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...

CAPCOM · Jan 26, 2015

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. ...

First time growing hot peppers ever, wish me luck.. will be posting pictures along the whole way! :) :)

CAPCOM · Dec 25, 2015

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...

stc3248 · Feb 14, 2016

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: P. Onore...

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...

Boba Dink · Aug 4, 2016

Well, here goes..... 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...

InsectMan · Aug 10, 2016

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.

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.

So this will be my 1st grow season.........Was suggested i start a glog, figured it was worth a shot. Who knows how long it will last however:D Im an aussie so our season starts in a month or so (sept/oct - jan, ive begun indoors from seeds ive purchased / been given. Theres quite alot, i thought i would just grow the lot to replenish my seeds and downsize to ones i like the following season. Current setup is an electric blanket on 24/7 ~28 deg, Cheap t5 fluoros hopefully moving outside in 2-4 weeks if weather permits.

Helvete · Mar 1, 2016

Hey everyone I haven't been online much in the last 6 months. I moved from Virginia to Alaska last year and have been working on getting myself settled here. If you don't know me...you might be thinking it's a little crazy trying to grow tropical plants in a subarctic climate...but I've been growing gardens and farming in the south most of my life so it's not a mystery to me how to make it happen. In fact, many many world record fruits and vegetables have been grown in Alaska. (hint: it's the summer sun) ...unfortunately peppers don't seem to respond well to the outdoor light stress when they're trying to bloom. Fortunately, I know how to grow inside all the time. A few years ago I really got into growing indoors using...

PepperAaron · May 8, 2016

Hello everybody! I am a pepper beginner and this is mainly for my own personal use. I want to see how my plants have transformed over the season in an organized manner and a grow log seems like just the right idea! I am using Juanitos for my seeds this year because I have followed his glogs for as long as I can remember. Since I am starting very late I might as well grab some plants. April 21, 2016 Plants and seeds have arrived! Shortly after arrival I got the plants into their new homes. Baccto and Top Notch potting soils are what I have to use since the nursery doesnt have my promix yet. I got all three for 3 bucks at a local nursery because the sides were ripped wide open, I compared the weight to the unopened bags and it...

I haven't posted a glog/pics on here in a while,some plants look great others,well so,so.I wish I could figure out why some of the plants aren't growing as fast as the others. All I can say FFOF works great,im sold on it till I can figure out my own blend.

hottoddy · Jan 29, 2015

This is my first full year growing in the Boise area. Last season turned out mediocre at best. Hopefully, I learned my lessons about the weather and soil differences and make the correct adjustments. Here's the first 4 trays to germinate (72 plants). These are under a 4 bulb T5s. I've got another tray under the desk, and another 72+ in the germination station starting to sprout. Closer shot of some of the early performers. While the T5s run much hotter, the plants seem to be growing out (sideways) better. I'm also working part-time with a small, organic farm this year (5 acres). They supply produce to Boise restaurants, and even a local sauce maker. I will be in charge of the peppers. They are already growing about 5...

hey all! i'll keep it short and sweet - jumping in to the deep end head-first this year. will be my first grow season doing anything more than just putting some plants from the hardware store into the ground and letting them do their own thing. following the advice given to me directly here, and also otherwise found all over this wonderful forum, i started building a grow-box-in-a-shelving-unit sortof thing last night. got the idea from this thread: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/53268-first-glog-2015/ i have 10 little reapers going in small pots. also have two more that i had already transplanted into much bigger containers. bunch more seeds on the way from Hippy Seed in AUS: black cobra aji camba black thai tq Caysan Chilli...

I know it's a little late to start this year but it wasn't until the Royal Cornwall show in June that I got my first plant. A Royal black from the Wiltshire Chilli Farm stall. Well yesterday I found myself looking around Trelawny garden centre looking forward inspiration for a 4th of anniversary present for the wife, forth being fruit and flowers.when I found a shelf full of very sickly looking chilli plants , all marked down to around 50p. Well to cut a long story short I didn't find a present but I did pick up 15 plants.

Alynne · Apr 12, 2016

It's that time again! Just read through last year's glog and it was so helpful to have that record. This year I'm changing things up a bit. Cutting way back. I usually put 3 plants in each of my 20 x 20 pots. Some do great, some get crowded out and overshadowed. I only bought 6 from CCN this year and have 2 I over wintered. Each gets its own pot and extra attention. Hoping for huge plants and excellent output. Never had luck with jalepenos and hope this will solve. If not, next year I will go crazy again. The problem was deciding. Here's the list: Yellow Fatali - a must Chupetinho - grew 2 years ago from CCN, then from those seeds last year but they didn't grow true. Good, but not the jewels they can be. Ancho Hybrid 211...

Noah Yates · Oct 28, 2015

Frost has ended this season and its time to begin preparation for 2016. I extremely excited about next season. I have learned several important lessons from this last season in particular.... and although I "knew" the lessons before I experienced the consequences.... I made the mistakes anyway. -dont go too big---you end up spreading your resources too thin... time, water, nutrients (including soil and amendments), space (for some people), etc. This last season I had over 750 pepper plants alone. I also was trying to grow 18 hills of watermelons, 15 hills of pumpkins, 9 hills of cucumbers, 8 rows of muskmelons, a 4mound x 16mound grid of corn beans and squash, and over 100 tomatoes. I never even got around to planting the...

Hello Friends! Ever since I signed up for this forum I've been loving seeing everybody's grow updates, and was inspired to start my own grow log. Bear in mind that this is my first year growing ANYTHING, so if there's any pointers y'all have for me along the way, or see me doing something detrimental, any and all advice is welcomed. I have just sown seeds yesterday. They are Reapers and Chocolate Habs. I do have 3 established plants outdoors already (Bhuts, Orange Habs,and Bells) but this log wI'll just be about the ones I started from seed myself. I am using Jiffy Seed Starter Mix as the medium and the flats are on a heating mat (10-20° above ambient). Also I figured I'd add the couple seedlings that I currently have housed under a...

So, this year we had a very wet spring in Kansas. The majority of my pepper plants were direct sow this year, and they all were flooded out. Luckily I also did some containers so not all is lost. Here are my three Scotch Bonnets. First time growing these, and I have still yet to eat one! Hopefully three plants is enough to enjoy, and also make a powder for my breakfast. Usually use ghost powder or flakes in my eggs in the morning. Yes, I eat Ghost Peppers for breakfast. Carribean Hab Pumpkin vines Sunburst squash. Never grown this before either.

Hi, Decided to start growing from seeds after being gifted a plant two years ago. I loved to see the plant develop and produce pods in my window Discovered these forums after I started growing. Also waited until now to start my very own Grow log with pictures and videos. Hope you'll enjoy! March 16 – day 0 Seed purchase and germination.

Capsaicin Fiend · Jun 25, 2016

With the amount of chili's I go through in a week, and the not-so-reliable quality of the ones I can get at the asian markets here... I decided to finally try to grow my own! I searched for a while on Amazon to find a reputable seller with live Thai Chili plants, as I cook mostly Thai and Indian and those are my go to. I didn't want to attempt growing from the seed right away since my knowledge level is a solid zero... that's a project for next year. Anyways I ended up finding the plants and ordered them, and the seller turned out to be a Thai family with a greenhouse the next block over from me! What a weird but awesome coincidence, they brought the plants over themselves the next day for me, suggested a good spot in the yard for...

Sawyer · Jan 16, 2016

Okay, time to get started. Last year was not such a good pepper-growing year for me, but it was great in terms of getting a pepper condiment business off the ground. My only two resolutions for 2016 are to keep better condiment production records and follow through on growing large quantities of peppers. To that end, here's the list of varieties I have. I won't grow everything on the list, but plan to grow most of these. Some will only be a plant or two (for fresh seed production), some will be many, many more (for sauces and/or plant sales). The ones marked with a leading (x), I'm out of stock, but am keeping them in the list to remind me I need to replace them (by trade mayhap, hint, hint). Others, I think my stock is no good...
