Here is the start of a more than likely a rarely updated grow log of my attempt to grow a bunch of peppers. I don’t know really anything about growing peppers (having never grown more than a ancho plant) and get fairly busy with other projects, so at times the plants get neglected. I started seeds back in the start of February and have continued to plant more and more seeds but finally have stopped myself. The nights are still cold (was 22 last night) here so I am waiting for a while longer to even leave them in my hoop house at night. They are growing in a room in my basement under a 400 watt HID light. I have good air circulation and flow in the grow room but am slowly running out of room as the plants grow. Hopefully soon...

HabaneroHead · Apr 10, 2011

Hi Everyone, I've been reading this forum since 3 months, and all I can say is: guys, You are amazing!!! I saw AJ's unbelievable harvests, and all the crazy setups you were made, and they inspired me to start my own growing season. So let me thank you all the knowledge you put together in this forum, and the patience of my girlfriend, who lets me play with these evil plants in our 34 square meters flat. :rofl: I always was a chili fan, but this is the very first year I am trying to grow them. It started with a pack of Red Habanero, in February, which I purchased in a local store in Budapest, which is selling exotic (!) foods. Yes...exotic, but I have to add, that I am living in Hungary, and these kind of staff is quite rare here. It...

How is everyone today? A few of my seed have sprouted for my 2010 season so I thought i'd post a couple of pics. Nothing too flash at this stage but will be sure to keep updating as they progress. Hopefully I will end up with around 50 or so plants (including ones in the groung already and a few Bird's eyes and Orange Habs), however I was going through Timmies thread the other day and I may just regret that many plants. So here is the list ATM Seeds in: 4 x Trini Scorp, 4 x 7 Pot, 4 x 7 Pot "Jonah", 4 x Yellow 7 Pot, 4 x Naga Morich, 4 x Dorset Naga, 4 x Bih Jolokia, 4 x Bhut Jolokia and 4 x Choc Bhut. I'm trialling the aspirin mix on one tray while the other will be getting "normal" nutes. This is Tray #1 (no aspirin) planted 29 Apr...

Yaargh! · Oct 19, 2010

Alright, here's my go at growing a Trinidad Scorpion Morouga and a 7pod SR in 5gal DWC "bubbler" buckets. I started the seeds in rockwool and transplanted into 5gal buckets with leftover STG filler. I am using foxfarm "growbig" as a growth nutrient and will switch to the flowering nutrient whenever. The plants are under a 250w HPS lamp. I recently topped the plants out of curiosity and will upgrade to a darkroom for higher lamp placement and to cut down the glow from the lamp on my tv... Here is where they are at as of now.

Hi, I'm Michael, I live in Penang, Malaysia. This is my grow log. Everything started with a pepper plant I bought. I don't know much about it, except that it's a chinense from what people told me. Seeing as how that plant has been growing well, I went out and bought a packet of birds eye chilli or cili padi as they call it here. Not knowing any better, I dumped all the contents out into the soil. Well, needless to say, I have alot of small plants right now with true leaves. I have also managed to germinate and sprout some seeds of the unknown Chinense. Overview of my container garden Cili Padi/bird's eye chilli on 13th June Transplanted Cili Padi on 15th June Undetermined Chinense 15th June [has been with me for a month, bought...

BigRob300 · Aug 2, 2011

Hi there, I went against my better judgement and purchased my seeds from ebay. For around $13 shipped I got 20 Bhut Jalokia Seeds, 20 Trinidad Scorpions and he threw in 10 Tasmanian Reds for free. I started them in Sow-N-Grow Peet Pellets and transplanted them outside after 6 weeks. And so far am very satisfied, except I'm still not sure these are the correct peppers. Ive never grown any of these before and my pods, so far, dont seem to look like anyone else's Ive seen. The Jalokias are a very pale yellow, nearly white and the scorps are very round and growing upside down (see pic)... Anyway heres a look, tell me what you think... After 2 weeks!!! Bhut Jalokia?? Scorps?? Tasmanian Reds. Love the color on these!

Hey guys, I finally decided to start my 2011 grow log. First things first, the list: Fatalii Cayenne Jalapeno Hot Lemon Rocoto Red Black Pearl Pimenta de Neyde Chocolate Habanero Italian Long Pepper Trinidad Scorpion Trinidad Scorpion CARDI Trinidad Scorpion Douglah Piri-Piri Naga Morich 7 Pod Brain Strain White Bullet Habanero - been germinating for 4 weeks, so far nothing happened. I know its not much but its already more than I can manage with the limited space I have available. My goal is to have a little bit of everything in the least amount of plants possible. Notice the heat range that goes from the mild Hot Lemon to super hots like Naga Morich or Brain Strain or Douglah. Pod colors range from Yellow to Red...

crazy8 · Jul 24, 2011

Well I have already put my plans together (after 4 drafts) for next years gardens. As far as the peppers go I have 88 plants in the plans. But I am thinking to myself that as awesome as that would be, Im not so sure I have my spacing correct. I also have designed the gardens around a few things, pickling, hot sauces, and salsa's. So here is the list of peppers I am wanting to grow and their quantities. Cayenne (24) Mucho Nacho Jalapeno (10) Orange Habanero (10) Birds Eye (10) Orange Bell (5) Naga Morich (5) Red Savina (10) Brain Strain (5) Sweet Banana (5) Orange Manzano (4) (figured I'd try it out) So how far apart should I be spacing these different varieties? Since space might be limited unless I increase the size of my garden...

updated pics at bottom! 7/5/11 Hey all I have had a few plants going for a month or so and thought I would share some progress...my varieties are very basic but I am excited for the results, and excited to try some exotics next time. anyhow heres the pics Early Jalapeno Cayenne Habanero(no peppers yet) Sweet Banana Bell And my mystery pepper (posted it up and got a 100 diff possible types) And where they started (the ones that still fit are in here) I'm runnin 12 hours on 12 hours off for a light cycle to try and keep the ones in the tent small. I greatly appreciate any input to get better veggies and enjoy reading everyones grow logs. Happy Growing everyone!

Merkinz · Jul 18, 2011

Hey hey! So it all starts now for me :) I put my seeds in the dirt on the weekend despite the freezing temperatures down here and the snow on the surrounding mountains! This is the first year I'm growing seriously so I'm quite excited. This is what I'm growing this year: • Habanero Pumpkin • Trinidad Perfume • Trinidad Scorpion • Trinidad 7 Pot (Red & Yellow) • Paper Lantern • Fatalii (Red & Yellow) • Jalapeno • Tabasco • Rocoto But out of all those plants Most of my plants will be Jalapenos (I can't get enough of them raw in salads, salsas, stuffed etc.) Tobascos (I hear it makes the best powder which I want alot of, and I also want a heap for sauce) and Trinidad Perfume (I hear this is one tasty little fruit!). So ... whats a...

Hey, so I decided to get my line wet and grow some peppers this year. Last year I started super late and got 5 jalapenos and about 5 bird's eye so I wanted to get a jump on things and I placed an order with Cross Country Nurseries for 12 plants. I'm planting... 3 - 7 Pots 3 - Trinidad Scorpion 2 - Naga Morich 1 - Red Bhut Jolokia 1- Yellow Bhut Jolokia 1 - Chocolate Bhut Jolokia 1 - Red Savina Received them exactly a week ago and have started them outside and in my make-shift green house while the temps are still a little cooler... Now onto the pics! Here is the mini green house that keeps them out of the rain we have been having and keeps them warm at night And here are my babies. Let me know what you guys think. Healthy...

Hello guys, i've been reading about everyones growing for the past few months, and finally thought i'd pipe in :) Got the gardening bug a couple of years ago, tested with some strawberries etc to see if i could keep them alive and have been doing it ever since, i've now moved on to chillis this year, last year i germinated some Bhuts with the intention of really seeing whether the enviroment i live in (country/City-english weather)was actually very conducive to them growing. It did work, and unfortunately they DID die over winter....but nevertheless i am at it again! I germinated approximately 12 Purple Tiger seeds (capsicum annum variety) in November last year, and overwintered them, they all germinated successfully and after giving...

lazienfat · Jan 9, 2011

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...

jessxcr · Feb 13, 2011

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.
