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... Right now I am growing: - Habaneros - 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 :) Alex

darkb16a1 · Mar 16, 2012

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...

Beaglestorm · Apr 26, 2012

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...

Chewi · Mar 29, 2012

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)

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. Everything is still indoors since it's still a bit to cold to put them outside. Lets start with the new plants for this year. 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...

Myra Mains · May 21, 2012

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...

JimmyNX · May 6, 2012

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...

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

teamcole · Jun 30, 2012

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.

Misia Pedro · Jun 25, 2012

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...

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 · Jun 18, 2012

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 · May 1, 2012

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...

Brian2112 · Jun 23, 2012

Well my Spikey Scorpion Plants are now producing peppers, so here I will keep an update on the plants and pods as they grow to see if we come up with the same spikiness or weird variation as the parent.... :party: Update 6/23/12 Spikey Babies!

MAFWIZ · Mar 23, 2012

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 · Mar 8, 2012

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...

PepperJam · Jan 11, 2012

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...

mrz1988 · Jan 20, 2012

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 · Feb 22, 2012

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 · Feb 19, 2012

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...
