3rrorist · Oct 27, 2013

Hello everyone, This past year was my first year gardening and I didn't want to stop just because my season is over. Initially I was just going to move two banana pepper plants indoors, but a friend's mom gave me some various other plants. I'm not sure what all of them are and need help with identification. My setup so far: Emergency mylar blankets iPower 400w light system Light timer 14" plant pot saucers Temp/humidity monitor I bought the light I'm using initially for just two plants, but since I have several more than that now, I guess I will need more light. Any suggestions for my lighting situation are welcome. I would like these plants to grow and fruit under the lights, so whatever I would need to get to accomplish that. ...

I know some of you guys have already started seeds for next year's grow, and I should have started the Manzano's a month ago, but I am still working on finalizing the grow list. Each year since I started growing peppers, the list has gotten bigger, and they have taken up a larger % of my vegetable growing space. I started working part-time 3 months ago, and I am a mother of three, so I am struggling with being realistic about how much time I can devote to pepper growing this coming season. Right now, I've got between 65 and 70 varieties on the list, and some of them I'd really like to have more than one plant. Last year, I ended up with about 50 varieties and a total of 75 plants. So you can see that I have some work to do before I...

georgej · Jan 21, 2013

Hey all. First time growing from seed. Thought I would start off with the grow box I built. My apartment is so cold that I've built this box to sit in the closet and using a heat mat To keep things warm throughout. Not enough space or money to do everything separate. So I built this box from Styrofoam and aluminium insulation sheeting. Managed to get everything from the 100 yen shop (japans version of the dollar store). Here's it from the outside, in the closet (no gay jokes please) : ] On the inside there's a 50w fluorescent strip light I got for free with my axolotl tank. It's suspended from bamboo canes on wires, so I can adjust the height of the light as well as hopefully flexing in an earthquake. To the left hand side, a small...

capsidadburn · Feb 20, 2013

Hello everybody! This year I will be growing much less than previous season's. I have been reducing my pepper growing for a couple years now. I am germinating under 20 varieties and a month later than last year. I have between 25 and 28 overwintered plants that are out currently, but not to far from the back door. I think I put the first plants in the ground last year late Feb. and early Mar. I do not expect to exceed 50 to 75 new starts this season. Along with my daughter I am growing some veggies, herbs, flowers, and a few fruit trees. I will do my best to keep the grow log lively and entertaining. As always lots of pictures of plants and pods, but also some cool nature, and a few extra distractions from time to time. Hope...

Devv · Mar 3, 2013

Weekend March 2-3: I’ve been working on the garden for years; it was dormant for a few years (like 10) while I changed careers. The base soil if you want to call it that is sand. I added heavy black dirt to the upper 2/3 years ago; I’ve since added heavy red dirt (clay ) to half of the lower 1/3. For two years straight I’ve added 4”s of compost to the upper 2/3 and this year 4”s to the bottom 1/3. I clean horse pens for the free manure; kitchen waste is added to the compost. Our property is on a slope and heavy rains cause erosion problems. Above the garden the land is heavily terraced to divert water runoff. Finished concreting the base of the fence, used 22 80lb bags, the Waskily Wabbits should be done, until they find another way in...

Just made it under the wire, 3 h 18 m to go to 2013 ;) New grow started using a light for the first time this year. Don't know how many will survive (fingers crossed) because my grow room is not a dedicated grow room & consequently the temp is not above 70. Click on pics for larger view. Not got this hosting site's procedures down yet :oops: C-Not Madballs Rusty 7-Pot (this one might not make it) & Dorset (R ) viper (L) & Douglah ( R) indian guhahati[sp.] over-wintering dorset (L) & red bhut (R )(no green on that one yet): whole crop (light raised to get pic)

DesertChris · Feb 28, 2013

Hi everyone, This is my grow log in the super windy, super hot, sometimes way too cold, rabbit and squirrel infested High Desert of Southern California. In addition, My gardening has to be done on a super tight budget, so lots of stuff is recycled or repurposed for gardening use...LOL I'll update my grow list as I add to it. We have 3 garden areas that we will be using this year. (one last year, and 2 more I am preparing) Most of the Peppers are already either Plants, Seedlings or in the germ trays :) Tomatoes, Tomatillos and Eggplants are Seedlings or Germinating... Special Thanks to "StupidJerk", "Pulpiteer", "Meinchoh", "AjiJoe" and "wayright" for kindly sharing so many wonderful seeds/varieties with me, and expanding my...

Pulpiteer · Feb 19, 2013

I've been meaning to get to this for quite some time. I've put off planting about as long as I can stand it, so in the next week or so I'll get seeds in the soil. Until then, I wanted to get the glog started for this year. I've been reading and learning about an alternative agriculture system called "permaculture" so I'm playing around with that. I hope to show not only the growth and cooking in this glog, but also some permaculture inspired stuff to share what I've been learning because it's pretty awesome. I looked over my 2012 beginning and I was way ahead last year, but then I ran out of room, so I've waited about a month in hope that will pay off. So a couple of things. First, I produced a bit of pepper jelly, hot sauce...

There are no gardening mistakes,only experiments." -- Janet Kilburn Phillips I love that quote and it will try my best to remember it through this new grow. So, I'm going with only 18 varities this year as we're looking at moving to a larger house if not buying this summer and I really don't want to have to try and haul a ton of plants when we do. the ones I've selected are: 1. 7 Pot Jonah---------------------------- Pic 1 2.

Salgar08 · Nov 28, 2013

Hi all, finally got round to snapping some of my plants. This is my first serious garden year, I grew a horrible tasting multi coloured ornamental and some sickly birds eye types a few years back. I'll call this a mini glog because I don't know how often I'll be updating it. Anyways on to the plants: This is the one that started it all, I got it online because I was buying a couple of coffee trees and wanted to pad out the order. It just said "habanero" on the site, no idea what kind. When it got here a couple of months ago it had 2 baby peppers on it which I pulled off to promote growth. They had no heat at all but maybe that's because they were so young. Untitled by salgar08, on Flickr These are the seedlings still in...

coheed196 · Nov 7, 2013

So my 2013 plants are still outside and producing but I have started a few different seeds to grow indoors through the winter. I also realized that I had basically everything I needed to build a DWC bucket so I jumped into that as well. Anyways here's just some general pictures of some of the more rare/interesting things I've got growing now. First is the 007 Butch T MA Daisy Cutter (yes I intentionally cut some of the leaves off) Hydro Daisy Cutter Bhut Jolokia Light Green (from Bjarne) Bubblegum 7 Bubblegum #2 Naga Suomi X Pimenta De Neyde Bhut Orange Copenhagen B.O.C #2 That's basically it.

illWill · Sep 12, 2013

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...

HabaneroHead · Apr 11, 2013

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...

hottoddy · Jan 29, 2013

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.

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.

Spicy Chicken · Feb 10, 2013

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

President Trump · Aug 25, 2013

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...

nee · Jul 16, 2013

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...

patrick · Dec 30, 2012

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! 7 Pot Barrackpore 7 Pot BS, Orange 7 Pot BS, Red 7 Pot BS, Yellow 7 Pot Bubblegum 7 Pot Primo 7 Pot Rennie 7 Pot White Antillies Fire Bengle Naga Bhut Jokokia, Chocolate Bhut Jolokia, Caramel Bonda Ma Jacque Carolina Reaper C.

GA Growhead · Nov 12, 2012

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.

3/5King · Jan 31, 2013

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...

cmpman1974 · Mar 11, 2013

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

Dshlogg · Jan 31, 2013

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...

JJJessee · Feb 8, 2013

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...

SadisticPeppers · Sep 18, 2013

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 Red TS Moruga x25 Red 7Pot "Brain Strain" x25 Red TS Butch T x25 Red 7Pot "Jonah" x12 Red 7Pot "Primo" x13 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.

MeatHead1313 · Sep 15, 2013

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...

StupidJerk · Dec 24, 2012

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) 7 Pot Douglah 7 Pot Jonah (Denniz) 7 Pot Primo (socalchilehead) 7 Pot Red (Denniz) 7 Pot SR Congo (socalchilehead) 7 Pot Yellow Bahamian Goat Pepper (socalchilehead) Biker Billy Jalapeno (ajijoe) Black Pearl Black Cobra (smokemaster) Bhut Jolokia Butch T (Denniz) Butch T x Douglah (Denniz) Carolina Reaper Cherry Chile Tepin...

P. Dreadie · Feb 21, 2013

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...

HillBilly Jeff · Sep 1, 2012

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 Hot Peppers 7 Pod Yellow: One Plant 7 Pod: One Plant 7 Pod Brain Strain: Three Plants 7 Pod Burgandy: Three Plants 7 Pod Chaguanas: One plant Aji Amarillo: One Plant Aji Chinchi Amarillo: One Plant Assam: Three plants Bhut Jolokia: Three Plants...

3rrorist · Jul 20, 2013

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...

Jeff H · Oct 3, 2012

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...
