As a new member at THP, I feel like it is customary for me to showcase my grow :D (since I can't figure out how to post pictures on a new topic, to be continued in reply)
This is my first year growing peppers, aside from a few jalapeno plants in the garden in years passed. While visiting family in New Mexico, I stopped at a chile addict store. This purchase is what spawned my interest in chilies
I already had a 600w HPS and a nice little 4 foot T5 fixture. It was time to set up shop....
They started small, but.....
As the plants grew bigger.... so did my enthusiasm......
Currently, I am harvesting some of my first pods off of the plants in the HID room and I am starting some other varieties under my...

Hi Everyone!
I started my season quite early this year... I was making the same mistake...again, and managed to cook my seeds. Despite of that there were 2 Naga Morich seeds germinating,this is the reason I am calling them 'The Survivors'. :P
At the end of February I was on a business trip to London, my peppers germinated just before of that. When I returned two weeks later, the seedlings were still very small, no improvement was seen, and the leaves were almost completely purple. I was searching on the forum, and I arrived to two possible reasons:
- Suncald: well, it was snowing, and practically it was winter, I really doubt that
- Lack of Phosphorus: caused by the poor soil. Since mine was fine, it wasobviously caused by the too cool...
Here goes . . !
After reading this forum for the better part of a year, this is my first time attempting to germinate. For the past three or seasons, I picked up starts from local nurseries and farmer's market - each year picking up a few more. Last year I had about 15 plants and really caught the bug.
My seed list - many thanks to those forum members with the great SASBE offers!

Well THP, its that time of the year again. I've been anxiously awaiting to give life to these seeds that we all cherish so much. This year I'm gonna focus most of my grow towards Scotch Bonnets, with 14 different strains. Also have a few Supers and 7's with a few others as well. I still have 3 plants that have been overwintering and still doing good after another cutback and a bonide treatment for aphids. Heres the list :party:

Hello everyone.
Wasn't going to do a grow log this year, but then thought maybe someone could learn from my mistakes. ;o(
So here we go. last year I started my plants mid January and paid the price with mr frost, it was difficult watching everyone starting their plants.
Start off with the building of the new grow light boxes and maybe will get some germination going by tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping in! Cheers - Jeff
My superhot story started in late 2012. I was certain that the Mayan's were right and the world was going to end soon. To help ease my mind I decided to browse online for some seeds. I was on Baker Creek Seed companies page and I saw that they were selling ghost pepper seeds. I was like, "Cool!" I wanted to get some. I had never had anything hotter than a habanero before so I wanted to try growing some ghosts. I got to wondering if there was anything hotter than a ghost pepper so I googled it. Sure enough I found something hotter. Eventually I stumbled upon Pepper Joe's page. That's where I was first introduced to the Carolina Reaper. The "The NEW Worlds Hottest Champ as of the 8/27/12 Press Releases. It averaged 1,474,000 Scoville...
Hi all!
Sorry it's been so long since posting.....i keep meaning to, but then get sidetracked by something or other...but i thought i'd better start a glog for this year before i become sidetracked again!!
Sorry there's no pics as of yet, but they will follow in the next day or 2!
OK......
I started some seeds off about 6 or 7 weeks ago....but as we have a 2 year old here now i couldn't risk placing the germination tray on the modem as i did last year, so i purchased one of those germination trays that have heating included!
I must admit that i haven't gone too mad with the plants this year, as although it's gone past mid-winter here, i have a feeling that quite a few of my plants from last year are going to make it through the...
First off I would like to thank Millman for the inspiration to get off my duff and get the 2013 season started.
This list is probably not complete and I haven't figured out how many of each I'm going to grow. Or I should say attempt to grow. Me and Ma Nature ain't been seeing eye to eye lately. I'll be sacrificing some chickens or toads or what ever it takes to get her off my back soon. Burn some incense and do some chants? Convert to druidism? I'm open to suggestions. Anyway off to the list!

Seeing people already starting seeds gave me the bug. & I just didn't think watching our southern hemisphere friend's grows was going to fill that void. As my season comes to an end, i needed to do something. What? I am not sure, but here i am.
Say hello to orange primo from peter@semillas.de
Note: Updating this thread verses creating a new one. Growlist for 2013's outside down below
we're still Alive!.....now let's get back to growing peppers.
So I decided to start Peppin' Ain't Easy 2.0 instead of continuing last year’s Glog. This way everything can stay nice and tidy.
If you want to see my shenanigans from last season, CLICK http://thehotpepper....sy35kings-2012/
I’m excited…the season is upon us! (Well except for those that live on the other side of the hemisphere; you bastards have been growing for months!)(Mezo…lol)
Let’s see, where to start….well, I hope everyone’s year is starting out right. I know everyone’s year can’t be going well, so a prayer will go out to all of you that are having a not so good 2013. Me…I’m alive and still ambitious, so I’ll be alright.
On to the plants; well, I started...
Well, yes I have started pepper seedlings. A bit late and slow to report here, but no worries, Sprouts are under lights. I sowed a lot of seeds on 2/15. :) Pretty happy with overall germination so far, except for some of the wilds. I'm happy I have 3 Tovarii plants doing well though!
Chris
Hey THP. Well 2013 is upon us, time to start growing!
I picked 27 varieties to take up the bulk of my garden space. Mostly supers but also a couple cool varieties that aren't so hot. Anyway, I soaked my seeds in a weak herbal tea blend for 24 hours, rinsed them and they are now resting comfortably in my germination tank. I'm trying cotton make-up removal pads to keep them moist instead of paper towels. They seem to work great!
My tank consists of a plastic storage bin filled with water and a fish tank heater. The heater can take a little playing with to get the temps just right but once I find the sweet spot its perfectly constant. I then float my seeds in condiment cups on the warm water. It's really works.
I did have a few hiccups...
so last years grow came with ups.. and a LOT of downs....but it shall not slow me down... since being introduced to the AEROGARDEN (thanks alot PINOYPRIDE) i have yet to stop sowing seeds... so my early starts have already began for next year... i will do my best to label and keep track....Aerogarden #1---sowed 11/6/121Red FDA SB ( PIC1-seeds from this years pods)2.

So,I may as well grow them, eh?
I started back gardening last year, but I left it to my co-gardener mostly to come up with pepper plants. We had some Bells, and Cayenne, a Carrot pepper, a black Jap, Hungarian sweet, maybe a Bullnose, Then I bought a 4 pack each of Anaheims and Jimmy Nardellos. I set out a little Shoshito start in July and it had a lot of fruit considering. Nothing here to write home about. The Jimmy's did ok. 2 of the Anaheims weren't true (and a cow at half of one of them), one did ok. The last one I planted in a new asparagus bed and the first week some sucky bug drilled it right in forehead and wilted the top. I started to pull it out, but thought, "no harm to leave it to see what would happen". I pinched the wilt...
I began moving into the parentals' house in earnest this week, so I figured, while I moved my stuff in, why not let a bunch of seeds started. Here's the list of seeds I started:
Peach Ghost Scorpion x9
White Ghost Pepper x12
Orange Ghost Pepper x12
Purple Ghost Pepper x12
Red Ghost Pepper x25
Naga Morich x12
Jay's Ghost Scorpion x15

Yellow 7Pot "Brain Strain" x12
Yellow TS Butch T x12
Granted, it's pretty heavy on Ghost Peppers, but since I had so many of the colors, why not? That, and I have more than enough space in the backyard now. Here's to an awesome year, and since pretty much all these peppers (except for the Ghost...
Creating a placeholder glog, will update shortly with what seeds I have started already.
Hi all. This is my first year growing peppers, started with only 2 plants, and that quickly grew to more lol. Only have 6 plants at the moment due to lack of space, but we'll be looking for a new place in the new year, so hopefully will have a yard available soon! All plants are Bonnie plants purchased from Lowes and Walmart.
Sweet bell
Jalapeno
Orange habanero
Cayenne
And another jalapeno
Also have another orange hab, which I believe is actually a hybrid, 2 tomatoes and an eggplant. I've already learnt a lot so far, have been getting some decent hauls lately, and the plants are happy and healthy! Will definitely be getting bigger pots for next season though.
Seeing as I managed to successfully grow these peppers, I...
I think it is safe to say that my girlfriend now regrets bringing home a cayenne plant this July. It sparked an interest in me that has lead me to spend countless hours reading about gardening, filling the windows and balcony with plants and seedlings, purchasing a grow light, and ultimately joining a community garden. I've decided it is time I start documenting my journey.
Grow list:
7 Pot Congo Yellow (Denniz)

This a bit early for me to start a log , not much to say or show. But the weather is less than I'd like to see. I know I'm a whiner ... somewhere a pepperhead is looking at feet of snow and not just a few inches like me ... But I'm dreaming about better times .. pods pon de plants .. herbs for da pot ... tomatoes & greens for a salad.
Here's a few shot of things that have sprouted. A mixed batch of things. There should be more soon. This time I tried something a little different . I used those small 3oz bathroom solo cups to start my seeds in. The idea was to save space and soil as they germinated. Some always fail. I've always used 8 oz stryo cups but these look fine for where they are. Soon I'll up sizing they cups.
You may notice...
Not actually starting this yet. Just trying to get my thoughts together on what and how many I will be planting of everything. There is the possibility that there will be no cows here next year and the pastures will be made into corn fields. This would mean the barn lot will be free and empty. It grows some of the best grass on the farm and the barn does have a well and a pump already there. Could it be garden number 3??? Also contemplating enlarging the back garden again.
Seed list so far

Hello everyone, I'm new here and this is my first grow log.
This is my first year gardening in general and I have an awesome garden going right now, but this topic will focus on hot pepper seeds that were given to be by user megahot (thanks again!).
I am aware that it is too late in the season to start seeds and grow plants outdoors. I plan on germinating the seeds outdoors and allowing them to grow for a little while, then I will move them indoors under this light.
My first seed has germinated, a romy6 7 pod jonah (picture taken 07/20/2013)
(picture taken 07/20/2013)
I really enjoy this site and will keep you guys updated on my progress. I also welcome any advice.
Thanks
I just started my first jalapeno plant. put in the seeds yesterday. using general purpose vegetable miracle grow and seed starting store-bought potting soil in a 4" wide plastic pot with bottom-feed tray. any advice? remember i am new at all this, just starting to look into hydroponics, and plan on starting a hydro system. any fertilizer/ph/watering schedule/ temp/ nutrient/food advice would be greatly appreciated. im very excited to see how my first yeild turns out. i am thinking i might start my next few seeds on a wet tissue to let the seeds burst, and then plant the successful sprouters, and i will be keeping the seeds/plants growing in the same room as my reptiles, which is kept at approx 70-85*F ambient temperature, then moving...
So this is a little late in the year to start a glog, but what the heck, better late than never.
Last week I picked a few plants to take inside over the winter and I started a bunch of new seedlings that seem to be doing great.
Here we have a Hot paper lantern, and orange hab and two jalapenos. They were the only ones that made the cut to get taken to the new grow room. The paper lantern is a favorite because it is as hot as the orange hab, but without that hab flavor that I am not a huge fan of. I guess the only real reason the orange hab is here is if I decide to make a hot sauce over the winter and need a citrus tasting pepper. Other than that, I'm not a big fan. the japs were kept because the local grocery store can't seem to...
Well well well. Here we are again folks. Spent the last couple days getting everything all set up how i would like it to be (heat mat temps, lights hanging in right position, and the never ending task of finalizing a grow list. But i think ive done it...lol. i will be using a hydrofarm 4ft, 6 bulb, T5 fixture along with a heat mat set to88 F. I did not soak seeds overnight as i did last season so ill see if it makes a difference. Im putting litt. Ms. Oriah down for a nap at the moment but will post the final grow list here shortly
Pics to follow my friends.

OK, so I finally have the 16 plants I can fit in my growspace, so here's what it looks like. These are all at staggered stages of growth for now, but only by a few weeks at most, so once the most recent seedlings catch up, it should look more uniform. Once again, my grow is at my dad's place 20-25 min away from my home, so I only see my plants once a week due to 40 hours/week of work in another county, and having a wife and 6 year-old here at home. Hopefully I won't get swamped by life during harvest season again and let this glog go neglected like last year's did.
Again I'm using General Organics nutrients plus Scott's bone meal, and all these young plants are potted up in a 50/50 mix of Fafard Organic and Fox Farm Light Warrior. Once...
Wanted to do this for a while but haven't found the time, So testing..... trying to post a pic if it works I have a bunch more. Want to say thanks to jamie(romy6) for most of the super hot seeds.

Here's the start on my grow log. Well no pods yet but I have to start somewhere, and away we go!
The seeds in the containers are all c.chinense. They were dunked in a germinating solution for an over-nighter on December 1st.
This was the first phase of the germination process with plantings happening every 2 weeks through the month of January.
The annum species and the mild/medium strains will get planted late Jan through early Feb.
Most of these are "Super-hots.
Here's a shot from today, things are looking up and up.
Here's a unique looking seedling. It has 3 cotyledon's and a set of 3 true leaves. The seedling is a Trinidad Scorpion Green, seeds are from Chris (cc). I've seen the triple cotyledon with my Coronong's but not...
Well here we go again!! I'm finally starting to slow down a bit with work so I can start to concentrate more on growing some peppers. Cannot wait. In the next week or two I will be starting to germinate my seeds. I plan to more than double the plants I had last year. I plan to grow 20 plants in the backyard and 1 ornamental in the front yard.

Hello!
Im new posting here and I thought it would be nice to document some of the growing. I will start off with some photos of what I've started already to be ready for next season.

I'm going to be growing this pepper indoors and hydroponically in my room. The setup I will be using is going to be a DWC bubble bucket with a 250w MH for vegetative and a 250w HPS for flowering.
For those of you who don't know what a SCROG is, it stands for Screen of Green. It is a technique used by cannabis growers with the aim of increasing surface area and leveling the canopy. How one does it is to...

I've been kicking around doing a glog for about 2 months. There's so many great growers on here, that I don't have much to add. Trust me, no one will learn anything from me.

Got a devil rib pod sent to me and it tasted like grapes to me, so i put some seeds in dirt right away and now they popped up!
They will spend the next 6-7 months or so inside under MH and or CFL light, growing in coco fed with Aqua canna vega untill outdoor temps allow me to plant them in the poly tunnel!
