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.

I actually made one order and couldn't suppress the itch to order more, so I placed a...
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...

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...
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...

This is my Fist Glog.
This is my first attempt at growing super hot peppers The Bhut Jolokia is my first super hot pepper grow here are a few pics of my first bhut's.
There are 4 plants and i think they are doing very well, they have some evil looking peppers on them already.
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...
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.

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.....

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...

This was my first year trying to grow anything. These were started indoors around early Feb in jiffy pellets with a heat mat, then transferred to plastic cups under a normal fluorescent shop light. The plants grew a bit leggy(some more than others) and some of them outgrew their shelf space two months before the last frost(Mid May...

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...

Last of my peppers and tomatoes... Its gonna be a fun summer
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!
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:

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...
Hi Guys,
moved in my house un july 2011, so in 2012 That will be my first Big garden of pepper and 1st try at Superhots!
Here's some pics of my actual setup (cleanup to do) and some pic of my germination seeds.
Listing to come but you can read what is in the Germ Chamber :) )
about 4 of each seeds per "jiffy"
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...
Hey guys,

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.

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...
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...
Hello guys,
I thought I will show some pictures even if nothing there is really impressive, it's just a start for us, it's been going on since one or 2 month and... I think we did a little too much chillies...

- Cayenne
- Thaï chillis
- Chiltepin
- Bhut Jolokia
- Fatalii
- Numex Suave Orange
- Maules Red Hot
- Poinsettia
- Uba Tuba
I do also grow couple of "non-chillies" stuff, but I do not know if that really feets in the grow log.
Here are some in the big green house (don't mind the corn down there, it's not in our allotment, and there is some tomatoes too)
Some more here (and some Crystal lemon cucumbers down there)
And due to a lack of pots, here are some more (well with some...
Greetings Everyone,
This here gloging will more or less be a collection of images of my greenery and green tech, little bit different than a chronological grow log, but certainly along the same lines!
Ill start with this
Picked up 8 of these guys today, letting them have free reign of the greenhouse. Never been a huge fan of the green anole, until I realized they would be the perfect addition to the latter!
So far, they favor the mack daddy pitcher plant hangin from the ceiling, there is a few pepper lovers though :)

Hi everyone,
last year I tried to grow some of my favourite chillies in a mix of coconut coir and perlite, tried to compare the results, learn from mistakes and do some experiments. Overall I'd call it quite successful and more clean than usual soil growing, and mostly with very early harvest that actually started in June and continued in ~2 week cycles until end of October.
This was the main reason for me to almost completely abandon the standard growing in soil, and fully focus on hydroponics, using coconut+perlite mix, drip irrigation and indoor growing for first 3 months continued in greenhouse (for the top plants) and/or open sky terrace once temperatures allow that for the rest.
I plan to share with you the progress of my...

Hi guys,
finally I'm here to start my 2012 Glog. :halo:
You can find my list here
http://www.thehotpep...post__p__574100
First of all, I would like to share with you some pict of my "hardware" installation.
This is my double-floor Lightbox
last floor with 55Wx2 bulbs, 6500K
upper floor using a LED Panel 120W.
Hereunder my Germbox
Each plastic box contains small polyester balls filled with water to keep an high level of moisture.
With the sand I filled every small case (the bed of my seeds) and created a regular grid with toothpickes.
each slot will contain a different number of seeds to germinate.
Seeds have been pre-soaked in a NaCl solution (20% per litre) for 3 days.
Operations started the end of January and...
..this is my...
After disappearing for the last 6 months I have finally got time now to start growing some chile. I did not have the time to start any plants from seed this year but I did get a nice selection from Cross Country Nurseries, The Chile Pepper Institute, and my local Nursery (OK OK I also bought a few from Lowes). Here they are relaxing under the eaves on their way to being hardened. This is the fist year I had no issues with it. I think the main difference is the lack of wind. It has been a nice warm spring with only 4 or 5 really windy days.
I just finished getting all my plants in the ground yesterday. Here are a few shots...
Here is the overall shot
The area of the beds on the right with no straw have too much shade to plant...
