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.   Growing media is a full mix... trying everything from coir / rockwool / jiffy pellets.   Hopefully the names are okay... hard to read some peoples scribble :D   VARIETY...
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...
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 am happy to finally be part of this group, I am growing 17 pepper plants this season and this will be the most plants I have ever grown at one time. All the seedlings are started in my homemade grow box and will later be put outside. I have a youtube channel I post weekly updates on in case you want to watch some of my videos here is a link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMo2R_BqaO6ujY5FhQKyYNQ/videos?shelf_id=0&view=0&sort=dd    Grow List:   White Fatalii Yellow Fatalli Cgn 21500 7JPN Black Scorpion Tongue Tabasco Trinidad Scorpion X Congo Brown Peach Bhut Primo Aji Pineapple Aji Lemon Tepin X Lemon Drop Trinidad Scorpion Cardi Chocolate Habanero MOA Scotch Bonnet
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.  I got: 3 Ubatuba Cambuci 2 Trinidad Perfume 1 Peach Bhut Jolokia 1 Hot Thai Dragon 1 Big Jim 1 Habanero Magnum 2 Habanero Burkina Yellow 1 Demon Red 2 Habanero Paper Lanten 1 Scotch Bonnet Big Sun Well after a...
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...
 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. They say to fry the squash for a nice snack.      White eggplants ready to transplant into the ground.        Blueberry bush 1st year.     Mammoth Russian sunflowers...
Hello everyone, this is my first Glog on this forum :) This year i'll be growing: -Lemon drop -Brazilian starfish -naga morich -fatalii -Red rocoto -7pod brain strain - 1 overwinter trinidad douglah -1 overwinter 7pod jonah -SB7J, soon to arrive in the post, i hope -Aji amarillo -ancho grande  I currently cannot post any pictures yet since my smartphone is getting repaired, but i'll update with pictures once i get it back. So i started my seed 2 weeks ago more or less, some have already grown a bit, and they are currently under a 125 watt CFL growing lamp in my basement. I'll grow half of my crop in pots at my own house, and i'll use my grandfathers greenhouse and land as well, when the weather allows it. I'll probably add some other...
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. These seeds was purchased from a German hardware store named OBI. I put seeds in wet napkins which I then placed inside airtight ziplock bags.   Purchased these type seeds: 'Apache' Capsicum annuum 80.000 SHU   'Fiesta Cayenne Mix' Capsicum annuum 15.000-30.000 SHU red, yellow, purple and green fruits   'Habanero Mix' Capsicum annuum  500.000 SHU red, yellow, orange and green fruits   'Naga Morich'...
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...
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...
Well, so far I got knocked down, but not knocked out so time to do a 2016 grow log. :)  My pepper count is much smaller than previous years as I couldn't start nearly as many and had no idea how things were going to go this season.  I still plan on enjoying what I can and am thankful my wife and daughter were able to plant some stuff for me.  I can't put my hands in dirt after the bone marrow transplant for some time unfortunately.  Fungal infections are always a big concern.  I still am having fun watching the plants and watering when I can.   A few flower photos so far....   CP 5641 - Front by cmpman 1974, on Flickr   CO 5641 - Back by cmpman 1974, on Flickr   CMPCR010 F1 by cmpman 1974, on Flickr   CMPCR044 F1 - Front #2 by cmpman...
Hi Folks,   I am based in Townsville North Queensland Australia (a hot tropical area) and have started my second growing season.  This year I will mainly be growing my plants in hydroponics.  I made many mistakes in my first year and have learnt alot along the way.   I have been watching alot of youtube videos on hydroponics, in particular MHPGardner, hoping my build will turn out pretty good.     This is a link to our local chilli group, "Chilli Growers of Queensland".  Please feel free to join us, we are open to anyone from any location:         This is a link to my Onedrive Gallery, shows you progress photos of all plants from this season: (also includes 1st season in 2015)         Here is a list of Strains I am growing:      ...

March 8, 2016 - Post 1 for austin87's grow log 2016 Hey pepper heads! I'm pretty new to the forum but posted some basic info about me in the introduction section, and then asked some questions for answers, but I'm ready start my grow log here. I would love have support, criticism, ideas... Really anything to help learn. Here goes my setup: I've got a 2'x4' T5 fixture with 6500k bulbs and a heating mat under the tray. I have two cups of each variety, with 2 seeds per cup, for a total of 4 seeds for the following varieties: Red/Yellow/Orange Scotch Bonnet Chocolate Bhutlah Cayenne Jalapeño Poblano/Ancho BBG7 Yellow* Red Moruga* Wartryx* *acquired in a trade On the way I have Bahamian Goat Cascabel Shishito Carolina Reaper I...
New year, new plants, new glog!   At the end of the 2014 growing season, I brought almost all my plants into my basement for some extra ripening time. I started saving seeds (and sowing a few) and freezing pods.  I also intended to more thouroughly prepare overwinters of my now big plants; as opposed to last year when I relied more on luck and the availabilty of some nice sunlit locations.   However I got busy and, in the blink of an aphid's eye, it was almost December!  Meanwhile most of plants had been suffering in a very cold and dim basement.  As of now, it looks like 2015 will be more of a reboot-from-seed-type of year as most of my mature plants are looking far from pretty.  In addition, I want to grow enough F2s of a few crosses...
ThePepperGrowingMan's 2010 Grow Log Put the seeds in the dirt today. Trying to get a total of about 30 plants across 9 types. Ordered all my seeds from pepperjoe.com this year. Assuming some will die. Here's the list: Hot Banana Long Red Slim Charleston Hot Turkish Cayenne Hot Caribbean Atomic Starfish Tabago Seasoning Giant Jolokia Scotch Bonnet Here's where they will live (hopefully) over the next few months: The larger plants on the right are my overwintered Jolokias. Grow On!
First time I have posted on this fantastic forum but not my first visit. I found this site quite a while ago looking for pest information and downright got glued to it. I love seeing others progress and using tips and tricks they provide. most times I just want to see some hot pepper plants....   I grow and live in MD and have had some quite successful years recently so I can no longer selfishly linger around this site without providing some of this home grown hot pepper delight.   I have battled aphids, thrips (this year has been the worst), fungal infections, bacterial, and everything else humid MD has to offer.   So here the GLOG goes. worst germination rates ever this year. I got creative and messed up and cooked the seeds...
This is my first year starting seedlings under lights in the winter and glogging lol. In the first pick the row on the right is my Scotch Bonnet MOA's and the next row is my Bahamian Goats which are two of this years most anticipated plants I'm growing. The other has a 7 Pot Burgundy that has sprouted and it looking good with a Aji Lemon just starting to come out. the others are various tomatoes towards the top. The others that haven't sprouted yet are various chocolates and Aji's. 
This year I've started a whole bunch of seedlings about mid June, then some more in July and August: Reaper Choc Brazilian Ghost Red Moruga 7 Pod Douglah Peach 7 Pod Devil's Heart Devil's Brain Peach Hab Defcon 7 7 Pod Primo Dorset Naga Aji Pineapple Aji Habanero Aji Verde Hot Beads Also growing out a couple of hybrids, and have my own F1 hybrid plant that I'm hoping to get some pods off.   All up there are about 80 seedlings, have put aside about 30 plants to sell at my daughter's school fundraiser, so the rest will be planted out.   Have just brought 700L (185 u.s. gallons) of potting mix (50% potting mix, 40% large pumice sand, 10% chicken manure), also have about 10 more 50L growbags from last year, so plenty of space to plant...
I debated whether I was doing a glog this year. I guess I am.       The few pubes and chinense I wanted to grow had germination issues. I ended up with a few orange rocotos and a few MOA plants. That was all. I'll pick up a couple of supers at the nursery this spring. I don't need much, the freezer is still full.....   A couple varieties of cayanne, a few types of jalapeno, poblano, Brazilian starfish, bishop's crown, and several others that I forget round out the hot peppers.           Tomatoes in the forground. Since I took this pic a couple weeks ago the tomatoes have all been transplanted. I'm heading into the year with 15 tomato plants. 3 varieties.         Onions and sweet peppers here.       Update on the puppy too.    ...
