Can't really call this a grow log as most often I forgot/too lazy/busy to take photos of my plants growing up. So more like a collection of some photos of my chili plants (mostly pods) from past and present.
I started growing chili indoor when I was in college, like a pot or two (not sure that even counts). My serious chili growing started only 3 years back. As I live in apartment, most of my plants are grown in pots on my balcony. I grow many other (non-chili) plants as well, including rice paddy.
This is where the magic happens....

I will start with the past and these are some of my chili plants that are in a better place now.
Demon F1 (Thailand): my favourite of all, the most productive plant I ever had. It just gave up after 2.5 years despite several rescue attempts.
