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...

Ontario Canada 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...

ThatGuyBrett · Feb 9, 2013

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...

masschilehead · Mar 22, 2013

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...

Dorutzu · Mar 7, 2013

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...

Onefstsnake · Mar 19, 2013

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:

Gtf3188s · Mar 12, 2013

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.

deadmongoose · Mar 4, 2013

I bought a house last fall and my first thought was that I finally able have a garden with all the peppers I wasn't able to have before. My first and only prior tinkering with peppers was a couple years ago when I rented a house and was able to have about 8 pots with various varieties. This year I'm converting the back third of my backyard into a raised bed garden packed with peppers...and whatever other things the girlfriend decides. I have a few pics of my preliminary work, I started my seeds in paper towels in a bag at the beginning of February and started transferring them to peat pots a week or so ago. My basement is a little chilly still, about a 60 deg ambient temp, but I had luck using a heat lamp wrapped in an emergency...

Okay guys so this is my first post on this forum! Its the first time i grow chiles and i hope its gonna go well. I live in Sweden so i think this will be fun to follow because i guess its kind of a different climate than in USA... I only have a balcony so i cant plant very much seeds. I placed an order two days ago on some seeds. Heres what i ordered (the ones with "?" i would be happy if someone could tell me the scovilles of) : Bird's Eye Baby - ?

el hombre chilli · Jul 25, 2012

As a younger man I used to love hot foods, but over the years sort of drifted to the mild. After and extended trip through South and Central America with my wife I started getting back into foods with heat and in particular chillis. When we finally got back we started a little herb garden on our balcony. After chatting with my cousin (Nee), i decided to give pepper growing a go. I started with two seedlings from a local big box store, an orange hab and a mystery chilli called razzamattaz (i think). The raz fruited well, but the hab flowered a small bit, but that was that. They started to get a bit mangy at the start of winter so I pruned them right back and brought them inside. They withered a bit in May/June and I thought they...

BakersPeppers · Mar 4, 2013

Ok, What we decided to do here is this....We decided that most likely theres quite a few people out there that are going to be getting FREE seedlings from us this Spring 2013. I also thought that most of you would like to probably follow your future plants from seed to your front door as a seedling 5" tall or so :) So im making a mini GLOG just for these! To catch everyone up, each person holding one of the below pictured "Redemption Vouchers" will get a Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate, Trinidad Scorpion Moruga, and 7 Pot Brain Strain Red plant delivered for FREE around May 1st or so :) These were also sold as Holiday Seedlings packages and such too, so you folks as well can follow the progress of your plants you purchased :) I will...

detroitgirl77 · Feb 19, 2013

I just started up my peppers on the 11th doing the paper towel germination thing. Started having tails popup on the 15th and many more are coming. Already planted over 100 germinated seeds in 72 cell jiffy trays and I already have bunch of baby plants. Will update with what I'm starting along with pics once I get onto a computer. Here's my 2013 Gardening Album on facebook. All the pics I'm posting here are also there as well. I apologize in advance for the huge pics.

JesterJoker · Dec 3, 2012

Hey everyone, I have been waiting to start a proper glog, so here it goes. Light: Hydrofarm FLP48 4-Feet/8-Tube T5 , and other Various small T8 Shop light fixtures. (Low wattage) Grow Area: Corner of basement, 2-3 x foot print of grow light. I will start taking pictures tonight of my setup, or make a quick video with my Kodak Zi8 camera. I'm going to probably setup as many pots that will fit under my light and then when they grow out I will start giving away plants to friends/family. I'm only growing: (Mostly Reaper's but also) Carolina Reaper (HP22B) - Seeds Straight from PuckerButt Primo - Straight from the Source Yellow Douglah - Won here on a giveaway. Peach Bhut - Came from Ajijoe I think. I purchased a decent number of...

kiddc · Feb 15, 2013

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my growing mistakes and progress here. Plants i have going on are:- - Assam Bhut - Billy Biker Jalapenos - Giant Jalapeno - Aji Limon - Fresno - Trinidad moruga scorpion - Goronong (op) - Generic bell peppers (i need more sweet pepper for daily eating) My soil is a mixture of 3 parts soil, 1 part worm compost , 1 part peat and a some perlite. I *try* to grow organically. My feeds are mainly chicken poop, worm compost and worm tea. I crush penicillins and calmag supplements to give to my plants once or twice during the year (i guess this makes it un-organic) I live in Malaysia, where it's hot and humid. I grow all year long and have pest problems year long too as there's no winters here to kill them...

southerncanada · Feb 5, 2013

This is my second year with a serious hot pepper growing addiction. I will be doing deck and greenhouse peppers this year and I have 9 varieties germinating. Thai dragons, scotch bonnets, red habaneros, anchos, pasilla bajio, cayenne, jalapeno, filius blue and serranos. I am lucky enough to have southern exposure with lots of windows so some peppers will be grown with natural sunlight and some under t5 ho floros. I have one thai chili I started a few months ago that is grown under natural light on sunny days and floros on not so sunny days. I hand pollinate it on a daily basis lately and have already eaten pods.

Kramer Chids · Nov 23, 2012

I really like the Glogs on this forum as it is such a great way to learn and see what folks are doing and growing. I grow a lot indoors with most of my collection being Parvisepalum Orchids, a few straggler Tillandsia, violets, dyckia, and Cryptanthus. My son is getting a rather nice collection of Carniverous plants going that includs Nepenthes, Sarracenia, Drosera, and Flytraps. I will post pictures of those later. I focus my growing as organic as possible and grow under HO T5's. I will be starting the following seeds right now for 2012/2013: Trinidad Douglah x Trinidad Scorpion (Brown) F3 - (Silver_Surfer) 7 Pod Brain Strain (Red) - (Silver_Surfer) Trinidad Douglah x Butch T (Red) - (Silver_Surfer) Chocolate Bhut Jolokia -...

Matt50680 · Feb 23, 2013

Well it is that time again isnt it? I have decided I am going to grow only a couple varieties this year. I started them in a 72 cell tray thursday night, so not much to show at this point, but here is the list: 18 Bhut Jolokia Indian Carbon 18 Trinidad Scorpion Butch T 8 7-Pot White 6 Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate 12 Brain Strain Red 4 Brain Strain Yellow 6 Shishito - I love these things even though they have no heat at all I am going to buy a couple Habanero and Jalapeno plants from Lowes or Menards when it gets closer to planting time, no sense in wasting my seed starting time on stuff I can just buy locally. I am going to wait a couple more weeks before I start tomatoes, but then they will be: 6 Beefsteak 6 Roma 6 Believe It Or Not...

Spicy Chicken · Jan 7, 2012

Hello everyone! Planting seeds is still a couple of weeks away yet but thought I would start out with an introduction and let you know a little bit about our place we call The Hot Spot or should I say what others call it, I call it a garden. ;) Here is a little bit about our hobby farm and how we turned what once was an old abandon farm into our favorite place to be. This is a family oriented hobby farm located in Northeastern Wisconsin. The farm is about elevan acres in size but we are utilizing only a small portion for the garden. Even though our growing time is short we use every day given to produce some of the best peppers in the state. We have lived here since 2002 and our garden is just a smidge over 1/2 acre. As...

badger126 · Feb 13, 2013

Well I thought I'd post up a glog since everyone else seems to be doing it (that's a good reason right?). Anyways, I'm a totally new grower. We had a garden last year but that was with a group of people and all I did was help weed and engineer the irrigation system. I don't have any prior knowledge about how to grow plants - including peppers - and make them big. I'd like to see some good fruit off of my plants this year so any help you guys wanna throw my way would be greatly appreciated. That's actually one of the reasons that I wanted to start this thread is so that people can catch me when I'm doing something wrong and set me straight. I've read through some glogs on here, mostly last year, so I have some basic ideas but no coping...

Pulpiteer · Jan 26, 2012

I thought I'd do a grow log this year, since I've enjoyed reading the ones that other folks do. I'm up in Michigan and last year was able to get the plants in the garden in mid-May, but that isn't a sure thing. I'm starting a bit early, but I want the plants to be a good size when I do get them in, so that I don't have to wait until later in the Fall to harvest. If we would've had an early frost last year, I would've been in trouble. The grow log puts a bit of pressure on. If this is a tremendous failure, then it'll be public. I've been gardening for awhile, and had great luck with my peppers last year, but I'm taking a giant step up this year, so we'll see. Here is my grow list: 1. Douglah x4 Ajijoe 2. Scotch...

Weed · Feb 10, 2013

I am finally getting an early jump on my peppers. Up until this year its been mainly jalapenos and a bell type sweet. Here is what I'm starting with. The rocoto pack says mixed because I am illiterate and thought I was combining red with red when I really combined red with orange. So now I have one mixed pack and one each still separate. I grow these for myself but the wife and I also sell at the local farmers market. I have to start a lot more plants than I need for myself and there is a lack of germination space. I didnt invent this method but if you look at how they come up when a pod or tomato drops this is kinda what it looks like. That leads me to this... As you can see the cells have duct tape on them and are labeled. For...

HwyBill · Jan 6, 2013

The 2013 season has begun! :onfire: I planted about 80-85 varieties overall, nearly 100 seeds, and filled up 2 full Jiffy trays. There are seeds that are proven performers, seeds I haven't been able to germinate yet and just wanted to give another shot, seeds that I just recently got in trades and purchases, and seeds sourced and gathered from places like Nepal, Sir Lanka, New Zealand, India, Italy, Australia, Peru, and the Home Depot in Kileen, Texas (Fort Hood). I have peppers ranging in piquance from sweet Bell's to the much lauded Carolina Reaper. spp. range from annum to baccatum to chinense to frutescence to praetermissum to pubescens to wild types and unindetified spp. I even planted two "Blue Mystery" pepper seeds...

ccernst · Feb 5, 2013

Last year was a bad year for the garden. The heat almost took out the peppers and was a problem elsewhere. 2013 will be better. So far, I've already gotten my seeds started as of 2/2/13 and already have a seed coming out of the shell, a Casper Ghost pepper. Not the white Ghost...but a mutated Ghost Pepper that has little to no heat...so he's a friendly ghost. ;) I'm keeping track of my notes here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlAQsauCxVpxdE53ZTI4OVdzeXdLbG45TFY5T3NsWUE&usp=sharing First time trying to do an online spreadsheet, but I think it will really work well.

Well I thought its about time I wrote a Glog so here it goes. I've always loved chilli and have bought plants before mainly habs and birdseyes, I've tried starting some seeds last year but unfortunitly it was late winter and I had no luck, so after last years flop and this year I decided to give it a proper go and I know its just come into winter down here but I thought hey why not :D it'll be a good early start to the growing season. So my mission was to throw something together with the stuff I already have sitting around the house or free from somewhere else... I knew I had an incubator but its to small for all the plants I wanted to start and the heating element is low wattage but hey I figured I could fit the lid with the...

Shandley · Jan 24, 2013

Greetings! NOTE: All edits will be done to this first post until it gets full. All photos will be in timeline style (oldest first). I see snow but that's not stopping me! I have already germinated some 7 Pot peppers with a 100% germination rate. The Chocolate Habs (also 100% germination) are now in seedling containers waiting to pop. My Trinidad Scorpion seeds are a major bust. I tried multiple ways of germinating the seeds and there is nothing in any of them after nearly a month. Fail. My germination and growing method is easy: 1. Soak seeds for 24 hours in pre-boild water in a container near a heat source (my laptop fan outlet works great as it's on all the time). 2. Drain seeds and put into large prescription bottles on a damp...

My propergation light. Verigated leaves..? Yellow veins anyone..? Thanks to the kind THP folks it turned out I was loving them too much. Look at them now :)! The result of using old potting mix. The jungle!

FiyaEater · Feb 3, 2013

Well I decided to do a glog on here. I have no frickin clue what I am doing but I have read a bunch of other successful glogs and trying to take something here and there to see if It'll work for me. Living in western Washington growing super hots will be a challenge due to no guarantees on hot summers each season. But I got a portable greenhouse 6x6x6 for Christmas so this should help a lot. I started some store bought jalapenos a couple of weeks ago in some "experimental" soil. Do to a lot of factors I had some problems with them once they sprouted. More of that later. So here is a list of what I am currently growing. I got the seeds from a very nice person on another gardening page. I am very grateful for his generosity. *Disclaimer*...
