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:

Commonwealth · Mar 20, 2015

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...

buddy · Mar 8, 2015

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...

Pfeffer · Dec 27, 2014

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...

Yaargh! · Feb 17, 2015

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.

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.

Aussie · Nov 22, 2014

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...

Trippa · Jul 9, 2014

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...

More Hotta · Mar 13, 2015

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.

rory · Feb 1, 2015

So I kicked my season off NYE by soaking all my seeds in a light regular tea solution for 24hrs. New Years day I placed all the seeds in individual plastic containers with scottex kitchen paper and sprayed them with water. Afterwards they went straight onto my "heat mat" (hot water tank). Where they stayed until they germinated. Also I had 3 plants over-wintering from last year. The numbers: From 92 seeds, 68 germinated. 65 have survived . Sources: Seeds I saved from last years harvest, chilli s I bought from markets, European Seed Train, THP members, Jamison, IkeepFish, BeerBreath. Thank you all for trading with me!

Well this last grow season iv been pretty busy, so at the start i decided not to plant any more seeds and just to try and over winter some plants from the year before. This is how those over wintered plants look this afternoon. Manzano Amarillo out front on both sides of door, ULTRA Pubes round the left side, Rocoto Peru Bitumi round the right side.

I just wanted to get this up here for now, I'll update with my pepper list and plant pics later. I just got these LED's in the mail from China at about $15 each. I made a simple adjustable mount. I can't wait to see how much better my plants do this year with the LED's. Last year I had OK luck with just my 4 T8 setup.

I thought I would make a glog for my first attempt at creating some bonchis and share my experience as I'm pretty excited about the whole thing! I should say I'm following fatalii's growing guide and my own basic plant knowledge! Fatalii's growing guide is here: http://www.fatalii.net/Bonsai_Chiles_Bonchi If you've never seen it, it's well worth a read. These are the plants that have been chosen to become bonchis: a Scotch Bonnet plant. This plant is already two years old which is why I chose to use this one as it already has a thick woody stem and some nice thick roots. A Spike plant. This was grown this year and is ideal as it's got small leaves and small fruit. A Fairy Lights plant. Also this years. This one has got awesome...

Hey THP, Well, I started a grow for next season a nice little bit ago. I've struggled with growing and my space is limited so I'm wanting to grow out the best plants I can. It's been rough, but I'm working on stuff and learning. With this glog, I'm doing things a little differently. I'm just going to do short little update videos here and there. Anything not addressed in the videos I'll type a short spiel on. Sound good!?! GOOD!!! :) OK, check it here are the first two videos: That was a few days ago and here is a recent update. I'm going to keep these around 2 or 3 minutes a piece. Short and effective. Now that I'm doing a little better here are some little things here and there I'm wondering about. 1) A bunch...

Hello Good People, Well, here we go! Things have seriously escalated this year :D It's a slippery slope! I live quite far up north so of course there will be a bunch of Rocotos here. Most of them are already started and are anywhere between the 1st pr of true leaves (most of them) -- 5-6 pr of leaves (only one of them) stage. This one is a particularly hairy one: Here's my Giant Rocoto that has already been eaten up by thrips when it had just 2 pairs of true leaves, lost those 2 pairs of leaves, but now seems to be growing it out: and a closeup: I'll also grow a couple of F1 & F2 crosses (chinense, frutescens x chinense and chinense x baccatum) that have been generously provided by forum members on here and through...

So I guess it is about damn time I started a grow log! Not a whole lot going on at the ranch :shh: but hopefully that will change soon. I grow peppers all year around outdoors. I live on the central east coast of Florida. It has many ups and downs but more ups :fireball: . Bugs such as mites and aphids are always a problem for me. Over the years I am getting better at diagnosing them at a early stage . This Christmas I was lucky enough to have santa bring me an aerogarden and some how managed to make it's nesting place on my kitchen table. I know this is short lived and I will need to find a safer resting spot for it. Here is a pic of my outdoor operation. Most of these plants are between 8 months or older. They look very...

I have a love of hot and spicy foods and with a visit to the eden project UK which are artificial bio-domes (pictures below of eden project) last year and looking at the variety of chillies there are. I never really realised the amount that there was. at the end of my visit I was inspired and decided to purchase some packs of seeds from the shop they had and give it ago. The types I purchased Early Jalapeno, Pencil Cayenne and Prairie Fire. I was eagerly awaiting as I wanted to germinate the seeds. I did my reasearch and it seemed that UK growers would start...

Big Kahuna · Dec 12, 2014

Starting early this year, got my first round of seeds sown on Nov 22nd, planning on sowing the second round in Jan. Sowed 24 varieties, one 8oz cup per variety, two seeds per cup. Round two will be another 24 varieties. Didn't get my first hook until day 10 and was starting to think I'd done something wrong, but by day 19 I had 47/48 seeds come up (a few were helmet heads and were pulled). I will thin them to one per cup over the weekend. All seeds seems to be doing OK, apart from the 7-pot yellow, which is runty and slightly yellow. In hindsight, I think the slow initial germ time was because the soil was a little on the dry side for the first week. My seed starting mix was 4 parts MG potting soil, 1 part vermiculite, 1 part...

Geonerd · Nov 29, 2014

After resisting the urge for the last month, the unusually warm weather we've been enjoying has finally overcome any common sense I may posses. :crazy: Here I am planting seeds a a month or two earlier than necessary. I know the plants won't grow wildly over the winter, but with frequent sunny days in the 60s and 70s, they should do OK. So long as they don't outgrow a ~5 inch pot, shuttling them in and out during freezing weather won't be a problem. Baccatum, baccatum, which baccatum? OK, got it down to six.

So, I got me one of them heated propagator thingimadoobawackies and popped in 3 Habanero Orange seeds and 3 Whippets Tails for a test. The Hab's decided to work it out.
