Little late getting this posted, but better late than never. Most were started in early February. I ordered another 20 varieties late and started them in early March. Plants are looking very healthy now and getting almost too big for their homes. No room to pot up indoors, so I am hoping to get them in the ground in about 10 days or so. Have spots in the group prepped for 92 plants. Might stick a few of the extras in pots or some obscure corner of the yard.

With Spring officially arriving I have kicked off the season a couple of seeds from a Red Rocoto pod that found its way to me. The seeds are currently soaking in distilled water after being dipped in H2O2 solution for a few minutes.
Many of the plants from previous season remain. The vast majority of the mature non C. Pubescens plants have not regrown thus far. As of Friday I have one Not Locato (plant #2) in bloom with the other (plant #1) developing buds. Today marks the first day an orange Rocoto plant in the garden has re-entered bloom.

Hello guys, i've started my 2014 cultivation two weeks ago (more or less). I haven't space enough to grow all the varieties that i'd like (i haven't got any garden) therefore the choice of the variety to grow have been very hard.
That's the final list that i "built":
C. Chinenese:

- 7 pot Brain strain
- 7 Madballz
- 7 pot Bubblegum (still in germbox)

OK folks I am here with my later then late 2014 grow. My goal is too get a few pods off each of 10 different plants.
I have in the germination bed 5 of each of the following,
Jamaican Hot chocolate 2/5
Peach Bhut 3/5
HP22b (reapers) 1/5
chocolate Bhut 3/5
Peach Hab 3/5
7-Pot Joanna 2/5
Trinidad Scorp M 5/5
Chocolate Hab 4/5
and 3 of the following
Tabasco 2/3
cayenne 2/3
I am using a dome with heat mat and plugs. Temp is set to 88 or so. sitting on a towl on the counter. When they start I will get the T5 HO light that sits on the dome and blast'em for a week or so 24/7...
So I'm attempting to grow my peppers in double 5 gallon buckets but what I'm looking for is a soil recipe from others that grow peppers in the same fashion.
Despite the big movement for this type growing I haven't found a lot of info on soil.
I hear you want a light soilless mixture.
I found these recipes
Recipe #1: Sphagnum Peat
70% Sphagnum Peat
20% Vermiculite
10% Perlite
Recipe #2: Sphagnum Peat and Coir
35% Sphagnum Peat
35% Coir
20% Vermiculite
10% Perlite
Recipe #3: Coir
70% Coir
30% Perlite
I have also read up about Pro-Mix a soilless all in one. I'm not sure which way is cheaper.
Of I make one of the homemade mixture should I add dolomite to the top several inches of the soil and a ring of fertilizer...
The story so far...
I guess we can call this my 2014 glog, but truthfully this started back in late December, 2011. That was when I started to get serious (lol) about gardening. Along with my in-ground garden of peas, tomatoes, chard, beans, squash etc., I had eight peppers planted in 5 gallon buckets, four of which I overwintered. Last year I expanded my garden (I have a REALLY cool landlord - as long as I feed his jalapeño jelly addiction). I added four 4'x8' raised beds and grew 40 pepper plants. Of those, I kept the same four from the year before and added another nine. Also, as an experiment, I started six seedlings in August to get a head start on this season.
This brings us to today.
Back row (white bucket): red...
Here's my preliminary list for 2014 with estimated counts. I hope to get seeds started very shortly, but am still waiting on a few from Buckeye. I am moving out-of-state next month, and plan to haul the seedlings in large tupperware bins. It's a 7 hour drive. I'm anxious to see if "Treasure Valley" Idaho holds promise as a superior growing environment. Wish me luck!

Thought I'd join everyone in on the glogging, as it would also help me remember what I did when and how the plants were doing at a specific point in time.
A little late in the season, but I'm starting some plants to get a good head start for 2015 (maybe a little too early?)
^--The Incubator. 75-80F at night, 80-90F during the day. 2x 36W 3250 lumens F48T8 tubes (1x 65k, 1x 40k)
To the right, a bunch of 2.5w old habaneros desperately trying to crowd each other out. Chocolate bhuts and red bhuts (4ea, est 2w old) in the backdrop. The seed source wasn't reliable, but at least they don't look like annuums so far. And two queen victoria pineapple crowns I added in hope they would root (not rot). The empty space in the back is where...
Hi folks.
Last couple years I've obtained seeds from some members here. Thanks to griff87, cmpman1974, inolan22!!
This year will be my second grow. Last year I had decent success. Yielded about 10 large plastic pasta strainers full of peppers from about 80 plants in 5 gallon buckets and some (10ish) in raised beds. Choc habs, ghosts, reapers, butch t's, carrib reds, red brain strains, moruga trin scorps. I made a couple huge batches of sauce but most of my peppers are destined for powders.
The glass viles made for great gifts this Christmas. Last year I bought a bunch of indoor equipment. 1k watt digital ballast and 8x8 grow tent, ventilation and nice hood. Living in the Portland OR area, sun can be scarce. Last...
Not really sure what all should be included in these and what not but here's my go at it. I will get an actual list of everything growing already, and everything to addto a bit later. For now, the plants I have going at the moment. Some plants are a bit droopy because they are thirsty. I like to let them droop a bit before giving them a drink. The ones I have growing now were started out of boredom and to test some T8 lights. Iam planning on chopping a few of these in half and trimming them up and keep them alive until they can go out mid April.
A lot of seeds that will make this grow possible came from folks here on THP. I would like to thank Wayright, Romy6, Buckeye Pepper Company, Denniz, Jerrymart, Dale Baker, Rebelgrower3...
2014 is here, and it behooves us chileheads to get our grow on once again. I had planned on growing a smaller number of varieties this year, with more plants per variety . . . but there are so many to try. I will be at least starting several varieties this year (several friends have expressed interest in some plants if I start them).
Grow list:
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
Yellow 7 Pot, Large
Charapita Yellow
Jimmy Nardello
Black Pearl
Thai (coworker gave seeds, not sure variety)
Aji Limon
Manzano
so far . . .
Hey guys. Really wanted to grow some hot peppers this year. Decided to order some seeds off amazon, and sure enough they germinated within 10 days using the wet paper towel method. So far, these guys have been alive for 12 days and are out on the back deck soaking up the Georgia sun.
Really hope to track the progress even further and get some really nice, mean, looking peppers !
well 2013 was just alright nothign special, just 6 reaper plants and a reg bhut. my other hobbies took away from growing. so i live 3 min from the course and our yard gets much better sun for most of the day. 3-4 weeks ago i cut 5 reapers back and 6 weeks ago the bhut was cut back, so i should have some nice plants this year. i will also be sprouting 5-6 other plants this year(not sure what they will be quite yet, we are still unpacking) so unlike last year, this will contain many many more pictures of the plants, pods!
Winter is on its way out so it's time to start a glog for the new growing season.
Haven't been online for the last few months and haven't had time for chillies. These last 8 years or so and especially this winter life has thrown some nasty crap my way. It's taken all my attention but things should be looking up soon. Can't talk details but you know that film the Shawshank Redemption, when he realises that the wall of the cell is soft and can be tunnelled through? (I think you only see that in a flashback later but..) I've just had that moment. There is still a lot of work and a very long crawl through a shit filled pipe to come, but the solution has been found.
Anyway, I won't have enough time for chilles this season so I'm...
Hey everyone...
This is the thread where all the growers will be posting their GLOG of the JIGSAW pepper from seeds they got for FREE from me in this thread.....

Hello!
This spring marks my first attempt at a serious grow. I've been reading and studying on Caspicums and hoping to grow a large patch of plants.
I am actually 4 monthes into the grow, I started back in January. I think I will post a few pictures of the process so far and hopefully each picture is worth 1000 words.
Back in January I ordered seeds from Pepper Joe's, mostly a mix of Jalapeno, Habanero and a few exotics (Bhut Jolokia, Fatalii).
I picked a mix of 15 varieties to grow, with a total of 127 seeds.
January 21st was the start, where I soaked seeds overnight before putting them in rockwool blocks. I tried adjusting the pH with lemon as suggested but since I used the liquid pH test I'm sure it wasnt very accurate. I wanted to...
So my 2012-2013 season has offically come to a close. All of my plants are now composting with the exception of one plant. I picked the final 3 pods off of my 7 Pot Brown this weekend. Potted the mother down to a 3 gallon pot and gave her a haircut. She's in her new home for the winter. Crossing my fingers as this is my first time to try overwintering a plant.
I will be back on in a bit to post my grow list for 2014.
There won't be much activity on this glog until mid-late January. That's when I'll be starting my Chinenses.
Stay tuned...
This is the 1st wave of my 2014 grow. (maybe half) It consists of my super hots, wilds? long season chilis and some interesting throw ins. I will update with suppliment list when available. Initial planting will begin sometime 12-25-13.

Hi all!
Relatively new grower here in Sweden doing my first grow from seed this year. Some of it will be retrospective due to the fact that I did not find this excellent forum until a little while ago!
I live in the middle of the capital of Sweden, Stockholm on top of a five story building. So it's a rather urban area to be growing vegetables in..
Combined with short summers and cold weather it is somewhat of a challenge.
I am growing the following this year;
-Chinenses-
Carolina reaper
Dorset naga reaper
White bhut jolokia
Hot paper lantern
Peito de moca
-Baccatums-
Hot lemon drop
Omnicolor
-Frutescens-
Dogo nyoni

Black pearl
Chinese golden dagger

Hello all,
This year is my first real hot pepper grow where I started most of my plants from seeds. I did run into a number of issues that slowed the growth of my plants. For starters, I tried to overwinter some Ghost Peppers and some Habaneros that I had purchased online. All of my OW's died. Lucky me, along with bringing in the OW's, I also brought in aphids. The aphids hit my seedlings hard. I tried Neem and it didn't work so well. I eventually put some netting up and purchased some ladybugs. They were awesome and took care of the aphids in National Geographic fashion. Eventually, the ladybugs all passed away. Not sure where all the ladybug carcasses went... :eek: Next, it seemed like fungus gnats became an issue. ...
Here we go again. Seems like it was only yesterday. I've recieved a lot of pods and seeds from great folks here. THP and those folks are awesome! I'll be growing most all of them as well as an order I just placed yesterday with Semillas.
I will seriously have to alter my logistics and layout to grow everything and keep it as asthetic but affordable as possible. Big problems; I need to trim my front yard trees to get more morning and mid day sun in the back. I really need to haul in new soil. Hello wheelbarrow and backpain. My city is currently in a stage 2 drought restrictions (once a week watering). I usually water with drip irrigation everyother day until summer forces me to each day. Barrel collection (which I've been...

Hey everyone! I'm back with something I've always wanted to do but have been putting it off for several years, an indoor hot pepper scrog. I've been busy with my greenhouse this year, remodeling my house, work (of course), going back to school full time and last but definitely not least entertaining a new woman. Cross my fingers this one works out, I'm 36 now and hoping for something to stick! lol .... The greenhouse has has been going well but I'm still working on getting it completely dialed in for my very tough climate (Flagstaff, AZ - 7,000' elevation).
Anyway, I had a few extras out in the greenhouse and the remodel on my garage is getting close to being done so I figured I'd give it a go. I had my pick between Pepper Guru's...
Hi guys,
I didnt have enough time to post my growlog on this website but I will try my best to keep it updated.
This year I have got 11 plants growring and most of them are super hots.
I used Biobizz lightmix soil and Flora Nova Bloom fertilizer. Unfortunately we had a couple of rainy days ( stormy weather , heavy rainfalls ) and my plants suffered a lot! Broken stems, some of them lost up to 80% of their leaves and thats why they are kinda small compared to my last years plants.
I also pruned my plants right after they started to grow in this Y-shape ( dont know how you call it in English ).
My plants are:
Aji White Fantasy , Scotch Bonnet Peach ( turned out to be a red one and looked more like a Habanero ) , Trinidad...
Hello~ this is my 4th season attempt to grow peppers. 13 I had an ok year but learned allot also. My best plant last season was a bhut jolikia red. It produced around 50 pods in a five gallon bucket. This year i have over 25 plants total from mild to wild.
I wanna post pictures.... Do i have to pay?
Ive planted some of my peppers in large 10-15 gallon pots. Im hoping to have hundreds of pods on some of my plants. Im gonna overwinter tge best this year. I overwintered an an orange hab from 12'-13' but it didnt preform that well. I think it put out 4 pods total ?!
I was planning on having a bunch of overs from last season including my top performing bhut but i brike my foot ladt september which made it impossible to do the basement...

Hey everyone,
Last night I dropped the first 48 seeds for the 2014 season. Over the past few weeks I have put together a grow area using t8's, metal shelving and some other make shift reflective materials I had around the house. I'm looking forward to this year as I am expanding my grow by about 4 times (I may have over done it but we will see).
Here is the home that the kids will be in for the next few months. I plan on adding more lighting on the shelve below the top one when I transfer the plants from solo cups to 1 gal containers.
And here are the kids waiting to emerge.
Here is my current grow list. This may expand if I get some more seeds.

Hi!
I've been mostly lurking this site for the past year trying to absorb the collective THP knowledge. This year I will be attempting to put it all to use as I start my first grow from seed.
I decided to start this glog in order to track my progress so that I can adjust for next year. The goal is to raise seed until plant out in containers (Zone 6b). I would also love any input and feedback that you have to offer, unlike my plants I am very green.
Grow List: All seeds were scraped from pods except for PepperJoe seeds.

The Germinator has been cleaned, I am using new trays for seed starting and Hoffman's Seed Starting Mix as my grow media...
If any of you decide to use Hoffman's Seed Starting Mix, be patient, it takes as much as 24 hours pre-soak to get this light weight mix totally wet...I have said it before and I will say it again...this is the cleanest seed starting mix I have ever used....clean and light weight means better root growth IMO..
All circuits and systems are a go on the germinator...am stabilizing the temperature for the next 24 hours...as you can see, the upper box is about 93F and the lower box is 85F...I have to vent the top to let both chambers reach...
Hi and greetings from Finland!
We are currently heading towards end of the growing season here in Finland, so my growlog won't be as complete as most of you others ;)
I've been growing peppers since 2003 and this year was supposed to be a "Season off growing peppers", but my good friends at a local nursery told me that was quite a bad idea, so I have some plants growing at that nursery greenhouse :D
Here's the local nursery (Taimimoisio) url. We accidentally bumbed into each other as I gave an interview on a local magazine some years ago, they were growing some peppers and they asked one of the nursery interns if he knew any "pepper experts". That intern recalled that I was interviewed recently on a local paper by his sister (who...
I figured I'd put as much information I can find in this thread, not only to make it easier for others to help me...but to maybe help other growers who are at the noob stage like I'm at. (Maybe I'll ask some of the dumb questions so they don't have to!)
This year I'm growing Serranos, Habaneros and Jalapenos...having started them all indoors under fluorescent lights on February 28th. Rather than bore everyone with pictures they've seen a million times of the seeding process, I decided to opt against posting them and just instead mention that I got WAY more seeds sprouting than I had allowed for and was dealing with multiple plants in each little Peat Pot we'd planted them in.
At about two months we transplanted the sprouts into...
2014 marks Burnin Bob's first year starting the World Famous Ghetto Garden from seed. Every year prior I've bought seedlings at my local nurseries. However, last year I got burned (no pun intended) by one place that sold me what were supposed to be Trinidad Scorpion Peppers but turned out to be some barely hot long pepper. So this year I got seeds from various sellers from ebay and am hoping to have a good season. The seeds I got this year are:
Carolina Reaper
Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
Cumari
Odham Indian
Thai Sun
Tepin
Bird's Eye
There are also some other random vegetables my girlfriend started such as cucumbers, zucchini, coneflower, milkweed, tomato, tomatillo, bell pepper, and jalepeno. You know, normal stuff!
Got a late...
