Here we go. It's hard to believe it's come around to the time to start seeds again.
This year's grow list is below. My lights and germinating area are set up and ready to go. I'll update as I really get started. I'll be using Rootcubes again this year. I had great success with them last season. Seed sources are listed if they are other than saved from my 2014 grow.

This starts my third Grow Log on THP.
And “I (as we all promise) am cutting back this year”, but we'll all struggle not to plant willy-nilly way more than we can easily get in the ground, consume, or harvest for next summer. There are many less innocent passions to pursue so, “what the hay?” My goal as far as cut-back, is to not end up with more that 45 plants in the ground about the end of May. But the “sowing itch” could make that 60 in a heart beat.
It's about time to get some soil made up. Last year I think for the first time I started to really get a handle and some decent results in the making of container soils, due mostly to the advice of Ganjagirl on a 420 site. Plus, I tried some plain ol'...

Hello all,
I am going to try to do a glog with the plants I am over-wintering this year. Last year, all of my OW plants died. :doh: I have changed some things this year. I hope to have better luck. :pray:
For starters, I picked up another set of lights. I think I will have better lighting all around for all of the plants. Second, I took each plant in and washed the soil from the roots and placed in brand new Happy Frog potting soil. I started watering frequently and have now relaxed the watering schedule to an as needed basis.
Unfortunately, I have an aphid problem. Funny how I never see the aphids on the plants while they are in the garden. But, I have purchased ladybugs and they are fixing the problem as I speak. Once...
Well, all of the plants(except 2) have been in the ground for a while now. I can't say they are doing great, but, not bad. You can't change the weather. 200+ pepper plants plus tomatoes and tomatillos in the pepper areas.
Just picked a bunch of Devils Brains.
And a pretty good pile of Cajun Belles.
Well, off to pick some others.
Here goes another year of learning, experimenting and with a bit of luck more success than years past. Last year proved to give some excellent yields however they started later than I had hoped, and will try and remedy that this year by getting started a bit earlier. As with most of us chileheads we are overwhelmed with the huge numbers in varieties available to us with more coming out each season, while I do plan to expand the number of varieties I grow this year from last, I have weeded out some (unfortunately only a few) to skip this year. I will be expanding my secondary grow area down at my hunt camp, last year I only planted about 35 plants there, this year I am shooting for about 150 plants. For the grow here at the house I am...
I am relatively new to this forum and have been posting here and there. Think this might make more sense.
I am in Washington DC and have a 3rd floor condo with a West facing balcony. Figuring out what will grow out there has been trying. Extremely hot and dry in the summer. Water has to be carried from the kitchen sink. Rarely will anything last over winter. Lots of pest problems because too high for many pest predators. I love to cook and love hot foods. The answer was obvious.
Here is last years set up:
I usually buy 12 plants from Chiliplants.com. It's all I can do to take the 40 or so I want and pair it down to 12.
This year I was given some seeds from Jason at Jason's Fire Fusions Hot Sauce. It took me...
Hello fellow chile heads.
I feel this post is fitting. this is something ive been working on since 2012/13 i cant hold it in anymore.
Stung Tongue Peppers MORUGUM™
Thank you Jon Harper who is the “Father” of the original 7pot bubblegum variety. i have crossed his BG7 with the Moruga scorpion via plants from RFC in 2013 (technically a back cross as the original BG7 is moruga x yellow 7pot cross. The purpose for our refined cross is to create a large Moruga style with a "bleeding cap/hat". after 3 seasons its physically very uniform...the punnett square sequence was used for the "cap"/large leafy calyx while choosing bigger size and moruga style. its perfect for dried pods with a thick jerky like flesh, seems great for...
I've grown run of the mill habs before, japs on a yearly basis, even had a successful ghost pepper last year. This summer I am making a slightly more serious attempt at growing some super hots. Not having the room in a good growing spot...I decided to go a little more vertical since it was really the only spot I had, but not enough room for all the plants. And, with nowhere to plant, I'm in pots this year which is another first. So using my trusty AeroGarden, I started a bunch of seeds that were graciously provided to me from a member here. What I ended up with was Scorpions, Yellow Butch T's, Chocolate Habanero, Black Habanero, and Carolina Reapers. I didn't take any pictures of the seedlings.
Anyways, to the vertical rack I built...
Hi folks,
First time grow log, let me start with some details about the location:
I live in Wageningen, a place well known by many of you, not by name, but because it is where the CGN genebank of the Netherands is located.
I'm a low budget grower, renting a community garden of 200m2, of which little over half is used for peppers. The location has a mixed sandy/loamy soil and drains (too) well since it is located slightly uphill. Since the gardens are located in a protected landscape, we are not allowed to put massive greenhouses there, something that has been kind of a hindrance to me. Ripening peppers in the open field can be very difficult if the late season is too wet. From october onward freezing can kill of whatever remains in...
Hi All,
First post by Gatehider from RI. I am a Nuub to Chilis and posting so bear with me. I got interested in hot chili's because my wife is SE Asian and eats raw chiles with every meal like they are candy. I can eat a little bit of spice, but my current tolerance is slightly above a total pansy. So I ordered 3 Carolina Reaper seedlings, potted them up in early June and watched them turn yellow and almost die within a month. I hope to upload some pics of the subsequent progress.
2015 grow list updated.
If you've sent me crosses that you don't see on the list it's because I'm keeping them anonymous.

Hello all, I mentioned that I was doing some research akin to Nigel, wherein I expose peppers to a chemical designed to double their chromosome count. That was several months ago. Today, that research comes to THP. All pictures will come later.
It is currently day 23 of my project, where I exposed purple jalapenos, roatan habaneros, and cayenne to oryzalin, an herbicide.
Plant one in the experiment tray sprouted two weeks ago, and required the seed coat to be removed. It had cotyledons three times as long as normal, and as of now (three days after seed coat removal) it has displayed a slower phototropism(does not bend to the light as much). It is also bright purple despite not that intense light. Yesterday, three more grew, and one...
So I wanted to share my first hydroponic pepper grow so far. Started December 1st and now we are two months in. I have a home made indoor system that is half NFT half DWC. I also have a plant that I grew in a coffey can under T5 lighting.
I was so unorganized in the beginning and it was a rough start. But I think Im getting that hang of it. I am growing both peppers and tomatoes in the same system which became a challenge. Even worse I have no idea what plants are what because during seedling stages my tray was knocked over mixing everything up. The pepper plants are either Carolina Reaper, Chocolate Scotch Bonnet, or White Habanero. The tomatoes could be anything. I have 10 different exotic kinds and not a clue to what is what.

Some kind of update is needed here....
I started this adventure back in 2012 growing white habs and Butch t's in containers on an 8th floor balcony. Mostly beginner's luck on that season.
2013 didnt work out as good, I moved and ended up with quite a few 4'x4' beds, alot of mystery mixes and dealing with horn worms and gophers.... 2014 was another move and I was reduced to a single 8'x5' raised bed. Transplants and some attempted over winters from 2013, nothing survived, but I had tomatoes growing like weeds from the compost pile. 2014 was cut short by a midyear move. I started a super chili in a solo cup and managed to get a few from it before the so cal "cold" moved in and I moved yet again.
2015, just relocated to North...
Hey guys, this is my late spring garden. I started germinating the following list in paper towel on june 4, I believe.
5 x black prince
5 x orange habanero
5 x facing heaven
5 x red bhut
7 x moruga scorpion
Out of the above, I've had 4 bl prince, 4 hab, 4 heaven, 3 moruga aaand 2-3 bhuts tap. Tapped seeds went into the hothouse in jiffy pellets on the heat mat. Plants soak up 12 hours direct sun and a few hours of supplementary light a day.
Hello from Baltimore Maryland! My name is Nick, and I've been an avid outdoor gardener for the better part of a decade. I've been more interested/concerned with growing my own food (especially peppers) year round lately so I decided to jump right in. I did some basic research to get a base of knowledge, but didn't dig too deep into rigs, since I like to do my own thing.I'd love to hear comments/ideas/suggestions/criticism (though I can't swear I'll take your good advice.)
Thanks for taking a look!
Stay tuned for some pictures if I can figure out how.
Here we go again. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Starting a little later this year. Right now, just some pubes. Supers in a week or two and the rest of the crew in Feb sometime.
Since the glog is pretty boring at this point, we'll get it off to a good start with some good food. Blackened chicken and dirty rice with jalapeno poppers.
I've been thinking about starting a glog for sometime, but for some reason I haven't started yet.. Atleast until now:)
This is my second season, but i'm going to start with a recap of my first season. It started in late march 2014 in a little 24slot grow box and 4 months later I had built a 185cm wide, 185cm high, 79cm depth grow box and 450w och MH and 300w of T8s.

Well...wasn't going to post one this season. Not much going on. I am set to leave for 6 months in August so I'm not growing very much this year. Mainly a couple varieties I am trying to stabilize...but I got some volunteers and wilds that overwintered in the ground. I am in the middle of a crazy pre-deployment training schedule, so updates will be sporadic. I really just want to document the crosses on here for future reference. So here are a couple pics.

Prologue
"Our hero, battered from the trials and frustrations of the 2014 season had originally determine that there would not be a sequel to his story. 2014 was a terrible year, between the torrential and unending rains of March-May, the unrelenting whiteflies, the brown spot, and the zombie aphids that continually arose from the dead to plague again and again...
Pair this with a busy race schedule for the Fall and extended family drama: our hero decided to sit 2015 out.
Alas, a decision was made to "plant some of my overwinters and a few tomatoes" and like a phoenix, the pepper-growing bug struck again.
Sit back friends and revel in the continuation of our story..."

So I'm lucky enough to live in Hawaii where we can grow year round. I just got back from a trip to Bali a couple weeks ago and finally have enough time to start a new Chili plantation :dance:

I will post pictures and an update every week or two.

Hello world:
My name is Nick. I am from Indiana, about half way between Ft. Wayne and South Bend.
My screen name stems from my background in automotive hobbies. I am married with cats and am lucky enough to have a wife that loves hot peppers. I am a mechanical engineer by degree and own a photography business on the side.
I spent last year stalking this forum and decided to post my grow this year.
Last year we grew:
Ancho
Long slim red cayenne
Hungarian wax
Caribbean red hot
Ghosts
Reapers
Our favorites were the red hots and the reapers. They seemed to have the most fruity pepper flavor to compliment the heat.
On 02.22.15 we planted a Burpee 72 count starter tray we found on sale. Here is the layout with the cover...
Finally started the 2015 season with the following varieties;
1. Datil
2. Orange Blob F3
3. Wes Lane's Bad Brains
4. Pink Tiger
5. 7Pot Chaguanas
6. Mississipi Butch T
7. Pimenta Lisa F2
8. Bubblegum7
9. Vezena Piperka
10. Kraken Scorpion
11. Fidalga Roxa
12. Primo x Fatali
13. Habanero Burning Bush
14. Habanero Jaguar
15. Gibbering Idiot Habanero
Only one Bad Brains seed. Datil planted end of the summer.
So far I have SB7J, Chocolate Lava, BORG 9, and Chocolate Brain. Pictures will be added soon.
This year is my first year that I am going all in. I've helped with the family garden in the past but I would say I am pretty new to peppers for the most part. I've done a lot of research in the past few months regarding next year's approach. Here's what I have came up with so far:
I am planning on growing roughly 120 pepper plants of differing breeds and heat levels. Roughly 50% of the plants with be Jalapeno or lower for the rest of the family and friends.
I am planning on doing a the bulk of the plants in the garden.
As an experiment I am toying with 1 plant in DWC (5 gallon bucket), 1 plant in "fogponics" (5 gallon bucket) and 6 plants in a DIY low pressure aeroponics system (27 gallon tote). I may scrap the "fogponics" idea mainly...

resting safely in their new home
We will be adding more plants as well as repotting the Habs, Yellow scotch bonnets and Carolina Reapers today
I began this grow a little bit late in the season. It's my first grow, and I decided to jump headfirst with the goals of learning through experimentation and studying other people's successes and mistakes. I began this project in the beginning of May, when I purchased Giant Bhut Seeds and Trinidad Scorpion Seeds from pepperjoe.com. I found out that some people have had mixed results with this vendor, after the fact of course. Whether these strains will turn out to be what I purchased is to be determined. Fingers crossed.
As a note, I didn't start this journey out intending on doing a GLOG. My documentation begins to get more thorough as the GLOG progresses, so please bear with me.

Hey everyone!
Starting my seeds later this year, as a result of last year's experiments. But it's a very dreary day in the NW. Which is the perfect time to start this year's glog!
Only garlic and collards in the garden now. And rain. Lots of rain:
Last year I grew too much heat. I'll admit it! I want to can a bunch of peppers this year, so I'm going strong with Annuums.

Time for another season. Big hopes for a better season this year. Last year was a near complete bust for me, started out battling ferocious winds, very poor extremely hard clay soil, too much rain, and a number of other issues. I was able to learn from it, had some plants up near the house I babysat through the season, and I have since made some massive improvements to the soil and hope to get a fence up to act as a windbreak before the plant out in May. This is my second year with a giant garden (50x50) and have no intentions of scaling down just yet. In the past I have been limited to a small 15x5 garden because of where I lived. We moved to our new (and hopefully permanent) home in Nov of 2013.
In the past I have always started my...
Welcome to my grow log.
A bit of a backstory – I’m from British Columbia, Canada. I’ve always had a penchant for spicy food but there isn’t a lot available locally in terms of fresh pods outside of your standard jalapeno, and habanero peppers. So I decided, eh, I’ll try my hand at growing my own. I came here, I read, and read, I watched videos on YouTube, and read some more – started building a list of what I needed (or “wanted” if you ask my girlfriend) to purchase to make it happen. Now three months later, here I am.
I am currently growing the following peppers at home:
Jalapeno
Purple Jalapeno
Habanero
Jamaican Hot Red Habanero
Pepperoncini
Fatalii (coming along VERY slowly)
Trinidad Perfume Pepper (coming along VERY slowly)
