Ok,
I am very late starting this glog, but it seemed like a great way to show what I am doing and get feedback from all you amazing growers. Also, given my less than spectacular memory, I may need these notes in 2014. Just sayin...
History:
This is only my second grow; I had a very late start and a tough grow in 2011. I did get a ton of Manzanos which kept me in hot sauce and pepper jelly for all of last year.
I got a slightly late start sowing seeds this year; I sowed 3/1, 3/15, and 4/5. Overall this went much better than in 2011. After things started working out, I got kind of addicted and decided to add some additional variety by buying a ~20 additional plants. At the moment, I have 82 peppers in the ground and 89 in 3.5"...

OK, I hope this is intresting to someone. My 1st attempt to share a season. I have not got the whole list done and I have just starting sowing this week. I have layed out about 300 seeds so far. Maybe another 300 today. At 4-5 days into it, I have a good number of sprouts. 3 types of wilds, some C. chinense, a Rocoto or two, and something else. I will get some pics together to show the grow spaces etc in the next day or so.
Capsicum galapagoense
Getting the 1st batch ready.
Part of last years patch not quite half way thru the year.
I had paths, but everthing overgrew. Hopefully better planning this year.
Rocotos
Pics from 2012
One of my contest giveaways. More coming, I hope.
You get the idea. Its a problem I have. lol
Ello all, time to start 2012/2013 Glog, well actually its quite over due.
For this season i built my self a germination cupboard. and it looks something like this.
as you can see its just an el cheapo flat pack cupboard that i bought 2nd hand, it then has 4 batten holders per shelf.
not all the batten holders have globes in them atm, i have left some empty to regulate the temperature.
As this is the first version of this cupboard it is pretty simple, the heat from the globes keeps the top 3 compartments about 16 degrees C above the room temperature in my shed (shed temp is same as outside), the daytime temp here for the last couple of months has been about 12 degrees C. so 16c + 12c = 28c. so for the daytime it usually sits about...
Hey everyone,
This is the first time Im really making an attempt at growing peppers outdoors. I have grown some super hots and some others indoors under HID's with decent results but I want to start doing it annually outdoors and overwintering them inside. Ive had an indoor garden for years now..... and recycled my soil for quite some time.. usually it consists of 1/3 ewc's from my worm bin, 1/3 perilite, and 1/3 recycled promix ammended with tomato tone. Its worked fantastically for my indoor garden.. but now Im really getting caught by the pepper bug and want to focus on these guys.
Currently I have 3 trinidad scorpion moruga blend, 1 douglah, a volcano pepper (a hungarian wax type), and another plant that is either another TSMB, a...

Hey guys this is my first year growing super hot peppers. I live in Northern California and I decided to start a video blog to see how these plants grow. I'm very new so if you have suggestions I'm all ears! I plan on doing an update video about once a week ( maybe every two weeks if nothing exciting is going on with them) I got my plants from cross country nursuries. I did not grow them from seeds ( although now I wish I had lol) any way enjoy guys!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcjgxPSxmPI
I'm growing a few from seed:
red savina habanero
thai birds eye
purira
NuMex twilight
I bought a few plants:
2 peach ghost scorpion
2 giant white habanero
2 chocolate scotch bonnet
they've yet to be shipped, but the seeds I sowed on the 15th are starting to sprout, I just planted them outside since it's normally between 80 - 90 F they seem to be doing well
Decided to put my GLog here a bit late and make a heavy first post and then keep going at a more normal pace.
This is my third season growing peppers (or anything really) and my first season growing anything but regular C. annuum supermarket varieties.
Original plan was to grow in containers in the backyard (renting our apartment, so no huge garden and can't make big flowerbeds in it) but as of last month we managed to get a lease on a plot of growing field where I will give growing in the ground a try. Since summers are quite short and might be cold here (southern part of Sweden) I'm planning on building a hoop house to cover the peppers.
Ordred all of my seeds except the Apache and the Bird's eye from Fataliiseeds.net last year in...
In the following thread over in the gardening instance of stack exchange there is a suggestion that a plant will pause fruiting during the period while the remaining segment between the node and the pod dies and falls off after plucking the fruit ...
http://gardening.sta...ucing/2081#2081
What do yo think?
I often pinch mine in he middle, and in a sense, I might be pinching the cross-section such that it doesn't lose hydration as quickly and essentially holding back my fruiting process ...
Now I'm considering using my little fiskars and snipping them more tightly ...
Interesting ...

Happy growing!!
I am going to give it a shot and start a glog and post some photos.
I started my 2013 season on 17 Feb 2013. I planted then what I had available and added more peppers as I got the seeds. Next year I am hoping I run a little logical in planting times.

My little grow log:
First off I have very thick skin, so feel free to judge or offer any insults that would help this become a greater success. I am new... But I have been growing all sorts of veggies in my outdoor 20x13 garden for years with lots of good (and bad) results.
This year I plan on changing it up a little. Last year I grew lots of tomatoes, to many. Some purple or grey Heirlooms that tasted like shit, cherrys that I couldn't keep up with and they dropped and rotted, etc. So this year I will dedicate a fair amount of my garden to peppers. As well as my garden, I plan on container growing a bunch, and I am building an indoor grow room with a 600hps.
Today I received my first seed order. They were just a couple varieties I...
Hi out there! I thought i would try to make a glog this year!
I live in Denmark so i don't have the best climate for peppers compared to most of the people in here. Also i'm a student so i can't afford to buy lights, heatmats and so on. That's why i thought i would make a glog about growing chili pretty cheap without all the pro hightech gear.
I have little garden where i will try to grow my first outdoors chili. I have my windowsill where i can grow up to six small plants. And hopefully i can borrow a greenhouse from my parents in law again this year.
Since i don't have a heat mat i am trying to germinate my seeds in ziplock bags on the radiator. I have put far more seeds to germination than i have space for because i'm not sure...
I put 2 Thai Mound and 1 Thai Orange in the window at the end of last year. Been harvesting chiles all year. Thought that I would share a typical picture (harvest this amount approximately once per month) - enough to keep me going. A few of these stayed on the plant a bit too long - oh well. Not bad for Northern Illinois.
I decided to try my hand at growing peppers in the winter. I wanted also to try hydroponics. Just the basic DWC method. I picked up those supplies and a Quantum T5 Badboy. These are the Peppers I am going to try.
Fatali
Mustard Habanero
Purple Jalapeno
7 Pot/Pod
I had the Fatali and Mustard Hab seeds so I started them in Oasis cubes on 08/31/2012
The other two seeds came in on the 09/05/2012. So I threw them in the their cubes. I also tried germinating a couple Korean Gochu seeds. They germinate fast and will be a good test because I have never used Oasis cubes. So far they seem to be doing good.
Took a picture today of them just peaking their heads out the top of the cubes. The tallest one is the Gochu pepper. The shorter...
Well folks...here goes!
Our 2013 indoor grow is the first step for freedom for us. We are planning on using this years seed stocks for next years grow which will then be harvested resale puposes to help put us on the property ladder. It's not a get rich quick plan but more of a plan we believe in and are prepared to see it through to the end. We hope you can join us on this adventure and offer any advice where you can. We are all ears!
(I will include as many pictures as possibe that are relevant to the grow and a few that are in for giggles also) I love looking at pepper-porn of other peoples grow's, it is an excellent research method, so hopefully our pic's will inspire and help you all to get a better understanding of what we are...
Hey THPers! This is my first time growing peppers, or actually anything at all. I've got the help of my dad (who has certified "wizard magic" by my girlfriend on growing things), and he's the one guiding me through it. I certainly expect to see suggestions and help for me along the way from everyone here who watches my thread.
First and foremost I would like to thank Durham Bull for sending me a very large order of seeds of many types. Unfortunately I will not be able to grow them all as I have many things going on right now and, honestly, I wouldn't have the time for all of them. Of the 20 or so types he sent me, I am growing 8 different varieties The rest are going to go to a good friend of mine at work and I'm sure he'll be glad to...
SO
last year my chillies didn't grow much. I had a bunch of varieties and they all started growing at the very end of the season, so i didn't have any real amount of ripe chillies.
This year i decided to do things a bit differently and with that in mind I sowed some of my seeds early (around 20th December 2012) And they're doing great!
The varieties I've sown in the first batch are:
Bhut Jolokia
Jalapeno
Sparkler
A few weeks later, I sowed two varieties from the dried chilli pods I had in a jar. They had almost 100% germination.
Big Thai (I think)
African Bird's Eye (Ithink
I later ordered a few extra seed from South Devon Chilli Farm and bought a few other varieties in stores, which i sowed a few days ago. These are:
Fatalii
Hot...
As I've mentioned before, I have decided it's time to post more, and become a more productive member of this community. Today (1/4/13) was the first day I've had enough time to do anything pepper related (other than eat them, of course!). So here goes:
First and foremost, a HUGE thanks to meinchoh for being kind enough to offer me some seeds. It is much appreciated! (Pics soon - They came out crappy and I'll have to retake them.)
To start off, I ended up poking holes in the bottoms of each cup and placing the holey cups in the normal cups. I got the idea somewhere off here to line the inside of a cardboard box with foil and I ordered a better light bulb so we'll see how that works.
The following seeds were sown, 2 per cup:
4 cups 7...
I've just put first batch of seeds to soak (chinensis, frutescens and pubescens) so I might as well start a growing thread why not. Hope it won't turn into a disaster like most of the years before and i'll get decent crops in the end ;) Long way to go.
Cheers!
Previous grows have been fairly small with little regard for pollination. This year I'm going to try to keep at least one of each plant isolated. I've got some friends that have volunteered to foster some plants. Several strains are repeated across vendors because I wanted to see how well they would grow out. Lots of scorpions!
I'll get more pictures up once more seeds are in the ground.
Updated! 1/28/13
This is my second year growing hot peppers, and my first for growing super hots. This year is going to be a massive step up from my previous year. Pot size is going from 3 gallon to 5, varieties are going from 11 to 31 and counting, and plant count is going from 30 to about 300. I might end up giving some of them away; I don’t know what my yard can support. All of last year’s plants were grown on the deck, but this year they are moving out onto the lawn.
I want to thank this great community for its wealth of knowledge and generosity that has helped me get to where I am.
This year’s tentative grow list:
Chinense
White Bullet Habanero
Tangerine Habanero
7 Pot Yellow
7 Pot Jonah
7 Pot Primo
7 Pot Douglah

Hi guys,
After being away most of the 2012 season (big move, new house, new job...), I'm back for my very minimal 2013 growing season. Between the chicken coop project, the new garden boxes, the kids and all that, I managed to plant a few seeds. I wish I had more but that's all I could get going for this year.
So here's the list of the seeds I was trying to get going:
- Goat Horn (that I got from an Asian market here in Quebec City)
- Fataliis
- Habaneros
- Chocolate Habaneros *
- Malaysian Habaneros *
- Bhut Jolokias *
* These were from seeds I saved when I harvested 2 years ago.
Since I leave all the way up north, I got them started mid-March under fluo lights (a bit too late unfortunately). So far, no success with the Fataliis...
Here we go. 2013 will be our first harvest, and we'll share our experience here with you.
We are in province of Québec, Canada, so we are north (full of snow right now) and french speaking, so excuse my future english clumsiness.
We are going to sow in the middle of february indoor, and final harvest is expected for august.
We will have about 60 plants in a greenhouse and about 20 more outdoor.
Most of them will be:
-Habanero
-Ancho
-Ixtapa Hybrid
-Tabasco
-Jamaican Hot Chocolate
-Cayenne
-Rocotillo
-Fatalii
-Numex Big Jim
And a few plants of:
-Bhut Jolokia
-Royal Black
-Explosive Ember
-...
Stay tuned!
Well this is my first attempt at growing germinating these seeds. I soaked all the seeds for 10 Hours in warm water and planted them in cups filled with Miracle Grow Potting Mix. I have them stored in my garage to sprout with no heating element as I live in Texas and dont think it will be necessary (could be wrong open to suggestions). The seeds have been planted for 4 days now with no sprouts.
Ill add some pictures when i get home.
Better late than never?
I did get a late start this year into the pepper growing. I have tons of seeds, but unfortunately I'm living with my wife's parents' pending a house purchase so I have little room for plants. I started two Jalepeno plants from seed around April and bought one seedling from B&Q (UK's Home Depot) that looked healthy. A couple of weeks ago I was at the garden center and saw a pitiful looking prarie fire plant and just had to take it home and see if I could nourish it back to health.
It's been a touch and go start after one of my seedlings sprouted very quickly and then dried up and died. I had an attack of aphids on my B&Q Jalepeno, but thanks to the Aphid Antidote I was able to fight them off. The Prarie Fire...

Each year we grow a large variety of peppers. Most of them we sell as seedlings and keep a few nice specimans for ourselves.
We start the seeds in what we call the incubator. Its a large styrofoam box that holds 4 72 cell trays ( or 18 cell)
Currently the 18 cell trays have tomatoes. There is a heat matt on the bottom and a plastic face that covers the front to keep the heat in. It sits at 80-85 F
Currently germinating hot portugal, giant jalapeno, cayenne long, tomatoes
Once they have one or two sets of true leaves, they get transferred into the 18 cell trays and a larger holding area. We use T5 bulbs and have the entire area lined in white sheeting. It also has a heat matt in the bottom and cover that drops...

Hello all! As you can tell from the title, this glog will probably be the noobiest/"ghettoest" one in the thread. This will technically be my 2nd season, but the first growing multiple plants. Last year my 7 Pod plant began to fruit right when winter hit s:
Here's the ones that I am currently growing:
White Bhut Jolokia x1
Red Bhut Jolokia x1
Red Moruga Scorpion x1
Large 7 Pod x1? (Possibly 4, long story short: I got some plants mixed up in my seed starter) (I warned you this was nooby :3)
Unknown x3 that were sent from Pepperlover.
Why only 1 of each? Well.... The rest are still chilling in the Germination Station:
And here's the 10 I listed above :3
Note: Bottom right one just got some water directly on it. Not killed over...
Well, the season is quickly approaching here in the Northeast, although spring hasn't sprung yet. I'll admit that I'm "green" to growing, and I've probably picked some hard varieties for our short season, but I'm bound and determined to succeed this year. I like to think that I've learned from last years follies and transgressions, having lost nearly 100 plants to early starting and late transplanting. That said, I'll be tilling this weekend or next and getting down with some crab shell and kelp meal, courtesy of Neptune's Harvest to get the ground ready. Here is this years list:
Avery Island Tobasco
Goronong
Yellow 7-Pot
Red Savina
Peach Habanero
Butch T
Aji Pineapple
Fatalii
Jalapeño
Douglah
Morougah Scorpion
Aji Cito
Poblano
CGN27500...
Well it's time to start a new season, this year I have just over 600 plants to go outside into the ground and pots this week
I haven't been around much of late, but here goes.....
a few pics of the start;
Here is the front yard.
the back yard;
and some of the seedling waiting to be settled;

Hi. My name is Dan. I am from Romania.
And I like peppers very much.
So I decided to grow my first peppers.
I bought seeds from the followings species: Red Mouraga, Scorpion ButchT, Scotch Bonnet Red, Numex Twilight, Loco chili pepper. I just ordered only 5 seeds from each.
22.02.2013
I put the seeds in a wet towel close to a heat source.
Surprisingly , my first sprouts were Scorpion Butch T, although the instructions on the package that belongs to says that Scorpion Butch T needs time to germinate, up to 5 weeks.
My first ScorpionT came to light after 7 days and then I took it from the wet towel and I planted in soil.
Below is my first Scorpion Butch T little plant.
Then my first Red Mouraga came to life:
After 12 days I saw...
Hey everyone! Glad I found a forum to support my growing addiction.
This will be my 3rd year growing but my first year starting everything indoors.
Im hoping to try to grow a few plants entirely indoors as well.
For 2013 Ill be growing the following:
-Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
-"Peter" Peppers
-Habenero Orange
-Bananna Peppers
-Sapporo Peppers
Along with a bunch of non pepper veggies.
I got most of my seeds from Pepper Joe's and BakerCreek Seed co.
Started them in Rapid Rooter plugs placed in a Hydrofarm Hot House.
I added about an inch of water to the tray and mixed in some seaweed/fish fertalizer once most of the seeds sprouted.
Ill add some pictures later tonight.
Thanks for the great forums! :onfire:
Hey everyone. Now been around too much since last year. Classes are ending for me this week for atleast a few weeks break, So i figured it would be a good as time as ever to start my first growlog.
Got a room cleared out and got a few lights. Been planting abunch of different things :dance:
I also tried overwintering a number of plants that look like they have survived for the most part.
I'll dig out a camera to take some pictures soon.
