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.
Bhut Jolokia
T.Scorpion Butch T
Tabasco
Super chilli f1

Naga jolokia (seeds I saved from some pods neil sent me)

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
Thai...
Year 2 of pepper growing officially began on 1-8-2012, lets hope for a better year this year with more patience and less heat from the texas sun! This year I have 13 different peppers, germinating 4 of each, unless otherwise noted.
Grow List

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.
Hey never done 1 of these but have had several of you say try.Photos will follow but for starters
For starters I have

Megamoo's 2011/2012 Grow Log
It's the 4th of August and time to start a grow log. This will be only my second year and second grow log. Because I tend to go on and on talking about crap I will make a commitment to only post if there are pictures to post with it so it stays entertaining.
I've already germinated some seeds inside and am eagerly awaiting the end of winter so I can begin construction of my forest of chillies :D
Firstly a recap of what has happenned up to now.
Being bored in the off season I started three Jalapeno seeds in on 17th may. One week later I got a hook.
This got me gander up and I jumped in ;)
On 7th June I soaked in chamomile tea and planted seeds of:
Jaimca Scotch Bonnet
Aji Amarillo

Well, I finally got motivated and dropped some seeds in my 162 count plug tray this afternoon. Filled up 100 of the spaces. It's always so hard to narrow anything down. I've got the seed tray on a heating mat calibrated to 86 degrees. Sowing so many individual varieties is always one huge chore. I kind of envy people like AJ planting 100 of the same variety.
I sowed a lot of C. chinenses, some wild bird types, and wild praetermissums and a few other wild species. There is nothing very common on this years' list. lol. :) Tons of strange super hot cross attempts from people. At least I've got a solid system now as far as spreadsheets and tracking.
I wish I had acres to grow all I want. I could really get carried away!
I'll...
so, I don't think this is too bad for a first grow...These were germinated in Mid December... Had them under HPS, until recently

Hello everyone!
I'm new here to the forums but I have been browsing for a couple months now. I just recently fell in love with the idea of growing peppers but I live in a very limited space, an apartment with 2 cats.
So in order to fulfill my pepper growing need, I set up a little corner in my bedroom just for growing peppers and eventually some other veggies. I currently have 5 of these lights. 2 are over the plants, one is one one wall mounted and the other 2 are on the other wall. For the past 2 months I've only had 3 lights though, I just recently got 2 more.
I had to figure out what would be best for growing indoors for a couple months. I was looking up a lot of info on compact plants and ornamental peppers that are edible...
First, let me say I'm glad I found this forum. I've had a blast reading the threads and learned a bunch. This year I will be growing in the ground, in containers and hopefully in an aquaponic setup if all goes well. I should be starting seeds around Feb 1st if I get the greenhouse we picked up on Craigslist all squared away. We affectionally call our pepper plot "Hell's Garden".
Seeds:
RF- Refining Fire
PL-Pepper Lover
BC- Baker Creek Heirlooms
SSE- Seed Saver's Exchange Heirlooms
BTP- Bayou Trader's Peppermania
KIT- Kitazawa Seed Company
2012 Hell's Garden
--Sweet or Mild--
Sweet Red Stuffing--BC
Quadrato D'asti Rosso --BC
Kaleidoscope--BTP
Bull Nose Bell--SSE
Jimmy Nardello's--SSE

I ahvent been on here in years !
Despite a quick cold ront . My season re-begins. So far these ahve been a couple of the pilot group for the season. Two Pimienta de Neyde , a Hot Fish , and one Blondie ( C.Bacatuum)
Go Team Bahamas !
(^) Potting soil and Pilot Group Sprouts.
(^)Up Close and Personal
(^) Pure organic soil that isn't got tilled after years. It took a year to convert it from pure lime and s
and to workable brown organic soil and no after a year of dry dormancy it is being worked again.
These have been watered with warm water.
Let the season commence
Hi All,
I planted some SB7J seeds (thanks Patrick!), yesterday. They are on the right side, top and bottom. I started them off by giving them a nice 3 hour soak in warm water. Then I popped them in Rapid Rooters and under the humidity dome. The temps should stay between 78 - 84. I plan on putting one seedling in a DWC bucket and the other in soil. I'll get into more detail as they progress.
Thanks for looking.
Edward
Last year I made the cardinal error of starting to plant some six or ten weeks late, and I paid for it, by playing catch-up all year! At the end of it all, my harvest was 60% down on the previous year, though on the plus side, I did sell my product far more successfully, though that's really due to an improved marketing strategy and has little to do with skills in my hobby. Shame on me...!
This year, I started one day earlier than my planned date, just to set the right tone, and after nuking the grow mix, pouring myself an Espresso and selecting the seeds, I got down to work...:cool:
A long way to go, I know, but at least this train is running on schedule...! :dance:
Well this season, I have learned how to raise seeds into mature plants, a lot of learning and a lot of seeds...
I have ended up with many different things, some were very last minute and got from Bunnings, but I have six seedlings germinating now and I won't reveal those... yet.
the 1x just means there is one pot. I know some pots have up to 3 seedlings in each, in fact only two I can think of...
5x Unknown Capsicum Chinenses
1x Trinidad Scorpion (Butch T)
1x Jalapeno (Fire Starter)
1x Habanero (Orange)
1x Scotch Bonnet (Red)
1x Habanero (Red)
1x Brain Strain 7 Pot (Red)
1x Habanero (Yellow Mexican)
1x Hungarian Hot Wax
Amongst other things, I am also growing:
Beefsteak tomatoes, squashes. crystal apple cucumbers, gold rush zucchini...
This is my first year growing, I have a fair number of varieties to see how they go and see what I like for future grows. Fingers crossed they make it that far :)
Some of these will be going into pots, some in the ground. Basically to see what works best for me.
I only recently discovered this board so will add a few pics and descriptions all at once to bring this up to date.

check out the 8 plants i am currently trying to overwinter and so far everything looks good.
i cut them back drastically, pruned the roots, sealed the cutting surfaces with wax and repottet them in small pots
and put them directly to my glass door. let's see if i can keep them alive until next year !

My wife's brother in-law and I are in the market for some gardening software. For the most part we want something that we can use to log data such as...
-Track seed types
-Where stuff is planted (create a graphic of your garden and where plants are)
-When compost/ferts get added (user input)
-Costs (user input)
-Ability to upload pics into journal
-Supports all/most popular veges and of course peppers
-Can log plant sizes/production
-Calendar for when to Sow/Plant/Frost dates/etc.
So I think this would qualify as a program that is really an advanced journal of sorts that allows pics to be uploaded and has a built in calendar and graphic representation of the garden(s).
Anyone know of any software that would fit this bill? I have done...
Here we are again. I can't believe how fast the time goes by anymore. My pops always said the older you get the faster it passes us by.
I am especially excited about this year, I'm going to try and cross a couple of peppers, on purpose! Haven't made the final decisions yet though.
Anyway, here's a few that I overwintered. The one on the left came from a 7 Pod Barrackpore cutting. It struggled for a bit but the roots are starting to grow so I'm hopeful. Center front is a "large" 7 Pod, center rear was a very robust Dorset Naga and the one on the right is a 7 Pod Primo. The latter three I removed from 5-7 gal pots, trimmed the roots and cut them down to just the stem. They sat in my foyer where they got some limited sunlight through a...
Ever since i heard about the Foodarama Scotch Bonnet story and how the pepper was found only 10 miles from me, i decided to pay a visit to Foodarama myself. They did not have it. So i went to Fiesta, another grocery place and found something that looked like them. I did some digging in the basket of cachucas and found a large red one. Maybe a scotch bonnet? Anyways here are the pics.
Overview of all Cachucas i picked plus the large red one
Underneath shot
Close up of big red one
Inside big red one - smelled great, like habanero, first bite was not much heat, second bit produced more heat like a hab.
The Orange Manzano
Inside - tasted good, like a somewhat hot bellpepper
The Caribe
Inside the Caribe - smell great inside...
Another year.... Last year I used garden beds for the first time, growth was phenomenal, not so good with the pods. I'm going to put this down to having too much chicken manure and also having the plants too close together. This year, I am aiming for 10 plants per bed versus the 18 I went with last year, so we'll see how it all turns out.
A bed full of TS Butch T's, started first week of July, been in the beds for about a month now.
A bed of overwintered Asian Birdseye. I think I lost 6 of the 18 plants to the cold, but most have sprouted. I will replace the dead plants with replacement Asian Birdseye when they are ready to go.
The row closest to the footpath are all Bhut's, all Assam Bhut's I think. All but 1 survived the winter...
Hi Guys,
here's some pic of my plant so far.
here's some pic of what to come next year! i just made seeds test with ziploc and scott towel... this works very well so that way is my way to go.
so here,s the pics...
My stackup so far ;)
very basic but until i make some cleanup.... that will be it for now! just need the plant to be near the lamp ;)
Hey Guys. I decided to start a growlog. I will include up to date pictures of whats going on now, My 40+ variety 250+seeds I'm starting this December indoors, And soon I'll post pictures of either me failing, or successfully keeping my current plants alive through the winter in my garage greenhouse.
You all from THP have given me so much advice and help that I figured I'd show what I'm doing here in the Pacific Northwest. show a few things, learn a few things, and hopefully teach some people a few things. The weathers quite a bit different than most of the places I see members posting from. Alot colder, alot wetter, and most of my harvest is in late October(around the same time the frost likes come back into town) but I'm tryin! Seein...
Hi all This is my first grow log and im a noob at this and growing. Im growing other plants but have not taken pics. So i will try to take pics every tues day to log their progress. These are from seed i purchased off Ebay from a guy called darwincomedy. i think he is on here under the name craigzee. Soaked the seeds over night in water i kept warm. 6 days later i have these.
