PHB · Apr 9, 2013

Hi all ! So I decided to start a growlog to improve myself as a total beginner in growing chilies and to get your advices. I'll post updates and pics every week if I can. THE PLAN I've 2 houses in France : - a little flat in Paris : because the weather is very bad in Paris (< than 1600 hours of sunlight/year, cold, rainy & pollution) I can only grow peppers indoor. But my flat is rather small (40m²) so I grow things into my cupboard. - a farm in La Rochelle : I grew up in this farm which is not a big one because it's only 5 acres. It's located here, around 200 yards from the sea. The weather is usualy nice (same sunlight as the south of France, we have some kind of a microclimate). I've plenty of space to plant my peppers but...

You all have really helped me out from how to start seeds, which grow light to purchase, which potting soil to use, to how best to fight bug infestations. Because I followed the advice here on the forum, everything went smoothly starting the seeds indoors and growing the seedlings to respectable size for transplanting. It was only after that where I started doing things on my own where I ran into problems, haha. The first few months after transferring my seedlings outside was rough. I managed to make almost every typical rookie mistake in the book. First I encountered a rather severe green aphid issue, and instead of going to the local hydroponics shop or garden center I followed a home remedy guide utilizing dish soap as one of the...

Not growing to many varieties this year. I hope I have a good year for growing. x3 Red Savina (these plants are in their 2nd year) x2 Bengle Naga x1 Devils Rib x1 Jalapeño (now in its 4th year) also i'm growing a few sweet peppers. **All pictures are a week old and my 3 plugs have since been re-potted again into their final much larger pots**. My freshly potted Naga plug's. My Devils Rib.. it came very lop sided but thankfully since this photo my plant is now growing upright :) New growth on last years Red Savina, I grew them from seed and due to crappy weather they where very slow in growing last year. I over wintered them by basically leaving them on a windowsill with very little other treatment. Aphids did...

I know this is for peppers but this is what I am taking care of this year, I was given the 15 Habs and 3 Bhuts from Pex and the Bushy Tomato. The smaller Tomato was bitten by the nasty frost we got on May 15th, it is coming back though. The other Hab was bitten by the frost also, it is coming back slower than the Tom. The other plant behind the Hab I found when I was helping Pex dig his raised beds, it was a bulb cluster and that is what it is so far... I was very happy to see it grow. :D Two Bhuts in cat litter buckets. I really can't see my ipod's screen outside, sorry for the crappy picture quality. Frost bitten Tom. Anyone know what that plant is? Bushy Tom :) Better picture Brothers Hab :/ j REPOTTED...

Seeing the grow logs on here has inspired me to put up my own. It may not be the most interesting, the most frequently updated, or have the highest scoville units, but I think it will be fun to see how far I've come over the season and track my progress. I'm growing a lot more peppers this year than last year, including many new-to-me species.

Backdating things a bit... will add pictures later. Day 1: Seedlings arrived from the farm on June 1st. Took them out of the box, put them on plates, watered slightly, admired. Day 2: Left them outside for the day, brought them back in at night. Plants looked a little weakened from the sun. Day 3: Forgot to take them outside. Whoops! Day 4: Left them outside for the day and night. Rectangular planters & soil arrived. Day 5: Woke up to see that the plants all looked very, very wilted. Soil was bone dry. Added a good bit of water to each (far more than I'd been watering previously; I had probably been severely underwatering in retrospect) and they all looked as healthy as I'd ever seen them by the end of the day. Day 6...

Bhuts are getting taller :) And they have their first peppers :D (yes, I know the pic is crappy, dug the garden myself and my hands wouldn't stop shaking.....) Second bhuts pepper :) the tallest one has two new ones. I have four more habs to put in the ground. The last one in the second row has IT'S FIRST PEPPERS! :D So excited! I think the others may have peppers, but I really noticed those because they are pretty big xP :D Nothing like some good hard work xP Hah. All clean :D and very proud of myself.

Catastrophic · Jun 28, 2013

So I've decided to pair my love of all things spicy with my total hack gardening knowledge and glog the results. It's your time to waste... I acquired 2 earthboxes from a garage sale awhile back for pennies on the dollar and elected to put them to use on this project. The plants were all provided to me absolutely gratis by the supremely awesome and overwhelmingly generous KingLeerUK, known hither and yon on this very site. The dude drove out to my house in the pouring rain to give me free plants. He is the man. The victims: The operating theater: Homemade compost tea for after the transfer: And the results: Since I have run up against my 5 image limit, I'll spare you an additional post featuring the other box...

The new year is in but the growing from 2012 never ended. some I missed peach Bhuts and Peach Ghost Scorpions, along with about 30 more Moruga Scorpions from my own seed stock.

Melissa77754 · Dec 27, 2012

Hey everyone!! It's been awhile since I have been able to catch up with all my THP friends! Work, family and my continuous grow leaves me no free time.BUT I don't let the lack of free time get in the way of doing what I love, growing! My outdoor season is still going, production is down because they hate the cold but still picking so I am good with that! Plants look sad but even with low 30's nights they are still flowering/setting and ripening pods. I see them on the weekend right now, my step children plants because when I get home from work it's dark! lol I have been busy behind the scenes getting a super early head start on the 2013 season!! Fired up my indoor tent in September with my 4 bulb T5 and some monster CFL's, November...

New Flowers on the Smallest Bhut :) Better picture Growing!! :) Check out this one!!! :D Have too many cat litter jugs? Use a utility knife to cut the top off :) (be very careful.....) :) Found the plastic bucket and the plastic flower pot in my basement. :) I put holes in the plastic bucket and will repot some of the habs when I get dirt for them. :)

fupalooter · Jun 4, 2013

Well, this forum has sparked a new passion in my life. It has continued to grow even down to the hour as I check my seedlings almost hourly. I am looking for as many opinions or words of advise from all of you seasoned Chili-Heads. I have a few pictures here that show some of my progress so far. It seems everyday I am finding something new and making a trip to the local Home Depot or Lowe's. Well I might have bitten off more than I can chew on my first season but im going to make the best of it! First sprouts a few weeks ago. Original setup with only one fixture with two 6500k T8 bulbs.... and the super hots soaking. Super hots soaking... THE CURRENT SETUP... a few modifications have been done since the above photos...

**UPDATE 6/24*** Over 1 week later and I have updates!!! 1.) Poblano- Still only the one pod, although it has grown...many branches but the buds are falling off before they flower :< Anyone have any idea why? 2.) Trinidad Red Hab- First pepper! :party: Still a baby but you can see a bunch of buds coming in as well. Hopes restored! 3.) Trinidad Purple Coffee- This one is becoming my personal favorite. The pods are sooo vividly purple it's crazy ( Go Ravens :P) and they are just popping up everywhere, even on the base of the plant (out of frame) 4.) Trinidad Scorpion- Slow and steady wins the race. Expect pods in the next update! I am also pleased/apprehensive to announce I will record and post me eating my first...

The Tomatoe plant reeeeallly love the epsome salt I gave it. :) Brand new Tomatoe. The first Bhut grew a lot. I took the second one out, rinsed off the roots and stuck my hand in the dirt carefully putting the Bhut back in, I didn't look like the roots were going down towards the bottom of the pot.... I think I may take my brother's hab to Pex's, it looks worse. :( Makes me a bit sad....

Rancor · Jun 13, 2013

Alright, after much negligence and procrastination, I've finally managed to get around to pulling the pictures off of my phone and start this here grow log. I'm Rancor. I live in Tennessee. I like good whiskey and hot peppers. Now that we've been introduced, I'll give you a bit of background. I started this whole pepper growing endeavor in good ol' 2011. Modest first year. Did some research and did better the next year. End of 2012, hopped up on craft beer, caffeine, and PepperGuru's over-wintering guide, I decided to chop down my favorite plants and let them continue life. Nov. 2012 Fast forward to March 2013. After a miserable winter in a 4x3x5 grow tent with two 105w (real wattage, they're physically huge), and a 45w and 65w...

Hello ALL! Well, I am finally all moved and almost settled in the new DIGS in the Great Metropolis of Moosonee Ontario... :welcome: If you are wondering WHERE THE HELL is that..go North of Timmins Ontario and you eventually hit James Bay (which is then part of Hudson's Bay!!!!). Moosonee is about 7 miles south of James Bay. I have subtly asked quite a few people if they like spicy foods or Hot Chili peppers, and it seems unanimously that NO ONE enjoys hot and/or spicy foods here. :mope: :tear: :mope: Though I still have to talk to the few Asian people who live here... But it seems that only my wife (who's Indonesian) and I like Spicy foods and Hot Peppers. Moving along... So, recently I went shopping at the local (actualy the ONE...

BigPapaPepper · May 3, 2013

I have just finished putting plants in to my newly built raised beds for my 2013 growing season. These are mainly starter plants that i bought online from John Ford or at the herb festival from Smoking J's Fiery Foods. I have a quick glog video to show where things are going. I have a different house from last season that gets better sun so I should have better results! I will have many more plants going into pots as they mature. Hopefully i will get a ton of Reapers by the end of the season! Thanks for looking :) EDIT: Wanted to add the pepper varieties i am growing and who they came from to support the great people on THP as well as other chile heads and vendors that got me into growing and eating these wonderful different peppers...

Poopasaurous! · Apr 4, 2013

Howdy yall! This is my first grow. For now I'm growing Bhut Jolokia and Butch T Scorpion peppers. I recieved around 3 pounds of these peppers in January of 2012. It took me a long time to find these peppers because there isn't a market around here for super hots. I know a gal who works at my local courthouse and her boss, which is the head of the drug n alcohol program, gave me the peppers. I took the seeds out of most of the peppers and ate every one of these tasty peppers. Knowing that I have recieved an addiction to super hots which was supplied by the main drug/alcohol man,I had to start growing. This is a month after germ...March 2 This is March 15-at this time I had a recirculating DWC going This is today April...

lock203 · Aug 28, 2012

I have ordered the new carolina reaper from Pepper Joe and thought I would start a grow log. Since I'm waiting to recieve the seeds and germinate them, I will show everyone the peppers I currently have growing. From left 2x banana; 2x TSBT; 1 Yellow Bhut; 2x Naga; 2x banana ( seeds from Pepper Joe) TSBT; Yellow Bhut; 2x Naga The next plants were started from seeds given to me by a customer. Don't remember how old they were in this pic. Here are some pics of these guys around 3 months. I'm new to growing peppers, so I have no idea what types of peppers these are lol. If anyone lives near Champaign, IL I will have extra seedlings and pods (when they're ready) for free. Thanks for looking. Scott

Cayennemist · Jan 4, 2013

Happy new year all! We made it, it wasn't the end of the world. No Zombie Apocalipse, No Revolution, just a typical year full of Politcal BS. Well now that I'm not prepping for the end of the world, its back to reality. I enrolled in into School to get my B.S. in IT Security, so I have a feeling I will have a little less time for updates and such. Reguardless, I plan on spening a lot of time in the garden this year. I had a blast last year out in the garden but I became quit the Organic Evanglist >.< Well This year I plan on putting my money where my mouth is to show those in doubt that organic gardening is easy, cheap, and very effective. So this year I will be following these rules as a chalenge, and to prove to my self and to...

scratchzilla · Oct 25, 2012

Alright, the season is officially over in Vermont, so it's time to fire up the lights and grow some peppers indoors. This is always my favorite part about winter. I love being able to come home after work and still have some sunshine to play in. Considering it gets dark around 4:30 in the deepest parts of winter, I'll take any sunlight I can get! I'm giving hydroponics a go this winter, so this will be a huge learning experience for me. But, if we didn't learn something new each time, it would get pretty boring, wouldn't you say? Alright, peppers! Plants are currently under 3 2' 4100k T8 lights, 17w each for a total of 51w of light. DWC buckets with GH Flora series nutrients This is my Carolina Reaper(hp22-b) seeding. She's about...

So I've Been putting this off for awhile becasue I'm a horrible procrastinator (with growing you always have to wait for tomorrow). This has been my fist pepper grow from seed and it's been a alot of fun. I will only have two updates. One, to show how I got my peppers growing. One to show what I have at the end of the year. I know two updates are not a true glog, but I will appreciate any input, advise or critique from a great community of pepper growers. The List: Most seeds from Pepperlover and a couple from Pepper Joe. A few from myself. Seeds Were palnted Feb 1. I ended up with four of each plant.

Frydad's Hot Mess Glog. To describe my setup is kinda difficult. I am a teacher by trade, but not a teacher like you think of the term. I teach young children, old children, adults, I teach reading, writing, artithmatic, I teach people how to teach. I teach people with disabilities, I teach people without disabilities, I teach gifted people. I teach life skills, I teach marine skills, I teach social skills, I'm all over the place. Don't bother looking too far into this, it's not worth it. Anyway, I have access, through work, to a ilghted grow cart. It was sitting in a science lab somewhere, and I took it. Squatter's rights. My plan is to get these babies going, and then split them between my students, my home, and some for Sum...

Valleyman · May 8, 2013

I got bit by the "superhots" bug a little late for this northern boy but none the less I'm giving some Reapers a try. Along with the Reapers, I have Tekanotsumes, Congo Trinidads, Passillo Bajio, Jalapeno's for the hots and some Corno di Toro for my sweets. I sowed the Carolina Reaper, Tekanotsume, and Passilla seeds on April 12 and the Congo's and Corno Di Toro's on March 31st. I use a heat mat and T5's to get them started then I move them to my unheated greenhouse.

Greetings, all! I'm sure there are a ton of new faces here on THP, as par for the course when I don't make many appearances for extended periods of time! Anyway, I wanted to get the foot back in the door with my 2013 Glog! I took a short break headed through the late autumn into the winter now, but a chilehead's work is never done once truly dedicated! I've been piecing together my supplies for awhile now, and reinvested in some new Mylar emergency blankets to hang up in the corner of my laundry room, just like I did last year. This year, however, I have been using sticky Velcro strips to the walls and blankets for easy removal and reapplcation in years to come. So far, it's been wonderful. I also recently went browsing on Amazon for...

Hi pepperlovers... :welcome: Inspired by all your growlogs I decided to start one my self... I have only started my second season and this is the first attempt to grow hydroponics... I have read alot and think that I am well suited to start, but I don't expect it to not cause any trouble... I bought a WaterFarm and drilled larger and more holes into the topbucket and throw an airstone into the reservoir... I read somewhere that it could improve the system a little... Beside that I throw together some parts and got myself a bubblerbucket... I bought the 3 part nutrients from General Hydroponics (Flora), PH-down and a PH-testkit as well... I have an EC-meter on the way home from somewhere in asia... Untill I get the EC-meter I have to...

We do all natural gardening and eating and are trying to get back into the blog thing. Wife was doing great about it for a while and then the kiddo got mobile! So is it kosher to post my url since I am basically doing a growlog on my wife's website? www.revivingrealfoods.com. I am learning as I go, so I really would appreciate any help. I am in Fort Worth, TX if that matters to anyone. I grew my first peppers last year, and this year was my first attempt to seed.
