tsurrie's annums (and couple chinenses) grow 2014
So, here they are ... my babies... unknown Cayennes (someone in I.D. section says it's similar to Hot Portugal), Bolivian Rainbows, Goatsweeds, As chillies, Bolgarian Carrots and some non-hots even, for my wife and friends...   I planted the first seeds in late january, the next ones in the middle of february... and in about three weeks from now, they're going out... it all depends on the weather forecast...             for the last time... this years hottest is ... goatsweed.... but for next year I promised myself some superhots... moruga, reapers, bhuts..... whatever I'll decide to get by the end of the year... what do you think?   EDIT: I decided later to get two superhots this season and now I'm growing also Bhut Jolokia and...
First off, Happy Holidays everyone! Now that I have a little time, I thought I'd start a glog.   The backstory:  My last season sucked. Straight up. 10 plants. Averaged 1 pod a plant. Then I found this place. THEN I had to wait months to put all the tips I found to work. Suffice to say, I'm rearing to get going! Hope I don't mess it up! Hey all! This is my rookie blog, and here is my growlist: C. Chinense Orange Habanero (Trade Wind Seeds) Datil (Trade Wind Seeds) Trinidad Cola Bean (cmpman1974) Trinidad Gold Bean (cmpman1974) Mako akokɔsrade (Pepper Lover) Trinidad Scotch Bonnet, Brown (Pepper Lover) Trinidad Scotch Bonnet, Red (Pepper Lover) C.

It's Always Sunny in Singapore
Can't really call this a grow log as most often I forgot/too lazy/busy to take photos of my plants growing up. So more like a collection of some photos of my chili plants (mostly pods) from past and present.   I started growing chili indoor when I was in college, like a pot or two (not sure that even counts). My serious chili growing started only 3 years back. As I live in apartment, most of my plants are grown in pots on my balcony. I grow many other (non-chili) plants as well, including rice paddy.   This is where the magic happens....     I will start with the past and these are some of my chili plants that are in a better place now.   Demon F1 (Thailand): my favourite of all, the most productive plant I ever had. It just gave up...
caveman's hot pepper and spice grow
Hello everyone! I have decided to put my efforts into growing some hot peppers while I am out of work waiting on surgery. I severed my radial nerve at my job last November and will be having surgery done soon. Anyways I have been a gardener for a long time and I worked professionally at my university for seven years. Following the forums here and there until I decided to sit down here at THP to plant my roots. A little about the grow: I current have germinated several red and yellow ghost chilies that I received last year from a friend out of state. Last week I received in the mail twenty or so Carolina reaper seeds from puckerbutt pepper company. Next week I should be receiving several more strains, My grow list consists of 7 pot...
AZ noob : Diary of first grow.
Well after seeing Paul Ts videos of him eating supers I just had to try some so I ordered a mixed box from a US grower. I did eat a whole bunch but I ended up dehydrating them...after removing the seeds from about 4-5 of each...which was painful...don't ask :) I planted about 6 seeds and 4 came up...after about 2 weeks of growth I put the biggest one in a nice new Powergrower. Here it is after ~90 days. And at 100. And at 110 with first flowers. And lastly from yesterday at ~120 days with first pods. I must say it has been an incredible journey so far... I just hope its getting enough sun for the pods to grow and ripen...time will tell. Cheers.

Spicy Chickens MMXIV Glog - Hobby Grow
    This years grow will be somewhat disappointing comparatively speaking, my wife and I decided last night to only plant the circle raised beds this year. Each bed holds 12 plants conservatively X 20 will only be 240 plants; all Reapers and for no particular reason; just to have something growing. Some of you may have seen my thread in the Lounge about a barn conversion and this will take priority over the dedication it take to grow our normal thousands of plants. ;-(   We did plant 2548 reaper seeds, we will transplant what germinates and try to sell locally anything over 240 All of the plants will be topped and stripped this year again, so if you are interested in that stay tuned.   Once again I may not have time to respond to all of...
Peter's 2014 Grow Log
I planted these seeds last night.  I soaked them in a diluted tea solution for a few hours.   7-pot Brainstrain - Red x 4 7-Pot Primo x 2 Brown Congo x 2 Jalepeno x 3 Naga Morich x 4 Peter Pepper x 2 Reaper x 4 Red Bhut x 4 Serrano x 3 Trinidad 7-pod Brainstrain - Yellow x 2 White Yucatan Habanero x 2 Yellow Jellybean x 4   Should be 36 plants total, but I planted 3 seeds for each one, will clip the smaller ones. One of the Serrano's bounced into the Peter Pepper tray. I think I got the right one back out, but they looked almost identical. So there might be a surprise later.        I converted an old turtle tank for keeping the seeds warm. There is a heat pad underneath the tray. The light is an aquarium light used for growing aquatic...
Trent's 2014 Grow Log - COLD COLD COLD
Figure I'll keep track 2014 on here. At least then all my data will be in one place instead of scattered around on slips of paper.   First; PSA.   I'll *never* use the Jiffy starting pods / soil again.   I lost 95% of the plants in these two trays:     The roots wouldn't form. They couldn't get any nutrients out of the soil, whatsoever, and tried to suck what they could from the layers of paper.    Burpee trays with compressed peat were planted 3 weeks later and within 3 weeks were quadruple in size.   Finished transplanting all sprouts on Saturday (4-5-2014).       I might lose a couple transplants but here's the current count (all in 3" paper cups)   7 pod Barrackpore - qty 6 7 pod Brain Strain, Yellow - qty 5  7 pod Brain Strain...

Essegi 2014: 1st grow! Winter is coming.
Ok, today i decided to plant seeds. First of all i want to thank who helped me in a thread and Sarge in particular that helped me to decide what to do! :D And Lonewolf from pepperfriends forum that has helped me a lot! My list, all from Semillas, begin of september 2013:   Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Red HP22B Trinidad Douglah Chocolate Bhut Jolokia Fatalii Fatalii White Ferenc Tender I've planted all but Ferenc Tender seeds, i'll plant them next month or in beginning of March. If i'll plant them. 11 per type. I've treated seeds for 15 mins in a 3% bleach solution then i washed them very well in water before planting. During that process i lost 1 seed of Trinidad Douglah and 3 of Chocoloate Bhut Jolokia (i suppose 2 of that lost seeds...
miguelovic 2014 - A Greenhorns Trip into Organics
Hello all from the West Coast of Canada!   Usually a wordless forum lurker, but this place has de-shelled me a bit. I know a few of you so far and am looking forward to meeting, learning and growing along with everyone else. There is a hell of a lot of experience in one place and your strain lists are mind boggling :) Hehe already reminds me of the Mag   By way of an introduction, a rambling monologue.   I've always had a bit of a taste for firey foods, but what really sparked it off was a trip down island one year to a Goat Roofed farmers market. After an hour in front of the largest collection of hot sauces I had ever seen, I finally made a choice and headed to the register.   Somewhat confident in my choice, I double checked with the...
Gassy's new glog thing
Intros... something I'm not good at. Instead I'm only giving the quick low-down this time ('cause it's my glog and I can :D). Basically, I've started this season with a whole bunch of hybrids that I've been playing around with and will be moving on to C. chinense and some wild species very soon, followed not long after by everything else. I have no final list or anything at this point and as usual I will probably just post about different varieties as they come and grow. Due to various distractions and extreme weather last season, the dismal season that was, I didn't have much to write home about and hence why I wasn't around here much. If things end up going down the gurgler again and I crack another nana and abruptly stop posting...
Windchicken 2014
Got some sheet pots in from Grower Supply a couple days ago. I got this type so I could pull out the individual containers and replace them if need be, and they fit perfectly in my 11" x 22" Permanest Trays. Anybody in NW Louisiana need a couple of these? If I keep growing the same size garden every season these sheets should last me around 12 years:     These are the only C. chinense I'm growing this year: The NagaBrain, now in its F3 generation, is the happy accident of Florida THP mentor and all-around good guy romy6; seeds for the F2 Chocolate NagaBrain are from the talented and skillful Florida grower Tmudder; Bonda Ma Jacques x 7 Pot Yellow, the F3 generation, is the creation of the THP breeding wizard Spicegeist; Both 7 Pot...
Virgin Hot Head grow *WE GOT PODS!!*
This is my first year growing, and will be doing it all indoors. Plants have seeded so far are... Prik Chi Faa Santa Fe Grandes  Carolina Reapers Chocolate Habanaros   This will be it till January since my indoor grow box that is still in the works of being completed is only 6x3.   I also have 2 cucumber plants that I was thinking about doing indoors separately, but I think I will just end up taking to a buddies house
Last season was full of disappointment but a strong learning experience. Ebay had gotten me enticed by WORLDS HOTTEST PEPPER SEEEDS. Those bell peppers I received were not hot at all :P. I did however grow some very delicious cayenne pepper plants that turned out well as well as some tomatoes. On to new beginnings I invested in a 4 bulb t5 HO system and did lots of research and buying and trading seeds here on THP. The rest is history. The knowledge this community has given me is a great and I can only learn more with experience.    I started this season with 40 varieties in mind: My final grow list includes: Thanks to all who sold and or traded with me   Reaper-smokemaster Reaper-Ochocinco Lightning mix-aji joe Sepia-D BULL prik yee- D...
seacowboy 2014
Getting a late start on the glog here as was the case with starting my seeds as well.  Definetly learned a lot from last year and have tried to use that to make things better for this year, minus the later than planned start I am optimistic with how things are looking right now.  Just like last year I will be using my backyard garden for in ground plants along with some air pots and bags, then another batch of plants will be down at my hunting camp.  Differences for this year are using all Pro Mix HP in containers along with digging out each hole for all the in ground plants with a post hole digger to about 12" deep and mixing that in to the soil. Here at the house I have done away with other veggies since the deer demolished them just...
Jeff H's 2014 glog- Season ending harvest pics.
Okay, time to kick this growing year off. First a pic from last year of the hydroponic scorpion right before I added it to the compost pile. The plant was so productive with 4 gallon freezer bags stuffed plus more already dried that not only did I decide to not overwinter it, but TSBTs won't be on the grow list next year. This was truly a beast and by far my most productive plant. IIRC, it was over 5' tall and just about as wide when hte branches were heavy with pods.   It was started about this time last year, so it is about time to start some of those pesky slower growing plants if I want them this big next year.       All good things come to an end. The plants will be chopped up and mixed with the leaves for compost.         Okay...
First year growing - glog
Hi. My name is Jacob, and I'm a student living in Denmark. This year I decided I'd finally act on my interest of homegrown plants.   I will walk you through some of my experiences of my first year of growing chilies, and then continue updating as it progresses. I do this partly because you might find it interesting, partly because I wish to remember and learn what I can from my mistakes. I have been browsing your forum a lot, and already learned a great many things! I will focus on HOW I grew these plants, and how they reacted to various changes.   25/2-2014 The beginning. The first seeds sprouted after just a few days. I had put them in some sphagnum (40 liters for 2 €). Kept the dirt moist, and at ~25 Celsius.   Grow list: (supplied...
Tick's 2014
Hi all,   This year's grow list is far from certain but I hope to try some new and flavorful peppers, choose some new favorites to keep growing, see some interesting results from last year's crosses and make a few new hybrids.   I have plants overwintering in 3 locations, two of which are far from ideal (light, temp, etc.)  and I have been checking on my main group of plants only about once a week.so they are not in the best condition.  I am not sure that I will have the time to do as much gardening as well, but here's what I have "growing" at the moment:   Strains started last summer:   Brain Strains Monster Nagas 7 pot originals Datils (1 of which was started earlier and is fairly big though something odd is happening to the flower...
Poypoy's 2014 Grow Log - Flowers and Round 2 Sown
Last night I started my Pubescens so I thought it was about time to get things rolling again here.  This is what I started:   Brown Rocoto Cherry Rocoto Giant Mexican Rocoto Rocoto CAP 217 Red Rocoto Yellow Rocoto Manzano (from Smokemaster)   I did cheat the season a little bit and started some Scotch Bonnets, Goat Peppers, and MOA's a few months ago.  I just looked and my pictures are from a month ago but I can still give you a little pepper plant porn :)   I am going to start with the one plant that is a little bit sickly, just to get it out of the way.   The only reason I haven't chopped it is I want to make sure I get some early season MOA's.   A healthier MOA   Bahamian Goat Pepper   Another Bahamian Goat Pepper   The best...
Spankyscolts 2014 GLOG Season 3
Well folks here we are again at the dawn of another growing season . For me this is a rubber match year of sorts, you see the first year we were wildly successful then after my grow partner passed I was indecisive about growing again but after multiple mind changes I started too late and was a bit too ambitious as a result I had a bad year, it started with an aphid outbreak and ended with many green pods even the ones that did ripen weren't of the quality that I expect so that brings us to this year I have another partner in that he grows half of what we have at his place, we share resources and such but are otherwise seperate. I also decided to limit what I grow instead of trying to grow out 40-50 strains I settled on 12 at first but...
Intending to start 64 cells this weekend (a couple of weeks late).  Will put 2-3 seeds in each cell and see what happens.  Here's what I think I will start with (number of cells):   7 Pot Barrackpore, Chocolate X 2  (romy6) 7 Pot, Rennie, Brown X 2   (Buckeye Pepper Co.)

Mkbtank's first year of superhots
OK, so this was my first year growing superhots.  I live just outside of Philly.    I grew about 20 different peppers (Reapers, Moruga and trinidad scorpions, Lemon, ghosts, habanero, Bell, Jalepeno, etc).  I was thrilled with the garden but will likely not grow as many plants next year.  These guys were battling for sunlight and grew really tall and much less bushy than i would like.  I realize that they are not as neat as many of yours I bet, but I did not prune at all aside from Topping in the beginning (Which worked really well)    I did get great pods though,  so I'm not complaining.    I love to pickle them with other vegetables and will be doing my second batch this weekend i think.    Given the ratio of superhots now, I will...
First year growing peppers..
Hey guys, so i thought i would start a glog on my plants.. This is my first year growing peppers... I bought all these plants..I did not start them from seed.(dont hate me im new, lol) I had planned on doing so but have learnt iv got into pepper growing at the wrong time of year and have missed the window to grow from seed for this year. Im afraid this wont be as exciting as many other glogs, but hey, gotta start somewhere and people like pictures :)   This is my sweet long yellow pepper..not sure of the actual type, tag just says long sweet yellow.   this is my Habanero plant..   this is my cayenne plant this is my (actually my girl friends plant)..its called "capsicum chili fire", someone said it might actually be a "wildfire"...
Teurf 2014 - Grand Finale
Today is a good day to start my first grow log. I have a T5 2' 4 tube fixture by EnviroGro and a single CFL. My plan is to prep my plants for a summer grow starting around may-june in a community lot (prolly 10x20 or 20x20). I started with Miracle Gro potting soil but plan on changing for ProMix BX for next transplants. So far, I have used inorganic 10-10-10 all purpose fertilizer, but would like to go for organic in the future. Right now, I am in an apartment on limited shelf space.   So far,   Carribean Red Hab (Aug 1st) Thai Chili Red (Aug 1st)     (November 10ish) 7 pot Chaguanas 7 pot Barrackpore 7 pot Congo SR Gigantic 7 pot Original Red 7 pot Burgundy 7 pot Primo Red Bhut Jolokia Brown Moruga       To come: Aji Limon Aji...
Sluggy 2014 Glog
Early this year. Lots of Thai varieties, and superhots under DIY LED setup.  Much to my horror, an aphid infestation seemed to get worse and worse to the point of diaster, resulting in many, many casualties.  ARGH ! DAMN THOSE BUGS !!! I like to experiment with different light sources, indoors.  Left : Brain Strain grown under DIY led panel. Right : Brain Strain from the same batch of seeds, that grew under regular neon tubes (2 x 18 watts). The difference in size is quite dramatic.  3 x Brain Strains and 3 x Habanero Peach in natural light. I'm in hopes of crossing these this year, just to see what happens.  Overwintered Carolina Reaper, recovering from severe aphid damage. It's doing much better now the bugs are...
ChiliNoobs first glog [2014]
Hi all,   I figured I should start a glog this year to document all of the mistakes that I'm inevitably going to make.   This is my third year growing hot peppers, but only my second year growing from seed.  Last year I grew 30 plants but only managed to get pods on ½ of them.    I did pretty much everything wrong last year: Sowed seeds too late Didn’t give seedlings enough light Didn’t harden off the plants sufficiently Overwatered And so on… My goal for 2014 is to get ripe pods from every seedling that I plant out.   Here is my planting list (so far...):   (edit: excel sheet was messed up, it has been corrected and updated)   All seeds were sown into peat pellets with the exception of the Anaheim (paper towel method).  My plan is...
2014/2015 grow log - melbourne, victoria
I'm new here but I wanted to start a grow log to capture what I am doing at home (and hopefully improve next year). I've just bought my first home and have some small space to grow plants in.   As I go, if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it.   So far, I started germinating seeds about a month ago, and have the following plants: IMG_1430 by coontentment, on Flickr IMG_1428 by coontentment, on Flickr IMG_1431 by coontentment, on Flickr IMG_1427 by coontentment, on Flickr   Growing list: squash - 3 jaune et verte pumpkin - 3 buttercup, 3 potimarron, 1 golden nugget cucumbers - 6 double yield cucumbers, 2 potato cucumbers Capsicum - 1 sweet  eggplants - 5 rosa bianca, 4 snowy, 1 red, 5 ping tung, 5 thai long green chillis - 3 aji...
Wahlee's 2014
So, as I'm already growing Primo's, I thought I might as well start a new topic :party:   It's getting cold and dak and I haven't cleaned up outside yet, cause I can't be bothered gardening in this weather.   Anyway, here's my 2014 list. Will sow the rest at the end of november. Maybe one or two varieties will be added, but I think this is pretty much it.   1.    7-pod Primo                 2.    Trinidad Scorpion Yellow CARDI 3.    Datil                     4.    Aribibi Gusanito             5.    Aji Crystal                 6.    Habanero Mustard     7.    Habanero Peruvian White         8.    Habanero Guadalupe             9.    Papa Joe’s Scotch Bonnet         10.  Reaper                     11.  Bhut Jolokia Caramel            ...
Ferbys Glog 2014 - 30/3
Again this year I'll try to GLOG from my overcrowded dorm room. This year i will try to continue after april too ;) http://thehotpepper.com/topic/37141-overcrowded-danish-glog-more-pics-less-talk/?hl=%2Bovercrowded+%2Bdanish I am growing a lot of blushing and brown chinenses, a full list is still to come. (With blushing i mean e.g. CGN21500, peach color with a purple blush) Also i will grow my possibly crossed mini rocoto again, but since i did not isolate any flowers last year i will grow the F2 again this year. I also have a wild every year and i would like to thank John Fiedler (johnf here on thp) for the C. galapagoense seeds. I have been looking for C. flexuosum the whole last year but without succes. Maybe i'll find it this...

Hello Everyone!   Thought it would be a great idea to start my glog. :P I am going to start my seeds this year earlier, which will be the 31st of December. As the topic title indicates, this year is not going to be childplay, thanks to Rick (stickman) and Conor (Saugapepper) who shared some real kick-ass peppers with me. I am stil using my T5 lamp with a 59 cm long special grow-bulb (Osram Fluora 18W), but I am in the process to create a bigger grow box, to satisfy the needs of the plants. I know it is not the best setup, but according to my experience it is just enough till we get enough sunlight (from April). I am planning to sow 5 seeds per each variety, starting with the Chinenses first, using plant trays. ( I have the 7 Pot...
