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. Here is the list of what I'm growing this year:
7 Pot Jonah (from my plants last year, seeds from romy6 previous year) (1)

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. Living far north making it a short season, even though we have long days with light in summer. This season I started sowing as late as april-may so this time around I want to be ready! :)
Here's some of the seeds that have sprouted:
Hot Banana
Naga Morich

Time to kick off my very first glog! This is going to be something special and the first time somebody has ever done something like this that is was well documented with plenty of high quality pictures! This glog will be periodical and less comprehensive than my glog over at xPonics, but you can still expect a lot of activity on here!
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...

Well I managed to totally ignore my grow this past year. Had some great harvest of some great types but didn't have a lot of time to get pictures up and stuff like that. 2013 will probably be more of the same with a daughter due at the end of Feb but I will try and keep it updated.

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. I've been taking some pics for myself, and I've decided in the interest of my own education and learning for the future, it's best to start one. So... Here it is

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!
When the ground almost gets dry enough to work, it rains again.
Plants are long past ready and beginning to get root bound.
More rain today. At least the SE no longer suffers from a drought.
Hi everyone,
Thought I would start a Glog after seeing Cartz's up in Brisbane.
I'm going to try an make this short and sweet. I am situated in Melbourne and had a great season which I didn't document last season. Some of my plants are still going due to the mild winter we are having.
So I have started my seeds for this season and had some early success with the Yellow 7 Pots (no doubt my favourite pepper) and Jalapenos (got to love them too). I am still waiting for some extra seed varieties from the US, I hope they get through customs???
Here are some pics of my first update:
Seeds started all together (2 Jalapenos already taken out due to getting leggy and needing light), using two different seed starting mediums for...
After the recent passing of my best friend and grow partner I almost decided not to grow anything this year but after much thought decided just this past weekend to drop some seeds and go forward with the season. I then wasn't sure I was going to keep a GLOG because of how busy things get, last year I struggled to keep up with it and at some point let it go altogether. Like my season I decided to go forward with a GLOG as well but will probability not update it as often. Besides my friends passing the place we rent developed a leak in the roof that leaked through the ceiling in the room I use to grow, and as of this posting it has still not completely repaired by our Landlord. I am getting a much later start than I prefer but it's like...
Hi All,
This will be my first glog here on TheHotPepper i grew some peppers last year mostly Bhut's , 7Pod, Orange Habanero. After meeting PeriPeri and obtaining some Butch-T X Bhut, Nagalah from him i have put those into the ground.
So my list for this year will be the following:
Carolina Reaper (Pepper Joe), (4 Sprouted)
Butch-T (Butch Taylor) MS, (1 Sprouted)
Naga Morich,( 5 Sprouted)
Moruga Scorpion, (4 Sprouted)
Butch-T X Bhut (5 Sprouted)
I will upload pictures in due course.
:)
So, after disaster in mid march where I overwatered and killed all my plants (except for 2: THSC Naga 7 and Chocolate Trinidad Scorpion), I began anew.
This time, determined to grow many more peppers than I would ever need.

Hi Guys :D
I'm kind of a newbie (I guess? :rolleyes: ) and i'm from Singapore (perfect conditions for growing peppers :D). This will be my second growing season as my first one isn't doing so well :(
This Time I got my seeds from Pepperlover.com and Judy gave me like 3 packets of seeds for freee :D
I will be growing Dorset Naga, 7 Pot Primo, 7 Pot Orange, 7 Pot Original Red, 7 Pot Brain Strain, Bhut Jolokia and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Butch T.
Here are all the seeds :
For the time being I'll be storing them in a plastic container :
I will be using this potting soil with some fish emulsion i bought from Malaysia :
Damm Photobucket not responding :(
I put the soil mixture in solo cups and put them in a container with...
Love the site and glogs here! bout time I created my own. Guess I'm starting this blog out on the left foot, since I'm kicking off with pics of my plants yet to meet real terra firma. Only 4 peppers, 2 maters, and a gaggle of cucs in the ground anyways. This will change in the next couple days.
Here's my potted hab I plan on OW. Putting out massive amounts of buds and branches, despite losing almost half it's stem and foliage to my inexperience and wind.
Base and stems:
First fruit I've seen, on a cherry mater plant:
Rest of the plants that need transplanting:
Pablanos putting out flowers despite stature. Just going with it.
Ok everyone,
I meant to post up pics from the when I first started my plants but tapatalk wont let me. I finally got my computer back so I can sit down and upload a couple pics. Id like some input and opinions of my progress with my plants. This is my second year growing pepper's and i am really looking forward to getting some pods. I am only growing 3 varieties Orange habanero, Numex twilight and jalapeño. I had some Aji amarillo and thai dragon plants but only did a couple of each and gave them to friends. How do I post pic's? I cant seem to figure it out on here.
Well, I'm continuing my glog here for 2013,
Most of my peppers from last year are still producing because we've had an unusually warm winter so far.
(it's 81 degrees out right now)
I ended up giving away a lot of pepper plants to friends this year, as I had a new roof put on the house and had to make room for the demolition. I still have 14 plants in nursery pots, 2 in terracotta and 3 in large grow tubs.
My most prolific producer has been Naga Morich which was no surprise. Tobago seasoning has been very good too!
I have been disappointed in the Trinidad red Hab, Bradley's Bahamian, BJ browns, and Brown 7 pot. I think I just started them too late, maybe they need larger containers. I'm going to step them up and see what happens.
On...
Hey THPers!
Just wanted to get my 2013 Grow Season off to a good start. I have begun doing some things and will try to backlog as much of what I did in the log here.
I built 3 4x6 Cedar Raised beds and have a handful of planters that I plan on using to get some more starts for the 2013 season. To fill my Raised beds I bought the following plants from CCN (Cross Country Nurseries in NJ) and have been babying them inside my house near a sliding door with good ambient light since its been real cold for the past 2 weeks.

Datil Sweet
Fatalii
Chocolate Hab
Jalapeno Jumbo

Over the past few weeks, I've pulled almost all of my chiles for the year. I'm down' to (8) 5 gallon pots of various varieties - had 40+ going. Picked these today - not a bad harvest of pods. They still have maybe between 10 and 30 or so pods on each left hanging - in various stages of ripeness. Next week they go down. A sad time in the backyard. Pictures are from the last 8 plants.
7 Pots, TScorpions, Turks Cap, Aji Limon:
well due to all my other hobbies, i did not get seeds started this year, and ll my plants dies over the winter. so i was not even going to grow any plants but could not not grow anyhting, so i got my hands on some reaper seedlings and jays peach bhut scorpions and a red bhut. the bhut is loaded with pods, 2 reaper pods(pods dont look the part) but they are looking good and hopefully i will get a few pods as i plan to overwinter(HAHAAH in SD) then and have a big grow next year!
red bhut
reapers
the peach bhut scorp need to be potted up so no pics yet
reaper pod
next year wil be a big grow with the big hydro going again to see if i can top 15lbs off 1 plant
My 2013 grow officially began 10/14/2012, when seeds hit soil. After seeing Fernando (SocalChilehead) growing in his greenhouse "sanctuary" and KiNGDeNNiZ continuing to start new growth in his AeroGarden, as well as the community HP22B grow thread already being 8 pages, I broke down and started my 2013 grow. I was going to limit it to 50 varieties, but that ended up being 64, 77 including the plants I want to save from 2012. If some varieties don't pop or I end up losing some along the way, I might still be down to 50 (or less!) in no time. The grow list with pop dates is at the bottom of this post.
Since I had plenty of seeds I wanted to try an experiment. Which is better for germination, soil or Rapid Rooters? I have two...
lost my old thread so here is an new/ updated one ;)
Starting with my Naga plants: No pods yet due to over spraying with insecticide which ultimately has damage the younger stems leaving them susceptible to scorching.
My three 2nd year Red Savina's are coming along well, I now have some normal sized pods growing through too. Earlier I had a problem with dwarf pods.
That is a pint bottle:
My Devils Rib is really turning into big plant, its the biggest chilli plant I've ever grown and to think this still has another 2.5 months or growing weather lol. Pods are now starting to grow on it too.
Hard to believe this Jalapeño is in its 4th year and still looking and fruiting so well :onfire:
Well I'm finally getting my glog started as you can see my photos are not the best.
Its been a lousy spring, it started out very cold and wet, we've had several storms and killer
winds my seedlings shrank from 120 to 85 then to 50.
I got all my seeds from a trade with 3/5King and CMP1974 thanks guys the peppers were great and I got enough seed to grow next year and share out seeds to anyone that might like some.
I'm having trouble cutting and pasting right now, but will have it fixed in a few ours and will have all the photos posted and yes if there's no photo it didn't happen.

I honestly wasn't counting on this many sprouting.
Hi,
My 2013 growing season is starting off on shaky ground, but hopefully the New England weather will warm up so I can get some huge plants from my overwintered survivors, select some nice F2 hybrids in my breeding attempts, and make more interesting crosses. Holding me back for the time being is a lot of shade (huge oak tree) in the backyard and somewhat limited space/resources. I’m also having to start seeds late and without dependable heat. Despite their being in a very cool basement, I was able to overwinter plants under 4 T8 lights. (Wish I had a warm window in addition to the lights, but that will have to wait). There was a aphid explosion and then flies and mold fed off the aphid waste. I finally controlled the...

As a newbie I appear to be quite impatient; waiting 4 weeks for germination on a heat mat with lights for hot peppers to germinate. I gave up on the peat pellets and decided to take a peak into each peat pot to see if there were anything germinating. Only two yellow bhuts and a black jalapeno germinated, so I moved them to regular soil and they are doing great. The rest of the peat pots I emptied into a large Ziploc bag and set it the shed. 1 week later I decide to use the peat in a soil mixture to plant some Serrano seeds and low and behold I had 4 pepper plants sitting at the top of that bag! No light, lots of moisture, colder temperatures (40-70) and in a Ziploc bag completely closed off! I also found several seeds deep in the...
So, figured it was about time to start this year's glog since my neighbor up in Amarillo started his this morning. Thanks for the inspiration P. Dreadie! Also, thanks to everyone who sent me pods and powders last year. It really helped in planning for 2013!
Most of my plants struggled through last year due to not enough direct sun syndrome. As you can see from this picture, I have quite a canopy of trees. I have trimmed back quite a bit this winter and will take as much as I can right before plant out. Also plan to have a few planters by the carport as well as an additional few plants behind the fence. (you can't even see the back fence in this picture there are too many trees.
So, anyway I have a few OW and a few new seedlings from...
Better late than never!
Life was a bit overwhelming this year and finally we had a lazy Sunday... so I thought I'd start my 2013 Glog. Besides work being crazy I got married in May, plus the honeymoon in July, thus the lack of time for posting on THP. So here we go... starting with the obligatory wedding picture.
Last year I grew 100% indoor, but decided this year to venture outdoors. I was offered some modest space in my wife's grandfather's garden, so I took him up on it. I also kept a bunch of plants in the tent inside, but they got so big I had to pot them up and put them outside at our place. Once things sorted themselves out I ended up with 17 great plants.
Here's the list:
Dutch Yellow x2
Caribbean Red or Jamaican Red...
This will be my second winter growing indoors, I'm kind of excited since I've expanded a bit since I first started. I'm using both aquaponics and hydroponics and probably a few soil plants as well. So, to start things off, I'll hopefully be the proud daddy of these seeds I'm working on germinating. The soil I'm starting them in is a compost blend that I've been recomposting for a few years and it usually does pretty well. You'll have to forgive me but everything I do is cheap and typically DIY but I'm hoping for some high quality results.
So to begin with, I already have hab oranges, thais, anaheims, orange bells, and hungarian waxes indoors, and I'm working on germinating these seeds currently
