Today launches The Pacific Northwest GLOG 2015, geared towards growers from this region. Since there appears to be disagreement on what states, and areas, actually comprise the Pacific Northwest, I will use a broad definition, in order to include more growers. If anyone thinks the definition could be even more broad, it can always be changed. Come one, come all.

I am from the Rogue Valley, in southern Oregon, so, I will begin with a couple of shots from my yard, which over looks the Rogue River.
It's still December 2014, but I've been busy putting together my grow list for the 2015 PNW season. My seeds will be planted around the second to...
Well, here's to another year. I wanted to downsize from last year, and ended up practically doubling everything. Started germinating on Jan 22 using paper towel method. Tried 2 ways, one in cups with the seeds on top, other the way I have always done with the seeds in paper towel in ziploc. Both have worked, but the paper towel in ziploc seems faster, maybe better temp control there. So far have about 55 seeds in dirt after 11 days with many of them already popped up and looking happy.
Almost an embarrassing setup compared to many I see on here, but it worked great 10 years ago, and still worked fine last year so I figure no need to change yet.
Will need another rack of lights this year for the increase in volume I have.
Grow...
Not really a Glog in the true sense of the word ... just wanted to keep a bit of a record of what grew and what I did with it.
9 Dec 15
First proper pick of the season.
Took 60 green Cayennes off the one bush mainly because a few were getting a bit of mould when touching the soil and I wanted to free up some energy for the plant to grow new ones.
(this was about half of one 30cm high plant)
Weather's no good at the moment, can't dry them in the window as normal so made a sauce.
60 Chillies
1/2 Cup cheap white vinegar
1/2 tsp seas salt
Whizz up in blender.
Ended up sticking it in a saucepan for 10 mins just to soften the chillis up before adding couple TBSP Olive Oil and blending again just to make it smoother.
End result...
Intro
Besides just fun this year I hope to sell enough to make this hobby pay for itself. If you see something you like I will probably be selling plants or pods at some point in the year, check my website.
I really would like to do hydro dutch buckets in a poly tunnel but don't have enough money/space this year. My dad offered me his small garden plot in the his backyard across town it's about 400+ ft2 so that will be the main grow for 2015 instead of pots like last year(although i'll have a few still).

I've started germinating a few seeds for 2015. I'm using the wet paper towel in sandwich bag method for the first time. For each seed type, I soaked the seeds in 3% hydrogen peroxide for one minute, then rinsed before putting on the paper towel. I've got all the bags in a plastic box, sitting on a germination heat mat. I put a half plastic egg carton on the bottom so they won't get too hot.
It looks like a few of the seeds have something white poking out. These are ajijoes Chocolate Hand Grenade Habanero and Pepperlover's Mustard Moruga Scorpion.
I started them on 12/19. I'm going to move any germinated seeds to cups containing Fox Farms Light Warrior. This will be the first time using this as well.
Here's my...
It's been a while since I've been on here. Well. I'm back, same tent, but this time, with hydro! I'm running a 25 gallon DWC setup, with clones and a mother. I'd use HPS if I had one, but I hope that MH will do fine. The growth rates in hydro have been outstanding, and I'm excited to see what the yield may be.
The mother. Stands at nearly 2 feet tall now, and clipped numerous times for clones/topping off. I can count at least 2 dozen flowers on her right now!
I hope the density of plants will not be too detrimental. The clones stand at a few inches, to give a comparison.
What is the aim of growing so many superhots, you may ask? To make a hot sauce that could be an analog of thermite! I'm going to name it... "Master Wong's...
Hello everyone, yes it's a tad early and I am not going to start anything yet, but soon as I have found it gets cold pretty fast in northern Arizona. I hope next year goes better than this past year, I didn't start anything early enough and ended up having to buy plants. Out of the 10 plants I got, 1 lived and that was a bust too. So I am OW-ing that one, it's a peach bhut. Here is my very small list. It is going to expand pretty soon as I hopped on Scorched seed train round 3, I am very excited for that.
Jonah
Coral Reef(no idea what that is)
Zimbabwe Bird
Chocolate Brain strain
Aji Lemon Drop
Peach Ghost Scorpion
Have a good day everyone.
Hello everyone (if anyone is even reading :) ). I know I've started this a little late but I finally decided to get around to it. This is my very first year starting from seed and my first year with such a large grow. Over the past 15 years or so I've always ordered seedlings from CCN or gotten them from a nursery and only ever around 40 plants at the most. It was always jalapenos or habaneros until the Red Savina came along. I actually did grow 10 of those from seed when they were released. A few years later the ghost chile made its debut and things have just exploded since then. That was when I went from growing maybe a dozen plants to 30 or 40 each year. Have No complaints with CCN and always had a great experience and great plants...
Edit 03/09/15 - This OP was such a mess with multiple lists, Old Seed, New Seed, Saved Seed, Gifted Seed, etc., I'm redoing almost the whole post. All of the lists have been merged into a single mega-list. I am actually trying to grow at least two or three plants of almost everything on this list. For those marked with a leading (x), I am currently out of stock of seed (though may have OW plants). Those marked with a leading "*" are not currently planned to be grown in 2015. Trailing numbers refer to the seed source, keyed at the bottom of the list. The sourcing information is currently incomplete. Many varieties I had linked to descriptions, but the formatting didn't survive the copy/paste. I'll try to fix that at some point. ...
Hey Guys,
I have started early this year... Real early hahah
I already have over 60 plants started, not included my 16 or so over wintered.
I finished my move from Germany to Kansas and as of now, I am starting my own plants. The over winters were gifts from Jimmy. I am glad to be back to growing and really ready to hunker down and have an amazing year, I am planning on anywhere from 200-350 plants, but we all know how that goes. Hahaha
Enough about that, and more about Chillies!
I don't have a set plan as far as varieties go. I just kinda dig in my seed drawer and pick a few to throw in every time a couple spaces open up. So far I have
Cap 1144 x3
CGN 19198 x1
C. Galapagoense x1
C. Rhomboideum x1
C. Spp. x3
CGN 24360 x1
GRIF 9238 x1...
so yeah, hey everybody... I just couldn't wait anymore
put some seeds in the dirt and we're good to go
me and my brother in law built this new "grow-box"
I'm gonna put a fan or two in those holes .... to keep the humidity down when the box is going to be closed
this is how it looks now.... in my bedroom ... the wife said something about someone who's a little crazy but I don't know who she's talking about :rolleyes:

Sprouting Setup Overview. I’m using a 2ft 2bulb T5HO shop light with a pair of 14 watt Warm White bulbs. I’m considering picking up another one of those lights to match so that I have a total of 56 watts to make strong seedlings with heavy-duty stems.

Hi all, thanks for watching. Will be keeping a small glog this year to share progress with my friends. I've started my grow on 26th of January, everything has popped by now and true leaves are being formed. Like every year I will be growing multiple "new" Jalapeno's I've collected so far, about 21. The rest of my grow will exist mostly out of crosses I made previous season and new crosses/phenotypes from friends. Goal was to keep the amount of plants limited because I want more time on my hands for of course family and to grow other veggies to.
I hadn't had enough time to sit down and actually get this going but i figured better late than never. I also want a way to document my season so if anything i can go back to reference good and bad things that happen.
I'll start with the grow list in no particular order:
Caribbean Red Hab (overwinter)
Jalapeno x Pepperoncini
Early Jalapeno
Purple Jalapeno
Carolina Reaper
Aji Pinapple
Aji Mango
Aji Limon
Chocolate Hab
Chocolate Bhut
Red Bhut
Large Red Bhut
Big Sun Hab
Unknown Brazilian
White Hab
Hot Lemon

Sweet Cherry
Yellow Fatallii
Yellow Scotch Bonnet
MOA Scotch Bonnet

BIG SUN HABANERO 25 seeds, not one germinated. However, the vendor gave me 8 starter plugs for free to make up fo it. Unfortunately, none were the Big Sun. I found another vendor that had Big Sun (or Yellow Sun, as they called it)...
First, let me preface everything by saying this is my first year growing peppers and I've learned a TON from this community and everyone's contributions. I've been lurking and reading on this site since May and finally decided to register and post.
I started with a 'can' of Carolina Reapers I bought from a retail store in Tennessee (the novelty little can that you pop open, pour water in, and set on window sill). Since then I've tried more 'cans', bought seeds from several online sites, and been trying a little bit of everything.
This summer I grew 2 Reapers, several cayenne, several Peter peppers, a few habanero. I've since tried germinating chocolate habaneros, ghost, Bolivian rainbows and have had zero success (I have some...
NOTE: Skip to the later pages to see my latest grow. Most of this is a log of my previous grows.
---------------------------------------------------------
I saw quite a lot of grow logs out here, which inspired me to make one myself. I thought that I could also use this as an opportunity to learn from the more experienced growers as well. A bit about me:
1. At this point in time, I'm 16, likely making me one of the younger growers here.
2. Although I like to mess with all things technology, I also like gardening as well
3. This is my first time growing peppers, so I'm hoping that everything goes well!
Now, onto the peppers.

It has been several year since I have started a grow log like a newb but I enjoy this time of year starting plants. My name is Cappy and I first discovered the Seven Pod in a seed trade from Sara R. in Trinidad in 2008. That year I had a grow log and documented my grow of an extra brainy seven pod and the Brain Strain 7 Pod was born. Since that time I have shared seeds with anybody and everybody who asked for little more than the cost of shipping. I did not try to profit or chase the world hottest title, that goes to CARDI and the creator of the seven pod. I am just a grower of limited means with a closet with a grow light and a backyard in a residential neighborhood. What I am is proud of my contribution to the pepper community...
Hi Guys,
So I ordered some Carolina Reapers after my brother claimed that he loved hot stuff and could chow anything. Incidentally, I met PeriPeri via his website and ordered 10 seeds. It was only when I was at my local nursery shopping for seed starting items that I realized that we are heading for winter :( I was quite keen to get started and decided to gamble with half of my seeds and attempt to start them (very early, or late - My success would prove the former, while failure the latter) as soon as I got home.
Created a simple seed starting mix of coir/peat moss/perlite/vermiculite. I'm not really one for measurements so I just whipped up a batch that felt right. Soaked it with tap water then carefully laid 1 seed per cell in...
I haven't had a garden for a few years and decided to start growing some peppers on my roof in Chicago. I originally planned to have 4 plants, and Dru (SmokenFire) offered to give me a few plants, as we're in the same city. I met with Dru and not only did he have four healthy plants for me, but also several bottles of his delicious hot sauce, some seeds, powders and even a CD. Great guy.
I decided to go a bit bigger on the garden and went to a local nursery and picked up some more plants. To add to that, I found a seller on Craigslist who had ghost pepper, trinidad moruga scorpion and ed's carolina reaper seedlings for sale. I got to his house and he showed me a 3 year old ghost pepper plant that he kept in a greenhouse. Yes...

The Reaper is happy to see you
The CP115 seeds have been pretty exciting. The germination rate was terrible for me (I'm sure totally my fault) but the plants that did pop up have been incredible and crazy. Since everybody here is well versed in reapers I'll just post the cp115 variations I have run into with this years grow. I'll just name them plant 1 through 4ish...number 5 im not even sure if its a pepper plant yet...lol
plant 1
Plant 1 is super bumpy with the newer ones producing tails. Absolutely scary looking and much hotter than reaper
plant 2 looks like a chocolate scorpion and hands down the hottest pepper I've produced yet
Plant 3 I dunno yet ...it's purple/black .....it popped...

Unfortunately, about half of the trays I had set up got shriveled up on account of a nasty wind storm drying them out. Oddly enough all the plants I had potted up already made it through without a problem, so I've spent the last couple of days redoing the ones I had seeds for, and the ones I didn't I just swapped them out with ones I recently got from PepperLover. Here's a couple pics:

Hello everyone! I am new to The Hot Pepper this year so I thought I would introduce myself here and get a grow log going. I might know someone of you from the other pepper forums... but I must say, I have been devouring the threads on this site lately and it's my new favorite. :party: Reading glog's definitely makes the corporate work day go by faster!
I live in Jacksonville, FL and have a small half-acre piece of land, although not all of it is sunny. I've been here for about three and a half years and I have been growing everything from corn, beans and tomatoes to exotic tropical specimens like coffee and cacao. I have taken my pepper growing from just four store-bought jalapeno plants in 2012 to over a hundred plants in 2015. I...
Hi All,
Im a Texan living in Singapore and just had some seeds flown over from the US. Im germinating the following right now:
-Red Scotch Bonnets
-Atomic Starfish
-Lemon Habanero
-Jalapenos
Im very limited on space indoor and outdoor but one of each plant should do just fine as we have year round temperatures of 65 to 95 degrees and lots of sun. I will get some pictures of my germination trays this evening but was not able to find any with clear plastic domes here, hopefully the seeds will still germinate? I soaked them in warm water for about 6 hours this weekend before putting them into dirt.
I've been working towards 2015 for a bit now, so I figured I might as well get the glog fired up.
Quick recap: I'm a pastor was moved by the denomination last summer (happens every so often in my profession), so 2014 was not great. The soil in the new garden spot needs a ton of work. So this year is a year I hope to move forward.
One benefit of the new place is a 10 by 10 (or so) area in the basement that I can use as a plant room. I've been working on that lately.
The room was previously used as a small wood shop, so it has a large table and a simple, homemade wooden shelving set up. Here is a shot of it with the lights temporarily in place for my over winters. I've already taken out one level in order to have a large growing...
Starting up this glog now that things are starting to ripen.
I am growing mostly my own crosses - due to very bad experiences in the past I am not sharing seeds of my crosses, but other varieties I am willing to share/trade...
My climate here in Denmark is a little colder than Maine-climate, I believe. This summer has been of the coldest ever, but most plants are doing quite okay. :-) These first two plants have been grown in the ground without any cover and are doing great despite cold weather, so really promising.

Thought I'd get my seeds selected & Glog started.
Heres what I have in mind so far:
Assam
Douglah (3rd attempt is a charm ;) )
7-Pot Merlot
Bhut Jolokia Red
Naga Viper
7-Pot Primo (2nd attempt is a charm)
Devil's Tongue
JA Hot Chocolate
Will prolly add 1-3 more types depending on germination rates.
The two that I have not been able to sucessfully grow? I have a better batch of seeds this time I think (fingers crossed ;) )
Meanwhile, outside my window. My "state fair" :P grow pots and my re-purposed tomato cages:
Hi guys!
I'm new to growing chili's, but hopefully I've done my research right. I first got some seeds from a gardening store that I I wasn't super excited about, so I've ordered some more online. The store bought are about 2 weeks in I believe, and the new ones were put in a moist paper towel and sealed up yesterday. I think I'm a bit late planting chili's, but here it goes.
The ones I've planted are:
Jalastar (the store bought ones - some sort of hybrid) x7
Dorset Naga Orange x3
Bhut Jolokia Peach x3
Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate x3
Devil's Tongue Yellow x3
Fatalii Brown x3
Prik Leung Thai Orange x3
I plan to keep 2 of each I think, I don't have the space for more.
One of them has funny leaves because they came up half...
