Since late last year I've been starting seedlings in waves because of limited space and other constraints. So I have a good number of plants in varying stages of growth, with some trying to flower too. The plants are looking good and I am poised to have some tremendous harvests. Last year I only grew a fraction of the what I am attempting this year and even then I had a hard time keeping up with the harvests. I am sure I will go crazy with all the peppers this year.
Here is the where most of the plants start out:
Focusing on some individuals:
Murupi Amarela
Praetermissum initiating its first fork:
Chacoense:
Fatalii x Choco Bhut F2:
Sonoran Chiltepin:
A Brown Rocoto about to flower:

Hi PepperHeads!
It's been a while since I posted anything about my peppers, but it does not mean I was not following what's going on THP. As usual I did not only get inspiration, but also useful hints and kindness from the team members. And on the top of that, I managed to infect some of my friends, my family and my girlfriend with this addiction. :P
Anyways, ling story short, last december Jack and Ela (aka Superhot and Ela on this forum) was so kind and sent me a batch of seeds (thank you for that, again):
- Bhut Jolokia Indian Carbon
- Fatalii Red/Yellow
- Tobago Seasoning
- Naga Morich
- Trinidad Scorpion CARDI Yellow
Unfortunately I could not make the Fatalii and Tobago Seasoning germinated, probably I cooked them with my...
Hi all. I've learned so much from reading the Glogs of others that I've decided to put mine out there. Hopefully someone can say, "Hey, you're doing it wrong!" before its too late.
I got seeds from Refining Fire Chiles. The seeds were for Butch T, Bhuts, and Douglah. I soaked them overnight in water that I had boiled then cooled to room temp. All the seeds sank to the bottom, which I've read is a good thing. (?) Anyway, I got one of those 72 cell Jiffy Mini-Greenhouses with heater pad to germinate these. I didn't use the peat pellets. The germinating instructions that came with the seeds said not to use peat pots because of their acidity. I didn't know if this applied to the pellets or not, so I filled the tray with Organic...
So here we go guys in the mix is my two naga jolokia's(cross)of sorts back from Nov 2011 my first Pepper looked to be some kindly of a scorpion

It's the last year of the Earth so I hope I get this right for once.
Last year I bought a house and 5.7 acres with the sole intention of starting a farm and commercial greenhouse and grow operation.
The goal is to eventually expand to also growing fish but that is 5 years away in my head.
Within a few weeks of buying the house I was already clearing off an acre to use for the garden. Eventually I got to the point I could start turning over the ground.
I now have about 4500 sq ft tilled but still I need more space.
This year I am growing corn, honeydew, watermelon, peanuts, red potatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, sweet peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes and pumpkins.
More to follow.
Finally after a brutally busy spring season at my webshop it is slowing down a bit and I have the time to start a Glog.
For those that don't know me as I haven't posted in maybe 6 months, I'm mido or Wouter in real life and I'm from the netherlands. I grow peppers in a 12 meter long plastic tunnel greenhouse in what I have 36 compartments to keep the different varieties of peppers seperated to prevent crossbreeding. This I do because I sell some of the seeds.
Here is a picture of the tunnel when it was just build, at the moment te picture was taken I just stared building the compartments.
Besides the tunnel greenhouse I also have a smaller greenhouse.
This year I'm growing 49 varieties of peppers Isolated and 18 varieties of...
Hi everyone,
Im back again to give it another go. I had a great last season. However, this season things have changed.
I have recently moved into a small apartment very close to Melbourne and my grow space is much smaller then last year.
This year I am going for bigger pots in a hope to produce big plants. Last season I had great success with big pots and hence have overwintered a few plants.
Here's a few shots of where I am at.
Overwintered Bishops Crown
Overwintered Butch T
Orange Hab in BIG pot
Brown Scotch Bonnet, Red Scotch Bonnet, Aji Lemon ready to go into BIG pots today
Black Pearl
Seedlings coming up (Brown 7 pod, Red Trinidad Habanero, Bih Jolokia, Brown Scotch Bonnet, Birdseye, Tobasco and more) I am hoping to...
Well, I figure I would start a grow log myself for this season. I have a numerous amount of ideas I want to use, but will be posting them as I go. I usually get lazy with my grows and forgot about them, but trying to turn over a new approach this year.
For starters, here are a few pictures of my Chocolate Habanero, AJI Lemon's, Red Brain Strain. They seeds were planted on November 11, 2011, and all sprouted between last week of November and the first week of December.
So hopefully I can get a least of handful of you guys to follow it so that way it will help keep me extra motivated to keep doing it.
P.S.
My spelling and grammar are typically horrible, but I blame the Fla education system in be raned in the 40's for US educations.
Hello there everyone!
This is my first glog on The Hot Pepper and I am very excited to be sharing with you all
For the coming 2013 grow season I have the following seeds coming my way
~Naranja Picante
~Trinidad Yellow 7 Pot
~Devil's Tongue
~Fatali
~Bhut Jolokia
~Trinidad Scorpion (Butch T)
~Trinidad Scorpion (Moruga)
~Paper Lantern

I do expect to be expanding this list, hopefully
I will provide pics through the process, but as for right now I am waiting on delivery of seed
Hope to get lots of feed back (good and bad)

So i finally got restarted...... very slowly, small # of plants.... so here goes.... one week after setting seeds....... These are actually from a brain strain that had undergone a couple generations in a small farm.... not sure what kinda crossing happened... but we'll see.....
Check out the babies:
Gonna get me some Jolokia's started tmr.....
Yeah i know.... small number of plants n only two types.... no worries... i'll get back to where i was eventually... gotta start back somewhere....
So it's my first time growing chillies from seed, and my first time growing anything in the minute space that Sydney city would have me believe is an apartment. Nonetheless, I believe I have a fairly good little germination area kicking along. Having bought some seeds last year, I decided to plant some superhots, and anything else that took my fancy. As it stands at the moment I have 5 varieties growing:
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
Bhut Jolokia
Jalapeño
Chocolate Habanero
C. Frutensens (more on these later)
This is my little grow set up in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. According to the thermometer that I have in there, the temperature I pretty constant at 26 - 27 degrees C (about 80 degrees F).
I decided to grow in...
Ok this is how I did this in this my first year.. I started every thing in a Jiffy seed house with lid oust side.. So I have 20 jalapeno plants 10 serono's , 10 pablano's , 10 anaham. O Habano's of the 2 made it past transplant..
So I transplanted them in to MG garden soil... Guess I will wait and see how they do..
Last night I started the last of my Habanero seeds. I am using my cable box as a heat pad. I am just useing a baggie and paper towl. I will post up how it works out.
I will be growing them in mushroom compost sand dirt and manure..
I will fallow the Pepper Joes tips for ferts.
UPDATE Habs as far as I can death by slug... Guess I need to give them Beer..

So I happened to come across some seeds for the recently developed ornamental/culinary Black Pearl.
I started germination in a damp paper towel in a plastic bag taped to a sunny window on 9/6. In two and a half weeks, one seed (out of 10) had germinated. Here he is on 9/25 starting to poke his head out of the soil.
This is going to be a small grow-log about just a couple of black pearl plants. I've noticed that there haven't been many of these done yet online so I felt I should contribute and share my experiences. :)
So these are some pics of my plants this year. I transplanted them outside maybe two-three weeks ago. The ones in pots are in a mixture of compost, peat, and Promix organic. They are doing great. Though seeing some of your guys set ups they should be spitting out peppers by now! The first pic is a pepper I brought back from china. I labeled it facing heaven pepper but it is actually just a regular pepper that was used liberally in schezaun food there. I found some actual Facing heaven peppers at a local chinese market. Ill test them out to see if they are growable for next year. The second shot is a red scotch bonnet. I also have bhuts, two are from my first year two years ago in one pot, and yellow scotch bonnets.
Then there are some...

Started today, 7 22 2012 first attempt at an "Aerogarden".
Many great seeds from members, but only 7 spots to occupy for this grow.
Using an aerogarden extra, with recommended mix of Fisch Industries fert, surrounded on 3 sides with reflective mylar, 24 hr. light.
Top row:
Smitty---Naga Jolokia.
Pepper Joe---Fatali
AlphaHydroponics----Datil
jsschrstrcks---Yellow Devils Tongue
Bottom Row:
ajijoe--Peach Habalokia
ajijoe--Douglah
Pepper Joe--Butch T.
I have many more seeds for spring 2013, but really wanted to get a "members only" planting for fall/winter.
I am very aware that the majority, if not all are OP seeds---some I have taken out of pods I bought from members.
Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Seeds From Dale were ones I wanted to...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReRDlSAo8sQ&feature=plcp link to a video of my garden I know its a little late to start posting updates but tecnology can be very unfriendly... but what can you do, ''put it in a blender''
Okay, so I have been incognito here on the forums for the last couple of months. Been distracted by video games, working on house projects, etc. Anyway, I decided last week that once I laid the vinyl flooring in my laundry room that I would start germinating my seeds! I have settled on 20 varieties for this year, with (as many as) 50 plants, some of which I will keep at my mother's house, since she has a big garden space that won't all be used this year. I have the following varieties planted in Jiffy pellets in a "Germination Station" heating mat. I represented the "Big 5" species (Chinense, Annuum, Baccatum, Pubescens, Frutescens) with at least one variety, and also have a couple wilds (C.Lanceolatum, and one called "Tio") to round it...
Season 2012/2013 will be my 6th growing year and while first three years were quite successful (beginners luck :P ) last three are not so good especially last one primarily due extreme weather in this part of the world (eastern Europe, Croatia) - this year last frost date was in the middle of May followed with hot June/July and extreme scorching August with temperatures around 40C (104F) and with humidity around 20%.
At first part of this growing season plants were full of pods (Trinidad Scorpion Butch-t, Nagabon, Douglah and Naglagh) and everything looks like perfect year but when heat started plants constantly lose all flowers so production of pods was quite poor.
I'm not biggest fan of overwintering plants and I prefer to start...
With that being said, to my grow log.

For those of you who are still here, I’m Matt, and you can call me that. That or homie, bro, chief, man, buddy, or Javier. This is season number 2 and last year was a disaster. Somewhere between scouring the web to find out why all my plants couldn’t break the 2 foot mark I ran across this forum, and bam, hooked. I started...
Hi everybody!
I think I'm gonna start with sowing at the beginning of March 2012.
The seeds are all stored in my seeds book, but I'm having short time till the end of February; moreover I'm not gonna use any lightbox, so I'll grow indoor till the outside temperature is rising again in Southern Italian spring.
I started growing in 2011 for the very first time, reaching the amount of about 25 pots/15 different varieties at the end of May; other 15 were given as gifts to friends and relatives.
My growing list for 2012:
CHINENSE
Bih Jolokia Chocolate
Bih Jolokia Assam
Naga Morich
Fatalii
Habanero Orange
Habanero Chocolate
Habanero White
Habanero Red Savina
Chupetino
Trinidad Scorpion
TS Morouga
T. Douglah
7 Pod
7 Pod Brown
7 Pod Strain...
I just now got the idea at put my grow list in here to save it for reference because I am ordering seed/pepper for next year and need my member grow list for 2013.
Had a good year and saved a lot of the seeds for planting next year---best selling locally here in Door County was no heat specialty little peppers from ajijoe. No one wants to try anything that they do not know and are afraid of the heat/spice.
If anyone wants some open pollinated seeds of these let me know---I did not save them all but have some of these.
Message me with any requests.

Last year was my first year growing chilli's seriously and was my first time with superhots. As I didn't produce a grow log I'll start with a quick recap
I grew the following varieties:
7 Pot Jonah
Aji Limon
Bih Jolokia
Bhut Jolokia
Indian PC-1
Naga Morich
Orange Habanero
Red Devils Tongue
Red Scotch Bonnet
Trinidad Scorpion
Trinidad Scorpion Morouga Blend
Of these I chose to put 3 each of Bih Jolokia, 7 Pot Jonah, Naga Morich and Trinidad Scorpion Morouga Blend in the ground in the greenhouse (limited space). The rest either went in to 11 litre pots initially in the greenhouse, in the ground outside, or were sold.
Germination:
Some windowsill time:
Ready for plant up:

I had a pretty successful little Habanero plant a few years ago, but haven't been anywhere long enough to try again. But this year I'm stable enough to try again, so here is my beginner's glog and we can all laugh at my newbie mistakes, or beginner's luck together.
I'm attempting 3 different peppers this year: Habaneros, Cayennes, and Kung Pao. Nothing too special, just some common store brands. I'll try some super hots next year.
Planted them into peat pellets on Thursday the 15th, so probably not another update until they sprout. I'll be transferring them into 5 gallon drywall buckets after that.
We'll see how it goes. I'll post some pictures of the first sprouts when they arrive.
See ya then!
So this is my first time trying to grow superhots from seeds so hopefully I will get some plants out of all this. Anyways I started 80 seeds on Jan 12th. I'm using Hoffmans seed starting mix and small solo cups. For heat I'm using just a regular electric heating blanket. I put 2 seeds per cup, and started 10 seeds of 8 different varieties. The varieties are:
Chocolate Fatalli
Fatalli
TS Butch T
TS "FG"
Peach Bhut
Yellow Brain Strain
7 Pot Jonah
Aji Joe's Surprse Hot mix (we'll see what pops out of here)
Here's some pics now
Day of Planting 1/12/12

Temp inside of cups
Have had 2 out of 80 pop up in 4 days!!! I thought I was seeing things
Here is a TS "FG"

That's it for now...
Okay folks, most of you know that i don't live in a very hot pepper friendly grow area. this means no outside in ground growing for peppers - i live in a zone 3a. this means my hot pepper growing is confined to indoor growing.......until this year!
yes it is nice in the summer, we really don't require air conditioning as a window fan works just fine. nights are cool and hail can strike anytime during the summer months and has been mixed with snow. after september, consider the outside growing season as over!
so without further adieu, here is my 2012 grow log, most of the chinense are 2 years old or older and this year i decided to try peppers from south america's mountainous regions as my summer climate is very similar, for some S/A...
