Coming from 2015

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....

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.

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..

This one was put into a super makeshift hydro setup. Here it is on the 24th February.
By the 10th of march it began to pickup pace.
Here it is today. Growing quick now but also with overall dwarfed leaves.
The other three survivors were a triple plant which I separated on the 14th of this month. Two of them lost a lot of root mass so i decided to top and prune them to lower the transpiration(not 100% sure it...
Hi,
It's my first time growing super hots and also my first time growing indoors. I decided to grow indoors due to the climate in my area and limited grow season. I planted Bhut Jolokia, Carolina Reaper, and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper plants. The seeds were mostly from Pepper Joe's. I started the seeds in a Jiffy peat moss seed started with a heating mat underneath. The seeds sprouted on 12/26/15. The germination rate wasn't that great around 50 - 70% for most of the peppers. I planted 10 douglah seeds but zero sprouted. I plan to post progress pics of this years grow to this glog.
Transplanted to a grow box that has soil suspended above a water reservoir. There is a heater controlling temperature between 70- 85 deg F. I...
After two years or more my other grow log was starting to feel cluttered, so I figured it was time to start fresh. :)
Sadly, of the 60+ plants I had this past year only one (Orange Bhut Jolokia) seems to be semi-alright and one other (Devil's Horns) is just barely hanging on. Between work projects, relationship troubles, and having been sick far too long in the past few months (found out I ended up with Pneumonia - yay..ugh) I just didn't have time to try and fight off the aphids that spread all-too-rapidly across my plants that I had managed to take in from outside. Even one of my oldest plants - a Naga Jolokia that was at least a couple years old - that I had put in the bathroom (I was putting plants wherever I could fit them) ended...

Hi everyone,
The climate here is all year round summer and monsoon. And yes, I've been planing chili plants since end 2014. My first chili plants are red/Choc harbs and choc Douglas, and they are still producing pods for me every week.
For this log, my aim is to identify seeds that I had bought quite sometime ago, which came assorted
Here's the day 1 of the seeds. I plan to soak them for another 24 hours before sowing them in peat pallets.
Hey guys
I did say I was going to complete a log for this grow, however it has been a very hectic winter, and I have a busy spring ahead so the updates will not be as concise as I had hoped they would be, and I am hoping the video can be shared by simply pasting the youtube link.
This is my first time growing super hots, I am extremely excited.
Some quick info - these were all started on Jan 1st, via peat pods in two domes. The domes were heated by placing some heat cord I had from my reptile breeding days, underneath the trays.
These guys are all being fed PureBlend Pro, until their final move when they will be fed a combination of wonderful organic guano and compost teas.
These guys will all be transplanted into those milk/juice...
So I'll start with an explanation of what I have going on at the moment and then catch up on some pics a little bit at a time seeing it takes so long to get them downsized and uploaded.
At the moment I am growing 18 ed bell peppers by the name of "Sprinter" from Johnny's Select Seeds. For Spring/Summer crops I use a drain to waste system with rock wool slabs. The waste water does have a catchment system with pvc I ran underground that drains into a 20gal rubbermaid trash can that I recycle on house plants and potted plants. During the Summer/Fall/Winter crops I use a recycled system with pure perlite. I also only use perlite for all my potted and house plants. The reason for the Drain to Waste during Summer is simply for disease...

Every year I keep saying I'm gonna do one of these. Going to try this year for once.
Started round one this week.
This batch is:
Gary's (Windchicken) Lumbre which is just spectacular red AND green.
Stefan's (meatfreak) Elysium Oxide Bonnet (red and mustard) and Galapagos - Isabela Island Red.
My heating pad is rather tiny so that's all for round one. As soon as these sprout I've got some P.Dreadie Scotch Bonnets and the CGN21500 x Galapagos Red cross from MiChris and a CGN21500 x BBG7. Just realized in typing all this out that I don't have a chocolate and I need a Jalapeno. I'll fix that shortly.
Peace everyone and a Happy 2016!

so the past two years, ive been devastated with something i did not know. it was a plague that consumed my plants late in 2013 and all year in 2014!! this past fall, i had a chance to take a SOIL and PEST MANAGEMENT class and it was here where i learned what i was fighting..
i sent my plants to a lab and from there they diagnosed my issue to be ERIOPHYID MITES.. these guys are MICROSCOPIC (can be seen with 60x loupe)
and have consumed my desire to grow... it was hard to fight something i did not know was even there. now that i do.. i am ready to try again ....

A while back Cmpman1974 started a thread for a SASBE of red MOA bonnets. As one of the lucky individuals that got in on this awesomeness, I figured i'd start a community glog for these babies.

Oh and on an unrelated note, this is my first time creating a glog so if anyone has any suggestions on things I could do differently, don't hesitate to chime in.
