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.
Well guys, I know I have started a lot of topics and none of them really ever gotten anywhere but well, I thought I'd have a grow log of my glow in the dark pepper and some other plants that I'm going to be growing through out the year, and it's all indoors unfortunately, unless during the winter here and its not too cold out I might put some of my plants outside for them to try to enjoy the sun haha. But, there will be many pics to come! The camera that I'm using is a Nikon D-5000, pictures are really good with that beast of a camera haha :D
Hey there guys! since some people wanted me to let them know about this plant I thought that I'd make a grow log about it and here it is! :D Although I have never gotten around to planting them or trying to germ then but just a few minutes ago I had plopped them in some water and now they're going to be soaking and sitting in it 'till the sprout. I know some of you guys say thats not necessary to do that, but the last time I soaked all my pepper seeds they all had 100% germ rate, they prolly would've had 100% anways but, oh well...
And in my other grow log I think I'm going to quit posting in that one and focus all my time into this one... Well hope you guys enjoy it! I just hope this plant does glow in the dark, becuase that would...
Hey there, I'm going to start grow log about what I'm growing so far. Unfortunately, its going to be a indoor grow. Temps outside have only been above 40 F, and thats warm for us haha.
What I have going so far right now is:
1 x Black Pearl Pepper (I'm going to start more soon)
Lots of Bell Peppers, red, orange, green, yellow
2 x Georgia Flame
2 or 4 x Habanero Pepper
2 x Jalapeno
2 x Marble
Non Pepper
2 x Strawberry Fragissimo
24 x Mugo Pine
Blooming Idiot
Spider Plants
Tulip
Cactus from seed
Tobacco Rustica
Tobacco Black Mammoth i think
I would upload some pics but can some one please tell me how to upload some pictures, if some one can tell me how I would upload some pics, the camera I'm using a D 5000 Nikon...
So here it goes. I'm a bit late to post and I don't have as many good pictures as I wish I did. On top of that, my garden is nothing compared to what many of you guys are working with. I don't have a backyard, or even a balcony. I've planned out a Fire Escape Garden for this season, while hoping that next year, I'll be at an apartment with a backyard (not as hard as it sounds, noting I live in Brooklyn).
I'm also very late to the seed-starting party. I sowed my seeds at the beginning of the month; but took care to choose varieties known for setting fruit out early (Tomato's are Early Wonder and New Big Dwarf, and the basils should be ready by the end of next month.).
My super long list of varieties being grown in my Fire Escape...
Howdy!
Haven't been on the forum for ages, mostly due to a longer break from chili growing. After having to tear down the grow room for the second time due to insects (trips), I just needed som distance from the hobby. Yesterday, I felt the distance was right :) The growing area was sprayed down heavily with anti-bug spray (pyrethrine++), the smallest pots were chlorinated, and I went through my seed collection to find some suitable species to grow this autumn. Out of about 25+ different choices, I ended up with the following:
Top four: Super Chile, Hot Lemon, Pimenta Da Neyde, Yellow Burkina
Bottom four: Ring of Fire, Fatalii, Bird's Eye Baby, Stipe (baccatum)
Each bag contains two seeds, and at some point in time I will cull away...
Well its been a long time since I last posted on the forum due to being very busy.
I hope all is well with everyone, and that you had a very happy new year!
Here are some pics of what I'm currently growing.
My Yellow Scotch Bonnets that are planted in ground are loaded and continue to be heavy producers.
Some Chocolate Habs
What's up all?! I'm pretty excited about this years grow season as it's gonna be my first year that I'm actually able to put most if not all my plants in the ground! I put in a 15'x25' garden this year and it's pretty much gonna be dedicated to just peppers and a few tomato varieties. Got a late start getting my seeds germinated this year. They've only been up for about a month now but it looks like they'll be ready for plant out in a few weeks. Thanks to all who hooked me up with seeds for this season after my wonderful ex tossed what seeds I did have out lol. I'm not growing anything too exotic this year but I'll have a pretty good variety:
Bhut Jolokia
7 Pod
Trinidad Scorpion
Dorset Naga
Chocolate Habanero
Fatalii
Red Savina...
I was away for 2 weeks and when i got back i was surprised to see how much they grew! I left them in the care of my brother who didnt do as good a job as i had hoped but with a little care they should bounce back to their former selves! they're in 1.5 gallon pots with peat, coco coir, and i feed them hen fertilizers once a month. Enjoy!
Here's a list of what I have:
White Peruvian Habanero
Chocolate Habanero
Reb Habanero
Orange Habanero
Mustard Habanero
Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnet
Orange Scotch Bonnet
Fatali
Bhut Jolokia
Dorset Naga
Yellow Cayenne
Red Cayenne
Jalapenos
De Arbol
unknown F1 hybrid
+ a couple of weird hybrids
White Peruvian Habanero (in hydro bucket, no air pump, no ph adjustment, same nutrient solution for well over...
well lets get the bad news out of the way.
here's what dident germinate. how sad.
video of what germinated when i last checked on them at grandma's (she has a greenhouse so i got her to try and germinate them for me)
watch in 720 or higher.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hOnRV3owdk&fmt=22
and this is what they look like now.
and the newsest sproutling is my congo black.
oh and the douglah is aparently still alive i just couldent find it
oh yea and my indoor serano. its just starting to pod up..... yes it need to be pruned badly.
Well, I'm finally at a place where I feel I've made some real progress. Due to Thompson-Morgan's mis-labeling annums seeds as Habanero's a friend and I lost 3+ months growing annums we thought were chinense. Okay here are some pictures;
The potting mix is identical for all 5 plants, but the 2nd Costa Red didn't get egg shells under it like the other 4. I top dressed the egg shells for that one.
So Trinicoolieboy was generous enough to send a bunch of seeds to a bunch of folks here and there around the world. Thought it would be interesting to have another one source/ world wide multi grower thread in the spirit of the Nova's Naga thread. Didn't see one going yet, and figured why not?
Just planted the seeds I received a bit ago. Blank peat pellet shots aren't that exciting, but you gotta start somewhere, right? So get planting!!!
Hope it's cool to start 'er up and get the ball rolling on this. Kinda just did it without any clearance and will defer to the source! Pretty excited to get some seeds direct from Trinidad though, so couldn't help it! Many thanks Trinicoolieboy!
I am a new guy to the site and the whole pepper growing thing, or growing at all for that matter. I know I am late but I am going to pick up where I can and kind of start a grow log. I have learned so much from everyones grow logs on here! I figured I'd start my own and get help when needed or suggested.. I very proud of my plants since Im new to this lol, so I hope I'll have a lot of pics to post.
Here is my list this year (for a first timer I think I got carried away, but live and learn!)
Tabasco Chili
Red Bell
Green Bell
Jalepeno
Habenero
Pepperonchini
Gypsy
Nu Mex Big Jim
Trinadad Scorpion
Belgium Carrot
Chocolate Bhut Jolokia
Hot Cherry Pepper
As you can see in the pictures I am growing them in a multitude of ways... Earthbox...
Hey All!
This is my first grow log. I started growing peppers last year, when my wife picked up a few from the local feed store. I immediately fell in love with growing and caring for my pepper plants. So, this year, I decided to grow some from seeds, and see how well they do. A late start, I know. The reason for that is because I had decided not to do it, but just couldn't stand not doing it (and visiting this forum certainly contributed to making me want to do it)...so, a month late, maybe 2, but I have planted a lot of pepper seeds...mostly Annuum, but a couple Chinense, See below for my complete grow list of whats planted and what is yet to be planted. I have planted 108 peat pods with 6 of each variety. Ill be giving some of these...
Well i decided to create separate grow log for tomatoes since i collected so many varieties. i'm actuallt little short on space so i will have to cut back on something and put them away untill next year. any ideas what varienty isn't worth growing so much?

Should be a good year.
Best of luck to everyone else! ;)
Hi everyone,
Have decided (been inspired by everyone else, really) to keep a thread here about my attempt to grow plants this year. Most of the weird, off-topic stuff I normally babble about I'll confine to my blog, but I'll share the photos and interesting capsicum related anecdotes here as well.
I managed to overwinter (of sorts. I'd call it more a random collection of stems with little green shoots still growing on them) some plants from last year, mostly the ones at the office. Among them were an Orange Habanero, a Chocolate Habanero, a Caribbean Red Habanero, a Naga Morich and a Rocoto Rojo. There was also a Datil* I overwintered at home (which I started really late last spring).
To my surprise upon returning from X-mas break...
I will be growing naga morich,trinidad scorpion,and tabasco peppers, along with a couple skullcap lateriflora seeds.
I just started them on the first of June from seed. I will be using General hydroponics Floranova grow and bloom. I also have a few choice additives I will be adding to see if it will add an extra punch to the heat.
Growing inside a secret jardin DR80 fully equipped with a 400 watt hps with cooltube reflector and exhaust fan. Here are a few pictures. Sorry about the quality of the pictures but they were taken with my cell phone. I have a usb cable en route to me for my camera so better pics will be coming soon.
Please feel free to drop in and offer any advise,criticism (Good or Bad) Any and all comments are welcome...
i started to sow my new seeds from Neil of thehippyseeds just about a couple of days ago, got 4 types, bhut jolokia, naga morich, choco hab, and red savina.
place all 4 inside a container to maintain humidity, with the temperature here in philippines, i think no need for heating up, like what my other countrymen who have experience growing peppers. always follow their advice. will post pics as soon as my pepper have germinated. :)
So i've begun my 2010 and probably into 2011 plant grow and I will be over wintering them to grow again next summer.
I'm using an aerogarden ag7 pro200 and the stock nutrient tabs until I run out of them.
Got my letter of seeds from neil @ HSC today and installed/planted them into my aerogarden deck. Ill be growing the following:
Fatali's
Bonda Ma Jacques
2x Yellow 7's
Trinidad scorpions
Chocolate habanero
and lazienfat is sending me some scotch bonnets. :-D those will be added later. Thanks a lot!
If anyone wants to send me another variety I'd greatly appreciate it! I'll remove one of the yellow 7's and plant it in soil to compare its growth with the yellow 7 in the aerogarden.
Heres a video of the setup ive got going...
Well, I figured I should probably begin an online growlog. I have been keeping a personal grow log in MS Word but it's time to share my adventure with those of you that have helped make it an easier task.
I would also like to thank those of you that have been so keen to answer questions and help out someone who is trying this for the first year! I planted my first seeds on 13 Mar 2010. Here are a few photos I have taken since then:
ok so i ended up planting 3 seeds into 95 jiffy pellets tonight, labled and under lights with a heat pad. i still need a timer but since its just the germinating stage i should be ok for a few days.
so here is the "official grow list"
jalepeno
serrano
cayenne
lemon drop
scotch bonnet
roccoto
fatalli
thai hot
bhut jolokia
big orange(dont have the actualy name yet)

but anyway, il keep you all updated on my plant progression. thanks for looking
I know some of yall will think I am really really late. I like to think I am really really early! On the 19th I started sevral seeds in peat pellets I had sitting around the house. I started Trinidad Scorpion, Fatalii, Trinidad Douglah, and Bhut Jolokia. Then on the 21st or 22nd I started Red 7 Pod (Sourced from Cmpman1974) and Bulgarian Carrot in moist coffee filters in bags all on a heating mat in the kitchen. Within 3 days one of the Bulgarian Carrot seeds in the coffee filter buttoned and last night I put it in a plastic drinking cup with 1 part compost, 1 part pine bark fines and 1 part vermiculite. Due to a small accident on my part (they call me grace ya know) the seed may have gotten buried a little deeper than the 1/4 inch...
I received my seeds and couldn't wait to get started for the 2010 growing season. I started 2 trays of 50 seeds, and I also have a bunch of plants I started from seed in Aug & Sept. The plants I started at the end of the summer were more of a test, as I was trying out a few new seed suppliers. Here is what I'm growing, now in alphabetical order and includes the seeds I ordered from The Hippy Seed Company.

Did certain posts get deleted during the forum upgrade? I was going to update my 2010 grow log but can't find it anywhere...even clicking the link in my signature just brings me to the main forum.
I have a very crude grow box made out of two saw horses, two 24" florecent and one 48" florecent. I have a blanket draped over the saw horses to hold in heat. It stays about 85*F when the lights are on. I will be adding another 48" soon.
I currently have 52 cells, 40 pepper and 12 tomato. Plus, I have a Bishops Crown and a Datil that I kept from last year.
All I have started is:
White Habs
Bishops Crown
Spicy Mustard Habs
Scotch Bonnet
Bolivian Rainbow
Long Red Cayenne
Hot Banana
Bhut Jolokia

Hey guys. Me again. Im going to try starting up a video log similar to Neil's and some others I have seen. (hope I do as good as Neil!!! Takes it like a champ.) I have a few varieties growin now and will be eating the first fully ripe one off of each plant for all to see, and possibly laugh at!! Im sure youll all enjoy. To the point now, does anybody have any fresh pods already that is willing to send a few for the trials? Ill cover shipping or trade for seed or products I have available. Not going to advertise here, but check out the industry announcements for more info on that. Im going to try to compile a video journal of me eating every pepper I can get my hands on from bell to bhut. If anybody has a special request or would like to...
Hello everybody!
First off, I'd like to say a biggggg thank you to everyone who has traded seeds with me recently, and an even bigger thanks to those who have been generous enough to share with me seeds I haven't yet had.
