Chewi's 2012 Growing Season
Cleaning out the raised beds this weekend. Got the trees trimmed up a little to let a bit more light through. Good start so far. Two days and counting and these boys, along with a few others will be going in the ground. Thinking of putting one or two in a pot for kicks. If I didn't just go ahead and start this now, I wouldn't have the before and after effect. So here goes! Hoping there aren't 100 days over 100 degrees this summer! Bottom to Top: Clover (son's), three African Fish Peppers, two Sante Fe, Mucho Nacho, Mammoth, 7 Pot Brown Bonnet Shaped (from AJ)
griff87's grow log '12.
I had actually started my grow a while back but I had phone in which the camera was not working. Well I got a new one so I was able to take some photos. Better late than never.

Mini pepper forest consisting of black cobras, bhuts, choc habs, trinidad perfume, aji lemon (the "skyscrapers") heres a mix of yellow scorps, butch t, yellow/choc/white/purple bhuts. these were started later than the forest except for the aji's and cobras, which were the first to germ so they had a head start Now the overwinters (now have come back for the 2nd time after a winter war with some mice) continued from another...

MyraMains 2012 Pepper Glog
It all started in Feb. when I bought myself a birthday present of eight different types of hot pepper seeds (115 seeds total) due to the outragous cost of peppers in the market. I took a standard heating pad and a 72 compartment seeding tray two types of soil (MG Seed Starter & MG Organic Potting Soil). The seeding tray had 8 tray's of 9 cups so I did one tray of each variity of pepper and did 3 cups of each tray with the seed starter, 3 of the organic and 3 of a 50/50 Mix of both soils to test germination rates. I tested the seeding tray on the heating pad for 24 hours to accurately maintain a 85 to 87 degree soil temp and planted my seeds on the 23rd of Feb. On the 28th of Feb. or less than 6 days later my first 3 sprouts (White...

Jimmy's 2012 Grow - 7/2/12 Update... The Hail Storm & more..
Well im kind of new around here, this isnt my first time growing hot peppers, but it is my first time growing them in containers. I bought a dozen plants from cross country nursery, and they came in this past thursday. I bought 2 Red savinas, 2 Mustard Habaneros, 2 Yellow Scotch Bonnets, and one Devils Tongue. I also bought 2 Japanese Takanotsume's, 2 Kung pao Hybrids, and one Thai Red hot pepper ( not the small ornamental, these are larger) I decided to go with the global buckets design to have these somewhat portable. I have lucked out and started my graphic design career finally after graduating a year ago, and will be hopefully moving closer ( less than 30 miles ) and will want to take these with me if possible. if not, no...
It really did happen! (a mid season narrative by chile_freak)
Being a chef, I have little free time. most of what i do have I spend w/ the little lady, over attending to my peppers and other vegetables and of course here! It has been said Pics or it didnt happen, well here's proof that it did, last year was my first ever season growing, this is the second,unfortunately I had no time start a traditional seed to pod glog, but here is a shot nonetheless. these are the last 40 or so that still need to go into their final homes a pic of the chile patch out front
well for my first year of growing peppers its not starting off too good.My white habs turned out to be a c. annum possibly wrinkled old man. my black pearls turned out to be black cubans and the rest of my plants are producing blooms but no peppers. So far the only thing eating anything off my plants are the caterpillars.
Thank you so much guys! Misia Pedro's 1st grow log
I just started reading this forum last fall after a some what lackluster pepper season and got really motivated by all the info and grow logs. I started off by over wintering a few pepper plants thanks to Pepper-Guru and his guide. Anyways here is what i've managed to accomplish so far this year. I started off by using the raised beds and the square foot gardening method, soil mix is 1/3 peat, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 food waste compost. lots of companion planting, mainly nightshade family, I have like 6 different types of basils growing along with 14 varities of heirloom tomatos, 45 plants in all, over 100 pepper plants. Biker Billys are freaking insane, never grown a better plant Scorpions and ghost peppers Some of these biker billys...
Robisc 2012 Bama peppers
Hello all, I'm new here and to "extreme" pepper growing and appreciate all of the great info here, I live in North Alabama so have a some good pepper growing weather, I have grown peppers for about 15 years, just the Bonnie plant garden varieties like jalapeno, cayenne, habanero, serrano, thai and tabasco and after discovering the Bhut Jolokia or "ghost pepper" last year I want to grow them too, I am a hot sauce collector/fanatic and have always been intrigued by the hotter the better. So looking forward to jumping in a sharing what I'm doing which of course pales in comparison to everyone else here but just thought why not? I have a few plants in the garden already and am close to having some baby peppers, i planted the plants at the...

Greenhouse4green Glog "The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Experiment"
So my plan is to see what growing condition work betters than others. From different types of water. Too different types of soil. You can see in the charts what is going to grow with what soil combo and what light timing. 12/12= 12 hours on 12 hours off 24/7= lights on for the whole time the plants are growing. (day and night) (kinda bad but writting) I just planted them today june 18th. (in a baggie) But i ordered 25 3 gallon grow bags to grow them in. Under the lights in my basement. There will be 24 plants. Each one will be under a different variable. I want to see which way the plant produce the fastest, strongest looking plant, and healthiest. I hope all goes well with this. And all the plants will be Trinidad Moruga Scorpions i...
Loafers' GLOG 2012 - Learning the Hard Way
This is my first year growing peppers from seed and I've made a lot of mistakes so far. I've been gardening for a long time and have worked on farms since I was thirteen but these superhots are giving me a it of a challenge. Still, I'm loving every minute of it. In late March I started some Tabasco, Cayenne, and Thai seeds in a jiffy Greenhouse. Not knowing that they need heat to germinate very few did. These are the survivors. The ones on the left just sprouted yesterday. I've checked the soil and none of the seeds have rotted, some are still in the process of germinating now that it's getting hotter. Call me an optimist but I think there'll be more where these came from. Here is my tray of relatively hot/superhots. The labels are...
My First Tray
Here is my first tray. Its basically planted out now. I will be updating today. I overwintered 30 peppers,yeah my wife thinks I'm crazy. This tray has Fish Pepper(Peppergal),Cheiro Recife( Peppermania),Shisito(Baker Creek),Broome (Peppermania),Garden Bird Seed (Baker Creek),Zimbabwe Bird Op from 2011,Hawaiian Sweet Hot (Peppermania),Vietnamese Multicolor (Baker Creek),Bulgarian Carrot Pepper (Peppergal),SerranoTampiqueno (Botanical Interest),Spanish Padron (Renees' Garden)Aji Crystal (Peppermania)
Peppers and Toms - Round 2
Hi guys and gals! For fun's sake, posterity, and for something to do this lazy Friday afternoon (I'm self-employed and nothing on the agenda today), I decided to chronicle this years gardening adventures. This is the second year I've lived in sunny Covina, CA, and although last years gardening hit several snags, I think I've learned a bit and hope to do better. I also enjoyed my habaneros so much that I decided to jump into the world of super hots! So far I'm growing: 1. Last years standard orange habanero from Home Depot - recently re-potted and heavily pruned due to damage from a freak hail storm 2. Two Trinidad Scorpion Peppers (recently purchased from the Cal State Fullerton Aboreum) The first one is healthier. It had good...
Emrikol's 2012 Grow Log
This is my first time glogging, so please be kind and patient with me. I've been gardening for probably five years now, but only got into the good stuff last year when I started half a dozen Bhut Jolokia plants. Let's see how much I can mess up this year! Even though I'm running later than I would like, I officially started my 2012 season last night by settings some seeds out to germinate. I'm trying something a bit different, based off of pepperjam's Cups vs Bags experiment. I took the pellet tray out of a jiffy starter kit and am using it as one large "cup." In my best handwriting, as you can see, I wrote a small description and drew a box for each cultivar I was starting in the tray. My idea is to wet everything, throw it on...
PJ's 2012 Glog with a Kaleidoscope of Colored Peppers
This is my second season growing superhots. I decided to branch out and grow some tasty peppers that others will enjoy. I've been collecting and buying seeds busily! So i decided to start my seeds early-mid january since last frost date last year was in early april. Here is my list. Some i bought, some i got for free from the amazing THP members! Thanks again all, I'll be germinating my seeds in cups. I had great success last year using this method. Once they sprout, i'll move them to my 72 plug seed tray. I'm using gardener's supply germinating mix. It has very fine peat, vermiculite, and trace minerals and is pH balanced. Once they get their true leaves, i'll move them to 3.5x5 inch pots (P86D) and 1 pint root pouches (just to...
MRZ 2012 Season
Hey everybody! I promised myself that I wouldn't jump the gun and start updating until I had my first cotyledons showing. Today that happened, as my first 7 pot Primo finally coaxed its way out of its seed plug and unfolded its cotyledons to my light. There's still a bunch of growth happening in there so I should have a lot more babies coming in the next 3 or 4 days. It's January still and that means I'm sprouting round one of my seeds. That means I'm doing four each of all thirteen super hot varieties I have. Everything else will come later, although I think I will plant my Manzano seeds today to make sure that I give them a good jump start. I hear they are pesky. THE 2012 GROW LIST! There should be at least 30 of these that I...
Bumface's First Grow & Glog
Hi all, I mainly signed up to this site for growing advice and assistance, but obviously was pleasantly surprised to see so many cooking and sauce recipes :) So, here I go... This is not strictly my first glog, as I own a pair of traditional dutch shoes crafted out of a single piece of wood. I hope that counts. I got two (non-specific) green chili plants off a friend around mid summer 2011, and didn't buy any chillies for the rest of the year. I tried to over-winter them both, but one died. Here is the one I call, 'The Veteran': I like to tie him down to see if he'll produce more chillies and become more lateral and bushy instead of growing up: This guy inspired me. So on the 6th January,I started off with some seeds a friend...
Spankyscolts 2012 GLOG
Well here it is against my better judgement my first ever grow log. I have no green thumb genius, no botany brilliance, and am doing this solely for your amusement. This is not a treatise on pepper perfection but rather, in all likelyhood a pretty detailed journal of what not to do. There will be mishaps, things that defy good sense, and sadly even deaths. In the end however irregardless of your pepper growing skill level, if you check in on my glog from time to time you will undoubtedly go away with a much higher view of your own growing ability. So with the proper expectations set let's get started just remember under no circumstances should you try anything you see here at home. First off our selection started off with all the super...
Frosty's Glog 2012
Well I decided to do a glog half way through. At first I didn't think anyone could learn anything. I guess there is value in what not to do. I start seeds poking holes into styrofoam cups. I stuff promix into the cups and soak the promix then one layer of vermiculite spray with hydrogen peroxide place the seed on the vermiculite add a layer of vermiculite and spray again. I cover the top with ziploc snack bags and place on heating pads. I check periodically and spray with water or peroxide. I use this method because it is simple and requires very little maintenance. Once they sprout they go under grow lights. I do a mix of LED and CFL. I over winter most plants. Currently the over winters are in the ground or buckets and are: Cherry...
This year i am growing to sell pods and to learn to grow effective. I live on a farm in sweden.

Hi Everybody!!! Here's a record of my first grow ever. I just started having an interest in horticulture when my girlfriend couldn't get donne sali (a hot pepper from the Marianas Islands) here stateside. So I've decided to grow them for her as well as some others. THE PEPPER LIST: Giant Bhut Jolokias, Peter Peppers, Mulato Isleno, Hot Cow Horn Peppers, and Donne Sali.

No venitlation set up as of today, I just have a tower fan to circulate the hot air and I open a door to an outside room to bring in fresh air. Humidity is around 40%, I'm...

Sosl0w Glog.
Hey all, frequent this site a lot for info but never posted. First year growing and figured I would start a log. Right now I have 2 reg hab plants and a Bhut that I was growing in soil over the winter. I've decided to step up my game and go full hydroponics. Seeds were started about 3 weeks ago with about half of them germinated. Here are some pics of the setup. Old Lighting:: California Light Works Solarstorm LED lighting. Not enough coverage with this light so I switched it up in favor of the new lighting. New Lighting: 4 Solar Flare Full Cycle LED systems from California Light Works. Hydroponics setup: This is my first attempt at hydroponics and i'm still learning the ins and outs. After doing a bunch of initial research this...
