Jalabenjo · Jan 6, 2016

A big that you to stoney's_ghost for sending me the seeds for these peppers free of charge! I'm grateful, and exited to see how they grow. All I have for today is a picture of one of my two sprouts. This is my first time doing a glog so I don't know if I should have waited longer and stockpiled some images, but what the heck, who cares. Oooooooo pretttty :lol:! My Halide was already off when I decided to take the picture so I had to use a flashlight, but it turned out alright anyway. I'll probably do another update when it's got 6 leaves or if something interesting happens like a genetic mutation that causes it to grow eyes and stare at my toenails or something :high: .

This year I started most stuff off under the light ( Hydrofarm FLCDG125D 125-Watt Compact Fluorescent X2). The Ghost peppers are the only ones I bought already growing, everything else from seed. With such few peppers from last year I had barely enough seed to start so I was carefull and only planted a couple each except the Thai, had a nice handful. Grown in Coco Coir, then once re-potted used Neptune Fs118 Fish Seaweed Blend feed on them. While indoors I had a huge Aphid problem and just couldn't get rid of them, soap water, and several organic pesticides tried with no luck, lost a few plants, finally warmed up outside so once they were out the pest problem delt with. The Tepin Chile did not make it (long one in picture), I think I...

Burnzy · Mar 20, 2015

G'day, So Im starting this early (really early), We are in the lead up to winter in Melbourne but preparation should always start early. Fair to say nothing of mine has started yet, let alone finished. It's not my first year growing peppers but it is my first year growing more exotic peppers. My inspiration came from tasting reaper paste. HOLY SH!T Ba!!$ that was hot! But I liked it. Now I cant get enough. Sad but true.... I really want to start this log so I can keep track of updates for myself. I've seen so many awesome logs on here that I kinda feel like I need this to keep it all in one place myself. So it's not about you, it's about me lol. My list as it is: From http://thehippyseedcompany.com/ Efficient dispatch, less...

The_DoGMaN · Aug 27, 2015

I recently built a new room to grow indoors throughout the long Canadian winter. It is 8'x7' and is lit by 2400W of mostly LED lighting. I will be using this to over winter a few of my container plants as well I have started some seeds (Aug 19th). For this winter I will have: red habanero chocolate ghost orange Brazilian starfish aji limon 7 pot Primo yellow 7 pot Jonah 7 pot douglah chocolate habanero big sun habanero naga morich datil X unknown MoA Jamaican scotch bonnet datil 7 pot douglah "red" Possibly more depending on what I decide to bring in. The room is setup for 10 dutch bucket style hydroponic stations though only 2 are currently in use. Temperature is held at 28 deg C from 7pm to 7am then allowed to drop TO 22 deg C...

bigbodybussey · Jul 29, 2012

This will really be more of a showcase of photos from throughout my grow season this year. I wasn't a member of this site when I started this year and obviously didn't have the intention to create any sort of GLOG. So...I'll start by posting the oldest photos from this year and work my way to the present. ENJOY!!! My grow list for this year included: Trinidad Scorp Butch T, Nagabon, Bhut Jolokia, Dorset Naga, (All From Neil at the Hippy Seed Co.), Caribbean Red Habanero, Orange Habanero, Bonda man Jaques, Naga Morich, Thai, Thai Sun, Bird's Eye, Scotch Bonnett, El Tio Chile & Globe chile (won from a facebook contest), and sweet banana for the soon-to-be-wifey. Well, due to less than optimal germination, I started off with roughly...

pa1966stang · Jan 14, 2016

After getting bitten by the hot pepper bug last summer I have decided to expand my grow from jalapenos and habaneros to some real deal hot peppers. The biggest problem I am facing is that our garden will have a full suite of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and squash all fighting for space (more on how that will be resolved later). For starters I am going to let everyone analyze my grow list and provide suggestions for what other varieties I should try. I'd like to add in one or two frutescens just to keep things rounded out. Any ideas of what I should try? The 2016 Grow List Annuums: Aji Peruvian Tomato Pepper Bob's Pickling (pepperlover freebie, I'm not sure what it is, but I guess I will be pickling it) Hot Salsa Cracked Jalapeno ...

Hi guys I'm from Brazil and I love, love peppers, I started my glog with some types among them: Bhut Jolokias red and chocolat TSM yellow and chocolat Arriba Saia Rosa Arriba Saia Vermelha Cayenne I have great difficulty because the weather here does not really help, it rains a lot and barely shines, so the poor things grow slowly, but sprouting and growing healthy, but enough talk and let's go to the pictures Now on the ground =P

GA Growhead · Jul 31, 2015

Welcome to the not so much of a glog, glog. This is really just more of peak into my garden. This season... Long story short, I'm still dealing with back problems, so my beginning of the season wasn't the best. I got hit hard with aphids. Couldn't pot up quick enough and lost a ton of plants/varieties that got no light/air under the bigger plants. Finally got some ladybugs and got the aphids under control. The whole ladybug experience inside was interesting. I will just say that, but they did there job. I never even made a grow list. That's an example of how this season was started. I just planted what I wanted to, over the course of a few nights. The germination went into two classes... what I wanted to grow, which included the...

yazovyet · Mar 12, 2016

I started a small LED set up a whilre ago and havn't posted since. I introduced my set up a little in this post, http://thehotpepper.com/topic/58892-small-led-build/ . Here's a little update. I'd received my seeds on Feb. 1/2 and planted them right away. What didn't occur to me is that I was going away feb 6-13. So I watered them heavily before I left and hoped for the best. When I got back I was happy to see that the reapers, habs, and one of the ghosts had sprouted nicely. what I wasn't happy to see was that the fatalliis were doing terrible. Of the 6 fatalliis planted only 1 came up at all (on the 16th) and it had a seed stuck to the top that would end up killing it. I later decided this was a result of my vacation and...

chsy83 · Feb 24, 2016

After much deliberation, I have sowed seeds for my 2016 grow. Though I usually over do it, last year I only grew one variety, rooster Spurs sent to me from everyone's favorite guru. I decided to only use one 72 cell seed starter. Seeds in 2/20/16: 18 x devil's brain 18 x bih jolokia 6 x rocoto montufar 6 x birgit's locoto 12 x aji limon (Peruvian yellow) 12 x queen Laurie

Thank to kingdenniz I'm growing these cucamelon plants. Hoping they will do well. Can you treat them like peppers? Any info would be helpful.

Argonaught · Jan 7, 2016

Well a little about me : http://thehotpepper.com/topic/58566-greetings-from-sunny-durban-south-africa/ And now the Rules/ Constraints: 1) I want to keep it as low cost as possible - initially. I want to at least make sure I can grow the plants and have fun before I start sinking big bucks into it. 2) I am growing the easy to acquire, cheap peppers first. I want to experiment. 3) I am growing them in an area where there is a lot of wind, a lot of sun and little rain. 3.1) As such I have created a "shelter" for them made of some excess things I had lying around in the garage. The White Table on its side and the old dog basket are removable to allow as much light in as possible. The Grass is terribly dry at this time but It...

rjacobs · Nov 29, 2015

Figured I would start up a GLOG as this will be my first big year. Last year all I did was Carolina Reaper and got 9 plants out of 10 seeds. They took forever to germinate. Started 5 in paper towel/zip lock bag. Nothing happened after 2-3 weeks so moved them into hydro seed starter. Also put 5 into jiffy pellets in a seed starter. Those germinated pretty quickly and eventually the seeds in the hydro seed starter germinated. All 9 of those plants are still alive although my 4 are the biggest. My buddy has 4 and his got mites and he had to trim them to nothing and bomb them with neem, but they are coming back. My other buddy has 1 and he has struggled with it and he grows a lot of Hab's so he knows how to grow peppers. This...

Blister · Nov 30, 2013

I've been away from the forum for some quite some time. Over the last 2.5 years I've been blessed with a son, have had to move to 2 different cities and transfer jobs twice. I really didn't have time or room to grow anything let alone focus on peppers. Now that I'm settled in and have a few extra $ on hand, I've been able to invest in a 180w UV Blackstar LED and have started growing in Coco. Why coco? I've grown in soil before and had decent results. The problem was that my growing season is around 90 days. We don't get the heat or sun needed to grow super hots to their full potential. On top of this soil needs fairly large pots for the plants to really produce a large plant, but again we don't get the heat needed to let the pot dry...

Hello everybody, my first experience started few weeks ago (3rd of December 2015) with 3 seeds of C. chinense Bih Jolokia #1 Assam 2 seeds of Rocoto Esquilino (this name is because I bought some pods at the market called Esquilino here in Rome, C. pubescens) and 2 seeds of C. flexuosum The 3rd of January I put more seeds: 2 x CGN 21500 (C.

crockdoc · Feb 8, 2016

Hey there everybody! So I got stung by the chile bug and this is my first time growing. I finally figured out how to link pics and have a bunch in order starting from about Jan 1st 2016 up until today. I'll try to update weekly or so. I started a 72 cell seed tray with seeds from pepper joes:Thai sun hot, Black jalapeno, Jalapeno early, Firecracker, Joes long(whippets tail), Prik chi faa, Cayenne blend, Santa fe grande, Mammoth(jumbo) jalapeno, Fresno, Brazilian(atomic) starfish, and Kung Pao. I also planted purple jalapenos and Tabasco which didn't sprout. While waiting for those to sprout, I snagged an orange hab from home depot, and a trinidad scorpion and datil from the local garden store. I kept everything under my 300watt...

Umbra · Jan 13, 2016

I recently signed up here because I had one Bhut plant I was trying to keep alive over the winter. Fast forward a few weeks and now I'm in the process of growing ten varieties and possibly up to 72 plants in my bedroom. What could possibly go wrong? This whole thing started with the one plant I'd managed to keep alive through the summer. I didn't provide it with nearly enough sunlight until too late in the season. By the time it was producing peppers it was already going into the fall. There was one orange pepper, so I cut everything but that branch down, stuck it in a pot and brought it in. Months later I realize the pepper is going bad, so I make a thread: ...

The grow begins....pictureless. Because everyone should be able to "minds eye" a picture of dirt. Dirt on the road..... in the back of an FJ for afew days -parking managed by sun light availability.3 days later 1 65 watt halogen to keep em warm. On the tenth day(10 days after germ beganso closer to 2 weeks), I head back to the ranch-metaphorically thinking...or typing-whatever;)! Over watered, because got over dry, sink or swim kids.....if you make it, you will rule! At this point , they're being fed with 2 strip flourescents and a 90 watt grolight. One cat thought , awesome, it is warm, the humans fuss over this spot, so I will sleep here.I gently extricate cat, for it knows not what it does. I assume waking up in the air will get my...

Justaguy · Jan 17, 2015

Coming from 2014 http://thehotpepper.com/topic/45973-justaguys-2014-garden-season So here we go with 2015. I never went for that new job because this job has changed in good ways. Last August Amy was in an accident when a young kid pulled out in front of her truck. The insurance company totaled her truck and the kids car was totaled on impact. He came out of it with a fine and she had a bad whiplash that blew the disc between C5 and C6. Monday she goes under the knife to have them fused. Had the disc gone out her stubborn self would deal with pain, but it is pressing right on her spinal cord so surgery is needed. Now on to the start of the 2015 season. On January 5th I put seeds in the germination tray And this morning we woke up at...

Coup · Feb 17, 2016

Ayy ladies and germs. I'm trying out the Mars Hydro 300W LED grow lights, and to see how they stack up against my HPS I am growing them apart from the bunch while the HPS goes to work. I can't afford to keep running it, as the days are getting hotter and hotter and making it difficult to dissipate the heat. If the LED system works and keeps the suckers growing I will merge them over completely. Here are the test plants, between 12-16" from the light (recommended). I'll be testing for a week or two to see if there are any adverse effects. If not, the operation is going LED full time!

So I have been putting off starting this blog for far too long! So I was recently added to the Community Garden, and was even fortunate enough to grab 2 full plots!!! This is on top of the containers I have going on my front porch, and I am super pumped!!! So far I am running somewhat behind on getting my peppers started, so I might end up purchasing (oh no!) some nursery peppers, at the recommendation from TXCG! Fair warning our plots are side by side, so chances are you will see us back and forth quite a bit on the same subjects! So without further delay, Here is a photo dump of everything that has happened these last few months! I will post updated pictures this weekend of how everything looks right now! Habanero, second...

stickman · Jan 28, 2015

Hi All! It's been an incredibly busy winter dealing with one thing and another, and it's only about half over here. :rolleyes: Still, it's time to get on the stick and put my seeds in the dirt in preparation for plant-out in another 12 weeks or so. I have a Manzano over-wintering inside that's going on its third year. It's next to a sliding glass door with a great southern exposure but the light it gets here this time of year is pretty paltry... I expect it'll start to perk up sometime in March. I have a couple of MoA Scotch Bonnets over-wintering at a friend's house because there wasn't space in front of the sliding glass door for them and my wife's indoor plants... the deal is that if they both survive the winter, we'll split the...

Tonystarks1311 · Feb 2, 2016

Hey everyone, I am a noob at this, I was basically having a go to see if I can get some seeds to shoot. It's very late in the season here so I thought I'd see if I can get my technique right in preparation for next summer. 2 Dorset Nagas and 2 Birdseyes. 15 days in and 2 Dorset Nagas have shot, but one broke in half unfortunately. The 2nd one is alive and well. Can I put it in a bigger pot and place it outside immediately? It's in a jiffy pod. Knowing Melbourne we still have 2 months of 30 degree weather so I'll see what happens. I'll add some photos when I'm on my computer. Cheers

turbo · Jan 5, 2016

State of the Garden Address (2015 / 2016) In 2015 I decided to experiment with a bunch of new peppers I’d never tried before. Some I liked and some I won’t be growing again. About half the plants I grew were staple ones that I grow every year. Here is a breakdown of my thoughts on each from last year. Staples MOA - had great success this year and really like the flavor and shape of this pepper Caribbean Red Habanero - good yields, great flavor. Yellow Fatalii - my 4th year growing fatalii. Its my hot sauce workhorse pepper Aji Lemon - another staple pepper. 3rd year growing it Congo Trinidad - 3rd year growing this one. Love that Trinidad flavor. Trinidad Scotch Bonnet - 3rd year growing this one. Huge, huge pods! First Time -...

Well I'm finally getting started for 2016. This year I'm going back and growing out some old seeds. Hopefully I get at least one germination from each variety. That and a few that I'm repeating from last year and a few years past. Soaking the seeds overnight.

Kuban Hot Peppers · Feb 2, 2016

Hello! I'm new on this forum, so please do not judge me harshly. I am from Russia, Kuban region, Krasnodar City (Olympic Games in Sochi in 2015 remember? From Sochi to Krasnodar 182 miles). Since English is not my native language, I will communicate with you through an interpreter, so please turn a blind eye to various shortcomings. Peppers started in 2015, there were a few bushes of local peppers, the names of which you probably will not say anything, the only thing I can say they were Capsicum Annuum, as well as a bush Bhut Jolokia Pumpy. In the new 2016, I swung at more interesting varieties not typical for my country. Here is a list of peppers, which I have chosen: Cheiro Roxa Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Brown Black Naga Carolina...

rghm1u20 · Feb 8, 2016

Yes, it is right, 2017. Why 2017? Because I want to be the first to start the 2017 glog! Any prize??? Joking! :) In fact I want to have an earlier start, and try to cut back my grow. To work a bit to my addiction. Probably 2016 will be the same as 2014 and 2015, with a large (TOO LARGE) variety of peppers on a too small garden. Which also means mostly only 1 or 2 plants per variety. Sometime that one plant produce only few pods. Which means can't do much with them, and not many seeds. Can't enjoy in those peppers, can't share seeds. Can't make powder out of 2 pods. So, the idea is to add a variety only if I can find a strong reason to grow it. Reasons like "why not?" or "let's try this too" are no more allowed. I hope to grow less...

Mnemosynesis · Jan 23, 2016

Mnemosynesis 2016 Hello everyone, I’m back again this year after a failed attempt at maintaining a log last season. Between work, camping, and growing I had a hard time maintaining my log and remembering to do so. I hope to change that this year. I’ve made numerous changes to my setup this season. I’ve ditched the CFL cage I had last year, and instead opted to go with a 4 bulb T8 system mounted to the ceiling with adjustable chains. I was able to sell my CFL bulbs and such to a friend that I got into growing, and it was able to completely subsidize the T8 setup which was surprisingly cheap. After growing hot peppers for the first time last year I realized that my palate can’t necessarily handle the heat of the super hots quite...

Phearis · Nov 20, 2015

I figure since it's producing, might as well post about it. This is my 3yo Hot Paper Lantern. Last year it exploded with peppers but this year there was nothing, until about a month ago. I was going to Winter it again but noticed it had flower buds, so I got a grow lamp and brought it into work. This is the results. The larger peppers are growing about 4 to 5mm per day.
