SF 2020/2021 Season
After a big failure last year (I killed my plants with excess neem oil), I have started a new grow. I'm growing in pure Coco coir (a few plants have some perlite mixed in because I ran out of coco). A lot of tips and tricks came from blisters grow logs. I've finally found a setup that works for me. Here are some of the strains I'm growing. Trinidad X strain variant Devil's brains Brain stinger Peach ghost Jami Coyote Zan white Chocolate fatalii Yellow fatalii SB7J Moruglah Bahamian goat Purple ufo Chocolate bhutlah SM Carolina reaper 7pot brain strain yellow 7pot nebru Yellow nagabrains Yellow scotch brains Chocolate Naga brains X reaper Trinidad moruga scorpion yellow Tasmanian habanero Pink Tiger x Peach Bhut Big black mama...
Lespaulde's 2020
Good day to all my fellow pepperheads out there. Given that 2020 is well underway, I figured it's time to get my new glog going. I'm hoping this year's will be full of delicious peppers, learning moments, new things to try out and last but not least, a lot of fun growing these tasty little devils together with the awesome community that makes THP the mecca it is.   I'm almost exclusively growing new varieties this year, which is not due to the fact that I didn't like last year's peppers, but rather taking the opportunity to create the illusion of making a dent in trying the many cultivars that have found their way onto my bucket list. I've sourced seeds from various places including Semillas and South Lincs Chili boys, and am forever...
Getting to the point where I will start seedlings for 2020.  Still finalizing seed lists.  I need to buy some new lights this year.    I have brought inside the following plants that I grew in containers with plans to overwinter:   Amarillear 7 Pot Bubblegum White Aji Charapita Bhut Jolokia Red Bhut Jolokia White W Strain Bonda Mahala F4 CAP 691 Mini Red Rocoto x2 Riesen Rocoto Rocoto Yellow   The Aji Charapita was not happy and quickly perished.  The other plants are doing well, but I seem to have gotten a bit of an aphid infestation.  My plan is to take the plants out of the containers, recycle the old soil into my garden beds, wash the plants off and douse in Insecticidal soap, trim root ball if needed, trim plants if needed and...
The last summer of my 30's: Spice and herbs on the balcony
39 is a multiple of 13, and that makes it cool.   That very important point out of the way, I've actually started planting for the season, so I figured I might as well start migrating to a new thread. How is it that I've gone through three glogs here already? I feel far internet-older than I should.   Rather than leading with the full plan, which I've already beaten to death in the winter thread, here are the first victims.     Yep! Not peppers. I'm going to try some companion plants. After some wicked aphid and stink bug infestations made my life less pleasant last year, I figure not only could this help keep them out, it wouldn't be bad to have some herbs. They're at least as stupidly expensive to buy in grocery stores here as they...

TyNW 2020 grow
Hi all, This is my first glog here, I just joined the forums, so please allow me to catch you all up- I started seeds in a greenhouse in late January-early feb. i plant ~5 seeds per 4in pot, load up trays with pots on heat mats under lights in greenhouse. Usually Ill lay a sheet of clear plastic over the soil surface to keep in humidity until I see sprouts. I had lots of varieties, but most seeds were old, and I think I was using old recycled soil too... so I had pretty bad germ rates. What did sprout has done excellent. We have: 3x Aji criolla sella 5x Aji dulce #6 18x Aji Inca red drop 2x guajillo 5x Aji pilange 8x chilhuacle negro 2x mboga So 43 plants Plus a few more, either overwintered from last year, or late starts. But lets...
Walchit 2020
Tagged most of what I'm growing. Plus 1 type of sweet pepper we call the Goat D, a crossed version of primavera jalapeno,shishito,and Purple Thunder. Need to put everything up to 1 gallon pots. Only using 1 light so far. I have 3 each of the 15 types(some duplicates from different sources)and some backups. pic upload
So I got a late start this past summer and didn't get my Ghost planted until late May. The place I was living didn't have a yard, so it was potted and didn't get much light on the patio. It didn't start flowering until I moved in august and it started getting more sun, and then we had our first snow a couple days ago, So I decided I'm over wintering it. I've never done this before so I was hoping for some advice. I built a green-house outside it can spend some time in, I've got a couple of big windows it can sit by, and my roommate has a grow light that I'll be able to start using a few months from now.   ps, I'm getting error 406 when I try to attach a photo.
Wicked Mike Rides Again
Hello, my fellow chileheads! Hope youre all doing well (or at least, the best you can under the circumstances). Finances/real life forced me to abandon Wicked Mikes several years ago. Did a stint as grower of herbs and vegetables for the company that supplies the Home Depot stores under the Vigoro tag before finally landing at a boutique plant nursery specializing in oddities. I finally really came into my own on the plant thing, branching out into all kinds of ornamentals and even aquatic plants. Ill be posting more on the peppers going forward, but for the moment, heres a glimpse of what Ive been up to:
So this is it folks, I've recovered my password and bought 10 seedlings today from Jukka "Fatalii" Kilpinen. Didn't start any of my own seeds due to laziness, though I still might start some to sell. Pubescens -------------- 3 x Rocoto Marlene 2 x Big Brown 1 x Mini Rocoto 1 x Costa Rica Annuum --------------- 1 x Jalapeno Early Baccatum ------------------ 1 x Lemon Drop Chinense ------------------- 1 x Fatalii Photos coming tomorrow when I clean the junk out of my sauna and establish the grow room again.
About 3 weeks late getting started this year, but I doubt it will make much difference.   Getting away from doing mostly super-hots and going with more 'edible' varieties.   2020 GROW BELLS CALIFORNIA WONDER GREAT STUFF HONEY CRISP BIG DIPPER RED MERCURY ORANGE (SUPERMARKET BELL PEPPER)   JALAPENOS JALAPENO EARLY BIKER BILLY JALAPENO M BIG GUY   CAYENNE JOES LONG ECUADORAN HOT LEMON   HOTS   SCOTCH BONNET SCOTCH BRAIN SCOTCH BRAIN FL CROSS GNARLY CHOCOLATE BHUT SUPER BHUT (JW) STAR SCREAM LITTLE BASTARD PEACH GHOST JAMI CPR (FROM LAST YEARS PODS) RED PRIMO (FROM LAST YEARS PODS)   I plan on doing lacto-ferment on a lot of Jalapenos, and also a few quarts of Scotch Brains/Scotch Bonnets.   Anyway, pics will follow.   Good luck and happy...

Hello everyone, Hope that everyone is doing good! I wanted to start this grow log a month ago but been busy. I forgot to save my early on photos from seed start but oh well here is what I did save up to now. I will be doing things different this year. Last season I went organic route for growing and enjoyed the process however it was a lot of learning. Also last season I went with drip irrigation and built out my own set up which was interesting to learn the durations and how often was the best to water. At the end of the season I had it down. I also used 7gallon fabric pots. Soo this season I will be skipping the drip irrigation, the fabric pots( well maybe only use 4or5) I will be continuing to grow organically and up my game...
MrSpiffy 2020 Glog
Well...  I'm late to the party, and have almost no plan.  But, here goes my grow log for 2020.   I just planted seeds today.  (I know...  as I said, I'm late to the party.)  Varieties include:Red habanero (one of my all-time favorites) Dragon's Tongue cayenne Aji Pineapple Aji Mango Aji Rainforest I was recently the lucky beneficiary of a huge variety of seeds on another forum.  A user offered free seeds, we conversed, I said I like sweet and fruity hot peppers, I sent a few bucks for postage, and I got 36 varietals at my doorstep!  I picked out a few from my new cache.  The only ones I've grown previously are the red habaneros.   I grow in pots on my porch.  The last few seasons have been just miserable.  I had aphids one year, and...
Kratky Indoor Pepper Crosses
Hello everyone thanks for stumbling on my GLOG. My first one ended in a "failure" in that I had to terminate all the plants during moving. Well the good news is I'm moving again in a few weeks, it's been such lovely times.   For now I am in an apt and have about 7 pepper plants huddling for warmth around a powerful but too small grow light. I have enough lighting for them, I am just space limited right now. It is temporary, I am buying a house with a very nice garden in the back so they will be in their forever homes shortly. I plan on keeping them in containers and over-wintering them for some ridiculous harvests next year!   Thought this would be a good place to start the GLOG as the next move should be the last, and it will be very...
Pepper Fish 2020
  So I've been wanting to start a grow log of this year but as usual I'm running late.  I got laid off last week (thanks Corona Virus) so I figured now that I have all this new found time on my hands I would finally get started, better late than never they say.  First a little about what I'm trying to do.     My lady and I recently bought a property in zone 7b in the Piedmont of North Carolina.  I had been working full time and putting any extra money into starting a farm.  Obviously my recent unemployment has thrown a wrench in the gears and without the off farm income to invest into the property things will move at a slower pace, but my ultimate goal has not changed.  I am still working on most of my plots, having to break ground on...
Gator don't play no sh!t! New glog old seeds
Here we go, it has been over 5 years since I’ve done an honest grow, and unfortunately most my genetics seem to have gone south. My seed binder sat in a hot box in garage for too long after our move, and my collection has been gutted! On to the the positive! I was able to get some plants to pop and currently have young plants of the following. Carbonero Farmers Market Jalapeno NuMex Orange Spice Jalapeno Tiger Jalapeno Bahamian Goat Kardoula Coyote Zan White Red, yellow, and chocolate Devil’s tongue Tepiquin Naranja Picante Random hot garden cross (think Naga and Bonnet) Aji Arnaucho Ahi meloconton Aji Largo Aji Limo Moruga Reaper Mini Red Rocoto Turbo Pube MOA Scotch Bonnet Jaune Texas Long Horn Mustard Fatalii Home Sweet Home...
Hi guys, how are you? It's a while i don't visit glogs... Last year i haven't even opened one. Long story short: grew Bleeding Jigsaw and Jalapenos from Semillas. Also bought a red rocoto, just in case. Well, it has been my worst year, as soon i planted out stuff there's been at least 2 weeks of cold and rain. Then some other rain... Jalapeno was ok. I even learnt to cook them slower than usual to get better and most consistent results... Bleeding Jigsaw, i dunno, didn't impressed me that much: 1) i've kept two plants, no one bleeded. 2) i've given away some plants, many, if not all, bleeded. It's mid low end super, so enough for me, not very productive (1 plant barely produced any pod, the other some and started to produce nearly...
So, I thought I'd start a glog, primarily to keep track of what I am doing and when, to remember next year what went wrong and what went well, and to force some order into the chaos that is my growth. Glog is starting a bit late perhaps, considering the growing has been going on since late July 19, not sure if those are true Ow's, or just a reeeeaaally early start of 2020 season...? This is my first ever pepper grow, I am quite hooked already, and planted some more seeds yesterday, although I have already run out of space. Usual story, it's my impression from other Glogs! Quick resumé of the History: July 19, first seeds planted. 3 Yaki blue 2 Urfa 2 Criolla da cocina 2 Jalapeño 2 Trinidad Perfume 2 Pablano 100% Germination rate...
Hey everyone!   I'm new to the forum, but I have been reading several of your Glogs and other posts.  Lot's of very helpful information here for a first time grower.   I have loved hot sauce and spicy food for as long as I can remember.  I've grown tired of the grocery store sauces and care rarely find fresh peppers hotter than Habanero.  So, I started researching how to grow superhots.  This is my first attempt and I'm having a blast.  Here are a couple pictures of my progress thus far.   Growing: Carolina Reapers, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and Bhut Jolokia Setup: 3x3 tent, Mars Hydro Reflector 1000w grow light Nutrients: Fox Farms until it runs out or I move them outside and then will swtich to Dyna-Grow   I plan to make some weapons...
Few peppers
Hello, Since "les saintes glaces" are over (period between 11-13th of May, after it's expected it won't be freezing anymore), I'm already put few of my peppers in bigger pots ready to be put outside as soon as the temperature will be high enough over night. So here we have: Fatalii, Cayenne, peter pepper, habanada and sweet red pepper, others pots are tomatoes, chocolate bell pepper and gherkins.  
Growing Peppers 100% Indoors Under LED's
I have 5 3500K autocobs from http://cobshop.net in a 3'x5'x7' reflective indoor tent. Two on each side and 1 in the middle of the tent. Positioned like a 5 side of a dice. The lights need to stay about 15''-22'' away from the top of the plants. This was quite hard to figure out at first since the lights didn't come with directions.   I'm hoping to breed a pepper to another pepper to make a smallish hot banana hybrid. That will be fun.   Here are the peppers started indoors just recently for indoor production over the winter. The plan is to grow these peppers in 10'' pots until they produce or get too big. Then I'll bonchi a few to find out how bonsai chilies produce.   On to the pics   Ray's Sweet Habanero     Orange Pepperoncini  ...
Another year and it probably won't be much of a glog again.  Would be nice if I could link my fb pics into here.   Not too sure on what all I will be growing.  Always promise myself I am trimming it back, but I still run with a lot of varieties.     Hoping to find some good 7 pot burgandy and yellow scorpions for the upcoming season.  Somewhere along the way my yellows didn't pan out and all the seeds I have gotten for me haven't grown out to my liking.
Started the year exactly on New Year's Day with 5 each of the following seeds: Cappuccino scotch bonnet Espelette Faria Hot amish finger MOA scotch bonnet Red habanero Red rocoto Sugar rush peach Good germination rate with at least 4 of each  :), except the rocotos for which unfortunately none germinated :( . Picked the best two of each, planted in rock wool cubes and put under LED lights.   Didn't get around to taking any pics of the seedlings, but ...
Next to My Chair Again
Baby plants again!  Down on the floor again next to my chair in my little library.  Here's how it looks right now.  I've got seeds in the germinator moving to cups every day now, will end up with another dozen or so seedlings under the light.        I'm scaling back from the 20+ plants I had last year to seven or eight plants, some in Kratky containers of various sizes, others in fabric pots with dirt.  The list:    10G D - Sugar Rush Peach - WDC 10G D - P. Dreadie - CD 5G D - JPGS - WHP 5G D - 1208 Red - UE 5G K - 1208 Red - UE 5G K - 7 Pot Jonah - WHP 32G K - Haskorea - PtMD989 1G K - Rocoto Arequipa Giant Red - CD Bonchi start - 7 Pot Yellow - BB   Kratky will be Botanicare CNS17 Grow and bottled spring water at first, tap water...
Well here it is - after a two year hiatus, I decided to get myself a new grow light (HLG 100), grow peppers again and join this community. I decided to it simple this year and grow fewer varieties from seeds I already have. These were packaged in 2014 or earlier so it will serve as a viability test as well. After talking with my wife, we decided on the following 4 varieties 1 Super Hot: Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. Seeds from the Chile Pepper Institute packaged in 2013. 1 Ornamental: Numex Twilight. Seeds from the Chile Pepper Institute packaged in 2012. 2 Varieties for Cooking: Jalafuego. Seeds from tomatogrowers.com. Packaged before 2014 Chiltepin. Seeds I collected after a trip to Texas in 2014. I have the following goals...

Starting Peppers Indoors
I'm starting a few peppers early indoors under 3500k LED. Two were started about one month ago and the rest at various times throughout the last two weeks.   Here is my pepper list 1 of each   Banana Anaheim Big Jim Hot Pepper (supposed to be biggest chilly pepper in the world with the heat of a jalapeno) Pepperoncini Habanada And lastly seeds I saved from a small red pepper that looked like a small 3'' banana pepper   First I'm having a bit of trouble. The first two I planted (Anaheim and Habanada) in coco coir hydrated from an 11lb bail mixed with lobster compost. These sprouted and didn't grow a set of true leaves after two weeks. Now they are just starting to push out a set of leaves. The problem may have been a combination of...
All right yall. Decided to keep a log of my tobasco/habaneros. Been at it since April 26th and pretty sure Ive done every possible thing wrong so far.... So as I watch my wifes tomato plants and her one Serrano plant grow and flower (which I know is too early in season) Im starting to have doubts. So heres where Im at so far... Ive battled pests, heat, dogs, black plastic containers, over watering and lastly over nutrients. Now with all that being said. Im trying to let them do their things and lay off but will probably go get a couple more plants to have a clean slate. Not giving up on these yet!!! But I believe my zone will allow me to start at this time and still make the end push. Ill post pics of where I started and keep updating...
Rocoto relleno: de la semilla a la mesa
I recently received a most generous gift of seeds from our friend CaneDog.  Thanks CaneDog!  Included were some Rocoto Arequipa Giant Red seeds which I now have in my little germinator.  I mean to grow some nice large pods and cook up some Rocoto relleno; this glog will document the process, the ups and downs, and will end with my ultimate success or failure in the attempt.  This photo is my inspiration at the start.  It looks absolutely delicious and I hope to produce something similar in the end.  I will be looking for and mulling over ideas for recipes for the stuffed peppers themselves, accompaniments, and general information on Peruvian cooking and cuisine along the way.       The plan is to provide the plant a swing in...
Kaity's 2020 Growing Effort :)
I have moved the Ghost Pepper outdoors permanently as it is really enjoying the sunshine.  The Jalapeno is still doing well enough after a roughish wintering.  Not sure what the Piquin hybrid will do...but I feel it will make it.     So what else to germ...I set up my germination mat and will have several moisture bags in it.   5x Pablano (VERY mellow heat) 5x Jalapeno 5x Piquin 3x Carolina Reaper   Not sure what all will sprout.  The Jalapeno and Pablano peppers are a staple in a lot of my cooking.  The Piquin and Ghost will make great chili powders, so looking forward to them growing out.  The Carolina Reaper is just something I am going to grow to say I did it really.  There were little flakes in the seed bag and I put a few pieces...
Desert Grow 2020
The last few growing years have been filled with disappointment, outright disaster, and greatly reduced interest.  But then 2020 came along and 'gifted'  :rolleyes: me with plenty of time to devote to the hobby! The Pepper Zone sucked me in big time.   Results to date are fantastic, at least by my standards, with few incidents and only one or two fatalities.  As of today I've got about two dozen plants growing in bags, buckets, pots, etc.  Most are baccatum, with a few Thai and 'Hatch' varieties thrown in for variety. The NuMex and a handful of baccatum strains are producing pods. With cooler monsoonal climate arriving, I look forward to a large-scale bloom over the next few weeks.    Table of peppers.   A few more..   Behold, the...
GPR 2020: Seeing clearly
Good evening and thanks for taking a look at my glog  :welcome: Seeds started 4th & 5th   This year from start to finish I’ll be updating unlike years past and hopefully my take this year will result in a ton of sauce (cousins brew) pickled hot peppers (mine) and gonna do a mesquite smoked powder mix. So sit back, relax and come on this journey to grow some sick, some mild and some new varieties with me.  Here’s the list (so far):   Bishops Crown Dedo de moca (thanks GIP) Violet Sparkle (thanks GIP) Dulce Sol (thanks GIP) Purple Tobago Seasoning (thanks GIP) Pdn x Bmj white (thanks Paul) Stuffing scotch bonnet (hoping for 1 sprout) Aji lemon Aji peach fantasy  Aji Cachucha Aji Dulce Aji Dulce Orange  Aji charpita Sugar Rush Red Sugar...
