Glogs

RocketMan · Jun 18, 2015

So my first Glog ended kind of abruptly in January. Apologizes to those who were following for not posting up anything about what was up. To say the least we've had one heck of a year in the 5 months since then. The best part is welcoming our newest Grandchild A.J. It's also been a rough 5 months for our little ones. As some of you know we adopted our 2 youngsters back in 2012 and in the time since then have made a lot of progress in their healing from the "stuff" and their bio put them through. This year though it's shown us that they're not as far along as we really thought they were, hurting other kids, teachers and property in school a big part of it, and that they need more from us than they have been getting. So, after a...

Hi guys this is my first ever attempt at growing anything. its such a small little setup but i gotta start small and im in a place with very limited room so this will do for now. got on the go: Jalapenos moruga scorpian bhut Jolokia Carolina Reaper Brain Strain birdseye and a couple i dont really know. can remember putting some seeds under dirt in a pot plant once and they just came up.( sorta how i got interested in it) any tips on what i should do to get them up to scratch would be great

BobR · Aug 31, 2015

Well much much to really glog about at this point but my Fatali are really kicking it! At over 4 ft -closer to 5 they are producing nicely! Got a couple more in buckets too. Just picked 7+ lbs today and only got to 1/2 of the plants (3 of 6) . Fatali on the left. morugas -over 5 ft going on 6 on right. I really enjoy these dried and crushed. Nice flavor and not too hot. Great for topping almost anything! I expect another 20 lbs when all is said and done. Bob

hi everybody ! after having had lots of fun last year, i already started this year's grow to have a headstart on my shady balcony, lots of foliage make the best of little light or so i guess ;) im getting straight to the pics, here we go, so far so good ! tray one: tray two: i only plan on keeping four of the plants, all together it were 4 varieties planted with three seeds each so i am happy with germination rates ! i wish all of you the best for this new and coming season, bring on the heat ! ;)

SentencedToBurn · Feb 6, 2015

Hey guys I'm about to put together my aquaponics (barrel-ponics) setup over the next couple of weeks. The setup is pretty small - 2 grow beds from a single 55 galon drum, and 2 50L crayfish enclosures (each one will only be filled to about 30L). I'm using a small 600lph pump, 10-20mm clayballs as growing medium. Not sure how big of a water heater I'll need as the greenhouse is heated and will not drop below 15C (60F) - its hot as at the moment anyway so I'll sus that out once the temperature starts dropping. Crayfish I'm using are NZ native freshwater crays (koura) http://www.clearwatercrayfish.co.nz/koura.html and these guys seem to be comfortable with pH anywhere from 5-7 so I'll set it at about 6 which seems to be pretty mint...

Super Hots Canada · Sep 20, 2013

I suppose rather than starting a new topic each time I update you all on my progress, it's better to stick to one... So to begin with, I just have a small update for today: My largest Cayenne (which I just pruned back in the past couple of weeks) is finally growing it's very first flowers. This is one of six Cayenne's that I originally bought as seedlings. This one has taken off the best. The rest seemed to have struggled to grow. One of my young Jalapeño (I believe) plants is also starting to flower. This is one that I started from seed and it's showing a good many more flowers than the Cayenne, shown above, even though it is far smaller and younger. Seeing them start to flower, I decided to add some more Tomato mix...

Ohjay · Apr 28, 2015

For the first time in my life I've decided to try and grow something, and since I like spicy food and especially chilis, the choice was simple. Chilis for the win! Since my previous experience with growing anything is practically non-existant(I helped mom plant carrot seeds when I was a kid) I started with basic research. What did I need? How does it work? What's the process like? Can it even be done purely inside, only relying on sunlight? My, very patient, sister got several(read: tons of) questions, and still do. She's a saint ;) All said and done, I ordered seeds, soil, pots, fertilizer, etc... everything I could come up with that I would need for the first two months of my adventure. The seeds I decided to grow were: 3x...

Craiggger · Aug 25, 2015

Hey guys, late to the post party this year... Too much going on! Check out my bed and the 3 over winters from last year: The bed plants are all from the store; a variety of hots and super hots. My baby's are in the pots which I care for tireless over this past cold canadian winter. Lots of bug problems but they made it and are now going HAM. Cheers :dance:

SeanW · Apr 27, 2015

Woah...I uh...totally flaked on last year's glog. I have a 1 year old. That'll happen. The moral of the story last year was that none of my plants really performed all that great save for the plants in the DWC. I didn't really get out much to take care of things, so that was probably why. I also wasn't watching two of my hydro peppers (urfa biber) and they got too large too fast and weren't sufficiently supported and kinda snapped. My other two DWC plants were a basil plant that provided a ton of basil, and an orange hab that gave me about a gallon of pods. Not bad for a single plant. I got my stuff going late this year, my seedling tray only got started a week or two ago. I've started buying the stuff to expand my hydro setup to 10...

I will start of with the starting chamber I made. It is basically a window box that is inside my deck greenhouse. I also have aquaponic growbeds in the GH. The fish tank is in the basement to keep fish through the winter. I wanted to utilize the sun light and solar heat that the GH generates. I can typically get a 50 deg increase on p. cloudy days and up to 70 deg increase on sunny days. It is to cold to grow in for 18 hrs a day without heating. Here is the chamber. It has dropped to 45 with sub zero temps but usually stays between 55-60 at night and up to 90 on sunny days. This makes it very easy to pull the plants out for some play time when GH is warm. Here are the peppers. They get morning and afternoon light from...

Chilidude · Dec 23, 2014

10 different chilis should suffice for season 2015: Carolina reaper. Petenero. Carribean antillais. Bonda ma jacques. Fatalii. Naga morich. Rocato. Black habanero. Aji golden. Aji pineapple. Still going to grow them with led growing lights. Ghe flora micro+Ghe flora mato and coco coir is my growing combo.

Pettson · Aug 18, 2015

Hello everyone! First grow first glog. Fire alarm, HID and CFL down low. DIY 60w cfl light Germination in progress, also got some basil and thyme sprouting under the dome. The large chili I bought at the store the other day Checked on my japaleno and serrano seeds 4-5 days in, the white bit looks fuzzy. Could it be mold? When testing the HID the temperature was around 34c an hour or so. I put them back in the ziplock bag, they should be green sprouts right? So far I have: Fresno (pepper) Serrano Tampiqueno Jalapeno Numex Pinata Old market Cambodian ( bonus seeds from order) Germinating. And some more seeds on the way.

JJJessee · Dec 15, 2014

Peppers,Peppers,Peppers..... 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'...

bpiela · Nov 17, 2014

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...

skullbiker · Aug 11, 2015

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.

Seacowboy · Dec 27, 2014

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...

Alynne · Mar 8, 2015

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...

DanVan · Aug 16, 2015

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...

nubster · Jun 25, 2015

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...

Genemonger · Jul 12, 2015

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...

Gatehider · Aug 18, 2015

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.

cruzzfish · Apr 10, 2015

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...

Yellowfin2na · Feb 2, 2015

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. ...

rhm3769 · Mar 8, 2015

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...

READY2BURN · Jan 26, 2015

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.

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. Primo X... Romy Mystery X Goat's Weed along the back with Jals in front. A couple of the Mystery X GW's in front of a coffee table for reference. They are already about 2.5 feet tall.
