ahayastani · Jun 11, 2020

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! Although I'm pretty old around here, this will be the first Glog. I have been growing peppers on the balcony since 2014. Last year I switched everything to hydroponics and I am very happy with it. Here is the growing list: Hanging pots: - Fatalii 6 - Fatalii Red 2 - Yellow Devil's Tongue 1 - Papa Joe's SB 3 - Scotch Bonnet MOA 3 - Black River SB 1 Floor pots: - Pimiento de la Puta la Madre 3 - Lemon Drop 2 - Chile Rayado 4 - Jalapeño M 4 - NuMex Vaquero 4 - Yellow Devil's Tongue 1 - Tepin x Lemon Drop 3 - "Aji Cito" (Panama) 1

tsurrie · Feb 10, 2021

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.

MarcV · Feb 3, 2021

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...

Crazy Monkey · Oct 26, 2021

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...

Mildfruit · Jan 17, 2021

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...

stettoman · Apr 26, 2021

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) Turbo Pube (from 2019 harvest) Hyper-X Rocoto (Canedog) Awesome Orange Rocoto (Canedog) Annuum Chimayo (Harry_Dangler) Nambe Pueblo (Harry_Dangler) Hernandez Hot (Harry_Dangler) Big Jim Legacy (Sandia) Serrano Tampiqueno (Sandia) YOLO Bell (Tradewinds Fruit) Overwinter XL Brown Rocoto (Canedog)...

CaneDog · Feb 28, 2021

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.

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!

DeadSilent · Sep 3, 2021

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!

ThePepperManiac · Jan 2, 2021

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...

Feel free to post any info about peppers growing (or not) in the PNW region (or not)

MikeUSMC · Aug 20, 2021

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...

alkhall · May 22, 2021

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.

JJJessee · Sep 3, 2020

Long time no read. 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. ...

CDNmatt · Dec 17, 2018

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...

Kramer · Feb 6, 2021

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 am growing ten plants in 3-gallon pots this season. Thinking about this because I want to be able to move them in and out of the garage or greenhouse this Fall in order to extend the season. Plus, I am not sure how much longer I want to wrestle with the big containers. Even wet 10-gallon pots are getting heavier each year, and always having to get help to lift the big containers in and out of...

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.

Some time has gone by and I am thinking I might be in the clear. I am not 100% sure, but to this date, I have not seen any signs of bad pepper virus' or even bugs for that matter so I am going to attempt to start a glog and hope for the best. Today, I started potting up my baccatums and some annuums. My chinense have been potted up and are looking fine. To start out, here are a pic of my two grow shelves: I have seen pretty good germination rates this year. Some of the older seeds didn't do well and if they did germinate, sometimes they were just helmet heads. As always, I grow too many plants. Lists to come.

Hi when it's 25 > 30+ C° should I continue to cover my seedlings with the transparent lid with air holes to increase the heat and humidity or just let them have raw sunlight No second leaf stage yet although one does seem to have 3 first stage leaves? Images taken yesterday. Thanks.

U)<now · Feb 28, 2021

Hey all! Took a while off from posting and didn't grow anything at all last year, sadly. Decided to get something going this year, albeit a lot smaller than my usual grows. Only started 40 plants (double seeds so 80 total) this year on February 25th. Started them in 3.5" pots instead of cells, I figure since im way behind my usual start date of early January, the extra room will help them grow faster and I won't have to transplant them right away. Currently remodeling the house so I had to downsize my setup to make it easier to move around as needed (going to be starting drywall soon). Seeds and varieties this year are all from my 2017 & 2018 seasons (didn't save any from my 2019 grow) and other members. Some from Genitix, Jedi...

internationalfish · Oct 1, 2020

Crawling back in here, tail between my legs, for another shot at this pepper thing. :oops: Last season I ended up... really preoccupied, let's say, and completely screwed up my grow. The outdoor plants were basically ignored, and the tent plants were in tiny starter pots until today, when they finally got brutally pruned and moved to one-gallon coir bags. Basically, all I've accomplished since February is identifying some -- not even all -- of the plants I started at the beginning of the year. Yikes. But here we are, and after cleaning out the tent and rearranging the lights, I have five sad-ass plants ready to work harder than they should have to so I can eat their babies. The guy in the middle is almost certainly either a...

OG ghost 2020 96 (6x16) 4. 7 pot primo 96 (6x16) 5. seasoning pepper 96 (6x16) 6. aji guyana 36 (6x6) 7. orange scorpion 36 (6x6) 8. p. dreadie 96 (6x16) 9. chocolate hab 204 (6x34) total: 1152 (192) The final numbers will be a little different due to some seeds not sprouting and me filling in those pots with extras of other varieties. The reason for the "6x" notation is I'm using 1020 trays with the 72 pot inserts to start them...

Hey Everyone, welcome to my 2021 Glog :onfire: I am late to the party but I will do my best to update with the progress I have. Quick backstory, this is my second season and first season in the ground. I moved to a new place at the end of January so I am a bit late to the party and got my seeds started on March 10th (the majority of them at least). I grew about 80 plants last year but they were in beds and buckets. This year I will be sharing with you roughly 600 peppers, 70 ish tomatoes, and other stuff along the way (We have planted tons of stuff so I will update all sorts of stuff but focus will be mainly on peppers). If you are interested in more of what I am growing then please let me know and I will share more of the rest. I...

Starting supplies have been received! :metal: The grow list remains in limbo. Waiting to see what goodies might arrive in the B Train before I call it done. For now, keeping busy getting 1020 trays and 3.5" nursery pots ready to go. Planning on starting chinenses in a month. Targeting in the neighborhood of 120-140 plants for plant out in 2021 ..... similar to the quantity that made it to plant out in 2020.
