Bhut_Trolokia · Mar 4, 2014

I'm trying to home grow some Adjuma Peppers and Jalapeno Peppers on the dirt cheap, to see whether I can get ready to grow superhots next season. About two weeks ago, I put some Adjuma Pepper seeds onto a damp coffee filter in a plastic container with a lid, as I did not have zip lock bags and thought it would be too much of a fuss to deal with seedlings in zip lock bags. Put it on the radiator on top of a folded towel to keep the maximum heat down. I tried this before, but it didn't work yet at that time. Well, now it seems things did work out and I have two seeds sprouting out and I imagine more will follow. So it's still a few days worth of waiting before I can transplant those two into soil. I also have Adjuma seeds in a...

hi everybody ! on the 20.12.2013 i planted 9 kinds of chili plants, two seeds each to kick off my little babies for 2014 as i didnt have any homegrown chilis last year, a terrible situation which had to be changed ! its a funny mix of peppers, most of them unknown and i got the seeds out of fresh pods i scavenged from a commercial grower (with permission ofcoz) last year and stored dry eversince, so here is what is in the mix, all pictures from the plants i took them from except for a "lemondrop" and a "mild habanero"

We are starting the New Year with a little run of freezing weather; lows in the 25˚F range at night. 1/1/13 - Soaked seeds 24+ hours, put into seed starting mix (BG, peat and perlite mix). The temp in the grow shelf about 72 degrees, the dome trays about 84 degrees. Here's the seed and overwinter list for this season: OW greenhouse plants.

Proud Marine Dad · Mar 31, 2014

Here's my Glog for this season. I don't grow a lot of peppers and usually have 10-12 plants each season. I received some seeds from a good member here San Patricio who was kind enough to share his seeds with me. Thanks my friend. I planted the super hots near the end of January as I put the lights on them for the first time February 1st. I am using the old shop light with standard T12 6500k lights in them about 2" above the plants. The super hots are: Chocolate Bhut, Chocolate Hab, Datil, Red Habanero and SB7J. This is them on 3-16-14. The Datil's are runts so far. Is that common?

scovilleADDICTION · Jan 22, 2014

:dance: Hey! Just made a start on the new growing season, hoping to do things much bigger and better than last year! I've just got 2 lots of seeds propagating so far, scotch bonnet and paper lantern habanero. I've got a few more packs of seeds to play with, Im limited on space as I live in a flat without any outside space but Im going to grow as much as I can. I've already cajoled a few friends to take on plants for me once I get some established. Its going to be fun! I still have 14 chocolate habanero plants I have (hopefully successfully :pray:) over-wintered from 2013, I got them in too late last year and therefore never fruiting. So hopefully they will be good in spring and kicking out plenty of pods later this year...

HolyP · Mar 25, 2014

Hi All, I have to start by saying that I am really enjoying this forum, the knowledge and general atmoshphere is great The combination of growing info + hot food is awsome. Going over threads here I got my mind set on a few varieties and made my first order from pepper Joe. ordered myself: CAROLINA REAPER PEPPER AKA HP22B BUTCH "T" TRINIDAD SCORPION CHOCOLATE HABANERO CORNO DI TORO Figured it's a nice start for my rookie year. Well... time passed by, i was reading more and more and all of a sudden i felt my order was inadequate. So i sent a mail to Peter at La Semillas and ordered myself: 7pot Primo 7pot Brainstrain Yellow Jalapeño Foodorama Scotch...

jb_orchidguy · Aug 2, 2014

So I've always liked hot sauce growing up. We always had the standard Tabasco sauce in the house. Friends would have Texas peat or the hot vinegar. When going out to wing places I would sample their hot flavored wings. I've heard about the hot peppers like the ghosts and others on the food network or other types of shows. Never actually sought them out. I knew you could order hot sauces mail order like Dave's insanity but never dreamed of the many many different types of sauces that were out there. While on a trip to NC with my family, I flipped through the advos in the Great Wolf Lodge's guest book and came across an add for a Jerky outlet. It was fathers day weekend and mu wife decided to stop on the way home to the jerky outlet. Not...

redbuddha's 2012 Straw Bale Garden: 3.15.12 Today was the first day of prep for my no till wheat straw garden for 2012. I'm planting mostly hot peppers and tomatoes, but there will be some cucurbits mixed in for good measure. I'm using fresh, "green" bales that have been stored out of the weather so I need to season them before planting. Here's the 11 day process: Days 1-3 – Water the bales twice daily to make sure they stay wet. Days 4-6 – Sprinkle a half cup of ammonium nitrate on the top of each bale and water it in. Days 7-9 – Cut the amount of ammonium nitrate back to a quarter cup a day. Day 10 – Water in a cup of 10-10-10 fertilizer on each bale. Day 11 – Start planting. Once the bales get...

Wesker95 · Jun 1, 2014

Last year I grew a bhut and an orange habenero plant. This year I expanded to 15 plants and I probably should have posted this months ago. Regardless, I wanted to share some pics with you guys, which were taken this morning. It's been a bummer. I've had a wicked aphid and spider mite infestation across multiple plants that I did not have to deal with last year. Think they were brought in with some brussel sprout seedlings I picked up from Lowe's. It's my first time combating pests since picking up the hobby and they're driving me nuts. Some of the plants have been damaged pretty badly. I've tried to prune and top the hell out of the damaged growth and now I am onto insecticidal soap. I'm going to continue growing until...

jcw10tc · Apr 30, 2014

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. 2014 List: 7 Pot Brain Strain 7 Pot Brain Strain Yellow 7 Pot Brown 7 Pot Burgundy 7 Pot Chaguanas 7 Pot Chocolate 7 Pot Congo SR Gigantic Yellow 7 Pot Douglah 7 Pot Jonah 7 Pot Primo 7 Pot SR-Strain 7 Pot White 7 Pot Yellow 7-Pot (Long, large) Antillais Carribbean...

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. 2012/2013 Season - Sprouted Capsicum Baccatum: Aji Omnicolor Blondie Capsicum Chinense: 7pot Yellow Biquinho Carmine Limón Capsicum Pubescens: Canario Rocoto Aji Largo Rocoto, Red...

Hello guys, i've started my 2014 cultivation two weeks ago (more or less).

Flomaster · Jul 27, 2014

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...

Hybrid Mode 01 · Jan 14, 2014

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.

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 !

spongey600 · Jan 26, 2014

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...

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...

Kapten Capsaicin · Aug 24, 2014

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 -Annums- Basket of fire Apache Black pearl Chinese golden dagger Black cobra/Goats weed -Pubes- Locato...
