Don't expect too much info here. I'm just going to be posting a bunch of photos of pepper plants and pods.
Purple Jalapeno
Ghost Peppers
Carolina Reapers (or at least that is what the nursery claimed they are).
(More photos coming soon.)

It's that time of the year again......these are the habaneros I am growing this year. Everything went into the ground in April besides the two survivors from last years grow...more on them below ;). All purchased from chili plants.com.
HABANERO CHOCOLATE
HABANERO JAMAICAN RED
PRIMO YELLOW
TRINIDAD SCORPION CHOCOLATE
REGINAS RED HOTS ****
7 POT BUBBLE GUM ****
SUN GOLD HYBRID (cherry tomatoes)
Okra
Raspberry cauliflower
Broccoli
Strawberries
So the good news is that the Regina Red Hots and 7pot bubblegum plants came back from last year. Regina is more like a bush while the 7pot plant is like a TREE! You can see how tall and wide it is in the picture with me. I am 6' tall for size reference. It has 60 + pods on it. Between my...
I started fairly early this year of 2013 for 2014. I had a good garden season this summer and grew lots of super hots and non super hots. I produced over 200 pounds of tomatoes for canning, and lots of cucumbers for pickles. I used my last big tomato and pepper harvest to can salsa. I plan on growing more plants this year and trying to grow some types i did not get around to this summer. I also plan on growing peas, tomatoes, rhubarb, mixed greens, pumpkins, and non super hot peppers and thai chiles for drying. Here's an updated list of what i'm growing so far. I have plans for lots more peppers so stay tuned. I want to thank all the great people on here that taken their time to send me seeds to grow, i want to give a shout out...
I live in Denmark and grow under these conditions: growing season is roughly from late May/early June to late Sept./early Oct.
Average temps.: June: 59 F July: 61 F Aug: 61 F Sept: 54 F
Av. Days with precipitation: June: 22 july: 23 Aug: 20 Sept: 22

I start mid February, no artificial lighting, begin to bring out plants in my cold greenhouse from around April and plant out permanently from early June. It is too cold to grow chinense varieties outside, but annuums and some baccatums do alright outside in a sunny, sheltered position. I am trying to develop varieties that are able to cope with our cold summers, main focus is...
Hi All,
First let me say I'm SUPER new to growing peppers and have never done any hydroponics before. Any tips, tricks, critique are greatly appreciated. I'm basically winging it and hoping for the best! I'm doing this 100% indoors as I live in an apartment. I love peppers, and love cooking. I am a big fan of making salsa and always wanted to make my own hot sauce! This is what inspired me!
My background is in IT and Electronics so this grow will be supplemented by many electronic projects.
My current setup is as follows.
Two-3 Gallon buckets.
2x4x5 Grow tent special off EBAY.
1x126 LPHx2 Air pump.
1 AgroBrite FL24 2ft 4 Bulb.
Arduino powering a LCD display with temp/humidity.
Ph meter I had already had!
Already after setting...
Back for yet another year! I've had two modestly successful grows with coco so far. I'm hoping to build on the knowledge gained and have an improved season (weather permitting) this year. At this point I've limited myself to a few basic peppers. I've got
- Red Bhut - paper towel/baggie started Dec. 24th
- Yellow Bhut - paper towel/baggie started Dec. 24th
- Reaper - paper towel/baggie started Dec. 24th - though this one dried out while I was away and I'm not sure if the seeds are still viable
- MoA Bonnet - yet to be started
The paper towel and baggie method seems to be the most successful way for me to get seeds going so far. I've had very little success with rockwool. I still have some nutrients left over from previous years grow...
Now that the new year is upon us and I've received my order for seeds, I figured I'd at least start my glog for 2015. I'm on the fence for how many varieties to grow at this point because I have very limited space. I'm definitely growing Jolokia's and J-MoA's like last year. These two peppers are a favourite for both me and my wife. We dry the jolokia's, grind them into a powder and use it to make hotwings. They are fantastic! The J-MoA's are used for making Jerk sauce for chicken and pork.
Credit for providing me seed for these two peppers goes to the extreme generosity of JJJ for the Jolokia's, and Jamison for the MoA's. They both provided me with seeds last year (2014) when I needed them most and when my season looked to be at it's...
Hello from Florida! I am starting a Glog to document my progress on growing peppers. I bought seeds from Pepper Joe's, Peppers by Mail and rareseeds.com.
I was sprouting these inside on heating mats and humidomes, but decided to take them outside as the temperature and humidity seemed better.
I planted the seeds from Pepper Joe's first. I had poor germination, maybe 10%. I did not like the germination setup, so cannot say much about seed quality. I used miracle gro seeling mix which was horrible. I sprouted them indoors on heat mats. Here are the Pepper Joe's seedlings..
I used Jiffy soil mix for the seeds by Peppers by Mail and rareseeds.com. I used peat pots instead of plastic pots and sprouted them outside under grow...
Good day,
It's mine first time posting here on the forum. This is also my first time growing Manzanos.
GOAL
To gain insight from other Manzano pepper growers and learn how to better cultivate this species.
WHAT THIS IS
This is my first time growing Manzano peppers. This is a manzano project grown on our family's commercial pepper ranch (we call farms ranches, here in SoCal).
This log is a place for me to put down photos and technical data and for YOU to share your photos and data so we can grow better peppers!
THIS IS A CASUAL GROW LOG. I don't have the time to make it super formal and scientific.
Let's start some good dialogue on our experiences. I will try to answer any questions as best I can, but I may be a little slow in...
Since I'm quite new here, i would like to show some photos from this year's grow... I grew on a balcony and in a bit shady garden, with lots of reflected sunlight from the surrounding buildings, and still had nice pods.
how it all started...
growing on the balcony with nice view
padrón
thai hot orange
fried padróns
bahamian goat (started the season bit late, and this was the only pod on the baha plant)
sweet wrinkled old man, also loved it fried!
moruga scorpion yellow with some yummy hungarian sausage
padrón harvest
scotch bonnet. this one was really prolific, don't know exactly which scotch bonnet variety it is, maybe someone can id it... had a strong "tutti frutti' flavor.
end-of-season harvest
So, this year, for some reason I have this strange urge to grow more. This urge isn't limited to 1 or 2 new plants even though I live and grow in a small apartment, this is the type of urge that will make my soon to be wife question my sanity (not that she hasn't already). The following peppers will have some form of real estate in my apartment (the anuums will be outside to be fair, but that is 'cuz they like to be annuals anyways).
Unstable Hybrid (year 2 woo) ✓ 3 Gallon Soil
Peach Bhut ✓ 7 Gallon Soil
Tomato Pepper ✓ 3 Gallon Soil
Farmers Jalapeño ✓ Hydroponic, 2x 1 Gallon soil
Tekne Dolması ✓ 3 Gallon Soil, 1 Gallon soil
Costa Rican Yellow ✓ 7 Gallon Soil
Chocolate Brain Strain ✓ Hydroponic
7 Pot Jonah ✓ Hydroponic, 3x 3 Gallon...
Disclaimer: Incoherent rambling and cursing to follow.
So, once more I subject myself to the sadomasochistic pain of growing peppers in Canada. Not just growing peppers in Canada, but 'me' growing peppers in Canada. The universe has repeatedly informed me that this will not happen, but have I ever been one to take a hint? NO, NOT I!
I see this frozen wasteland in the middle of the plains and I say to myself, "Self, what does this whore-mother of a country need? Why, it needs some desert plants! MORE DESERT PLANTS! Not even tropical, just something right from the middle of some f**king desert. That is what I WILL FORCE TO GROW HERE THROUGH SHEER FORCE OF WILL!"
For those who have not followed along with my adventures from...
Well, it's the new year, and it's time to get things going for 2016.
First up, last year's grow can be found here -> http://thehotpepper.com/topic/44060-slade122s-2014-greenhouse-glog/
I'm going to grow around the same number of plants as I did last year. Somewhere between 130-150.
I decided to do my starts differently this year. I'm going to start them entirely in the greenhouse, rather than starting them in my seed stand. I'm using 2 48"x20" heat mats. I'm planting in 3x8 cell layout "Landscape Trays" with dimensions 2.32"W x 2.2"L x 3.06"H. Last grow I used a ton of 2" individual cups. It was a really big pain, not doing that again. The only thing I'm risking is greater potential for disease and pest infestations, but I've...
Today marks the start of my 2016 – 2017 grow.
This year will be all about my crosses both old and new as I have some very special peppers to look forward too.
The majority of my plants will be F1 - F4 variety’s along with a few must haves. Along with my crazy hot crosses I intend to focus some resources this year on focusing on some cooler everyday varieties too.
I have overwintered several plants that where great performers last season so I should have some good yields.
I got started a bit later this year(by design). Now I'm regretting the decision to do so. Many of my plants are still tiny. My largest are only about two inches tall.
Quite a few of my seeds germinated but the cotties struggled to uncurl or the terminal half turned brown. Although many survived their growth has been slow. It wasn't damping off but I wonder if to much water was to blame.
But, I am under way now.
While a few of these were started just to give to friends, I'll probably not be able to resist growing them all myself as well.
I'm pretty excited about this year's list. I am leaning a bit more to the sweet and sweet/heat peppers in deference to my taste for canned sweet-hots.
Corbaci Sweet
Zololisty
Sugar Rush Cream...
Greetings,
I've never done a Glog before, and I am new around here, but lets go!
This year is my 3rd year buying seeds and starting them on my own. I have been buying plants at big box stores for years before that. Its also my first year with a heat mat and germ dome. Makes it alot easier for sure. Last year I started around March 1st in a terrible seed blend and it put me far behind, but they all eventually caught up. I also moved during that time as well. So this year we are gonna boogie-oogie-oogie! (ihope)
So far my house has peppers and herbs on all the window sills, and I am starting more. I have a front bay window that gets good amount of light, its currently holding the germ dome and heat mat, maybe a dozen peppers in 3.5"...
First time grower, only thing I have ever grown is a watermelon plant in my teens, all I did was dig up about a 6" circle of soil in the yard, pop a seed in, water often, and I had incredible results! Many rediculous sized melons!
I started late, and on a tight budget, and I don't have a yard, was living on a 1st floor apt, now on a 3rd floor, only receiving about 4.5ish hours of direct sunlight a day after moving to a 3rd floor :(
My grow is tiny this year, I started with 2 already growing melon plants, and an already growing Jalapeno plant, I have since then added a pair of baby red bell pepper plants. The baby bell plants were already around 18" tall or so, and one already had fruits started. Next year I plan to start much...
Okay, time to get the 2015 grow season underway!

Well I've started germing my seeds for this year, definitely ramping it up from last year's boring orange hab, Serrano, red jalapeno, baby bells.
It's still quite a ways off from going into the ground up here in Maine, but I've got them going on a heat mat, and when they pop I'll put them under some led grow lights that I use for all my early veg.

Hold over plants from last year:
5x orange hab (still producing pods)

Greetings everyone ! Just got my season underway here in Portland Oregon after sitting out while just tinkering a bit the past few seasons. This year is different in that I'm not growing out as many plants or strains as in the past. It was tough to resist that little voice that wispers what about this pepper or that strain or how about that cool cross so and so sent you but I seeded 72 rooters and managed to fight off that temptation .. well almost . I was gonna only grow 2 strains and 1 cross but while digging out my cross seeds I ran across some Jays Peach Bhuts which I had to include because the only other time I tried them the seeds sent me were crossed. These come from John Ford and he's never let me down in the past, but that was...
Really new grower here, but diving right in. Got myself a 2 foot / 4 tube T5 balast with Agrobrite 6400k's in it (they came with).
Got a tiny 8" clip on fan, a cheap humidity/temp monitor, and and some grow light ratchets to hold the thing up.
Waiting on a 2x4x5 grow tent... so until that gets here, I figured I'd start a couple seeds. Put 2 carolina reaper seeds into some peat pellets, in a plastic domed starter... on a small heat mat.
Got the light on a timer.
I read that peppers and peat don't necessarily get along, but I wanted to experiment and see for myself. If I can get these sprouted, I'll transfer them into a couple 2 gallon dirt pots.
Ultimately I'd like to get a recirculating hydroponic kit, but still...
Waiting patiently, for the wild thing seed train to arrive. Then maybe I can decide on a final grow list for this coming season. I had intended on cutting back from the 170+ varieties I grew last year but realized a new fear that I may be growing in the range of 300 this year, (if sanity continues to elude me). Whats new this year is the plunge into WILDS. I am planning to grow close to 2 dozen wild varieties and over winter them. Also in the works are plans to set up a banker plant system to maintain a constant supply of Aphidius colemani and aphidius ervi. This is the equivalent to nuclear/biological warfare on aphids
This will be year 2 for the landrace xalapas and serranos. I am hoping that everything will continue to grow true...
First grow log, getting this started a bit later than my actual peppers.
Grow List
Aji Pineapple
Aji Bishop's Hat
Large Orange Thai
MOA Scotch Bonnet
Chocolate Habanero
Peach Bhut Jolokia SS
Started Seeds - 2/22
Started in clear plastic egg carton under cheap 2-lamp two foot T8 fixture from Amazon.
(Rotisserie chicken container had some lettuce/spinach I was playing around with)
Fixture was finicky and wouldn't light properly without fiddling with the tubes. Sent it back after 2-3 weeks.
Transplanted to solo cups - 3/5-3/10
Bought two 2-lamp two foot T5s from Home Depot and wired them to plugs and timer, 18 on 6 off. Much happier :)
Also rigged up cardboard walls and foil in hopes to keep the box a little brighter/warmer.
...
Finally, I will be putting together a grow based mainly on my preferences to taste and heat and not a blind ambitions of a newbie grower. Sometime today I will be sowing the upcoming seasons hot pepper seeds. I will be creating my grow list on the fly. I dont know if I can keep it under 100 varieties but that's the goal. 350+ last year was a 1st and a last of that magnitude for me, or at least til I get my plantation.
A couple of varieties still elude me as they have not yet appeared on the seed train, Chocolate Reaper and chocolate Lava. I will be growing lots of chocolates this year and have my eyes open for these 2.
List to follow.
But first, The festivities.
Merry Christmas!
GALAPAGOENSE
BHUT CHOCOLATE SMOOTH
MORUGA CARMAL...
Starting this more to keep in touch with some of the amazing folks on here...but also because Jamie was awesome enough to send me some very cool seeds from different sources that deserve to be documented. As some of you know I just returned from deployment and have a crazy schedule these days. I "should" be home most of the rest of the year, so I am going to give the garden a shot this year.
Late start on the seeds but here is what Jamie sent...minus the dried pods which were some of mine from last year.
Last year I grew a bunch of wilds...and due to our mild winter and rainy fall, they still look like this.
Even last year's growdown plant (Large Orange Thai) is still (somewhat) kicking!!!
Grow list:

Hi all,
It's my third year growing peppers. I grow on my east/south facing back deck here in Toronto, Canada. As such, I don't have a lot of room to grow, although I do grow a few other veggies so I suppose I could grow more peppers than I do now...
Varieties I'm growing this year.
1) Brazilian Starfish (thanks to Wolf1888 for the seeds!!)
2) Carolina Reaper (seeds from last year's grow)
3) Trinidad Scorpion (seeds from last year's grow)
4) Red Naglah (thanks to Valleyman for the seeds!!)
5) Mystery Ecuadoran Pepper (sent by my mom from the Andean region [Cotacachi] of Ecuador)
I sought to germinate my seeds in wet paper towel placed within ziploc bags. I started in mid-April but I'll start earlier next year. My starfish and...

Hello all,
I want to start out by saying, I really wanted to publish a grow log this year. I had started some of my pepper plants in late January, and a few more varieties in February. To make a long story short, due to work overload, this season didn't go as planned. So now that things have settled down, I thought I would share my (super hot rookie season) progress. Better late than never, right?
All of my plants were doing great indoors, and were hardened off and moved outside in May. Most of them were still in solo cups, using the dual cup technique. I was finding it hard to find time to get my garden ready to put my plants in the ground, but managed to keep most of the plants alive.
In June (YES, June) I was...
So I'm starting this a bit early, but I'll be getting in some seeds in a day or two. Background info, student in college, living in apartment with no balcony. Will have the plants right next to my bed on a windowsill to provide some natural light, will also supplement with the following lights: https://www.amazon.com/Zilla-Reptile-Habitat-Lighting-Fluorescent/dp/B000QFROMQ (for the time being) and then move onto the https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AKKUD3Y/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza once it reaches a few inches. This all will be rested on books so I can adjust the height as they grow. Heat mat will also be provided at 79 degrees to ensure that it doesn't get too cold. The reason for 79 as well is because the I expect the lights themselves...
Hey chili brothers and sisters,
This is my 3rd year growing peppers and I might actually take it a little more serious this year. I started 132 seeds 1/8/16. I planted 4 of most varieties and have at least 1 or 2 of each potted up. Here is the list most of the seeds this year came from JCW, and I had some left over from a few other members last year. Thanks again guys!

Although i would of loved to of got my hands on some Moruga Scorpions of some Fetalii Jigsaws i had to grow what i had available at the time since i didn't have any time to wait for my order of seeds to get here. I have grown 6 different varieties of hot peppers with the hottest being my Caribbean Reds. I also have your standard Orange Habaneros growing along with these varieties/strains of Lemon Drops, Red Habaneros, Cayanne Peppers (Long Slim), and my Sandwhich worthy Serrano peppers. Here are the most recent pics of my garden, all 100% organically grown, in pots.
My mini guide to help people grow better:
I've been growing hot peppers for over 6 years now and i gotta say that my first two years was rough since i was inexperienced. Now...
