scotch Bonnet-Papa Joe's Mkt
Scotch Bonnet-TFM Tree
Scotch Bonnet TFM still producing
Growing some indoor Chocolate Habs and yellow fitali started under 6 -6500k CFLs then upgraded to a 300W LED light. Have some pictures if I can figure out how to add them. Looking for any and all input and suggestions!
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
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.
Once again it's that time of year ... sowing miss labelling and no shows. Thank you to all that have helped me find new and obscure bonnets and hybrids. This forum generosity has been staggering and the Christmas Cards across the pond full of seed have worked well in both directions ... clone tent cleaned T5's dusted off

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. I love peppers, love growing them, watching other people grow them, developing new crosses, eating them, talking about them, and yes, I even enjoy some drama from time to time ;)

Like the title says, better late than never. It's been such a busy beginning to the year with work, I've not been able to do much of anything on this website, but I'm going to make a go of it just because this community has been such a good thing in my pepper growing experience. I want to stay connected.
I began sowing seed at the end of December and had four more stages to it - two in January and two more in February.
Here is the grow list:
A1 Bob's Pickling Pepperlover Annuum
A2 Hot Cherry Pepper Buckeye Pepper Annuum
A3 Jalapeno Biker Billy Buckeye Pepper Annuum

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...
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.
Hi everyone :dance:
I figured i could start my own grow thread to get help during the process and sharing pictures with you !
btw i speak french as 1st language so my grammar may not be on point !
1 month ago i wasn't into pepper at all and i was at a buddy's house and he show me is little pepper plant and i came back at home to see that there was a huge pepper scene ahahah!
So i went to the local store to grab some seeds for sweet and hot pepper, then i found the online seller, logged on a fb pepper page and now iam here hahaha.
So i germinated somes under the t5ho that i use for my aquarium
Then i made a diy fixture and ordered 2 more t5ho
I have now ordered 3 more t5ho to add later in this fixture that can...
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.
Hello my friends,I am still in the cold and slow time of year.I have my first(3) seedlings of the year.The first plant was the "Mystery Wine".A Chis Joyner masterpiece that eluded my garden last year due to my failure to do a good job drying seeds.I got this from a pod the reigning Growdown Champ (terry) sent me.Not many changes this year,And I still need the right hip replaced,I am holding out as long as I can,(7 years till I retire)I will update what's going in the garden when I see them in a pot,I put out a list before that never rang true so we will delay my "Wish List"
Thanks for stopping by all you old and soon to be friends.My updates will pick up when my weather does,
Good luck to all of you this year.
Randy
To go...
