I started out think I would grow a few Reapers and couple Moruga Scorpions. Then this happened:
Toms
1 Jellybean
2 White Bianca
2 Black Zebra
3 Hayley's Purple Comet
Peppers
4 White Habanero
3 Bhut Jolokia
3 Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
2 Red Scotch Bonnet
2 Carolina Reaper
2 Satan's Kiss
3 Fresno Red
2 Chi Chein
2 Jwala
2 Anaheim
All raised from seed starting in January on an indoor grow. I had 70+ plants at first, but gave some starters to friends and family, and sold a dozen of them to Grocery Cafe, a Burmese restaurant opening in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. (and lost a few, of course) All organic. They were hardened and potted up, then into the raised wicking beds. A blend of turkey compost with clean topsoil...

I have been planting in waves. First waves back in December, then it seems like every week since then. Just set some to germinate last week in some snazzy dollar store containers and the last plant will be on February 15th for the growdown throwdown (have to wait that day, or my wife will kill me if I do it on Valentine’s day).
The first...
Welp you guys made me do it. Some of these varieties are of 4 year old seed. Wish me luck! I have many varieties that i started that I couldnt get again and they will be overwintered. I'll be purchasing plants for the garden tomorrow. Hoping some of these germinate so I don't have to hunt for these again.
Letting them soak in this for the night. 1 teaspoon seaweed fertilizer for every 1 cup of water
And here are the varieties that i am too lazy to type out. I don't have any seed left of many of them and i hope some of them grow because I wont be able to get more of some of these very easily.
Hi All. I created my account here last fall when I was collecting ideas for what to grow this year after catching the hot pepper addiction and this is my first grow log. I live in the Portland, Oregon area and have gardened most of my life. Last year I had jalapeno, habanero, poblano, ghost pepper, green/yellow/red bells and tomatoes grown from nursery/Home Depot starts. The peppers did amazing in the relatively hot summer we had. I've never had much luck starting much from seed but I practiced with some seeds from a bell pepper and think I have it down. Wish me luck!
Peppers (I'm probably forgetting some):
7 Pot Bubblegum
7 Pot Burgandy
7 Pot Primo
Aji Dulce
Aji Fantasy
Aji Lemon Drop

Ok, new GLOG is up :dance:
Grow list updated ...
Main focus here is on my work with crosses. So first a list of what I managed to cross this far, and a status:
HAJ12D, Chocolate Habanero X GRIF 9293. Wanted to make a medium hot chocolate chinense. Had 12 F2s, and 4 F3s from the best F2. But have since realised that medium chinense's are hard to come by. Either they are hot, or they are not !
Current status: No further growing of this cross.
HAJ13A, Aji Lemon Drop X Choclate Habanero. This was most for the fun of it, but if I could get a choclate coloured aji, it would be great. F1 is really good, but have had next to no luck with F2s. Will try some more this season.
2015: Back crossed with Aji Lemon Drop, HAJ13A XB.
Current status...
So I've been aching to do one of these since I joined. This is my third season growing peppers, it is incredible how much I've learned thanks to you guys :D It won't be the best of glogs, but it is my glog :D
I'm going with 25 plants for production and 12 decorative. Most probably the numbers will shrink as the season progresses ahahah
Hello everyone, I am new to gardening so any tips or recommendations are appreciated :) I tried gardening on two separate occasions, a feweek years back and last year in 2015. I did not know a lot about what I was doing so all plants ended up dying for over fertilization, over-watering, not enough sun, ect. Thankfully, I have learned from my mistakes this year and my plants are doing much better. The plants are really close to one another and I realize that rampant disease can easily break out. I plan on transplanting them soon. I would buy a few more pots but I do not have money to do so at the moment. I have an extra much smaller pot but it was too easily overrun by pests.
This season, I will grow Orange Habaneros, Pepper Caribbean...
I have been going since the 14th of Feb, but have not really posted any progress, so here is a bit of catch up on my grow this year.
I started all of my seeds in a 12 hour soak in a KNO3 mixture.
The seeds were all transferred to 2oz condiment cups. I placed a cotton makeup pad in the bottom, and sprayed in a little water.
After that they went in to a DIY Incubator. This is simply a storage bin with a 4" hole cut in the lid, with the top of a dehydrator placed on top. The dehydrator was hooked up to a temperature controller that was set to 87F. The temperature probe was also placed in a condiment cup, and sandwiched between 2 wet cotton pads.
After they popped, they went into 48 cell 1020 trays. Each 48 cell tray is...

2016 started really cold, but I still planted a few seeds in the hope that this would be The Big Season.
It is now the middle of April, night temperatures are in the high 40s F or about 10 C, which is very borderline for the chillies. I have thrown caution to the wind and am bit by bit putting my very small seedlings outside, come what may. This is because (drum roll) I will be purchasing a LED light, and say buhbye to soil.
My indoor hydro grow list currently consist of:
1 Tri-cot Reaper
1 Yellow habanero
4 Datils
6 Takanotsumes / Hawk's Claw
Some C7, Quintisho, Fatalii and mixed habaneros are being germinated. For the moment, theReaper and Datils etc. are just tiny seedlings with seed leaves. Once there is more to see, I will...
Hello Everyone,
I will post some photos here of my grow of Jason's crosses. Got a late start in late Feb. 25 plants total.
I will list the names here eventually. As always there will be additional nature photos.
Thanks for lookin!

Hi folks,
Well, here goes. I tried my hand, for the first time last year at growing chillies as me and the missus had just bought a new house in London, and it had a beautiful South-facing garden. I naturally tried to grow way too many things (not necessarily chillies) and inevitably, due to a hectic lifestyle, couldn’t look after everything, so tomatoes, broccoli, and various other plants were “ok” but never really looked after or yielded enough.
So this year, it’s chillies and chillies alone, in pots, with the addition of French marigolds to ward off greenfly… more on that in a moment.
I had my Carolina Reapers, Pink Tigers, Trinidad Scorpions, Caynnes and Tabascos all germinated by January and was REALLY thinking myself pretty cool...
Behold here by I present you my glog!
It is kinda ghetto OG-log guys if you frequent the chat chances are you seen these pictures already if not hold your pants.
I have planted various peppers and few tomatoes that I will list later on in this topic or you can just read them from the labels on the pictures.
So lets begin with the soil, i have two bags of different soil at hand one from last season..
Bag numero uno,
very aerated light soil for plants that have problems rooting and some mycelium in it, drains like a mofo and can barely keep any moisture in it
second one that is potting soil rich will all of that sweet sweet nutritional value
Next i did 50/50 mix and started filling up the seedling trays.

Thought I'd share some pictures of my Chillies so far. The start to my season wasn't a great one, but thankfully I got it all sorted out without loosing any plants. They're over a month behind where they should be, but they are doing very well now.

Well at the poking and prodding of some folks here, I am doing my first grow log.
This will be me, out of sheer laziness, moving away from grow beds and starting from seeds, to moving to pure use of grow pouches. A mixture of 7 gallon and 5 gallon pots. I am moving the old soil from the beds, mixing with fresh soil and potting up about 18 plants right now. I will also be ordering more plants.
This year I decided to test out www.chileplants.com after hearing some good things from TXCG and Guatemalan Insanity Pepper. So I placed my order in January with the following list:
7 Pot Douglah
Aji Omnicolor
Bishops Crown
Brain Strain Red
California Wonder Red
California Wonder Golden

Hi ppl,
So, this is the Growing Log for my peppers! I've recently grown in interest on nuclear hot peppers so I decided to grow my own!
I bought a pack of seeds from an online retailer here with 40+ seeds, 10 of each of these kinds:
Bhut Jolokia
Carolina Reaper
Trinidad Scorpion by Butch Taylor
Trinidad Morouga Scorpion (don't really know if morouga or moruga I've seen both)
So I started preparing the 'nursery' over a cement mixing tray filled with brittle to support the seed starter. Then I planted the seeds each kind on two 5 units columns as it can be seen on the pictures:
Peppers as of: february 28th/2016
First seed to ripe: march 11th/2016 (day 12)
First babies: march 13th/2016 (day 14)

Coming from 2015
http://thehotpepper.com/topic/52698-justaguys-2015-garden-season/
Yay I am now a first shifter. m-th 5a-3p officially but most weeks I work 5-5 m-f. Tis life.
I have found that I no longer can seem to germinate seeds for some unknown reason. I am on my second attempt and almost out of seeds for what I need to have. The first attempt popped some and they all had helmets and died. This year could get very ugly, but this week coming up or next weekend I will be going back to basics with wet paper towels.
Just wanted to get this started for keeping a continual record of wins and loses.
Hello Forum!
This is my first season growing peppers. I have 8 plants under 200W CFL.
I plan to keep them small and maybe move some of them to the windowsil when there's more sun.
I top the plants and do some training. Aesthetics matter.
Here's what I got:
1. "Paprika". Seeds from a noname supermarket pod, that wasn't very hot. There's a few pods
and the new flowers keep falling off, which is normal, right?
2. "Thai". Seeds from small dried pods. I'm hoping to find out exactly what it is after there are some ripe pods.
Topped more than once, quite bushy, no fruits yet.
3. "Cayenne" Or something similar, maybe smaller. Very tasty. Seeds from a noname supermarket pod.
4. "P.Small" The last...
A bit of background.....
I make chilli jam and had been buying the super expensive here in Aus Coles Carolina Reaper pods to add to spice up the habanero base. I collected seeds from various pods to try my hand at growing them when time permitted.
Started late after noticing in Masters (local hardware/garden supplies store) the Chilli Factory "Pot n All" range.
Grabbed a TS Cardi Yellow as I had a spot in the garden it could go. Mentioned it to a few other chilli heads at work (a bunch of us bring in various sauces etc to try) and they also visited their local stores.
One store had Carolina Reapers, so I grabbed 2 of them and also added to the garden.
Since that time I found here :dance: and have been catching the bug. None of the...

Hey all,
So i have followed other peoples glogs but never got around to doing one so i decided this is the year. I think this is my 3rd year growing from seed and i have really enjoyed the ride and all of the help i have gotten here on THP. I figured the least i can do is do a glog and maybe it will help some people, and i am sure i will get help from people along the way. I am not saying i will be the best at doing a lot of new pictures and updates, but i will certainly try to as often as possible. I am trying a new setup this year. The past couple of years i used a card table and had a pvc light stand with a couple of t8 double lights and using 1020 trays. That took up a lot of space and wasn't very good on the back. This year i...
Good day, fellow pepperheads!
My name is Gabriel, 23 yo from Romania, first year serious grower
Been reading this awesome forum for about a year or so, this is the first time i've decided to go a step beyond and show you in return, what i am growing.
I think this glog will be a bit different, since i am only growing indoor (tried outdoor, failed miserably) in a not so sunny balcony; i don't have more than 1-2 hours of direct sunlight a day
Tried to grow flowers, but didn't find that very interesting nor rewarding. Peppers on the other hand... man, you got all that amazing colours and shapes... it's mindblowing! Chocolate habs, purple tigers, bishops crown etc. are trully wonders. Edible wonders!
Anyways, will post more chit-chat...

It's that time of year again. I started a few weeks back and am more than happy with the progress so far. I have only planted pubescens so far, as I am hoping for a very long season from them.
Probably sow some Chinense in a week or so and the Baccatums in February.
Most have looped, with good germination rates. I have started to pot on now.
I am aiming to grow out as many different pubescens as possible, so if you have any info on rare ones, please post or pm me. Cheers.
Happy Christmas everyone.
Hi all,
2016 is off to a little bit of a late start. This is my second year growing peppers and I feel like I've stepped up my game quite a bit. I'm starting out with a few 78-cell trays with a variety of peppers. I'm using rockwool cubes to germinate and will use Dyna-Gro Foliage when they start to show some leaves. After these guys get large enough I will transfer them to cups. I've got a 10ft x 20ft plot out back where a lot of these will end up. Unfortunately, I can't take over the entire garden and have to share some space for tomatoes, watermelons, herbs, and other veggies. Some peppers will probably remain indoor plants. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with potentially 100s of plants indoors. This is what...
Hello and thank you for viewing! This is my first season in miami fl focusing on peppers. Last season was my first ever grow in general and I seem to have a green thumb when it comes to a lot of plants, but peppers seem to be different. I use self watering containers which you can see in the first picture of my yellow scotch bonnet + ? pepper. These boxes save me when it comes to watering everything especially tomatoes, but peppers I think are different since they need the soil to dry out right? Anyways, my ignorant self is very open to any guidance and opinions on what I should be doing.
So here's two pics of my yellow scotch bonnet that I bought last year and a pepper plant which I thought was a bhut when I started it but it's...
So I found this florescent setup in my garage, and thought "hey, I can use this"! Using an unused bookshelf, I put some foil around the sides, fashioned the light to the top, and here is the result. I have a blackout curtain covering the front...don't really know what to do there. Carrots, tomatoes, okra, and some starting kit tomatoes and habaneros.Honestly, I think it'd be cool to do all the shelves.
Hello!
This is my first attempt at growing peppers. However, in full disclosure I cheated a bit by avoiding the germination step and ordering twelve 6" tall plants from chileplants.com.
Types:
1 @ 7 Pot Yellow
2 @ Bhut Jolokia
1 @ Thick Cayenne
1 @ Fatalii
1 @ Chocolate Habanero
1 @ Lady Bell Hybrid
1 @ New Mexico 64
1 @ Serrano Del Sol Hybrid
1 @ Carolina Reaper
1 @ Szechuan
1 @ Thai Red
The plants were well packaged and arrived in small 2" x 2" x 3" plastic pots. I let them rest near a shaded window in a cool (65 degree) spot in my basement for about 3 days.
After the three days I transplanted them into 6 inch pots with a 50/50 mix of Hoffman's Organic Cactus and Succulent mix and perlite. The pots have several holes in the...
Hi Guys,
My season is almost over, and it's been a busy one. I didn't really have a chance to post a glog, but I was taking photos throughout the season, so I'd thought I post a photo summary for the record (and mine)....Plus this forum has given me a lot so I thought I'd give something back and I'm very interested in peoples comments and suggestions for improvements for next season....

I have wanted a garden for awhile now. So Sept. 2013 I picked out a spot and started working on my spot. All the rest is history.
My grow list... Since I was skeptical about starting seeds I ordered plants. Hopefully I will start everything myself next year.

And my soil test....

Started the seeds in the soil mix last Thursday. Today the first one came up, an Italian sweet pepper, and the lights are now on.
I've had great success with this setup before, hoping for more success this year. But I've also failed miserably... hopefully I learned my lessons. Wish the peppers luck!

Well, I guess this is as good a time as any to start this.
When I first joined this forum I had a grow list that included only 5 types of peppers. It now sits at 25 and may yet get bigger before I actually get them in the ground.
Finally got everything sown that I am growing this year. I am sure there will be a few added as the year progresses, but for now I have edited the list for what is actually planted or already growing.
Updated 2/23/16 all OW numbers are correct, surviving this years plants in this color .
I do have grow down seeds on towels, and a few plants I plan to add as plants.

I am going to start this glog to help keep track of what is going on. I always lose my notes and forget what I am growing. I haven't finalized my grow list yet..
