Here is a list of what I am growing.
Sprouts:
1 Moruga
3 Fatalii
2 Brain Strain
1 White Hab
1 Butch T
Seeds just started:
2 Choc. Bhut (Muskymojo)
3 Douglah (Muskymojo)
1 Moruga
3 7 Pot Yellow(Muskymojo)
1 Thai Hot
2 7 Pot Barrackpore (Muskymojo)
2 T.S. Yellow (Muskymojo)
1 Hungarian Black Pepper
Will post pics of these after they sprout!
Here is another pic of the 2 plants i have with true leaves.
I normally start in late January, but was given some seeds in fall and didn't want to wait. Started these in late October in a south facing window...hope to harden them off and get them outside by the end of March. I'll start germinating everything else in a week or so...
Chocolate Habanero
Aribibi Gusano
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T
I tend to lurk the Glog section, and decided that I like looking at pictures. So I'm putting up some of my own pictures (why not?) even if they are not very impressive. Anyways, here's the list
scorpion moruga
sunrise scorpion
7 pot barrackpore
red scotch bonnet
cayenne
jalapeno
Ill add more pictures soon. I'm moving over the next month (out of an apartment) and to a place with a backyard, so I'll have lots more space than I originally anticipated. Probably going to start some more soon, and will definitely be overwintering (live in Canada).
some scotch bonnets
cayennes
I only used peat pots because I had them around, and haven't really had problems with them before.
Greetings all.
So I have received seeds from several THP members to date.
And I didn't have pictures posted of some of your seeds sprouting, or a glog on THP, so I figured I would make one-and supply some.
Also posted are some of my own plant photos.
Enjoy!

Some Spongey Seeds
Some Dr. Cres Seeds
Some Melium Seeds
7 Pod
White Habanero
Possibly a Yellow 7 Pod... need to let it grow a bit more.
First Pepper "Harvest" of the season!
Pre-harvest Cayenne
Early Pre-storm photo of Trinidad Scorpion (plant is regrowing)
Frog Pepper... wait, what?
Planted today:
Primo - 2 x 2seeds per Jiffy - Junglerain
Brainstrain - 2 x 2seeds per Jiffy - Junglerain
Yellow 7 Pot - planted 2 seeds per Jiffy about a week ago - HPSC
Douglah - replanted from seedling mix into Jiffy's about a week ago - HPSC
Put all Jiffy's in seed propagator. Made the Jiffy's extra wet to help with germination.
See what happens...
Decided to move this topic to GLOGS. Wanted to update our progress so far

So finally after a two year rest of growing to restore our new house i was able to build a Green house and set back up my hydroponic systems. And i am now a Chile Head. My friends at the Hydroponics Store got me hooked up with Some Ghost and Trinidad Scorpions seeds that they had from there harvest in the shop.. I have about 50 Seedlings started, i even have a Trinidad growing on my desk at work i would post a picture of that but they frown on taking pictures there. So as i figure the forums system out ill post some pics.
Just been here a few days but have already picked up lots of great info on peppers.
Hi all,
This is my first pepper grow ever. I started growing herbs at the beginning of this year, and I stumbled upon this wonderful site. I'm only growing a few varieties this year, so I hope everything comes out well.
Fatali - 1
Scotch Bonnet - 2
Caribbean Red - 2
Red Mushroom - 2
Serrano - 2
Habanero - 2
Jalapeño - 2
NuMex Big Jim - 2
I germinated my seeds in late March, so I'm a little behind in the season, but the plants seem to be doing well and since I live in Las Vegas maybe I can get at least one extra month of warm weather.

Soil, Akamada, few stones, moss and voilaaa. :) After cutting roots chili was in a shock and lost half of leaves but now is ok. New small leaves are growing. 3 fruits are red...
Well, sometimes life gets in the way... Got child #2 on the way here (due in 2 weeks) so with all the crazyness of getting ready for that all of my best laid plans during the fall were out the door by christmas.
Anyhow, I managed to get a cheapie hydrofarm germination plastic bin and lid set up ordered on amazon a week an a half ago, picked a few seeds from the collection I got from the generous members on this board and spring into action as soon as my stuff arrived.
Goat Weed
Heritage Big Jim
Brain Strain
Butch T
were the lucky contestants that made the cut for my first try at growing from seeds (have several years of chile gardening from the seedling stage on under my belt already though).
The story so far:

Hello!
So.. i'm 25 year old guy from Finland and i love chilis very much!! I have been growing now for 3 years. It's still snow on the ground here and pretty cold, so my plants are still indoors. On sunny days i have took few plants to outside for a while. Here's my list and some photos for this season:
Black Pearl
Black Pearl/Chinense (It was Black Pearl seed i planted but the flowers are from Chinense chili.. interesting mix)
Brown Large Habanero

About half my peppers today
Other half of my peppers
And finally I just finished my Led panel...
Here is the start my year of growing peppers. I have started all my chinense varieties and probably won't add any more to the mix as I will have to start some other varieties of not too hot peppers and don't want to run out lights or buy more. Not much in the way of photos right now, just one of a few of the babies.
Strains of Chinense I have started.
-Tobago Scotch Bonnet
-Cherio do Norte
-Cherio Gioas
-Jamaican Chocolate Habanero

This is my first try at peppers. Since I work offshore my wife takes care of them while I am gone. So most of the credit goes to her. These are a few of my first batch: There are T Scorps, Bonda Ma jaques, Serrano, White Hab's, Orange Hab's, Chocolate, Orange and Yellow Bhutts, Scotch Bonnet Reds, Hawaiian Sweet, Black Pearl, and Red Fatalli and Rooster Spur. More pics later, and all the seeds came from THP and larger plants from Don Lava.. Thanks to all!

http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p533/usercodenamereddwarf/IMG_0672.jpg Okay this one was the first tray of the season.
Planted 18 of each today in Jiffy pellets - 1 per pellet.
Soaked seeds in warm water first for 5-10mins (while Jiffy's hydrated). About 4 of the Yellow seeds sunk - the rest floated (for what it's worth).
Seeds provided by Jungle Rain (thanks Grant for the freebies as well).
Going to leave under the carport - out of direct sunlight - for the time being. Temp today is 37.
Let's see what happens...
Grow log of my greenhouse and garden. I hope people dont mind but not all will be peppers. but dont worry most will be:P
i mainly have 7 pot varieties this year. But a bunch of other plants. If anyone wants to know any specifics on some of the non pepper plants just ask:)
Will be updating regularly
Greenhouse. Got it for christmas. Really nice, 10 x 20.
Set up a small potting table in the corner since not allowed to use the sun room anymore
Needed two 1500watt? heaters to keep it above 60 throughout the winter. I think this winter im just going to fill it with greens
Maybe a few tropicals right next to the heater
Some pepper plants i tried to overwinter from late season last year. Did fine but i think i should of taken all...

This is Grow Log #2.
This time I thought I would try the Jiffy's as a seed growing medium.
I bought 20 x TSBT and 20 x Y7P from the hippy seed co (always good service - like all the seed people I have dealt with).
Step 1 - go and buy Jiffy's. This is where I made my first blue. See if you can spot where...
Step 2 - I thought I would give the flotation test a try as it worked nicely for me with some Habanero seeds that I took from a fresh pod last year. According to the theory (as I understand it) if the seed sinks, then it has a high probability of germination. If it floats - not so high. So, I put them all in a glass of water (TSBT in one glass and the Y7P in a separate glass) and swooshed them around with my finger and waited...
ok everyone first I want to say it's nice to be back.so lets get started.
starting from left to right are 2 rows of douglah's,2 rows of red scorps,2 rows of yellow scorps,2 rows of bhut's and the rest are various other superhots.so how do they look so far?ignore the jiffy pellets im just going to let them die lol i have enough already.
I took some photos tonight.
I have about 400 peppers and a 1/2 tray of superhots. I am growing about 200 myself for my CSA business and market and the rest will be sold or given away. I like to keep some extras because I usually lose like a dozen to cutworms or whatever.
I will be trying to keep a hooped row cover on them for most of the summer until they start to all ripen. I am also hoping to be able to save seeds from some.
Hey guys first post time,
First of all the info on this site is incredible and has really got me right into this (always been a bit of a gardener but never chillies/peppers). So anyway this has really sparked my interest so much I got started maybe back in Jan however due to many issues (possums, shading, grubs) I've moved my production to pots where I should be able to cut back the possum and shading issues at least.
My main question is anyone on this forum from around Brisbane that has grown through winter? I've just moved up so not sure what it's like. Just wondering if I should be getting my hopes up or be patient that I'll have a mega head start come next summer
Here is a link for our climate statistics so other people can voice...
This is a log of my first attempt to overwinter anything, so should be interesting. Since I am in a fairly mild winter climate (high 30's low 40's av. dec/jan low) with usually only a handful of nights below freezing I decided to attempt to do an outdoor overwinter.
So far I have:
Built a few raised beds out of re purposed fence redwood. After that I placed one of the raised beds over/around my pre-existing in ground pepper plants. Then I shovelled in a bunch of dirt to fill the raised beds and aggressively pruned the foliage on my peppers to make them more compact and fit in a hoophouse with room to grow over the winter months. Then I built a cheap hoophouse using youtube guide using PVC, pipe straps, zip ties, 4 mil clear...
Hey everyone, this is my first year growing hot peppers and have found this site very helpful. Thought i'd start a grow log and show you guys what you've helped me achieve in the last month...here goes, Hope you like pictures!!
So i ordered some seeds from the chilli peper company in england, seeds are:
Orange habanero
Chocolate habanero
Fatalii
Bhut Jolokia
Naga Morich (king)
Naga Viper
Ring of Fire
I also pulled some seeds out of some dried peppers after I put them through a blender haha..had about 10 of them germinate, I have no idea what type of pepper they are but they tasted great and seem to be growing at the same speed as ring of fire so im guessing that they're some sort of annum, time will tell.
I started the seeds off in a...
So this year I wanted to grow some peppers after being bored at work and browsing the internet. I found out that the ghost chili isn't the hottest pepper in the world anymore. That got me interested in what was and all sorts of other things. Then I found this website and am constantly on it reading. Because of this my girlfriend says I have problems because of how much I'm on here. So that's a bit of a backstory on how I got started on this. :)
So for my first grow I'll be growing

Hoping to have a good grow from this for my first year...
A few weeks ago we moved from Portugal to Spain. We found a nice place with a garden, and now I start to like peppers........
This is the garden
and here I am planning to put some peppers
This is a nice place to construct a germination box
Ok.... Let's start with the germination box.
In a big hurry i made the structure for the box, this was done in no time. There was only a small problem, my car is not big enough to transport all the wood needed, so I ordered it and asked them to bring it. I also ordered the wood that I am going to use for the hydroponics system that I am going to make....later I will post some pics.
After two weeks arrived the wood (last friday) this weekend was all about constructing the box
The box...
So i've decided to start up a grow log to just show how i am progressing with my attemp. Currently i have the following seedling happening.
Hot Cherry
Sweet Datil
Cap Pub 1486
Bishops Hot
Orange Lantern
cap 217 hyper
po cheong
orange t scorpion
orange monzano
nagabon
peruvian white
pimenta de neyde
habanero orange
habanero yellow
habanero red
habanero choclate
Thai chilli
Cayenne red (high yield)
Store bought (unknown, very hot type)
inferno
The ones that i am attempting again are :
Choc bhut
purple tiger
primo 7 pot
BIH jolokia
Black pearl
trinidad yellow bonnets
martinique
trinidad scorpion
I have a few images below of what i am currently doing. I will be posting question regularly too. Please help me out if you have answers...
Combining these two for my first grow log for one reason...I mixed the seeds up...just so there was an element of "I wonder what I will get" (You gotta create your own excitement sometimes). Anyway...
Germinated these in the seedling tray shown below outside under the full shade of a carport. I have just moved them back to a shaded corner of the garden among other plants where I have had the most success. They already look better for it - or it could just be my imagination.
Have given them one feed of Seasol in total - might give another one in the next week - but will note it here if so.
As you can see, not all germinated.
Here we go...
I've started this year off pretty strong so far. Winter has been unusually warm for Kansas City, I started a bit early on the first of Feb.
Seeds were started in 3 small makup jars, cleaned out and filled with moistened toilet paper. Took a steak knife and made troughs in the paper. Seeds were put in and TP put on top. Jars were put on a heat pad and heated to 80F. I hadded two more containers using smaller cat food containers (aluminum bottom, plastic lid). One was TP with troughs, the other I made the TP smooth, laid the seeds on top, then used one of my wife's makup removal cotton pads (circular and just smaller than the cat food container).
Seeds I started with were Santaka, VBA Jalapeno (family favorite strain), Poblano...

Thanks again guys & gals, couldn't of done it without you!!!
The circle of life 2012 has begun again for me . Have got some Bombay morich & Dorset naga seedlings at 1 day old . Used a old method of germination using weak tea solution and it worked fantastically ... From soaking to seedling break through in 6 days is pretty impressive I think . Seeds kindly donated from PIC 1 .... Will try and sort out uploading some pictures later . Used a mixture of John innes seeding compost, then mixed some vermiculite into it ...placed in a polystyrene coffee cup ...placed in the seeds and put it into a heated propagator .
