This is my 1st year growing chiles. Since I didn't know what I was getting into, I decided to start slow: I'm growing 2 Jalapenos, 5 Cayennes (2 Varieties), 1 Corbacci, 2 Cherry, 1 Seven Pot Yellow, and 1 Chocolate Habanero Long. I've got to tell you that I'm officially hooked - next year's garden will be much bigger. Thanks to Buddy for getting me started and helping me along the way. A few pictures: My 1st Yellow 7 Pot: Jalapenos (making salsa tonight): Cayennes: More Cayennes: Corbacci: Chocolate Habanero - Long Cherry: It's a start!

Hey guys, I thought I would start my first mini glog off. This is a grow log for my office purple ghost chilli. I have a large-ish setup at home (CFL and greenhouse), but I thought I would start a little chilli at work under a CFL desk lamp. I've had the chilli there for a week or so now after sowing it on 18th June 2012. I sow the seeds in a 30mm jiffy on a heated mat untill 2 true sets of leaves and then potted the jiffy into a clear tumbler with a mixture of Vermiculite, permite and potting mix (with a hint of lime). First day at work. (13/8/2012) First week Friday (17/8/2012) Took the plant home over the weekend and left him under the CFL and brought him back to work on monday (20/8/2012)

Grow Log 2012 Scince a few years I only grow Capsicum pubescens. This year I have got many plants over the winter an for that I wanted to cut back with growing new plants but that did not worl out so well. So here's my Story.... I tried to get 252 pubescens plants over the winter and in January it was not looking so good with them so I looked into my seed box and picked out a few pubescens Seeds to Sow The first were sowed on the 22nd of Jan. I use an old Medical Fridge that also can be heated After only 6 Days the first sprouts appeared At that time the Capsicum pubescens that I was trying to get over the winter looked like this So not so bad And the new plants also had a good start But then in Febuary we got hit by...

rigmedic40 · Aug 9, 2012

pulled some jalapenos and banana peppers this morning to cut up and freeze and hopefully get some more growth outta the plants before the season ends. the basket is setting under some nice looking bell peppers. I have some habeneros going in another bed but they haven't turn color yet. thanks for all the encouragement from you guys. I got plans for next year that will send my wife over the edge, so in true husband fashion, I will do the planting while she is at work and then beg forgiveness later!!! :liar:

What's happening everybody. My name is Big Jim and this is my first year attempting to grow a variety of assorted hot peppers. I am very excited to learn from everyone here and through my experiences. I wanted to document my Fabulous Pepper Adventures for everyone as well as myself for educational (and comical) purposes.

Sauce_Man_E · Jul 16, 2012

I started my grow season late and unorganized with mixed up Amazon seeds. I have no way of knowing which plants will be what with the exception of the red hab seeds I planted from a store bought hab. Of course this may not even grow true. So this is my mystery garden. My first bud from the store bought hab. My garden ninjas are everywhere. Thanks to the ninjas I haven't seen any notable insect damage. After realizing I wouldn't be able to know what each plant would be till it podded up I got some seeds from PepperLover.com. From right to left in paired columns: Choc Bhut 7 Pot Brain Wild Tepin CGN 22795 Tabasco Red Hab

I have an email in to them and I hope to get those seeds ASAP) I actually made one order and couldn't suppress the itch to order more, so I placed a...

Johnaton · May 1, 2012

Hi there, I'm a newcomer to the scene from Belgium, we're not a country where eating spicy let alone growing your own peppers is "hot" (pun intended). Supermarkets in Belgium rarely sell anything but the classic (genetically modified) Cayenne, I've only found some Bird's Eye twice and to my surprise once found a temporary supply of Red Habanero's. I got bit by the pepper virus about two years ago and it's only a good year ago that I came to the conclusion that I should start growing my own peppers. So last year I ended up growing a couple of Red Cayenne plants, they were grown from seed and started somewhere around may wich was quite late but still early enough for them to give me a good harvest come the end of summer. Growing and...

spicy_ghost_805 · Dec 25, 2011

First of all, I want to thank everyone from this forum for helping a newbie. After dozens and dozens of hours of intensive research of how to germinate and grow ghost peppers It finally paid off !! My set up is hydrofarm heat mat, hydrofarm temperature control for heat mat, Tray and dome, E.B. Stone seed starter mix, hydrofarm 2ft 2 tube T5 grow light. Process....I sowed the seeds on 12/4/11....................... Before I sowed the seeds I soaked them in warm distilled water for 24 hrs. Then I filled my tray with E.B stone seed starter mix and sowed the seeds 1/4' deep. I lightly watered them and set temperature control to 85* F and covered the tray with clear dome. I watered every two or three days depending on the surface of...

Scarlet Fire · May 29, 2012

Hello all. Back in the fall of 2011, I came across a steal on Craigslist for a 400w HPS light and ballast, and ordered up some pepper seeds. That was when I lived in NC and my grow space was confined to my small apartment's walk-in closet. The plants and I have since moved to GA and I now have 8 pepper plants growing in 5-gallon buckets outdoors. All fully organic, and grown in 100% soilless media (peat moss, pine bark, perlite, vermiculite, and coir). I've taken photos regularly along the way, so I'll try to bring you up to date without getting too caught up discussing the old indoor setup. I sowed some Purple Beauty bell pepper seeds, as well as some Giant Bhut Jolokia's, during the first week of October 2011. They were started in a...

yemtol · Apr 21, 2012

I'm a new gardener starting with a challenge. I received 34 seeds from a pepper plant that was brought over from Vietnam a few years ago. A client from work gave them to me after a discussion about gardening a few weeks ago. His wife brought them with her when she moved to the states. He has described the pods as looking a little like a cayenne you would get from a plant you bought at Walmart but shorter, broader, and a whole lot hotter. After reading a while on this site, It became clear he may not know much more about them then I do. Will they they be Vietnamese Tearjerkers or something more common? I don't know. It's a mystery. I know I got a very late start, but i have high hopes for overwintering.On 4/18/12 I planted 24...

punn177 · Apr 11, 2012

I guess I can start a GLOG on here since its easier to update! I'll start from the begining and work my way forward. I think I'm doing "Okay" for being a newbie at this. Much help from the people on here has got me past some "hiccups"! Thanks every, enjoy, and as always SUGGESTIONS!! I started from seed on 2/25/2012 The begining when things were leggy and looked in trouble! The lighting system and my adjustments to the light heighth I didn't take pics of my first pot up. Basically Just moved everything into solo cups! And from that point on they did well, for the most part. Have some that stunted, some that died, some that burned, but mostly all good! So my second pot-up happened 3 weeks ago. And then today, 3 weeks after the...

Me and the wife got into the game a little late, but seeing as how we are in Florida, the plants will get lamp light the 2 weeks (lol) it gets cold. We have a few young plants that are starting to produce, and a bunch of seeds (THANK YOU SO MUCH to Durham Bull) we are trying to germinate. The down side about where we are is the ground is sand. Not a sand/soil mix, just straight sand. Most of our plants are currently in 3-5 gallon buckets and doing well! Firstly, our container plants..... Jalapenos! Basil....we have a ton drying currently. Cabbage Bell peppers Cayenne and Habaneros Continued.... Thai Sun Orange Trinidad Scorpion....one lonely pod. Has been kinda tough getting this little guy to produce. This is our...

S.S.Tupperware · Jan 2, 2012

Hi all... Here is my grow log for the 2012 season... I will try and post pics as often as I can. To start with I needed some source of heat to try and germinate my seeds with better results than last year, that said i figured i would put one of my old water bed heaters to good use. Took some leftover wood and stuff from some jobs i had done, and made a heated bed to start seeds on. I framed a 24x42 box, added plywood for a bottom, laid a piece of 3/4 in. radiant barrier foam on the bottom, followed by a piece of cement backer board on top of that. Then I secured the thermostat from the heater, laid in the heater and the temp probe... Then I proceeded to put in 2 bags of sand for a thermal mass to help regulate how often the heater...

geeme · Jul 21, 2012

Found the first rocoto blossom this morning - whooooot! I overwintered ten plants. They were doing absolutely GREAT until this spring. Came out of my bedroom one morning to find a plant dead. I am telling you, the plant looked FINE the day before. In fact, it had already started flowering and even putting out pods. But no, dead. Then another got hit - two down. These were both annums, so I don't know if that made a difference or not, though I can see that size may have been a factor. At any rate, several of the other plants got hit, as well. Only two of the ten didn't show signs of any problems. Lost one douglah, too. However, the other plants that got hit ended up pulling through. Individual branches would suddenly die, but the main...

El Jardinero · Dec 12, 2011

My first ever grow log. Not new to growing .. just new to growing super hots ... and my mouth gets watery! Want to start early and get good sized plants ready for spring. If they are a good size, I'll probably sell the extra plants at local farmers market. Will start indoors in grow tents with 600 watt lights. Roughly 170 peppers to start. Might germinate another 100 at the beginning of the year. Any input or feedback will and is greatly appreciated. A big thank you to capsidadburn, Hendrix1326 and chad s for their generosity!

mjdiamond83 · Jan 14, 2012

I'm trying to get a head start on the upcoming season. This is my first year growing superhots, so I'm hoping the early start will help me get some pods, despite having a pretty short season. I started one plant each of Trinidad Scorpion Yellow (first pic) and Trinidad Scorpion Red (right side of 2nd pic) at the end of October and aside from a minor (luckily) aphid attack on my TS Yellow, they're doing fairly well. I think I need to hit them with a little calmag soon though. I planted a bunch of Chinense seeds on 1/10 and 1/11: 7 Pot Jonah (3) 7 Pot Red (4) Yellow 7 Pot (2) Yellow Trinidad Scorpion (2) Trinidad Scorpion Morouga (3) Madballz (3) Bhut x Douglah (3) Goronong (2) Bhut Jolokia (3) Chocolate Bhut Jolokia (3) Dorset...

Dulac · Feb 14, 2012

Up until now I have only sowed seeds outside. I never babied the seeds--they went straight into the ground. This year I decided to get a head start and grow indoors. I have been growing using sunlight and just recently amended the sunlight with a cheap light. The sunlight isn't really long enough for good growth it seems. So far the cheap light has done well. I had a Thai dragon pepper that was a pale green and it has become more green and healthy looking. Early on it lost two leaves . It was either from lack of light, overwatering, or overfertilizing. I replanted it and it did not drop any more leaves but remained a pale green until I amended the sunlight with the new cheap light. The sun can heat up the room to 88 max so far. During...

branj70 · Apr 22, 2012

My first time growing peppers was last spring. I bought two young plants that were labeled 'Trinidad Scorpion' from a local reputable nursery. It turned out that they were actually Caribean Reds. Still hot as shit, but not what I expected. So this year I wanted to do it right and start from scratch. This time, I got (from left to right) Yellow Bhuts Caloros Anaheims Cowhorns some random Indian Chili variety all from PepperJoe. So far in 2 weeks, they have all sprouted except for the Bhuts which have no activity (I'm heard they take a long time?). Excuse the blurry pics, my camera is messed up. So thats where the magic will happen. I'm planning on only having about 5 of each, and possibly just keeping the Bhuts indoors or in pots...

Okay, I'm going to *actually* try and update things this year. My first flats will start tomorrow (chinenses and a few other long-seasons), and the rest, minus a few herbs/tomatoes, will go in later this week or early next. I'm going to try and be better about keeping records this year, too. We'll see how it goes with my limited time, but I'm hopeful. So...without further blab, here's a tease of a few batches of seeds soaking in a seaweed/superthrive solution over night.

TheFanMan · Jan 7, 2012

here we go my first grow log. im a bit late starting this so this first post will cover the last couple of months. I was a bit unorganised this year and didn't get my seeds germinating as early as i should have. So to give me some other pepper types and something to do while i waited for my seeds i bought a few seedlings from the local nursery. IIRC they were from left to right Red Hot Cayane, Caysan, 3 Orange Habs, Yellow Sweet, Hungarian Hot Wax and the 2 little pots are Orange Habs Now heres my Jiffy pucks just after the first few popped. Now i thought the peppers in the first pic in front of the shed wall had quite a good spot, they disagreed, aparently they thought it was too hot there, so i made them their own garden...

rabid48 · Feb 21, 2012

Hello all! I'm new around these parts, but I've been lurking around the forums ever since I figured out how to eradicate the aphids from my overwintered plants by reading Pepperguru's guide in the main growing section. I've been hooked ever since. This will be my log for 2012, but I'm playing a little bit of catch up because every time I come here I wind up salivating over someone else's photos rather than posting my own. I started back on February 1st, so hopefully this will get me back on track. Last year I had a pretty basic season, with just a few small jalapenos, sweet cayennes, Hungarian waxes, California Wonders, and one lonely chocolate habanero that I bought as a plant at a greenie festival up in Rochester. I grew them all...
