Hello everyone!
I have been returning to this site a couple of times now and found a lot of very useful information! So i decided to post about my own grow. This is the first real (and rather small) pepper grow that i attempted, other than messing around with store bought plants. I am about 4 weeks into my grow and about 2 1/2 weeks since the seeds sprouted.
I currently am attempting to grow 8 seeds of each:
-Bhut Jolokia
-7 Pot Chaguanas
-Fatalli
-Trinidad Congo
-and random seeds in a free pack
They are growing in Jiffy pellets (also a first time for me) with heat underneath. I am currently feeding with fish emulsion at 5-1-1 diluted first at 1/2 strength then using that diluted again into the normal water feedings. I saw this method...
Well as some of you might know I've been bombarding the Grow Tech forum section with TONS of questions as I am a newbie to this realm of growing Super Hots. My buddy has been growing them for awhile, gave me a couple to eat and I got hooked! Here is what I have for a start so far :) And I have to say I'm pretty happy. Yes I know its a later start, just hoping with a bit of climate shift and Texas being Texas that I manage.
My version of skittles - YUMMM!
After learning so much around the forums I thought I would share my indoor setup:
System Specs:
Flo-n-gro containers
5x10 Gro Tent
11x 135w 5 band LED UFO's (80w of actual power draw) In the 5x10 tent
I also have also have another "closet" made out of some old shelving. It's all connected but I'm growing lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and some smaller pepper plants in there.
Nutrients:
I'm using a method called the Lucas Formula. It uses the General Hydroponics Micro and Bloom and discards the grow. This makes it a little cheaper changing out Nutes on a monthly basis and keeps it simple. The benefit from using this formula is it doesn't change from vegetative state to bloom state. Which is why I can connect my entire system...
Hi all
Well this season I would have to say has been my worst season yet mainly due to extremely hot weather (the hottest it has been on record for over 33yrs and no rain for like 2 months). Unfortunately it was the year that I also decided to grow the most. So results are not what I expected but thought I would share some photos of the best outcomes so far.
I decided to grow about 1,000 for plant sales through my business Wildfire Chilli (all sold out now), about 500 plants at an organic farm for fruit for my products (sauces, dried chillies, purees ec) and to offer some for sale to customers and as well as my own garden for pleasure and also other plants at home with isolation tents for seed sales.
Here are some pics from my home...
So this year I started these guys from seed and have come along pretty good. The two types are Black Krim and German Green. My first time growing tomatoes, anyone else growing these? And what should I expect in the future from them?
These ones I'm giving to my friend for her birthday so I transplanted them up to bigger pots so she has some time to figure out what she wants to do with them later.
Root shot
bhut jolokia
choc habenero
yellow scorp
butch t scorp
7 pod brain strain
naga morich
aji chuncho
fatalii
capsium praetermissum(cumari)
red habenero
So I decided to check the germ rate on some of my peppers and got great results.
I live in Southern cali so they should do great through our winter
Problem is i mixed the pots up and dont know what they are, lol!!
I planted 6 bhut 3 from two different supplies and 3 savannah reds, so we will see what happens.
this is my closet will have 3 lights and reflective film and be more permanent
seddlings up close
this is in my garage for more seeds in a month or so
with light. I am thinking of enclosing it to hold more heat and doing reflective film(mylar or emergency blankets)
this is my first year trying to grow peppers. i have learned so much from so many difrent posts on this site. i have gotten free seeds from some of the people on hear. thanks to every one.
my first batch off seeds have started to grow i have seven pods trinidad scorpions aj lemon drops and bhutjalokias.
used a heat mat to get them going put them in my window and put a small jumpstart light on them.
I started off by just puting some seeds from one of the pods i was going to eat in a container. was not even serious abought growing them figured they would not grow
wattered then every couple of days. them one day i seen green.
after reading the article on the grow tech section about lights and looking around i figured it was...
15x TS Butch T's in pots
15x Ghost Peppers in pots
Moruga seeds in tray. Thus far, have three confirmed seedlings, and expect many more.
Hola mates,
greetings from Czech rep.,
:cheers:
i am complete novice and beginner., I've not grown anything, much less chili .. I read a forum the cell several times, but valuable advice, experience and criticism of all of you more experienced advice welcome :-)

germination success:
Naschzipfel / Medusa: 4/4
Bacio Di Satana: 3/3
Pequin: 2/3

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the site and new to growing peppers. This is my first time ever growing peppers from seed. I placed an order for some seeds from Pepper joes. I planted them a couple weeks ago and now I have some pepper seedlings. I also ordered an indoor greenhouse called the sunhut with 48" T5 HO florescent's to grow the peppers. The Sun hut just arrived today and I spent the evening getting it set up. I took a couple quick pictures with my cell phone. Please feel free to let me know if I should make any changes or adjustments to my setup as this is my first time trying to grow hot peppers.
Here is a list of what I am growing:
Ghost pepper.
Giant ghost pepper.
Butch T pepper.
Taz hab.
Scotch bonnet.
Yatsy pepper.
5 color...
This year I'm doing much the same as before.
I've germinated several pepper seeds:
Orig. Yellow 7 from PepperLover
Papa Joe's Yellow Scotch Bonnet from Chris
Bahamas Goat from Chris
Sport from Tomato Growers
Pimenta de Padron from Tomato Growers
Along with the peppers I've germinated a few tomato seeds
Amazon Chocolate from Diane's Seeds
Berkely Tie-Dye Pink from Wild Boar Farms
Sun Sugar from Trade Winds
I started all the seeds in rockwool but will be growing in pots. A gardening store close by carries the Fox Farm line so I'll be using the Ocean Forest potting mix. Right now the pepper seedlings are fine but my tomato seeds are iffy, I can always start more though.
I'll start posting pictures once I've potted them up.

Hey all,
I've been lurking and learning for a couple years, so I figured I'd post my 2012 grow to get some feedback. Living where I do, this hobby has pretty much gotten me through two nasty winters as I eagerly anticipate spring.
It's only my second year growing more than grocery-store calibre peppers, so my list isn't all that extensive:
Fatalii
Bhut Jolokia (Red)
Bhut Jolokia (Chocolate)
Red Savina
Trinidad Scorpion (Red)
Trinidad Scorpion (Butch T)
Habanero (Red)
Habanero (Orange)
Habanero (Mustard)
7 pot/pod Brain Strain yellow
White Bullet Habanero
Dorset Naga
Douglah
Bulgarian Carrot
And a handful of other varieties I don't remember because my "foolproof labeling system" failed horribly when I forgot to save the excel file I...
Yeah I know, real original title. :think:
So here's what i'm growing this year. It's a short list because I lack the space...also I couldn't justify spending $14 to cover the minimum purchase requirement for just one strain from nmsu. I started germing 4 of each of these a little over a week ago (friday 2/10)
bhut jolokia
black pearl
caribbean red hab
chili de arbol
chocolate hab
tabasco
thai hot
Since a couple of them popped yesterday and some today. I decided it was time to plant them and start logging the progress. I didn't start a grow log until today because I didn't want to count my chickens before they hatched. So far the popped list is as follows: all of the black pearls, all the caribbean reds, 2 tabascos, 3 thai, and 2...
Moved my plants into my room today and set up my two 65w Walmart Plant bulbs overtop of them. Here are some pics!
These all sprouted at the same time, but I ran out of pots so i've kept the others in small 2in pots. Should I pot them up yet? They're about 4" tall
This plant is getting huge! Its over 9" tall, 3x taller then all the others.
Here's the grow station, I like to keep the two things in life close to me, my guns and my plants.
Thought i start a grow log. First time growing from seeds, have had habaneros and birds eye in the past but were all bought as seedlings from the nursery.
I have 8 varieties that i am trying... to grow they are:
Dorset Naga 3/3
7 Pot 1/3
Bih Jolokia 0/3
Chocolate Habanero 1/3
Black Pearl 0/3
Black Prince 1/3
Explosive Ember 0/3
Costa Rica 2/3
Having not much experience in this field at all i have tried to keep the plan fairly simple and we'll see how it goes. Total of 24 seeds were to be planted. I soaked 3 seeds of each variety for a few hours first then planted them in jiffy pellets and put them inside the mini greenhouse on a heat mat. Unfortunately the heat mat has no thermostat but sits most of the time at 10deg above ambient...
Howdy all. I'm still fairly new here and I have posted a lot of questions. But wanted to begin posting some progress. I have a few other threads where I'm having issues with seedlings, but I have had some seeds turn out.
I will post here shortly.
So, here we go.
These photos were all taken January 15th, 2012.

#7 Goat's Weed (Trade Winds Fruit Company)
#9 Serrano (I believe these are Burpee or one that starts with a "C" :P)
Jalapeno from Hamburger Restaurant
This is a Meyer's Lemon
Then I built my own grow area:
This is my 1st year growing chiles. I hope that I can have a bountiful crop as I absolutely love a combination of flavor and heat - I'm now find myself using chiles in virtually everything that I make.

Didn't have time to keep a log last year so here's to trying in 2012!
Started all my seeds last year in our spare bedroom closet. Now that room has been taken over by our newest daughter. Finally won over my wife and I get a corner of the closet again! Time to get rolling now...
Pics to follow
My lil corner complete with diapers and tutus!
All wired up and good to....
...go!
Trays soaking in some peroxide/h20 solution right now.
After two unusual seasons in which I started this hobby, I think I've found my sweet spot, and started my seedlings two weeks ago.
One of the biggest lessons for me was to scale down my number of plants. Two years ago, my bro-in-law and I started out with ~100 plants split between our houses, which was too many for a noob. There was simply too much work to do, and it meant that we sometimes let things slip on timing, and it caused issues.
Last season, I had some health issues, and didn't get my seedlings started until late Feb. I had decided to try out hydro, and received an Emily's Garden for Xmas. So, in addition to scaling back the number of plants, I also did 6 hydro plants in a homemade DWC setup. Unfortunately, something...
Hi all! I've really enjoyed reading peoples' grow logs, so I'll participate!
This is really my second year attempting "superhots." Last year my plants hardly produced anything, but through reading this forum I think it was mainly because my soil compacted - it was 1/2 garden soil, 1/2 compost in 7gal pots. They were like bricks when I pulled them out. They all started out great, then the bottom leaves just started dying. I got very few pods from my 20 potted plants. This year will be different!
I got my seeds from Tadewinds Fruit except the Bhuts which I got at a local nursery. They are under a 4 tube 2' T5 fixture about 5" above the seedlings in a little mini greenhouse from Lowe's and planted in ProMix BX. I planted these about 10...
OK here's what I have in the seed trays 213 spots 50 or more have sprouted!
1. choco habs
2. Bhut Jolokia red
3. Peruvian White
4. Trinidad Yellow Brain Strain
5. Trinidad Beans
6. Trinidad Whites
7. Trinidad scorpian BT
8. 7 POD Burgandy :)
9. Lemon Drop
10. AJI Lemon
11. AJI Habs
12. Aribibi Gusano
13. Bird Chili
14. Caribe red habs
15. Orange Habs
16. La Reina de los AJI :pray:

19. AJI Limo Rojo
20.Maule's Red Hot
21. NAGA Morich
22. Cayenne Blend
23. Mulato Isleno Pablano
24. African Fatalli Yellow
Pictures when I figure out how to add LOL.
Ok so here it goes, my first try at a grow log.
Here is the list of the different types i have growing, or starting. A lot of these are overwintered from last season. Unfortuantly alot of the tags i had to label the plants have all been blown away. Will have to wait and see what pods i get :lol:

Hello everyone. I´ve been reading THP for a long time and now i decided to share my next growing season with you! I live in Finland and the summer is quite short in here, but beginning the season inside makes it possible to grow chiles here.
My season started 11/24/11 by germinating C.Pubescens varieties. I will be germinating C.Chinenses in the beginning of January, and C.Baccatums and C.Annuums in February.
My growlist (at least for now)
C.Annuum
- Leek
- Jalapeno Biker Billy
- Kunja
C.Baccatum
- Aji Cristal
- Aji Fantasy
- Inca Red Drop
- Trepadeira Werner
- Sugar Rush
C.Chinense
- 7 pod Primo
- Habanero Sebaco
- Habanero Brown Large
- Clavo
- Pimenta Diomar
- Trepadeira Werner
- CGN21500
- Fatalii White
C.Pubescens
-...
To summarize, I had too much free time, and then this came into my mind:
Old Hydroton+Old pot originally used for a basil plant, with cut slits+An old aerated brine shrimp hatching kit (with a modified bottle height)+Some electrical tape+A spare Bhut Jolokia seedling=A fully improvised deep water culture setup!
EDIT: Oops, I should have posted this in the Grow Tech section, sorry!
Well from the few I had already and the ones I have gained since being on here my list is starting to look okay and above the average until compared to many on here.lol...

Well all I can say is thank you for all the help you gave to a pepper newb.
I started my Bhut Jolokias in an egg carton and after a few weeks moved them into a plastic bag with damp paper towels under a reading lamp for heat until they sprouted.
Next I bought some 6 inch flower planters the ones that drain realy good.
And as soon as I saw the root pop out of the seeds I planted them in the dirt.
Miracle grow potting soil I have not added any nutrients.
I started them in a box and used a floro blacklight and a reading lamp for a few weeks untill I set up my new system .
I then asked a few lighting questions 3 + pages of help thanks.
I know have a nice t5 light system in a totaly foiled out closet. I also have a cfl clamp on light in...
Hello everyone, im kinda new to growing chillies but would like to share a few pics of my babies.
All my seeds I have bought from neil from the hippy seed company and this season I have taken neils advice on soil mix, simple but effective.
I found that I had the best germ rates by Preheating the jiffys then droping the seeds straight into the preheated jiffys , seeds germed 2 days faster .
Don’t ask me why and only took 6 days.
The bigger plants were started on the 3rd sept .
This is my grow log for this season.

Hi everyone,
Thought I would start a log with my chilli plants for the season. I live about 35 minutes north of Melbourne and I am relatively new to growing chillies (this is my second season). Last season I had some success with a naga morich (after months of flower drop), orange habaneros and african birdseyes.
This time I have spent a fair bit of money and time to date preparing for the 2011/2012 season ( aspiring to JungleRains efforts, however a long way short of that for now ;) ). My grow list is as follows:
Trinidad Scorpion (Butch T)
Douglah
Yellow 7 Pod
Naga Morich (overwintered)
Bih Jolokia
Chocolate Habanero
Orange Habanero
Peruvian White Habanero
Scotch Bonnet
Fatali
Bishops Crown
Aji Amarillo
Aji Lemon
Rocoto

Everything is in coco, in a 72 cell greenhouse set up, on a heating pad. Only 6 days in and we already have some action from the Datils and the Devil's Tongue! Here is some porn for ya, more to come!
No activity 'yet.' Holding off until early February to start my seeds. I'm pondering what to grow this year. I'm thinking of backing off the super hots some this season in exchange for other stuff. I've gotten my hands on some real interesting local varieties from specific counties. :) Something is telling me maybe it's time to grow them out and see how they turn out. A change from the 'norm' may be fun and I actually prefer to eat peppers in the 7-8 of 10 range as opposed to 12 of 10. lol.
Also, I'm hoping my pepper maggot issue may be history based on some help Smokemaster provided me. :) We'll see. That could make pepper growing more interesting too!
There is one promise...won't be boring. lol. There are a few super hots...
Living in IA and in an apartment, with only summer sun on the westside of bldg, are there any ideas to what type of hot peppers one could grow out of a pot??? From reading other posts it sounds like there are alot of experts out there. Thanks for any & all help.
