Well I have decided to start a grow log this season. Nothing too exciting to post yet. Started to germinate on the 6th and have a ton of work to do on the hill side garden. Okay so due not wanting to spend extra money on a heating pad I have the following set up for germination: Jiffy mini green house on top of my dehydrator on low. Keeps it at the right temp: The location of the hill side garden, I figured the hill will work fine because it will not pool up with all the excessive water we get here in Wa: decided to break ground and see what I had to work with in terms of soil. To my dismay the dark soil was something they used to cover nothing but clay and rocks. And if your wondering what is going on with the stakes on the...

Ok. Well I started some Bhut Jolokia and Trinidad Scorpions a few weeks ago and have received tremendous help on this site and will probably be picking peoples brains all season. I will try to not be a bother ;). People have been very helpful here, and by some trial and error on my part and learning from all of the seasoned veterans here, hopefully I will have some success right of the bat. Below is a pic of my setup. I'm just using some T12 shop lights I had with one cool and one warmer bulb in each. I just added some reflective material that came in an insulated box at work and it brought the temp up to about 77. It was only about 65, which I have found may have been contributing to some slow growth. I just have a cheapo thermometer...

ASFx · Jan 14, 2011

I live in Las Vegas, and for a long time i've been wanting to try growing some full size vegetables in my house over the winter. I do have a garden in my back yard with four 4'x8' raised beds, but it can get down to 20 degrees here (with snow) in December and January. So during the cold season, growing Summer veggies like peppers, tomatoes, and basil indoors during the winter is the only option for me. Since I had limited space in my house, I figured i'd pull out the wire shelving in one of my 2'x6' closets and hang an 8 tube fluorescent light in there (Quantum BadBoy T5). I screwed two hooks into the ceiling and hung it using two ropes with ratchets at the bottom so I can easily move the light up and down as needed. This closet was...

mmcdermott1 · Feb 20, 2011

Well here is my grow list and status. I had a smaller home built greenhouse but I am quickly running out of room so I built a 8' long x 2' deep x 4' high one last night. Used reflective 4x8 sheet in back and bottom/sides/top are some r13 insulation that is suppose to have 98% reflectivity. We shall see. As of now, I have 445 seeds planted and/or purchased and 147 germinated seeds. Other than the 2010 Jalapeno, all seeds with a "0" germination have not been planted yet and/or were just planted in the past few day. My favorite new supplier is Trade Winds Fruit. Their seeds are germinating at an unbelievable rate. My current list is....

midwestchilehead · Apr 13, 2011

I know I'm late into the game, but with the encouragement of others, I decided to document for posterity my 2011 efforts. I don't have any pics of my annuum seedlings yet (which are still in the basement), but here are a few others that finally got to go outside and catch some rays. First my "greenhouse." After seeing the nice greenhouses and hoop houses some of you have, my $30.00 Harbor Freight greenhouse seems tiny and cheap in comparison, but it gets the job done. Mostly chinenses in there now, doing the slow hardening off thing, and a few plants my wife bought last weekend and stuck in there. Next is my double-decker wagon from grower's supply, loaded with a couple of flats of baby chinenses and all the overwinters that...

Eephus Man · Dec 19, 2010

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.

Well I started some seed in Febuary. But only ended up with three plants germanating. 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. Theres alot of new varities of peppers since I was first growing (about 10 years ago) I'm hoping to have a decent season this first year restarting with peppers. Heres a short list of the varities I'm starting. 7 POD AJI AMARILLO (PI 152217) AJI CRISTAL (PI 281320) ANCHO POBLANO BHUT JOLOKIA (BIH JOLOKIA) BLACK HUNGARIAN BLACK SCORPION TONGUE BOLIVIAN RAINBOW FATALII HABANERO CARIBBEAN RED HABANERO RED JALAPENO ROCOTO COSTA RICAN RED (ROJO) TRINIDAD SCORPION RED SCOTCH BONNET TIRINIDAD YELLOW TURBO PUBE (PI 585267) The plants...

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:

Drizzt · Mar 16, 2011

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...

ThePepperGrowingMan · Oct 10, 2010

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...

klorentz · Mar 19, 2011

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 Trinidad Scorpion Red ----------- Planted 03-2-2011 Caribbean Red Habanero ---------- Planted...

PepperJam · Jan 28, 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? and i unwrap the diaper: seed is...

mega · Mar 11, 2011

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...

Jody · Jan 28, 2011

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: Tomatoes - Gardeners Delight (very sweet)...

Jody · Feb 3, 2011

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...

Skydiver · Jan 14, 2011

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 7 Pod Barrackpore 7 Pod Brain Strain Douglah Trinidad Scorpion. Going to go heavy on the brown/chocolate varieties this year between the Douglah and the choccy bhut and the choccy hab. Been dreaming of a brown...

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! My simple setup and pictures.

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 golden 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...

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.

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.

capsidadburn · Feb 14, 2010

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...

jolokia_jas · Nov 12, 2010

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...
