Start a Grow Log for your growing season.
Well, I hear tell it's (past) time to start a Glog, so why not give it a try. I've been on here for years and always enjoyed reading them. So, I thought it might be fun to write one for a change...or not? lol
Anyway, for this year's grow, I came up with a few themes. First, I'm participating in a couple of the THP grows, namely the Growdown Throwdown and the P. Dreadie SB grow. I'm doing a Bhut grow and a Jalapeno grow. I've already had some successful seed pops. Left half - Chinense, right half everything else (three weeks later). Needing some potting up.
Also, I'm attempting to do an “old seed” re-stock. I'm going back to the original seed I received many years ago from folks and try to isolate and produce new seed stock. They...
Hi, I'm Royce from South Africa and I've been growing peppers for a few years now. I've been really loving the baccatums and the Chinense BBGs so last year 2020 I decided to try my hand at some hybridizing and thought why not try cross the two species.
I made a friend in Italy who has been growing his baccatum x Chinense for a few generations and it got me excited to get it going.
My 1st interspecific is of Aji Cito x Mamp Black Berrygum. I grew it out this season and was very pleased that it was a successful attempt.
Please see my pictures and let me know what you think.
Hello, Cappers.
It's been a year a and a most of a pepper season since we moved to our new garden site. So I've been somewhat busy re-building.
Pepper seeds don't last forever, but I have 138 pepper seed lots going back 8 years maybe. So. what to do to get a jumpstart?
A few did sprout last year; Inca Red Drop, Cabe Merah Panjang, and a 7 Pot Barrockpore that I thought I'd try to overwinter.
The Panjang and 7 Pot B I left in the garage grow-shelves and they did OK until early spring when aphids ATE THEM MERCILESSLY down to a stem and few leaf buds.
The Inca got front row in the living room windows and produced by spring one ripe pepper (who's 4 seeds sprouted!).
I did receive a treasure chest from Sawyer of Papa Dreadie and Sulu Adana...
Hi. Although not new to pepper growing it's my start to THP. I'll try to maintain a decent log of my grow/experimentation, as i'm trying to figure out the best way to grow peppers in my northern canadian climate
Currently, i'm in my first try at overwintering. I have saved 4 habanadas feom last season. All have different growing condition.
My first 2 are simply in front of a south facing window. Currently i have about 8 hours from sunrise to sunset and weather is often cloudy/snowing
The one on the left has been dug out of the ground so both leaves and roots suffered a severe haircut. The one on the right was in a pot all summer long so only a minor root cut followed by transplanting was required. So far the healthier of the 4 by...

I am still in the planing stage for this year grow.
My list is not even properly formed .
I got alot of old seed that I've been going threw & waiting for a order to come in.
This year really the direction I've been heading these past seasons is geared towards pepper jelly or rather Jam as I come to believe that's what I actually make .
I'm also looking towards pickling & hot sauce making .
My ideal pepper profile is hot to very hot ,sweet & fruity not much floral citrus is fine as well.
I loved the Yellow Trinidad Scorpion I had some seasons back crunchy , juicy & sweet with fruity & citrus tones
It was pretty darn hot as well.
I may of been a cross the guy I tried it form never would give a clear answer .
If it was a cross I believe...

"Welcome to the New Year/ New Season!"
Hello THP fellows,
i haven't been posting much of lately so i thought it was time to share some quick shots.
This year's grow is really on a small scale due to the chronic lack of time, but i'm back to superhot land where little harvest goes a long time :D
- 2 x Chocolate Moruga (SLP)
- 2 x Trinidad Scorpion Red CARDI (Bhuter)
- 2 x Naga Morich (my seeds)
- 2 x Brain Strain (SLP)
Things have been rolling pretty slow so far but the nice weather is finally come and i hope to have some nice fruits hanging in the summer.

Welcome to the next episode of some half-witted fish neglecting pepper plants in Japan! While my wife will be keeping two of my off-season plants outside (KS Lemon Starrburst and Nanbu), the indoor stuff is -- aside from the SR Peach -- entirely new to me in terms of growing. So I'm hoping to get both some fun new flavors, particularly from the Casados, and a pod I'm absolutely in love with thanks to PaulG in the Jamaican red habanero. I expect this to be an excellent season for sauce.
The main characters were started in mini Kratky bottles based on Khang Starr's method for intentionally root-binding plants in small containers to force them to pod up quickly. Unfortunately, this did not work for me at all, so now I have a fun variety...
I have an urban "garden" on the roof of a house in tropical Chiapas, Mexico. It's the first year that I'm growing plants - mostly Capsicum - in this location. I lived in a temperate region of Europe before, and the adaptation to different growing conditions is not without setbacks. Another issue is that not all material that I would like to use is commonly available here, so at times I have to be more creative than I actually want to be. That being said, it is also unbelievable (for me, at least) to see how some plants manage to grow in this climate even in adverse conditions (despite my bad treatment, that is).
I have obtained seeds from various sources (abbreviations in parentheses will be used in this glog): White Hot Peppers...
Growing Trinidad perfume, lemon drop, Trinidad pimento,
and foodaroma scotch bonnet red and yellow.
Started seedlings in February. Poor germination with the scotch bonnets. My seedlings would have done better with more light. Have had aphids since early , and I let the aphids grow for a few weeks before treating.
Peppers have really been doing well outside in full sunlight recently. We had a few rainy weeks and the peppers really improved in health during that period. I may have been underwatering the Peppers - and the rain also seems to have reduced the aphids.
I now have multiple very healthy good sized pimento plants with numerous flowers. Lemon drop looks ok and has many peppers. Perfumes look ok - many distorted...
Hi all!

- Fatalii 6
- Fatalii Red 2
- Yellow Devil's Tongue 1
- Papa Joe's SB 3
- Scotch Bonnet MOA 3

- Tepin x Lemon Drop 3
- "Aji Cito" (Panama) 1
Hey all. First of all, I wish everyone a good grow this season! :cheers:
Off to another season, almost too late, but still on time :)
Today I started this year's pepper journey, not so big, but it'll keep me warm.
So I tried a few from an old stock and some from the latter seasons. Will see what will sprout. I guess the new ones will, no doubt.
The nurseries are stocked way better than a few years back around here, so I guess the chili fever has spread and I can expect some interesting seedlings to pick from later on in the spring, if I have problems with my own.
OK guys, I know I'm not much of a writer on this forum but I do read it daily. Maybe it's time to try a glog again...
I started my seeds on the 1st of February. These are the ones I selected for my grow this year...
Jalapenos:
Farmers Market Jalapeno
Rayados Jalapeno
Zapotec Jalapeno
Jalapeno Dieghito
Telica Jalapeno
Scotch Bonnets:
Foodarama Yellow
Schneider Farms
Freeport Orange
Marabella Market Yellow
Papa Dreadie
Bhuts:
Bhut Jolokia Caramel
Bhut Jolokia Peach
Misc:
Ancho Poblano
Piment D'Espelette
Gochugaru
At first I wanted to make this a Jalapeno only season with 10 Jalapeno varieties + Piment D'Espelette and Gochugaru. But then I thought... the Scotch Bonnet season that I wanted to do in 2019 turned out into a fiasco...
I played around with a small hydroponic system a few years ago ( 6 Dutch buckets in a recirculating system ) and managed to grow more serrano tampiqueno peppers than I knew what to do with. Always wanted to try something bigger so once I had some free space available I built a heated 24' x 32' high tunnel hoop house and started to build this inside.
2 rows of 16 Dutch buckets that will be fed by a 100 gallon reservoir. I got tired of having rocoto plants loaded with unripened peppers at the end of the season so I'll let them have a nice warm home to finish the job. Figured I'd see if rocotos handle hydroponics as well as the serranos did. Don't have pictures yet, but I've attached runs of 2" pvc on either side as return lines for...
Hi all!
This is my third grow blog. You can find the first one here, and my second one here
I started out with pure hydroponics using both kratky and growdan blocks as I was restricted to indoor growing. Last year I experimented with indoor coco coir with great succes using the auto pots!
Now this year will be a little different, because due to a new job I had to move and my new apartment have a huge glass balcony (facing south)!
Under firm negotiations with the GF I managed to land a deal to have 4 outdoor plants.
As part of the deal I had to give up one of my two grow tents ;)
However this means I will have coco coir indoor, and for the first time in a long time I'll have plants in soil outdoor!
Im really excited to compare...
I wasn't planning to do a grow log this year, too much going on and little time to devote, but I've had a real good seedling season, so I thought I'd drop in from time to time to glance around and give you guys n gals something to talk about...
SUPER small list this season, but germ rate was outstanding on some varieties, so whaddaya do?
Pubescens
Aji Oro Rocoto (spawn of Aji Oro OW)
Rocoto Rojo (from 2019 harvest)

Well, here we go again. The indoor offseason got away from me around the turn of the year, so I decided to shut things down and start clean with the new outdoor season.
I dropped all the wilds, rocotos, baccatum, chinense and frutescens earlier this month and, excepting wilds, pretty much everything is up and growing. One thing I did different this year was I didn't presoak seeds, except for a few wilds. I checked the days-to-germinate for the first round varieties against how they did last year and, based on a quick look, it seems they were generally maybe a couple days slower, which is about what I'd expect.
Today, I transplanted all the baccatum (except Berry Amarillo) plus a few Moz Piri Piri (thanks Tybo!), which are...
Howdy, how you all been? This thread is going to be the permanent one where all is posted instead of jumping all over the forum. The inside plants are still alive and kicking. Have the 2021 grow seeds ready to be started probably at the end of this month.
Here's the list:
lemon drop
goronong 7 pot madballz naglah beast
little bastard primotalii
kaos jalapeno chernobyl
ramirez stinger hurt berry
aji charapita moruglah
7 pot douglah wrecking ball X 7 pot brown
New year and new peppers.
This years plan is to build pellet greenhouse for chilis and solar powered watering, if anyone has such system, please tell me.
Ps. That "bonchi" is now 4yo

Well I figured it's time to start one of these. Like all good grow logs a good year starts with a clean table and lots of room to work before it falls into the usual mess of dirt and cups.
You can follow our grow here or for a 'to the minute' updates on instagram http://instagram.com/pepper.merchant
Here's to the other growers and to all the plants people ordered!
Hey Pepperheads! DeadSilent here starting a grow log for my so far 18 varieties of hot and super hot peppers! I will be adding 20+ when we get closer to 2022! As of today the majority of my seeds come from Baker Creek, but there are a few from Sherwood Seeds, Waylands Chiles, and Fatalii. I have a few more varieties coming from White Hot Peppers to be added to the line up!
Starting this grow I plan on keeping 36 of the 66 that have sprouted. I would keep them all but I am limited on indoor space for the winter. I hate to cull any of the herd, so I’ll be trying to give away the 30 that I can’t fit into my tent over the winter. As we get closer to spring I want to have close to 40 different varieties. 2 of each kind for a total of 80...
If you have some ripening pods or harvested pods that have a funky/unique shape, color, or other.... post them here! The funkier the better!
So I couldn't wait any longer and decided to get the mix out set up the seed greenhouse and get a move on 2021. This year is gonna be the earliest I've ever started seeds for the season, so we should have some monsters by the time we plant out around Mothers Day. This year we have a nice variety and we got some science experiments to play with. That will come later on so just wait and see what I have in store. Unless noted I only used 1 cell per variety. We're going to go a full on container grow this year due to the house I currently rent has little to no yardage being in the suburbs, so we'll make due with buckets and fabric pots. I did a few 5 gallon plants before and they always came out beautiful so we shall see what this year...
Today launches The Pacific Northwest GLOG 2017, geared towards growers from the following regions:
Oregon
Washington
Alaska
Northern California
Idaho
Montana
Wyoming
British Columbia
Lets hope for a great grow season up here!
Feel free to post any info about peppers growing (or not) in the PNW region (or not)
What’s up, gang! This isn’t going to be much a GLOG this year; more of me just popping in and dropping a few pictures here and there, when I have the time (remember ;) )
Had a rough couple of years in the pepper department. Overtime (or night shift) at work for the past 2 years caused me to lose all of my seedlings in the Spring, forcing me to order plants online. No big deal but, when harvest time came around, I was working 6 nights a week, from 4pm-4am, with over an hour one-way commute 🙄 Didn’t have the time to harvest anything and ended up watching all of my pods rot on the vine. “No big deal,” I thought. “I still have a few gallons of pods in the chest freezer!” Well, as luck would have it, my chest freezer shit the bed, and I...
Not going to be much this year. We are adding a privacy fence, so the raised bed is out of commission until next year, hopefully bigger and better.
Anyway, I have three clones that survived of the five cuttings I took last October. These are (I believe) and unintentional cross of a Red Primo and a CPR. The plant was from seeds from a CPR pod grown in 2019.
They spent the winter under a cheap two-lamp two-foot T5HO fixture with 6500K lamps, and next to a west facing window.
Also doing a few bells and tomatoes.

Unnecessary history -skip to A at will.
My last glog was 2015 it appears. I just evaporated. A medical issue in '14 took me forever to get adjusted to the meds and by '15, I just threw in the towel out of frustration I guess.
The garden got shoved to the back burner. I helped with my daughters small plot, but that was 350 miles away. I was there every other weekend because my wife had moved in with her family to help with grandchildren You have to have priorities I guess :P. The overall plan was for me to stay and sell the business and our house and move in too until we found a place close by. That operation completed the first week of spring 2020 when a moving truck rolled up to our new house (almost attached...

Peppers in the Trees 2021
A Grow Log
I'm back! I joined in 2015-16-17 and had a fantastic run. I got a new job in 2017 as a Commercial Construction Superintendent. I was working a lot and just didn't have time to for gardening. Stress was high but the pay was great. At the time we were living in San Diego with our 4 kids and I had to put my hobbies on the backburner just to LIFE.
Fast forward to Jan, 2021, we are living in Northern California in the ultra rural area that I grew up in, Quincy CA. Life has slowed WAY down. We have horses and a few acres to call our own. Horses have become a big part of our life, especially with my 11yr old daughter. Horse manures was stacking up quick, we produce about 20yds of manure a year.

Some of you may remember me from my glogs of years past, where the misery and anguish and failure have solidified into joy-diamonds centralized entirely in the center of my chest, causing sharp, shooting jolts of excitement throughout my body.

Hello everyone and thanks for looking at my "Into the Fire" Glog!!
So I started my gardening hobby in my early 20's about 16 years ago now, and though I have played around with many types of flowers/vegis tomato's is what most of my energy was put into. I loved alll the different colors and types that could be grown which really reminds me of all the exciting Chilli variety's that exist today. A couple seasons ago while looking for some info on a particular type of sweet pepper I stumbled onto a few videos of some people eating super hots (Ghost,Reapers ect..). After looking into it a little more I figured this would be a very interesting thing to grow even just as a novelty since really no one in my area grows much if anything at...
Hell, here goes nothing.
January 6: Sow chinense varieties. I ended up covering with soil but it wasn't deep enough, so quick germination but too many helmet heads. Reaper, Bhut J, Bih J, Carbonero, Scotch Bonnet, and a couple Cayenne for topping experiment later.
January 12: First germinations.
January 20: First true leaves. Some turned purple or got crunchy because I read it is good to have lights close up to the seedlings. Well..it was too much. Read the mfg instructions and they recommend 40% power 24 inches away for seedlings for 14-16 hours a day. Oops.
January 26: Potted up some of the leggy ones.
February 6: Potted the rest up last weekend. No new growth since transplant except a couple of cayenne in...

I wanted to get these photos of some peppers Ive got growing inside posted and figured I'd include them in my 2021 grow log since they are gonna be around for awhile. These are three of the Scarlett's Chilli X Poblano. I liked the taste of the F1's and I interested to see what becomes of the F2's. I got the F1 seeds from PollenNut and posted those photo's in his original topic here:http://thehotpepper.com/topic/73286-f1bc1-free-seed-being-offered/page-8#entry1705015
I started the three of these at the end of October. Wish I could have started more since these are the F2's but I'm limited on space inside. (Reserving space for the seed starts of my main grow)
