Figured that since I'm pretty new at this, and as it's also the first time I'm starting peppers (or anything) from seed that I'd take a run a creating a grow log. Hopefully, this will capture a wildly successful season, or, more likely, will serve as a reminder to me of things I did this year that I should change or improve upon for next year. :)
Here are the seeds that I have sown thus far:
I have not yet received a couple more varieties that I'm going to start -- KS Lemon Starrburst, and Purple Thunder (from @PaulG.)
I'm starting all of these in my new to me IDOO 12 pod unit (mixed grow with some herbs and tomatoes thrown in......). Here is the state of my peppers thus far:
I've got one pod of Bubblegum that should hook...

Start a Grow Log for your growing season.
I wasn't going to do a garden this year, because I'm trying to get this Yukon back on the road, but I couldn't resist, lol.
I have 4 bhuts and 4 jalapeños I picked up. Also some tomatoes and yellow squash, and a raised bed that I poked a bunch of bean seeds into. Want to get a couple pumpkins and some corn going too.
This is the beginning of my 2022 Pepper journey.
I grow my peppers in open fields in Alsace, France. In 2022 I will add a hoop house to my growing arsenal (3 by 6 meters)
2022 will be my 3rd season of starting my chillies from seed. The year 2021 has been rather mixed, mainly because of the weather which has been very rainy all summer, I hope it will be a little warmer in 2022, fingers crossed!
I'm trying to keep my list pretty short for 2022, and the first seeds are already in my aerogarden.
Already in the Aerogarden:
2 x Capsicum Flexuosum Failed
2 x Capsicum Tovarii Failed
2 x Capsicum Lanceolatum Failed
I got my wild chili seeds from fataliiseeds during a promotion he was doing to buy a tractor for his farm.
I'm not a fan of...
Hi! I'm Alex from Brazil!
Some old members might remember me... I make some seeds exchange here back in 2009.
Had about 40 pepper plants but after the end of the season they suffered from massive whiteflies attack and I lost mostly of them... frustrated I gave up on growing peppers plants but this year I decided to start again I bought seeds from TexasHotPepper, HRSeeds and MK hope this time to be successful.
Yeah my english is quite bad but I hope can understand each other!!! :oops:
For now my list is:
(C. chinense)
Puma
Habanada
Naga BBG7 Orange
Big Olive Mama
Big Mustard Mama (gift)
Jays X Purple
PDN X Bonda Ma Jacques (White)
BTR Scorpion
Jays Peach Ghost Scorpion
Bleeding Borg 9
Papa Joes Scotch Bonnet
KS Lemon Starrburst...
Tabasco, cali wonder bell, shishito, orange ghost, Carolina reaper, and jalapeño. Already pulled about 10 shishitos. And a coupla jalapeños. Looking like the shishito is going to be most prolific this year. 😔
And we're off and running...
I started these on February 4th. Without heat, things are progressing a little slowly. But I think I'm seeing something in every cell.
Here's my grow list for 2022, starting with my AeroGarden seedlings...
From Refining Fire Chiles:
(2) Piment d'Espelette
(2) Dieghito Jalapeno (An Italian Jalapeno-like pepper)
(2) Rayados Jalapeno
(2) Senise (Peperoni di Senise, supposedly comparable to Hatch chilies)
(2) Malawi Piquante (closely related to the PeppaDew)
From Pepper Guru for the 2022 GrowDown ThrowDown:
(3) Farm Locoto
From my own saved seeds:
(3) San Isidro Rocoto
(3) Orange V3 (Some kind of cross from a Volunteer I grew last year.)
(2) Volunteer 1.2 (no name yet, another Volunteer cross from...
PM 2022 Grow Log - 2021 GLOG
Well its 2 weeks to start date for us here. We wanted to share with you some of the new peppers we have growing.
A lot happened in 2021 that changed how we will approach 2021, but we will still be doing grow bags and added a plot for next years grow.
The list of peppers is ever updating as the last seeds roll on in.
Cheers THP, I will update this as we go!
For now a quick shot of what plants we have growing in the tent. This Ninfadora is just blowing me away with its foliage.
Jumping right to the garden. I started everything late this year. Getting good results in my containers.
Here is one section of containers. All of these plants were small plants coming out of the gate on May 15th. They are filling up nicely.
One of my Pink Biquinho's
Love the standard Yellow Biquinho's
Purple Reaper plant that I purchased from Cross Country Nurseries. The plant was topped early on, not purposely. Some animal ate the top of the plant off. It has recovered well.
I had bought seeds from Lawrence Family Farms for the Brown Bhut. These are looking a tad purplish.
More photos to come.
The Rolling Stones, Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Oct. 9, 2021. My 13th (and possibly final) Stones show.
My first peppers for this season are starting to emerge and get transplanted waiting for spring to come. I took a cutting of the Scotch Bonnet Marabella Market Caramel that I had success with last year and put it a one gallon fabric pot. I'll either transplant the whole thing or take another cutting later on when it's about 8 weeks out from planting outside. See this post here for last year.
The first transplants:
Scotch Bonnet HSH (see this post)
Chocolate Bhutlah CS (Bohica Pepper Hut)
MA Purple (Texas Hot Peppers)
More to come...
So, last year growing season was a blast for me. I hope this year it wont be much different. I ordered seeds from 2 different companies, one pacage arrived this week. First four in the list are now in the soil. I had to stop myself from ordering more seeds..Its just so addictive looking through all this stuff..
Seed list:
Chocolate Habaneros (seeds from last year)
Hungarian hot wax (gift seeds)
Bhutlah chocolate
Mulato isleno
Serrano del sol
Ring of fire
Brazilian starfish
Lemon drop
Carolina reaper
Brown Rocotto
Another year has begun. This year as the last season comes to an end. Tonight Jan2 is our first frost of winter. So as I'm thinking of the grow season ahead. I am also pulling my final harvest. Had a terrible 2021 season due to Hurricane Ida. But I learned a lot about preparing for such an event.
Still working on this year's list but do have several varieties that I will be germinating today.
Yellow rocoto
Big Chocolate Mama
7 pot primo
7 pot Douglah
Red Naga Brain
Red Bhut Jolokia
Chocolate Bhut Jolokia
Death Spiral
Mustard habanero with thick wall (pheno hunt for a friend)
Final harvest pic.
Only doing the CPR/Primo clones again this year,
plus some Ecuadoran Hot Lemon Cayenne plants from Burpee.
This year I will be doing all container plants after letting my garden fall under to the Bermuda grass. Maybe I will get in there and go all scorched earth but for now I will do what I can on my patio. Seed sowed Feb 11, as of yesterday all except one had germinated. Those were some 5 year old banana peppers I was trying to get rid of, not sure if they will germ., but no harm if not. I have plenty other spares to take it’s place.
The plan is to harden off in the next couple of weeks and have everything outside by mid March. Wish me luck!
Well...I am not planning on having much to write home about this year...been busy.
However I do have some seedlings Bonnets that Bou so kindly sent me and P.Dreadie from John S...thanks again friends for the seeds.
Jamaican SB Bou
Faria SB Bou
Mushroom SB Yellow Bou
P.Dreadie SB John Sawyer
Mariwiri
Wiriwiri
For wilds..Got another seedling Tovarii too and many of my fav wild C.Galapogeonse seedlings..
...my Cardenasii and OLDER Tovarii from CD are hanging in and my as is my C.Flexuosum ..will get some pixs in here soon.
No lanceolateum...just no luck helmet head &all...and that was a bummer :(
of course my signature Wiri's are in there...have some other OWs to add as the weather perks up...I just need to get in the groove.
Hi guys, some pictures of last harvest ( 2020), unfortnualy last year due to some reasons i haven´t grow nothing, but this year i´m back as you can see
Hello all,
I feel like this will be embarrasing but what the hell :).
Caysan flower, actually two from the first branching node.
My two oldest, Jalapenos in the ground and have been in a war with the slugs.
Another two Jalapenos in 300mm pots,
and another 4 in 175mm pots.
What's interesting is all six of these have two flowers and three branches at the first branching node.
Three Caysans, starting to flower, (you can ignore the other three they are "sweet peppers").
Then twelve little Cayennes growing up.
It occured to me this wasn't enough plants and although it's late I still planted some seeds.
Jalapeno.
Caysan.
Thai.
New arrivals.
I'm still getting nights as cold as 5C (41F), and days as hot as 30C (86F)...
Still a week away from starting the full seasons line up. Figured I’d thoroughly track my season here since I’m doing a couple growouts/comparative grows. This season is mostly going to be for sauce and powder since our freezer is full of frozen chiles still (stays stocked).
Main plants for this season will be:
Piri Piri (7 different sources)
Bangalore Whippets Tail
Numex Suave Orange
Jalapeño
Chocolate Douglah
MustardGum Nagabrain
Habanero El Remo
Saco de Velho
Have others picked out also but will update once I get everything picked out and starting in their trays. First set will be Jan 1st, second set around Jan 18-25.
More updates soon to follow! Happy growing!!
in the shade house
looking at greenhouse
few plants for the chickens to dig up
thanks for taking a look.
Okay so it's time to start the 2022 glog here at THP! Last year we started everything on January 1st and I think they were a little too big and root bound by the time May came around for plant out. Thinking that may of stunted the plants slightly so we are starting this year February 1st to see if that makes any difference. I'll include some pod porn and last year's plants cause we all know everyone on THP loves pictures.
The list for 2022 as of Jan. 20th 2022
1. K.S. Yellow Starburst
2. Dragons Breath
3. White Bubble Gum 7
4. Chocolate Bubble Gum 7
5. Star Scream
6. Gold Reaper
7. Peach Reaper
8. Red Reaper
9. Gold Reaper TX strain
10. Peach Reaper
11. White Reaper
12. Peach Ghost Jami
13. Blood Ghost TX strain
14. Red Ghost
15...
So, I got bored when my kid was sick.
Now I have a couple of plants coming and some hydrostuff. Kid did the planting part.
Started way too early, but I suspect that I will f* shit up atleast once, because I'm new to hydrophonics, going dwc.
Plan is to have 4 plants, 1 of each:
Sulu Adana
Papa dreadie g2 2018
Sugar Rush cream
Bahamian goat
Thanks to @Sawyer !!
hey all! never done one of these before. this is my third or fourth year growing, but i'm still an amateur. i grow in smallish raised planters (5-7.5 sq.ft. surface area) last year i had 3, this year added 2 more. i don't add anything to the plants apart from store-bought manure and some miracle-gro every week or two, i've never topped plants or even pinched flowers before.
so i am definitely welcoming to any advice or suggestions you guys have for me, and i thank you for checking out my posts.
so here we have my plants for this year (left to right in the pictures, assuming i succeed at attaching them). my mother-in-law germinates my seeds and raises the plants in infancy, since she is retired and has a modest greenhouse off her...
Let's get 2021 started!!!
My grow list is a blend of my yearly regulars, new peppers I want to explore, and unstable crosses. Like a lot of people, I can never seem to grow enough pepper plants to satisfy all my desires, so I have to make some decisions.
I have a lot of Annuums on my grow list this year. Even though they're not the hottest peppers, I always seem to find them useful.
2021 Grow List
Jax - A cross from 2020 between a Jamaican Yellow Mushroom and another unknown pepper
Bumpy Bottomed Sri Lankan Chili Red - A 2020 cross between a Sri Lankan Chili Red and another unknown pepper. It had a bumpy bottom compared to regular Sri Lankan Chili Reds, and was thicker-walled.
Jalapeño - One of my regulars.
Sri Lankan Chili...

Heres to a good grow season!!
I got a very late start on my first season growing chiles this year, so in lieu of processing ripe pods I’ve spent my energy dreaming about next year. I hope y’all’ll forgive me an early start on my glog for 2022.
This is pretty ambitious for what amounts to my first season seriously growing vegetables, but I do have a fair amount of other gardening experience. I also work from home (web development) and have a lot of moments between tasks or entire dead days when I can be gardening. Also, my partner will be growing those marked ‘K’. It’ll be a hustle, but we got this.
My specific goals for the year:
Experience growing a wide variety of species and cultivars to establish what grows well here and what is most useful in my kitchen...
My first year: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/70997-sivs-2019-first-time-glog/
My second year: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/73302-sivs-second-time-lucky-2020-glog/page-10
Planning is currently underway for year 3. I'll probably start seeds in February with a view to putting them out in March. My wife complained several times this year that I didn't grow enough peppers that she could use for cooking so this year I'm going to remedy that. I didn't grow any annuums last year so will be going for several this year. I'm not going to bother with pubes as they can't seem to take the Texas heat. I'm also not going to bother with baccatums this year either. I'm going to aim for 15-20 varieties allowing for 2-3 plants of each. I have way too...
Happy New Year!
With the new year comes a new Glog, hoping that 2021 is much better than 2020 (low bar, I know). I'm already pumped to get things going.
Here's what I'll be growing this year
5 Gal Kratkys
Fatalii - Always wanted to grow these. I've had germination issues in the past. Hopefully I'll get to finally grow one this year.
Antep Aci Dolma - I've read amazing things about this pepper. Looking forward to using it in the kitchen.
Carolina Reaper - The one and only. The king of sting. I just had to grow one of these.
Paquime Hybrid - These Jalapenos are gigantic. I see some Poppers in the future.
Yum-Yum Hybrid - Growing these for my wife. She wanted to try a different sweet pepper.
Habanero - A classic. I'm growing this...
And so it begins, another year of growing some peppers. This will be a sort of continuation of last year
http://thehotpepper.com/topic/73129-skullbikers-roaring-into-the-twenties-glog/page-1
as several of those plants are still going(and many got whacked and ended up on the burn pile).
Anyway, I have 3 trays of peppers sown and many have germinated already(mostly annums). I wanted to compare several different jalapeños for taste in real time. This tray is all jalapeños, ten types from 7 different vendors. The seeds in block 3 are from 2014.
Another tray with annums at each end and mostly rocotos in the middle(and they're taking their sweet time).
Join me in my 2021 journey from seed to bottle. Still waiting on a few things to come in the mail but I wanted to get some things started. Seven pot primo, red bhut, choc bhut, orange Thai, lemon habanero, red habanero, hot cherry, shishito, poblano, starfish, jalapeno, orange spice jalapeno, Hungarian orange, sweet banana, chocolate beauty bell, California wonder bell.all started with aged compost mixed with a Little pearlite.
Well, I hear tell it's (past) time to start a Glog, so why not give it a try. I've been on here for years and always enjoyed reading them. So, I thought it might be fun to write one for a change...or not? lol
Anyway, for this year's grow, I came up with a few themes. First, I'm participating in a couple of the THP grows, namely the Growdown Throwdown and the P. Dreadie SB grow. I'm doing a Bhut grow and a Jalapeno grow. I've already had some successful seed pops. Left half - Chinense, right half everything else (three weeks later). Needing some potting up.
Also, I'm attempting to do an “old seed” re-stock. I'm going back to the original seed I received many years ago from folks and try to isolate and produce new seed stock. They...
Hi, I'm Royce from South Africa and I've been growing peppers for a few years now. I've been really loving the baccatums and the Chinense BBGs so last year 2020 I decided to try my hand at some hybridizing and thought why not try cross the two species.
I made a friend in Italy who has been growing his baccatum x Chinense for a few generations and it got me excited to get it going.
My 1st interspecific is of Aji Cito x Mamp Black Berrygum. I grew it out this season and was very pleased that it was a successful attempt.
Please see my pictures and let me know what you think.
Hello, Cappers.
It's been a year a and a most of a pepper season since we moved to our new garden site. So I've been somewhat busy re-building.
Pepper seeds don't last forever, but I have 138 pepper seed lots going back 8 years maybe. So. what to do to get a jumpstart?
A few did sprout last year; Inca Red Drop, Cabe Merah Panjang, and a 7 Pot Barrockpore that I thought I'd try to overwinter.
The Panjang and 7 Pot B I left in the garage grow-shelves and they did OK until early spring when aphids ATE THEM MERCILESSLY down to a stem and few leaf buds.
The Inca got front row in the living room windows and produced by spring one ripe pepper (who's 4 seeds sprouted!).
I did receive a treasure chest from Sawyer of Papa Dreadie and Sulu Adana...
Hi. Although not new to pepper growing it's my start to THP. I'll try to maintain a decent log of my grow/experimentation, as i'm trying to figure out the best way to grow peppers in my northern canadian climate
Currently, i'm in my first try at overwintering. I have saved 4 habanadas feom last season. All have different growing condition.
My first 2 are simply in front of a south facing window. Currently i have about 8 hours from sunrise to sunset and weather is often cloudy/snowing
The one on the left has been dug out of the ground so both leaves and roots suffered a severe haircut. The one on the right was in a pot all summer long so only a minor root cut followed by transplanting was required. So far the healthier of the 4 by...

I am still in the planing stage for this year grow.
My list is not even properly formed .
I got alot of old seed that I've been going threw & waiting for a order to come in.
This year really the direction I've been heading these past seasons is geared towards pepper jelly or rather Jam as I come to believe that's what I actually make .
I'm also looking towards pickling & hot sauce making .
My ideal pepper profile is hot to very hot ,sweet & fruity not much floral citrus is fine as well.
I loved the Yellow Trinidad Scorpion I had some seasons back crunchy , juicy & sweet with fruity & citrus tones
It was pretty darn hot as well.
I may of been a cross the guy I tried it form never would give a clear answer .
If it was a cross I believe...

Hello THP fellows,
i haven't been posting much of lately so i thought it was time to share some quick shots.
This year's grow is really on a small scale due to the chronic lack of time, but i'm back to superhot land where little harvest goes a long time :D
- 2 x Chocolate Moruga (SLP)
- 2 x Trinidad Scorpion Red CARDI (Bhuter)
- 2 x Naga Morich (my seeds)
- 2 x Brain Strain (SLP)
Things have been rolling pretty slow so far but the nice weather is finally come and i hope to have some nice fruits hanging in the summer.

Welcome to the next episode of some half-witted fish neglecting pepper plants in Japan! While my wife will be keeping two of my off-season plants outside (KS Lemon Starrburst and Nanbu), the indoor stuff is -- aside from the SR Peach -- entirely new to me in terms of growing. So I'm hoping to get both some fun new flavors, particularly from the Casados, and a pod I'm absolutely in love with thanks to PaulG in the Jamaican red habanero. I expect this to be an excellent season for sauce.
The main characters were started in mini Kratky bottles based on Khang Starr's method for intentionally root-binding plants in small containers to force them to pod up quickly. Unfortunately, this did not work for me at all, so now I have a fun variety...
