So I've never done a grow log, but this is my third consecutive growing season (chiles and other veggies), and I'm not really sure how many overall.
It's becoming a Christmas tradition for me to start seeds after all the hubbub has died down. Usually the 26th or 27th. Probably will be both earlier and later this time 'round.
I've got a very basic germination setup that consists of two 6' 2x4 square frames and some cross bracing, plus plywood for the trays. Each 'rack' (there are two) can hold three 48" fluorescent rigs with one grow light and one 'sunlight' spectrum light. I'll post pictures when able.
This time, I've been relegated to the back office at work, having been banned from gardening activities inside my own home. It sounds...

Hey everyone. I've been doing this LED panel test for the last few weeks (still in progress). Even though these aren't peppers, I figured you might be interested in seeing how it progresses with the LED panels. I'm growing Red Robin tomatoes which is a very small dwarf variety. I'll post everything from my log so far. I created a box for them out of cardboard and mylar to keep the light from each panel contained.
Feb 4th:
Planted Red Robin cherry tomato seeds in Wonder Soil and put on heat mat.
Feb 11th:
Germination
Feb 12th: - Week 1
Transplanted into 8" pots

So on March 16th my new seed order arived and was planted, a late start for here in Germany but a start none the less.

Started my 2011 grow season early this year. This is my third year. Super-hots have been very difficult for me. This year I am attacking them on all cylinders. I live in coastal Southern California. I have a greenhouse filled with seedlings started in early December 2010 in starting soil as well as two hydroponic buckets. Most of my starts have been of Bhuts/Trinidads/and habaneros. Pictures to follow.
Ben :dance:
Well this will be my first post here. I found the site about a month ago because I got the sudden urge to grow my own tomatoes and peppers and decided that the only way to do it is to grow them from seed. So I went to the store and when in front of the seed display I saw some Cayenne seeds and I got this image in my head of me making my own Hot Sauce.
When I found this forum I got even more excited looking at all the past season's pictures from everybody here and I started to look at the sites selling seeds and I stop myself right there and took the decision to concentrate only on the Cayenne for this year.
I hope this log will help others like me starting this new venture. I will try and document what I will do right and also what I...
With the 2010 outdoor season coming to end (here's my 2010 grow log and here's my 2010 harvest compilation for those who just like pictures) it's time to kick off the 2011 grow. Trying something different this time...growing clones in dwc buckets over the winter from some of my best plants this year and then 4 - 6 weeks before plant out in 2011 taking clones from my clones and rooting them in dirt. I root them in the bucket on the right and after rooted each will get it's own bucket similar to the one on the left. Will grow all winter and if all goes well these 4 plants should contribute 10 - 20+ clones for my garden of 25 - 30 plants.
On the left is a bhut jolokia and on the right we have two giant bhut jolkias and a chocolate...
Hi all,
It's been a while so I thought I would kick off things with my tomato germination log.I am growing several other varieties this year some are not planted yet and some of them are on the way.As they are planted and germinate I will post here.This year should be interesting as I will have several new to me varieties some of which are stripped /Bi-color or green when ripe.When all is said and done I should have around 100 plants which will be the most I have ever had and as many as 40 varieties. I hope to sell some of my harvest this year and the rest use for fresh eating and canning.What is listed is my first planting of the year and should have some more to post about Saturday night.

So Last year I started on February 1st and it was a little early so this year I started on March 2nd. Yesterday, March 7th, I had my first seedling pop up... only 5 days of germination for a 7 Pod Douglah in the dirt, no paper towel methods or anything just seeds in the dirt, but I do use heat mats that have kept the soil around 80F. Today I also had a Yellow Trinidad Scorpion Cardi pop up as well (6 days).
Grow list this year is:
7 Pod Brain Strain -------------- Planted 03-2-2011
7 Pod Douglah ------------------- Planted 03-2-2011
7 Pod Jonah --------------------- Planted 03-2-2011
Trinidad Scorpion Yellow Cardi -- Planted 03-2-2011

For the 2011 season i'll focus more on super-hots and so-so-hots than other veggies. I'll be growing the following peppers:
Bhut Jolokia
Trinidad Scorpion
7pot
Yellow 7pot
Naga Morich
Red Habaneros
Thai Birds Eye Pepper
Super Chili
For veggies/herbs i'll be just growing:
Diva Eggplant
Carmen Bell Peppers
Neopolitan Basil
Mint
I'm just germinating peppers for now since those take longer to grow. Here's my seedling tray under lights. I also have some superhots seeds in wet paper towels/sandwich bags on a heating pad to keep the temps at 85 degrees. The seedling tray is also on the pad so it helps the seedlings grow.
Here's a paper towel setup.
can u see something interesting here?

Hi friends! Thought I would do the Grow Log thing this year.
Today (March 9, 2011) I whittled down my planting list from 15-16 packs to fit them into Burpee's 12x6 planting cells kit. I am going for a general mix of sweet, medium, and some hot peppers this year, since my wife and neighbors can't really take the blazin' habanero heat every day. Here is my line-up for 2011:
Bonda Ma Jaques
Aji Amarillo
Aji Cristal
Aji Habanero
Biker Billy jalapeno
Jalapeno M
Sandi (New Mexico Green)
Sahauro New Mexico Green)
Jimmy Nardello
Italian Roaster II
Caribbean Red
Blushing Beauty (bell pepper)
These are all sitting in coco-coir cubes in one 12x6 plastic tray, on a temperature mat set to 83 degrees, in the dark. When about half have...
Well, I was given some Tomato plants when I first moved into my house last year. They came from a very friendly neighbour that has been growing for years. I had, up to that point, never grown anything but ended up having a really sucsessful year producing well over 200 tomatoes. I honestly didnt think I would be that bothered but absolutely loved looking after them and seeing the fruits of my labour at the end of the year.
I had a chilli plant last year that a friend gave me. That ended up pretty large with loads of flowers but no fruit.
So this year we are going for it big time. We may have bitten off more than we can chew (for n00bs) but only time will tell.
This years list is:

Hi Guys,
I thought I would keep a log of my activities this year for reference next. Its my first time growing peppers or pretty much anything so any advice appreciated.
I planted 10 Cayenne as an experiment on the 16th of January to act as guinea pigs and because I couldnt wait. At fist only a couple sprouted but now this is up to 7 out of 10
Foolishly I thought only 2-3 out of ten cayennes would sprout in total. So I put 3 Hab or Scotch bonnet seeds in one cell when germinating the next batch. The Habeneros appeared after 4 days :shocked: and the Scotch bonnets took 6 days. But I now have nearly all cells with three seeds that germinated. I re-potted a couple of Cayenne guinea pigs yesterday and am wondering about the depth I...
No pics as of yet, but seeing as how the seeds I ordered a few days ago arrived and everything is ready, thought I'd get this started.
(big ups to Judy at pepperlover.com and Cappy)
Going to be hitting the store in a few minutes to pick up some more coir and small bathroom cups to start things. I'll be cramming as many of those cups into my heated minigreenhouse thing as I can.
What I'm starting:
Habanero:
Chocolate
Red Savina
Orange
Bhut Jolokia
Bhut Jolokia~Chocolate
Bhut Jolokia~Indian Carbon
Bih Jolokia
Dorset Naga

Hi everyone.
I decided it's time to say hello again as i've been away. I'm going to be starting up shortly and wanted to get something of a start at least on paper.
Goal: Flavor vs. Fire
I had a terrible season last year. Just awful! Going to try again this year with a newfound vigor. I want to not grow for heat, but for the subtle flavors of the hot peppers.
In the lead for selection:
Manzano and Rocoto and any other pubescens i can scrounge up. I think i have 3 varieties right now.
I'm thinking i'll stick with S. America and work from there.
I want some sweet peppers as well, so i'm looking to score some paprika varieties.
And of course, the strange and unusual are welcome.
Can anyone help out with the strange and...

I'm not growing anything new this year - just some old favorites. Jalapeno M, Trinidad Scorpion, Datils, Grenada Hots, Anaheims, 7 Pot, and Brandywine tomatoes.
I'm also trying to germinate some Harold St. Bart, but first go was unsuccessful and and I"m trying again.
Grenada Hots, Datil, 7 Pot, and TS had very good germination percentages. Datils are the same as I remember - very slow!

Hello all!
I'm kinda new to this forum and I also grow chili peppers just like you. I'm located in the philippines so peepers here live longer because we don't have winter here. I had started several varieties during the start of this year but unfortunately most of them died due to the dry spell that hit of country, only a handful survived. thank god that the dry spell is over and i just started planting last month all over again.. most of my seeds where sent to me except for the indigenous cultivars.
here is my list(not really that impressive compared to you chili masters):
siling labuyo (indigenous here)
siling haba (indigenous here)
siling lara (indigenous here)
siling bilog (indigenous here)
long slim cayenne

Hi everyone! And happy new year!
This is my 2nd year growing peppers, and after last years disaster due to lack of good weather i
decided i'd start an indoor hydro grow instead.
i dont have a lot of space to work with so i decided i'd only grow a few plants so these are the varieties i started with:
yellow 7pod
7pod jonah
trinidad scorpion morouga blend
dorset naga
fatali
these were all purchased from neil @ thehippyseedcompany.com and i'd recommend them to everyone!
he also sent me a dried bhut jolokia pod so i planted a couple of seeds from that too.
so i started 2 of each in root riot cubes on 27.9.2010 and most were up within a week
except for the jonah's and fatali which i abandoned after 3 weeks.
i kept these under a 105w cfl...
So far my grow season has been satisfying for me. I must say though, with out my overwinters, I would probably not be as happy as I am
My grow list goes a little like:
Douglah (Tooninoz)
Fiji Embers (Tooninoz)
Red Habanero (Market bought pods)
Big Reds (Market bought pods)
Yellow 7 Pot (Gasificada & THSC)
Bhut Jolokia (Ebay)
White Hab (Ebay)
Chocolate Hab (Ebay)
Orange Hab (Bunnings)
Morouga Red (Niel THSC)
Bonda Ma Jacques (THSC)

This is the official start to my grow log, and I'm starting the log off early by asking for some input. I'm about to order my seeds from peppermania and wanted to know what you guys think. Is there anything I should not bother with?
Goats Weed
Lemon Drop
Fatali
Pimento
Peruvian White Habanero
Chocolate Habanero
Brazilian Starfish
Cajamarca
and though it's no longer on the site the "garden of fire" with i think 3 different 7 pots and another superhot that I can't recall.
And to continue in the spirit of my grow log both of my overwintered plants seem to be doing well a bhut and a plain Habanero.
Hi,
I first tried growing hot pepper last year, in center of Belgium. Very interresting results and quite good crop, but I started to sow too late. I overwintered the best varieties with success, for now. Just had to get rid of aphids one time.
This year I modified a very small room of my house, for my sowings and seedlings :
(Coca-Cola for the scale :-)
The lights can be adjusted in height and the room can be warmed up to 30 °C.
On the walls : Mylar Diamond
( http://www.cultureindoor.com/rouleau-10-m-mylar-diamond-easy-grow-1-25m-x-1m.html )
Lights : T5 Superplant 216 watts Grow 6500K 120 cm x 35 cm
( http://www.cultureindoor.com/eclairage-lampes-kit/t5-superplant-48-96-216-432w/t5-superplant-216w-croissance-6500k.html )...
Ok, First organized grow this year, already started some plants, but I'm holding off on the rest cos' ive ran out of room inside and its far to cold to be even letting them thinkabout going outside yet. I also have some overwintered cayenne types from last season.
My plants this year shall be:
Trinidad Scorpion
Naga Morich
Bhut Jolokia Red
Bhut Jolokia Yellow
Bhut Jolokia Chocolate
Red 7 Pot/Pod
White Habanero
Scotch Bonnet
Ring of Fire
Jalapeño
So far I've started on my Scorps, the Morich and my first batch of scotch bonnets, I've got eight small scorps going strong but only one very sickly Naga morich (it got a roll of carpet dropped on it, all chilli growing should be done away from family members) Although I'm hopeful it will...
Hey yall. i'm back . Did you miss me? i havent been on the forums since july . Feels like forever !!! and I decided to start it up again. I'm bac at growing though i'm starting over from scratch. i just set some orange hab seeds and last year i though i would never grow another one of them again cuz i had so much.Now i'm groeing them again. I had an old aquarium and i set up a germinator. Temps dont drop very low so growing chillis in winter here is more than acceptable. Pics of my rig.
i germinated two seeds they got leggy under the fluros a bit cuz i kept cutting them off when i left in the morning so i set them out side. i have one going good now. I think i'll leave the light on in the day thank you.
i picked upa pack of scotch...
I been encouraged to post my progress. well, I have seedlings so I guess I'll start!
So, I know I have here somewhere when I started these- I guess its been a week or two?
I'll look it up
I was told to start my scorpions now- so here are my Trinidad scorpions that patrick sent me and Yellow Scorpions-CARDI from Cappy:
and first up- THE YELLOW!
as of 02.01.10 I had three seedlings, and this evening, 02.02.10 I have two more.
They are in a kritter keeper (with plastic wrap on top to holdin humidity) in a large aquarium in a cold room in a south window (but we aint been getting no sun) so they have a hermit crab heater under them and a full spectrum 40 watt above them and been staying between 80 -90 F, I think thats good? and...
I've needed to get this going so here goes. The following list was started Jan. 25. It is my first time trying hydro. Got it pieced together just in time to get my chinense varieties started. It's an ebb and flow setup in nursery trays placed end to end with heat mat, under 40w flouros which I later added a six position bath bar with cfl's to the wall behind my plants in the grow area which is 5' tall 6' wide and 2' deep. If my lumen math is correct for adult plants (3000 lpsf) would be 180,000 lumen s total and @ 2000 lpsf I would need 120,000 lumen s. That is seven more of the twenty dollar 6 pos bath bars. Two on the ceiling and 5 more on the wall. That is just insane which is sad because I think my wife already thinks I'm...
Well here are a few pics of my DWC grow at the moment. The seeds were sown on 17-18 Aug 2010. They are doing better than any other plants I have going at the moment. The roots are going nuts in most of these buckets but some barely have any roots at all. There will be more pics to come tomorrow when my camera's batteries are charged.
This is the biggest of them all, it's a Bhut x Giant White Hab and it stands 16-17 inches tall. Comes courtesy of a VERY generous member down in Victoria.
These pictures don't do the amount of buds any justice bud he we go.
This is not the best shot but will get more tomorow.
Some of these pics aren't focused very well but others are quite good.
I like this one, it was unintentional but i got almost...
ya, I know what you thinking; "Oh my god thats to soon", but last year I plantet my hab's way to late in the season (was my first season ever) and they flately refused to grow. I was forced to buy grown plants to get any hab's at all :oops:
So this year I have decided to start the season already now, and these where just plantet:
Amazon Chile Roma x 10
scotch bonnet x 10
mustard habanero x 8
orange habanero x 8
devils tongue x 10
congo black x 10
Later, in januray these will be plantet (list might change):

cheers!
This whole forum has inspired me to attempt to grow a few peppers. After receiving some seeds from another forum member, I decided to give it a go myself. The original plan was to have a local farmer grow them for me, but I'd feel real bad if they did a ton of work all season and they only produced a few pounds of peppers.
SO~ Here we go!
The seeds I received are-
Red Savina habanero
bhut jolokia
trinidad scorpion
7 pot- homegrown
7 pot- other
I printed out the growing instructions from Peppermania to have something to work with, bought a couple 72-cell starting trays, some germination mix, recruited SalsaNut0.5 to help, and set to work.
We set the seeds to soak in warm bleach water, filled the trays with dry germination mix...
Hey there guys! I know all my grow logs that I had started well, I never really kept up with them or I couldn't get the pics to upload. But this time I'm going to list all the varieties I got, and if you guys could, help me pick out some to grow...
I'm kind of suprised people respond onto my thread that I've posted, seeing as how I'm new and never posted anything significant enough to be good enough for uhh, I do not know the word but yup.
Anyways, here's my Varieties, some it tells me what kind they are like the Chineses or Annuum or something, but some don't unfortunately. Oh one question is the Naga Jolokia PC-1 same as the Bhut Jolokia or are they completely different?
Sugar Banana (rainbow.com)
Big Chile (why don't they make a...
Decided this would be a fun way to keep records of what I thought of particular chiles. Unfortunately I do not have video capability so it won't be as fun but hopefully I will be able to take pictures of what I'm eating once my camera is charged again at least.
So here's my first, it's the Chocolate Bhut Jolokia.
Cut in half and removed seeds, ate one half. Yeah I'm a pussy and won't do the whole thing. But half is better than a sliver. :cool:
Good aroma, not very fruity, nutty though with a faint smokiness.
Nice flavor at onset, mostly nutty without much fruitiness as smell would suggest.
Heat onset was quite delayed, I thought I had escaped it for a second, but not at all!
A minute in and I am burning horribly. Hiccups, eyes...
I've been away for a while. Class and work have been hectic...
Anyway, I bought plants from http://www.chileplants.com/
When I get them I'll post pics.
