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. I am hoping they'll top 11' this season. These are large orange thai for the Growdown this...

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'm going to focus mainly on breeding different varieties and would like to take y'all on my adventure. 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...

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...

pwnguin · Jul 17, 2015

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. The List 2015!! C.

beerbreath81 · Jan 31, 2015

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...

Mnemosynesis · Jul 4, 2015

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) Kung...

Sluggy · Dec 29, 2014

Documenting the new season ! Early start because the weather is crummy here in the Netherlands. Aji Panca, a (very) mild, Peruvian oddball strain that actually tastes like blueberry. Frickin BLUEBERRY ! How kick ass is that ? The first leaves ("cotyledons" in botanical nerd speak) are unusually big. Never seen seen seedlings with such huge cotyledons. Assorted seedlings, with White Bullets and Choco Morugas in the back. These are under 6 small neon tubes that I really should be replacing soon. It's working, but not all that well. Bonchi fun ! Just a month before the picture of this CAP219 was taken, this was just a little stem without any green on it whatsoever. As I predicted, this strain appears to be very suitable for...

Well i started not knowing wtf i was doing. I have never GROWN ANYTHING from seed or grown anything in general so take it ez on me. This is my first year and i'm learning everyday ! I started with about 12 varieties which included: Yelow Fatalli ( swartmamaba ) Choc Fatalli ( swartmamaba ) Red Bhut jolokia ( frankie ) White Bhut jolokia ( pepperlover ) Scotch bonnet ( swartmamaba ) Corni di toro ( wickedmike ) dragon cayenne ( wickedmike ) reaper ( koreansoul ) brainstrain yellow ( pepperlover ) white congo ( pepper lover ) douglah ( swartmamaba ) 7pot white ( pepperlover ) aji dulce ( ikf ) and did i mention that i didn't label a thing ? hah i figured since it was my first grow ever i would be happy getting any kind of...

maximumcapsicum · Apr 29, 2015

I wish I'd started this sooner, but I've been slammed with research/writing work until now. That's subsiding as the semester winds down and I move closer to being Dr. MaxCap. Things were so hectic over the winter that I almost didn't plant anything at all. Boy am I glad I got some stuff started. I grow in Atlanta, in two raised 4x12' beds in a community garden. Last year was my first serious grow, and I went broad, starting at least one representative from every major branch of the superhot pepper family. Being that I wasn't sure I'd be in town to finish the season, I dialed it back to my absolute favorites. Powders, sauces, and salsas all turned out great, thanks to help from THP's community. I tried to share a lot of it back around...

dan5505 · Mar 15, 2015

Last year was my first time growing peppers. I grew several Jalapeno and Habanero plants both indoors and out in the garden. It was a lot of fun, so this year I am going to try some other varieties. Here is my plan for this year. Overwintered Plants: 4 Jalapeno Early 7 Orange & Red Habaneros Started January-February 2015: 2 Banana or Corno di Toro (mixed seeds I found from 2011) 3 Bell 2 Cayenne 2 Serrano 1 Cherry Tomato Starting soon just ordered seeds: 1 Aji Habanero 1 Trinidad Perfume 1 Bishop's Hat 1 Brazillian Starfish 1 Bhut Jolokia I only have enough windowspace indoors for one of each variety. The rest will go out in the garden when it gets warm or will be given away. This is my high tech seed starting /...

I'm back on bussines again! Started my first load of seeds on Jan.,29,2015. Why Phoenix? Because (probably) no one of my 2014 peppers will be in my 2015 list (old story, lack of space....), and my 2015 is a new, reborn list. No pictures so far (another old story, lazy to upload to photobucket, and put the link here), but will post them.

Solem22 · Feb 4, 2015

Alright, here we go again. Most of my seeds hit the dirt today. I will be using a plot at the community garden as well as the beds at my house. I started a few rocoto seeds earlier this year but they have not been too happy so far. I tried a different seed starting mix for them and I don't think I will be using again. I used my mix that I used last year for the big tray. Mix consists of peat, perlite, mykos and some kelp meal. Had great results with it so I will probably just stick with that mix. If it aint broke, dont fix it! Here is the grow list. There may be some changes additions but this is it....for now.

Figure it would be good to become more of an active member on these forums and start my own glog. For the following reasons 1. Something to look back and reflect on for my accomplishments. 2. Get expert advice (from all you wise ones, and some of the pretenders :) on what I am doing wrong. 3. To make some new friends and possible trade some seeds and plants in the future! I am going to start by first thanking chocolatescotchbonnet for the seeds and all the help you have given so far, definitely got the ball rolling for me! So to start out this is my first time ever growing super hots. I found this site a while back but missed the grow time.

Hey All!!! Got one I've personally never experienced before... Treated a week or two ago with a small dose of liquid nitrogen, as the plants showed very clear signs of NIT deff. (Yellowing leaves all over the plant, slowed growth, etc) Haven't had a heck of a lot of trouble with pests on these plants so far this season, minus a small bout with some spider mites that I managed to nip in the bud early, a solitary snail (who is very happily munching the apartments ground cover plants downstairs with his hundreds of buddies as we speak ^.^) , and two or three leaf hoppers I had to scare off. This 2nd Yr Jal plant was surrounded by a Hab (young, first season), a 7 Pot(2nd yr), Catnip, Rosemary, Thyme, Lemon Sage, Spearmint, Agave, and a...

Finally, after getting the greenhouse built, I'm able to start one of these :P I have been dying to get things growing but wanted all my ducks in a row. Anyway, in the ensuing pages you will find details on my plants and what I did to get them to where they are going to be (either awesome or dead, we will see!). This is my first true attempt at growing anything. My girlfriend had flowers, herbs, squash and a bell pepper plant on the deck. One day months back I was curious to see if I had a green thumb or if I was a plant killer, so I started trying to take care of things. There was much suffering. After research, trial and error, I was able to get things to grow a bit but the bugs (aphids and whiteflies) thwarted me. I'm not dealing...

Hello Again. This is my first year growing peppers. It all started with a free seed giveaway on you tube (thanks Scott). And me thinking this was the year to stop traveling for work and grow some plants. Well that's not how things happened. In fact I started the first seeds in February if I'm not mistaken. Once they started growing I wanted more. long story short I have 120 5 gal grow bags on the carpet. + another 50 or so in the ground. I hand mixed my medium Starting off with 1/3 sand 1/3 top soil 1/3 coco adding blood meal, bone meal, Epson salt, dolomite lime, osmocote flower and vegetable, and I used Alaska fish fertilizer to water inn after transplanting.

I was just wondering what everyone's favorite way to start pepper seeds and which methods give the best results? Thanks

TrentL · Feb 8, 2015

Well, off to an early start this year. I'm planting left over seeds from last year, to start, so I'm putting them in a little early just in case some don't pop. Sorting last year's stash I kept tucked away from Pepperlover And the first tray of 2015 I didn't plant any Nagas this year. Probably won't. Not doing reapers again, have plenty of heat in the brown morugas, brain strains, and barrackpores. The next tray I do will be the rest of the non-annuums in a couple weeks, plus a replant of anything that hasn't popped by then. Shooting for about 80 plants in the ground this year. One full row of annuums, 5 jalapeno plants, 10 cayenne plants (never seem to grow enough of that!). 15 4 1/2 rows of Chinense, 10 per row...

Elvis Has Left The Forum · Mar 15, 2015

I am finally getting things growing this year! I have several types of seeds on top the fridge to germinate using the wet paper towel method... #1) One of my friends took me out to where plants with these peppers were growing wild along a fence line in a large pasture. Dry they are between 1/4" and 3/8" in diameter. He calls them "Buckshot Peppers" because they are about the size of buckshot. LOL I am trying to germinate some of these seeds and when I get viable seeds, I will post more photos of these as they grow. #2) The same friend also gave me a couple of "Grove Pepper" plants that he had pruned back from last year. #3) My Dad's friend gave me this baggie of peppers from the Grove Pepper plants that my Dad had...

I have never done a glog or any form of blog. I feel rather embarassed to even post my grow because I cannot even begin to compete with most of yall. However, I got some awesome equipment to work with this year. After my dad passed I inheirited all his gardening supplies. He was an avid indoor grower so I have a lot of sweet lighting to work with including 2 UFO (LED) lights, more florescent grow lights and hoods than I care to count and about half a dozen HPS/MH setups (which won't see any use due to power usage). I also have his greenhouse that he rigged up with auto-watering systems, fans and old fridges that he turned into raised beds. It will be a lot of work cleaning everything up and getting it ready, but this will be hands down...

Started a bit late this year so we'll see how it goes. Just spent the past 40 minutes trying to fix the broken on/off switch on my T5 fixture. $100 piece of equipment taken down by a 2 cent piece of plastic. :banghead: All is well now, at least. Not doing much heat this go around. I've finally come to terms with the fact that I'm more of a pepper appreciator than a pepper lover, I grow them for the novelty factor more than anything. I ended up giving a lot away last year, still have tons of superhots in my freezer, think I might invest in a dehydrator this year. Anyway, here's the preliminary list.
