So, first round of seeds went into the ground on dec 25th. Went on vacation on New Year's and came home to hooks galore.     First seedlings transplanted. They were started in MG seed starting mix. I had good luck with it this year. The first transplants went into MG organic potting soil. After that, I bought Sun 4-mix with myco from a local hydro store. Amazing stuff. They younger seedlings were WAY larger than the ones in the MG as seen in the pic below.     got one triple coyt     A group shot     Round two of seeds going into the trays   Hooks on the 2nd round     Needed a bigger better space besides my small closet. So into the spare bedroom closet they went after some building     Silly 6 week old plant thinks its time to...
Good day, this is my first post here but I've been lurking for a couple days to get the feel for what I can tell is a forum filled with nice people.   Having seen Kevin's late start Glog, it kind of empowered me to do the same.   I live in Bakersfield California, which is a desert ecosystem made arable by being situated in a valley and lots of manpower. There's a lot of agriculture here, and it's pretty well known here that we have an especially long growing season, with pepper fruiting temperatures even into December.   I think I have a chance to get some pods, at the least, well established plants for next spring.   I'm experimenting with grow tech, first storebought tech: I'm growing in Topsy Turvy tomato trees, several of them, they...
Hello everyone!   This is my first year growing peppers.  Well at least any "real peppers"  My wife has grown some low heat stuff the last 2 years, but I had no real involvement.   I have a bunch of seeds set to arrive from some great people on this forum.  I am not entirely sure what I have coming, so I will only list what I have currently in my starters for now.   Edit - Updated on 23 Mar 2015   In Ground: 7 Pot Red 7 Pot Bubblegum 7 Pot Madballz Aji Limon Aji Pineapple Bhut Jolokia Red Carolina Reaper CGN 21500 Cherry Bomb Cumari Do Para Devil's Tongue Habanero Red Savina Jalapeno Purple Jamaican Mushroom Red Large Orange Thai Moruga Scorpion Naga Morich Thai Ornamental Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate Zimbabwe Bird In Solos: Almost all...
Well after a few months of research and advice from the fine folks here at THP, I'm happy to start my very first glog! I started the day by building a stand for my lights, now I'm thinking I may need another ballast. After I set up the stand and lights, I laid down some foam, then my heat mat. I filled my 7 cup station with MG seed starter and watered in. After mixing the soil around I laid in my seeds. *Yellow Primo *SB7J *Carolina Reaper *Greek Pepperoncini *Bush Big Boy Tomato Hybrid *Pequin x2 I laid saran wrap over top and tried my best to seal it, but saran wrap and I have never seen eye to eye. Programmed the timer on the light, 18 on, 6 off, going on from 5pm to 11am. I know lights aren't necessary at this point but what the...
Hey guys,  back for another year.  I really downsized this year on the varieties being grown.  Concentrating mostly on flavor for 2015.  I got seeds soaked and started about 1 week ago and have a few sprouts as of yesterday.  I planted directly into styrofoam cups with Ocean Forest soil and placed in a humidity dome with a heatmat underneath.  My other heatmat doesn't work for some reason I couldn't tell you so needed to save space and planted the second round in peat pellets and placed in the same humidity dome.     1st round planted includes:   Bahamian Goat - Jungle Rain Bahamian Goat - My selected seeds from 2014 MoA Scotch Bonnet OG - Steve954 MoA Scotch Bonnet Gen. 2 - My selected seeds from 2013 Red "MoA" Scotch Bonnet -...
I wanted to share a few photos of the progress of my 2015 chile season. I recently took my wintered over plants from inside the house and moved them into the unheated greenhouse. Since these photos everything has been moved to the outside now that the temps are getting into the 70's Day/45-50 Nighttime temps .           The seedling pics show a combination of stripped and normal growth. They're finally starting to look Ok. Seems like they're taking forever this season to get going.
GOD SPEED!!   These pictures aren't the best, but this is a hectic look at the beginning of my grow. I've been really busy and haven't had a chance to get everything out on time. I'm still waiting on another dome to come in the mail so I can grow some red bhut and some 7pot trinidad yellow/choclate (and probably throw in a bunch of other stuff!) Got a pellet dome started last week as well more choclate habs 7 pot jonah and everything else listed. Nothing has popped yet but i'm being patient for once.   I just changed the water out of this tonight and replaced it with water infused with a weak fertilizer solution now that a good bit of them have a set of true leaves.    Below are some rough pictures of my first dome.I misplaced my layout...
The addiction continues... lol.   Last year, I ended up growing 4 Jalapeno plants and 2 Habanero plants. I gave half to my brother, so I had 3 plants to myself.   This year, I plan on going a little more extreme, as the peppers that I got from last years grow were amazing, but we ate through them too quickly. I also ended up using some inferior soil, which really hurt my grow last year.   Last Year's Plants:           Today I went ahead and started germinating my seeds:     I started with 10 Blut Jolukia seeds, 10 Jalapenos, 10 Habaneros and 10 Thai Chilis from David's Garden Seeds (Enough to account for a possible 20% germination rate).   I put the seeds into paper towel strips and watered them and then put them in plastic...

Hi Everyone!   In January I began sowing chilli seeds for a community project that didn't exist - We had no name, no greenhouse or poly tunnel assembled and I had very little knowledge of chilli growing.   I've learnt a stack from the Chillis Galore Forum and we are now steaming ahead with our grow with aproximately 650 plants on the go.   I'm still pretty hectic potting up - we have had to pot-up twice so far as we had to save space as we built our heated bench and other infrastructure.   I'll try and get some photos and additional information on our glog but in the meantime here is a video montage of some of our work so far.      
Welcome. This is my second year of growing chilies. First year gave a decent yield and a lot of experience (see http://thehotpepper.com/topic/49543-first-year-growing-glog/).   Generally I am very limited in space. For this year I will grow less plants, but in bigger pots, outside.  I intend to have 4-5 outside plants in ~20 liters fabric pouches, and 1-2 smaller plants in 5 liters pots, but i accidentally sowed more varieties than this. We will see how it turns out!     I sowed the following seeds yesterday: Fatalii yellow (pepperlover) Goats weed (pepperlover) Brazilian starfish (pepperlover) Cracked jalapeno (pepperlover) Unknown bird pepper (from pod) Lemon something (pod left by my door along with a note that mentioned this pod was...

Howdy and welcome folks!!! I decided to keep this glog going for 2015 instead of starting a new one. This year i will be growing mostly 7 pot varieties, going to try and focus on the 7 pot varieties and 7 pot crosses anyway. I have starts for a few others though. The start for 2015 begins on page 35.   Grow list: 7 pot primo (pepperlover) 7 pot jonah (pepperlover) Defcon 7 (buckeye) MA daisycutter (buckeye) 7 pot original (pepperlover) 7 Pot Barrackpore (pepperlover) Sb7j (meathead) 7 pot gigantic sr orange (refining fire) 7 pot wes (refining fire) Sherwoods Carbonero, carbon bhut 7 pot x orange hab (pepper t sherwood) Bonda ma Jacques x yellow 7 pot (meathead) Non 7 pots: MOA scotch bonnet (meathead) Smokin Eds carolina reaper (Ed...
So this is my first grow log.  I grew a variety of super hots & Jalapenos last summer from seed & had pretty good luck...  This year I'm trying to raise the bar. Planted some seed in late January & then more in Feb.  Winter sucked here.  I want to move someplace warm like Arizona.  This is my grow list   Jalapeno Billy Biker MOA Scotch Bonnets Bhut Jalokia Yellow Bhut Butch T Red Squash Chocolate Bhut 7 Pot Brain Strain Cumra Cherry Chocolate Jamaican Habanero Yellow Fatali 7 Pot Rennie Pimenta Elisir Bhut x Nede Padron Poblano Sante Fe Shishisto   and assorted other vegetables.   I'm growing it under a couple 2 x 4 8 Bulb T5 fixtures & 1 1 x 2 T5 4 bulb fixture until I cant plant them out.  Seems like a long way still...Cold as hell...
Hey all! It about that time.  Just placed my seed order with baker creek last night.  Big changes coming to our garden this year, mainly in the form of combating gophers and weeds and making the garden a little more self sustaining as i only get over to it about once or twice a week.  But anyway, on to the good stuff.  Heres the list:   Bhut Jolokia Criolloa De Cocine Caribbean Red Hab Anaheim California Wonder Yellow Monster Shishito Arroz Con Pollo Chocolate Hab Emerald Giant Craig's Grande Jala Jimmy Nardello Lemon Drop Midnight Dreams Bell Horizon Bell Peach Hab Miniature Yellow Bell Sweet Chocolate Cayenne Long Thin Reaper Scorpion Hungarian Goat Horn Pepperoncini Moa Scotch Bonnet     There will also be a few randoms in 3 gal...
I'm terrible at keeping track of my grows.   This year the peppers are:   Farmer's Jalapeno - 7 Aleppo - 6 Cumra Cherry - 6 Aji Amarillo - 6 Devil's Brain - 6   In the past I have done one or two plants of a dozen varieties. I always had the problem of not enough jalapenos for a batch of poppers.   Farmer's Jalapenos and Aleppo   An Aleppo, Cumra Cherry, South African Baby Pineapples and a barely living Calamondin   Aji Amarillo and Devil's Brain   The Jerusalem Artichokes are starting to pop
No pics, so nothing to get excited over. Its just to help my fergetful ass to remember what I did, and when. Germinating with the coffee filters and zip bags technique on heating mats covered with towels. Threw these seeds on the mat 1/16/2015   Chocolate Hab Brainstrain Bbg7 B.o.c. Sicmans mystery 2014 F2 Choc Scorp x Yellow Bhut?

I have the winter blues and it's only early January.  :tear:   Here's a shot of my Apache and Cayennetta in their winter home in my living room, window facing North-East. I guess they're doing okay - they basically look like they're frozen in time from the day I brought them in, back in October. They have some chew marks, but those were there before I brought them in. No aphids, knock wood.    I can't wait to start the jalapenos that the webmaster mailed to me.  :dance:  
Hi y'all, thought I'd start my first grow log here. No photos as of yet as the seeds have not germinated in the greenhouse, but I'm growing a large variety thing year of hots and sweets, and I'm excited.   Currently germinating on the hot side: bhut jolokia, jalapeno, orange hab, datil, long cayenne, czech black, chinese five pepper, fish, pasilla bajio, poblano, NuMex 4-6 Heritage, and Sandia. I'm probably forgetting a couple at the moment. Still awaiting seeds on Aji Cito, Tehrani, Aleppo, Peach Naga, and Bishop's Hat.    A little about my garden: I'm in zone 7b/8a depending on the year here in coastal VA, but weather has been weird lately. Generally we're looking at frost free from about now until late November. It makes for a good...
Good day and welcome to my glog 2015 :)   This is my first official chili plant grow log. I've decided to keep this log because i think it will be mutually beneficial to compare experience and knowledge on the subject of chili growing. It is a hobby i've had since summer 2008. I've grown a number of different chili's with different traits, from habanero's to fluorescent purple's. My method has always been a simple windowsill garden at a sunny window. I've tried different kinds of soil mixes and fertilizers but never really conducted any experiments to compare one fertilizer from another. This grow log is not going to differ in that aspect, however, i'm going to try cross breeding for the first time. Not to try and beat the heat, but...
I have been overcome by events and do not think that I will grow anything this year.  I have started 0 seeds and do not think that I will be in a position to start anything soon enough to support the 2015 season.  Maybe I will buy a few live plants and grow a minimal amount this year.  For those of you that have sent me seeds, I apologize that I will not be growing them this year.  If you would like them back, just let me know and I will return them.  For clarity, please don't anyone think that I am asking for anyone to feel sorry for me and send me pods - I just want those of you who sent me seeds to know that I will not be growing them.  There are plenty of sources (e.g. Judy for fresh pods so I am sure that my sauce/puree/powder...

Hi all,   Here's a a glog where some people where asking for. I'm quite a busy man, so don't expect to many interesting updates. This year is mostly about (rare) wilds and some simple varieties. I put some plants inside for overwintering at the end of September. These are my trinidad moruga scorpion, my cheiro pfefferianus (cheiro roxa cross.. accidental, one of the best tasting varieties I have), my not fatalii jigsaw (seeds from Fatalii.. but turned out as something else.. this is my bonchi) and a bird's eye demon. And yes, that's a crappy variety but I have it for my vietnamese co-worker which would like to have it after the winter.   About myself, I'm a 26 year old guy currently living in the Netherlands. My hobbies are...
In a new house and I've set up 8 4' x 8' raised beds.  Drip irrigation will be installed following the tax return.   Last few years I've been largely unsuccessful.  School and moving kept me from enjoying fresh homegrown peppers.   Now that I'm a bit more stable location-wise I can concentrate in establishing an awesome garden.   So far I have filled a 72 seedling tray with:   Papa Joe's Yellow Scotch Bonnet Scotch Bonnet TFM Caramel Morouga Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion Jay's Red Ghost Scorpion 7pot Bubblegum Trinidad Scorpion Morouga Red Trinidad Scorpion Morouga Yellow Trinidad Scorpion Butch T Trinidad Scorpion Yellow CARDI 7pot Jonah 7pot Primo  7pot Primo Orange Bahamian Goat Jamaican Scotch Bonnet MOA Scotch Bonnet Foodarama Nagabon...
Hi THP, this is the start of my third garden.  I've learned a lot over the past two growing seasons, hopefully this year will continue improving.  I'll be growing mostly in containers, as I've found that my hugelcultur-ish bed isn't very good for peppers, amongst other things.     2015 Pepper Grow List: Large Hot Cherry Kaliedoscope Large Cracked Jalapeno Quadrato d'Asti Giallo Bell King of the North Bell C. galapogonese Peach Ghost Scorpion Carolina Reaper Red, White, and Brown Bhuts Piquin Tepin Datil Aji Limon Rocoto Bulls Heart Arbol Trinidad Perfume Long Thin Cayenne Tobasco   Heres my ghetto-ass germination station   Tray #1 with mostly hots:     And tray #2 with not-so-hots and some other stuff like watermelons, hibiscus, and...
A lazy 38 °C late spring day in Canberra feels like a good one to make a start on a glog! This is my 5th season of more serious pepper growing,. since the addiction really took hold.   This year I will put more peppers in the ground, and keep less in pots. Everything still growing in pots at the moment - Canberra suffers ground frosts as late as early November.    I overwintered a lot of plants, because I started lots of Chinenses too late last season and wanted an early start this season. It is paying off. We will have ripe Chinense pods for Christmas this year!    I am growing a lot not only for fun but also to figure out 2 things:  1. Which peppers we like the most (although I am thwarted by a constantly evolving preference) 2. Which...
Well the least said about the 2013-2014 season from my point of view the better.  Broad Mites took a heavy toll and things just never got a start or a roll on .... I was at fault in some part by trying to grow too many plants in too small pots (a lesson I was yet to heed after 2-3 seasons), I tried to cheap on amendments just using a commercial potting mix ... never again ... and I didn't love them enough ... (I don't think I ever do although my wife disagrees ;) )    I had some great varieties started but most I never got a single pod from, due to being in a constant flux of recovery and attack from Broad mites ... I will be holding onto a select few plants and putting them on my other balcony where I had success transplanting some...

Real first year of pepper growin for me. Last year I bought some plants for my Mother and kept some for myself to give it a try. Started kinda late, wrong soil, pests, and not so good weather left me with basically a hand full of pods at the end. Learned a lot from readin up on this here forum and hope i can get some pods this time round. I'll be growin them up 4 stories on my balcony facing hmm southeast. Just figured i'd start this so I can have a record of how they do and knowing that everyone luv's pics. So thanks to everyone i've dealt with or not(info)  so that I can try and get some different peppers other than the regular store bought.   Grow List   Aji pineapple B  starfish Red rocoto 7 Pot white & choco Yellow fatalli Yellow &...
