Ok my friends, I decided to do a different GLOG this year :) I wont be going into anywhere NEAR the depth I went last year in my 2012 GLOG (Can be seen here http://thehotpepper....pers-2012-glog/ ) . This year I just wont have the time to stay with constant updates and such so im just gonna post some info about what we are growing and some pictures along the way :)
This years grow list is WAY less ambitious than 2012 as well, with some KEY additions and a TON less varieties! This year im growing 7 types.....ALL Nukes!! The list is as follows:
Trinidad Scorpion Moruga - Baker's Peppers Seeds
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T - Baker's Peppers Seeds
Trinidad Scorpion Red - Baker's Peppers Seeds

Hello everyone, I have been a lurker for some time so this is my first post :party:
I've started to grow about March so i was a bit late :doh:
But here are pics of some plants i have
Trinidad Scorpion Morouga
Jalapeno Conchos :hurra:
Numex Jalmundo
The Madame Jeanette wakes up
Some Bhut Jolokia pods
Vezena Piperka
little background, always been a somewhat pepper head, to the point of carrying bottles of hotsauce everywhere, local grocery store started carrying orange habaneros, i eat 1-2 each morning with hash rounds and egg whites for breakfast, started making hot sauce awhile back, and got bit by the bug, gotta sweat at least once a day, and it being the off season i got a late start, and planned on over wintering, but turned into indoor growing due to stupid hot weather in the midwest this year
purchased an aerogarden at a goodwill for 20 bucks, thought i would start there, ordered some bhut jolokia's and scotch bonnets from pepper joes, after reading reviews i decided to go with him, i liked his replies to some negative comment
so on with...
This is my first planned out grow season with hot peppers. After starting a semi successful garden last year and having some failure assorted hot peppers due to a hungry cat I am determined to grow them this season.
With limited room and a short grow season in CT I don't have a large selection and plan to keep a few to winter over and get peppers year round.
The short hot list:
Bhut Jolokia
Peruvian purple
Sweets:
Mini multi colored bells mix
Multicolored bell mix
Currently I have my seedlings in the bottom of my hydroponics tote under a 2' 4 tube T5 light (6000K bulbs).
The purples got mold and only one survived ): but is doing well now.
Will post more once they get bigger!
I guess this is my second year growing hot peppers. I tried growing some last year, but my wife and I moved into a new house in June 2012, so my plants did not go in the ground until July. Needless to say, my efforts did not yield any ripe peppers, but it was a learning experience nonetheless.
This year, I started my first seeds back in February, so this first post is my attempt to summarize the last 4 months. I don't have as many pictures as I would like to have, but I hadn't thought of making a Glog at the time, so any pictures I have were just taken on my phone as a way to document the growth progress of the peppers.
Here's my grow list:
Grown from seed: (Seeds obtained from Pepper Joe, Pepperlover, Justaguy, and...
Intro
It's been just over a month since I started growing peppers, to make a long story short I've always loved hot peppers and have wanted to grow them for awhile, so one of my coworkers who has grown peppers for the past few years decided to help get me started. I’m extremely excited to see how all this turns out, but seeing as I’m new and inexperienced I figured I’d post on here as I go for feedback purposes and such, so if anybody has any helpful hints/tips or just sees me doing something I shouldn’t be doing then please don’t hesitate to speak up and let me know.
My Original Setup:
I started with 3 plants (thai hot chille, habenero, and jalapeno). Each plant was put into a 8” plastic pot, the Serrano was...
I will be starting a grow log this week HP22B Carolina Reaper vs. Primo, Seeds packs show below purchased from Pepper Joes, Puckerbutt and Primo, also Butch X (ButchT), Douglah (Ajijoe), Peach Bhut (Ajijoe), Billy Boy Yellow ??? (SilverSurfer)
9/7/2012 Seeds Planted to Jiffy Pods place on Heat Mat
What's up everyone. I have been thinking about starting a Glog even though it is later in the season. So I figured, what the heck. This is my first year growing from seed so any tips, comments or concerns let me know! It will be much appreciated.
Peppers I'm growing:
Bhut Jolokia Red
Tobasco
Scotch Bonnet
Devil's Tongue
Trinidad Scorpion (bought at a farmer's market, did not start from seed)
I used MG starter soil to start the seeds. I built a grow box with two cfl's at daylight spectrum.
Started Seed 1st of Feb.
Grow box with seedlings after hooking:
I moved them to solo cups after some root development:
Where I think I messed up is I did not harden them off properly. When I moved them outside, their growth halted for...
alright, this is the beginning of my first glog. to start, last year, i grew 4 jalapenos, 4 ghost hab's, 2 cayenne, and 1 super chili. i got decent return, especially with the ghost habaneros. This year I'm starting Trinidad Scorpions, Giant Jalapeno, and Chocolate Habaneros. I also overwintered two of my Ghost Habaneros. Here's a pic of the seeds starting, mainly the Scorpions. This is the first time I've ever started seeds, with alot of knowledge from TheHotPepper.com
Now, I know some folks don't like the peat pellets. I got an amazon gift card, and got 100 peat pellets, 100 4 inch peat pots, and 5 trays. Then i went and got a germination kit, and got started with my seeds from pepperlover.com. Here's a couple shots of my Ghost...
It's the slow time of year at work and I had my 1st big harvest off my plant tonight. I figured starting this glog would help pass time at work and let me share some pod porn. :party:
I have six plants outside, 2 in soil and 4 in a coco mix. Two Peters, Prik (the growdown plant), two Birdseyes (which look nothing alike and came frome the same dried pod) and what was labeled a Trinidad Scorpion Tequila Sunrise (given to me by a customer that got them on here). I also have a Birdseye and a Peter at work under a 400 hps in coco that I will take pics of tomorrow.
First up the Peters, these guys got damaged by mites or something else and were set back quite a bit after the first few pods started. They seem to be all better now but...
Hello and greetings :) My first post here, and I'm prepping for my first major season growing. I've done a few small pepper plants here or there, and two summers ago I tried for some variety of ghost chili or other (the pop top cans you can get from thinkgeek), which turned out to look like ghost chilis, but were super mild (may have also been the fact that they were getting almost no sun in the apartment we lived in at the time, and by the time we got the house, they got outdoors just in time for the frost to hit).
I've got a heat mat and a 50 hole rapid rooter en route, and I'll be grabbing some cheapo work lights to give me some light. I also need to rig some sort of container to keep in the heat, they'll be going in my...
Got my seeds started back in early February. Next year I will begin in December as many of my pepper plants stalled out after getting to be @ 5-6". Other veges did great under the lights and have transplanted well into the garden. This is my first season with a garden in the backyard, been using about an acre at my hunting camp but that's hard to manage being 120 miles away, but have been very succesful there. Tilled the yard up to about 50' x 20' and added 4x4x10's on the corners to set the fence up and 2 more for a gate. The deer in my neighborhood pass through daily in a group of 8-12. I put down a weed cloth over majority of it then added 3-6" of mulch to keep the moisture in since I'm away for wks at a time with work and the other...
Sven is our garden guard and only he knows what we have..............this is the first of our pics from our garden glog
BTW....the bandaid on Svens finger was put on him 40 years ago by my wife......
something to say about stuck on bandaid....bandaid stuck on you
Scovie named him
Okay Chiliheads,
At the end of the month I will begin my crop for this season, as it seems the hard core chilis take a while to germinate. Then it got me thinking...Why not run a few experiments to see what germination method works best. People seemed to have some issues with the Reapers so I figure I'll start there and do the same with some other superhots and compare the results.
I'm going to try three methods of germination: Overnight soaking in a solution, scarifying the seeds then overnighting in a damp towel, and for a control just straight into the dirt.
For the solution I'm going to experiment with a vinegar base, I'm thinking equal parts vinegar and water and a little H2O2. I'm trying vinegar off the animal digestive tract...
Back in the spring I gave one of my coworkers a few Chupetinha seedlings, and later on a few other young plants, including Cumari do Para (capsidadburn), Kitchen Pepper Peach (datil), and a Yellow 7 (Hippy). He carried them to his hunting camp, potted them up in MG Potting Mix, and has done nothing except give them rain water. Here are some pix from a few minutes ago:
This is apparently a cross between something and Chupetinha. When this plant was a seedling it was so pitiful that I had given it up for dead and thrown it under some empty containers in the garage. A few days later it had perked back up, so I gave it to Bob to care for:
Another apparently crossed or mutated Chupetinha, setting erect pods:

What's up pepper heads...
I am an American living in Alexandria, Egypt and I love spicy fire breathing food. I have been living here for 2 years now and can find only a couple of different types of peppers. I found Jalapenos’ in a jar and what looks and tastes like a Kung Pao pepper but nothing in the superhots category and no decent sauces. Wistfully looking at all the awesome sauces and seeds on the internet I started a wish list on Amazon and pointed my mother to it via my wife’s facebook page as my birthday approached. Then a couple of months ago we received a box from grandma with lots of goodies for the kids and wife and about half of my wish list. Yes!
I don't have a fancy setup or even an un-fancy setup, just some store...
This year I hope to pull this off. Will I ??? just have to wait and see. some strains are only going to be two plants. I hope to have around 500 - 1000 plants going this year.Yes me full timing it. Video Updates on this Log.

I have never grown anything from seed before, nevermind had much of a garden. My very limited gardening experience is a couple of herbs, Mint and Parsley, which are 2 plants that you almost can't kill. I also have some Rosemary plants that were in the house when we bought it and a Lemon Tree that we recently purchased and have put in a pot.
My experience with chilli plants is limited, I bought a few chilli plants (not even sure what they are, Thai variety of some type) from a market and I have kept them alive for about a month so far.
Since I have no idea what I’m doing, any advice along the way would be much appreciated. I am in Melbourne, Australia and we have a temperate climate. Winter (June-August) night time temps occasionally...
Even though the season is quickly winding down, I wanted to get some pics posted from this year and write down some notes.
All were started from seeds in late December to get a good start on the germination process. All in all I think I had about 75% germ rate over all varieties.
This year's varieties included:
Red Ghosts
Giant Ghosts
Yellow and Chocolate Ghost
Chocolate Habalokia
Jay's Red and Peach Ghost Scorpions
Red Brain Strain
Carolina Reapers

Hi guys, I finally took some pictures of my "garden," which is a small urban stoop that I have overflowing with chilis.
Here's my gallery.
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100803078451147.1073741825.604146&type=1&l=356b0c6012
What started as a rather desperate solution for difficult-to-find cooking ingredients for Sichuanese food turned into a quest for every variety of one kind of pepper - the facing heaven chili (朝天椒). I'm up to 9 different kinds, with 3 more on the way.
I've been growing for a few years and have a system which works best for me:
1) promix
2) grow bags (grocery eco bags make the most sense $)
3) tomato-tone
It's not the cheapest way, but it works wonderfully for me!
My stoop only gets about 3 hours...
Picked some peppers over the weekend. Most of the hot/super hot plants are still not producing ripe pods - some are starting to turn but most are still green. Anyway, here are some pictures of what I picked over Labor Day. Nothing too exciting, but still not bad.
Sweet/Bell:
Some Hot Ones:
Jalapeno and a few Cherry Pods:
Cayenne and Thai:
Thanks for looking.

Welcome to my first Glog for THP! I did get a rather uneven and late start for growing this year but thankfully the season can run quite long in Florida so I still expect to have a good harvest.
Unlike last year, my grow has been done in fits and starts due to other competing activities for my time and some seed quality issues. I've also done a few upgrades to my growing setup and I have some ongoing retrofit to my outdoor area that haven't even gotten started. This post will serve as a quick catch up on 2013 so far, and hint at plans for the remainder of the year.
So, for the past 2 years I've done only very small chili grows for personal consumption and the occasional party salsa. My growing setup was pretty simple, a DIY...
This is my first time making a grow log and only my second time trying to grow peppers. I tried last year but didnt produce hardly anything other then serrano, jalapeno and tomato. partly because i had neighbors that shot bottle rockets and fire crackers into my garden and partly because it was so hot last summer and mostly because i had no idea what was doing when it came to super hots. but i have moved since then and have my own backyard now im not sure i will have enough room for all the peppers that sprouted this year. i planted alot of peppers because of my failure last year and i got a heat mat this year for my seed starters i used jiffy pellets and when the peppers sprouted i planted them in solo cups so they wouldnt be on the...

Here is a couple of videos of this years grow. Overdone it this year and have way too many plants in small pots as a result. think ill have more pods than last year though. I have an overwintered Bhut Jolika in there which was producing well, then i repotted it and it had a huge growth and pod generation increase, so im really happy about this plant.
Anyway here is a couple of videos (filmed a couple of weeks back now, there has been plenty of progression in the last two weeks which ill probably document this week)

Welcome to another season of RoninGarden,
In this episode...
2013 is here, and a new season is upon us.
This season I got a good head start on the summer outdoor season. I've started a few new strains for 2013 as well as carrying over a few from 2012.
Currently the kids are residing in my closet, within a makeshift grow room.
All are in Airpots varying in size from 1/2 liter for the new sprouts, to 1.5 gallon for the 2012 survivors.
Lighting is a dual bulb t8 fixture running 6500k lamps.
My growing medium is Promix Bx.
Here's the lineup for 2013:
2012 survivors in closet grow area:
7 Pot Douglah

Hi to everyone :)
I'm going to start a glog for 2013 and I plan to finish it but I've got to have open heart surgery soon for a congenital bicuspid aortic valve.
I plan to grow less then half of the amount I did last year so it doesn't become such I commitment to look after the plants especially with all lifting of the plant pots you have to do to bring the plants back in at night to protect against frost.
I will have the help of my lovely girlfriend but I don't want it to become a chor for her to look after them if I can't.
I'm not a man of many words so I tend not to reply to questions with conversation starting answer but I really enjoy posting pictures and updates.
I hope you can all enjoy my glog.

Hi All,
So I'll give it another try this year. God knows I love chillies and I would love nothing more than to have a bumper harvest... but I suspect the truth of the matter is I do not have green fingers. In fact, give me a chilli and I will be pretty guaranteed to kill it lol That's not negativity talking, that's reality based on last years experiences lol
Last year it was pots. This year its a farm east of Pretoria, here in South Africa. My reasoning for this madness is pretty much like a hunter hunting with a machine gun... out of the thousand seedlings I plant... I must walk away with something lol (I hope).
So I have a pice of land. Good soil down by a river in the african sun.
The planting area has been divided into two...
Hey y'all, just wanted to share a progress report on the pepper plants. They are really shooting up quite fast. it has been insanely hot the past 2 weeks, with temps around 94F and feels like 102F. the plants wilt a bit then perk right back up in the evening once cooled down.
Here are some pics.

I was using MG potting mix regular and MC, until i found this local soil mix at a local hardware store. it looked good and is organic (and cheap). It says it has trichoderma, metarhizium & maeclomyces, whatever those are.
Here is a picture of 2 plants, same seed same age. One is in MG the other in the local soil mix. Can you guess which one is in the MG and which is in the local soil?
Thanks...
