Hello, everyone! First of all I'm from Russia and I'm here,on this forum, cause we don't have such great forum. Now I'm growing some cayennes, unknown chili from Vietnam and local variety called "Ogonek" or "Little Fire" along with parsley. Also waiting for lots of other seeds to come =) Here are some pics(all was sown at the end of April): All plants together with my main helper =) Little temporary light box( 5.050 lm) for foggy days Unknow chili from Vietnam Some leaves on cayennes are covering with tiny black dots, seems like bacteria or so, and one small new leaf just dried out comletely. The question is worry or not? Pic of city at night just for show you where I live. =) And I'm glad to hear your comments.

First sprout was a Bhut on 12-14-2011. Thanks to all that helped me along the way! I am starting to feed them 1 tsp of fert per gallon of water. I have a 2 ft T5 6500K that emits 8,000 lumens, on its way to me. and I am ordering a 4 ft mylar grow tent :) Here's some pics from germination until now. I will update with more pi9cs as time goes on.

LunchBox · Nov 16, 2011

Hi...I'm new to growing, and having a problem germinating seeds. I've used the damp paper towel in a ziplok before, and it usually works. Over the summer, I seeded about 3/4 pound of t-scorps, and have tried to test-germinate 10 or so seeds, 3 times now. They go from a firm, straw colored seed, to a yellowish brown, and start looking slimey after a few days. I'm not sure if I harvested the seeds wrong, but have done this a few times before with jalapenos, and scotch bonnets, (and a few others) and they germinated just fine. Any ideas what I may be dong wrong, or suggestions? I have a few hundred seeds, but I don't want to waste them all trying to geminate them unsuccessfully. Thanks

thegreenman · Jul 14, 2012

I figured I could start one of these now that I have two different plants growing. Some of last year's Cayenne seeds from a foaf who sells in a farmer's market. I started these back in June. The dried pods from last year Seedlings to be divided Newly divided seedlings Back in March I planted a packet of Minorcan Datil seeds. I ended up with two plants which made it to maturity. One is a Datil, and one is either a hybrid, mutant, or another seed entirely. The flower in singles, never doubles, so they aren't chinense, maybe annuum, or frutescens? Who knows...they grow well, pretty prolifically, taste good, look good, and aren't too hot for "normal" people to enjoy. So I'm growing the heck out of them. They are thick...

ChilliNZ · Oct 20, 2012

Hi. Okay, maybe not that close. I'm using good quality potting mix from the plant shop for everything. I first started off using two hot water cupboards - I don't know if you have them in the US but it is just a hot water cylinder for your house and makes the cupboard within which they reside warm-ish - depending on how old they. What you want is basic and/or old and then, they aren't as efficient. I first started off a few Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Yellow, a few Fatalis and a couple of Rocotos in a plastic container at my girlfriend's beach house - that was nice and warm but we could only stay a week. The chillis didn't quite pop and they ended up going into the second hot water cupboard at my grandmother's house. It simply wasn't as...

liquidjo · May 22, 2012

Hi! This will be my gf's and I first attempt at growing our own hot peppers. So im hoping all goes well, and we'll be able to give our families some quality spicy peppers. We started growing around mid-April(April 16 or 17). Started off with buying seeds from Hell Hot Products(ebay), a germination station, Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix, Miracle Gro Bloom Booster, distilled water. On the germination tray, i sowed them per row: 1st row: Naga Morich 2nd: Datil 3rd: Yellow Scotch Bonnet 4th: Butch T 5th: Jamaican Chocolate Habanero and the 6th row was a mixed bag of the leftover seeds. And basically followed these instructions to germinate the seeds: http://www.ecoseeds.com/Pepper.growing.tips.html. After the first 7 days I...

jsschrstrcks · Feb 29, 2012

This is late in coming, and I don't have pictures for everything... So bear with me. Iive in zone 9b, and we had quite a mild winter, so I started germinating seeds indoors in october. I have a desk with a hutch and a built in Flourescent light... I also have a surround sound system with rather tall speakers that leave about 5 inches between the light in the hutch and my jiffy green house. I started 10 Orange Habs, 10 Long Thin Cayenne, 10 Thai Sun, and 10 Big Early Jalapenos, the seed was not isolated and was collected off my plants from last year. The cayenne was a sad plant, and only produced 3 or 4 pods all summer... The Habanero beside it produced enough to make gallons of puree'd Habs that I love to eat by the spoon full. The...

Sethsquatch · Feb 29, 2012

Ok. I'm in the ring. This is really my first year growing from seed and may as well be my first year ever. Last year we had a bag garden (which was pretty weak), and Justaguy contributed a couple of bucket plants later in the season (awesome). So, just to get this out in the open early, I'm a little OCD. DANGER PLANTS! DANGER! FLEE FROM THE FURRY ONE! My natural tendency is to, well, let's just call it over-love my plants. "You like fertilizer? Well you'll love it straight from the bottle!" One of my bigger hurdles is to just let the plants do their thing. I mean, I have grown up in a culture of drive-thru instant gratification, which doesn't exactly breed patience… But I'm working on it. Trying to tread gently through the grow...

LexaRae · Aug 19, 2012

So this year I am growing White Habanero, Black Jalapeño, Sweet Crimson, Cayenne, Cayenne Blend, Green Bell Pepper, Chocolate Bell Pepper, Serrano, and Santa Fe Grande's. I have lived in Louisiana for about a year (for the Army) and because of the hot and humid climate I decided it would be a good time to start a garden (there is not much to do in our area). Naturally because of the ridiculous hot temp here, my peppers have done better than anything else. That was the beginning of my pepper plant obsession haha... So anyway not to long ago I purchased some seeds to add to my variety of peppers and decided to go ahead and germinate a few from each pack since the first frost where I live usually on average is Nov. 26, I'm hoping...

stickman · Feb 15, 2012

Well, here we go... Started about 35 Korean Gochu Peppers and a few Korean salad peppers, jalapenos and orange habs. All are mostly up today but the habs. I started them early last week in my heated grow tent down in my cellar on top of a grow mat, but didn't have the thermostat quite dialed in. When I left it it was 70 degrees f. in the tent. When I checked again the next morning it was 85 degrees, and I was afraid I'd cooked the seeds, so I moved them onto my kitchen windowsill on the grow mat and awaited developments. Looking much better now. I'll give the Habs until the weekend to pop, then move the flat down to the grow tent.

Spicegeist · Feb 7, 2012

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:

HabaneroHead · May 6, 2012

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...

DocNrock · Jul 5, 2012

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...

mikeinsc · Apr 26, 2012

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.

mido · May 5, 2012

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...

Mitch_from_OZ · Oct 12, 2012

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...

Joshuap2000 · Jan 28, 2012

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.

batterhammer · Sep 12, 2012

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...

Tigeris · Sep 25, 2012

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. :)

Emeoba69 · Jun 4, 2012

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...

Hendrix1326 · Feb 13, 2012

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...

AndrejX · Sep 13, 2012

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...

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.
