Jolokia Pictures from Oregon

| I'm a first time Jolokia grower who's learned a lot about these chilies through the GardenWeb forums. For the first go-round I decided to order 2 month old plants through the mail. After countless hours of research on raising them indoors, I decided on a setup that seemed to be both cost effective and productive. Thus far the results have been way beyond expectations and I've decided to post pictures regularly so other new growers can see their progression, give feedback, ask questions and give their own advice. Thanks, and enjoy!... |

I am getting ready to start some of my Bhut's
today, on a gemination mat. Will not be able to
go into garden until end of April/beginning of
May. Will post pictures of progress if they come
out Ok. |

bbqpdxcom, you never posted pictures. Here is my Bhut's just
breaking soil. So far 3 out of 10. I'm sure some more will pop
up soon. The first 3 took 11 days to emerge. Hope you can
see them in this picture. Tried to make picture smaller.

Here are my beautiful little Bhut's. They were sowed into the planter on Dec. 26th. I moved 1 to a pot already, just to see how it does since I have so many.

Yours look nice. Looks like yours are growing a
little faster than mine. Mine are not under lights
yet, but will do that tommorrow. |
RE: Jolokia Pictures from Oregon

| Here they are again. Under lights now and looking good.

| Out of all the seedlings I grew last year, the bhut jolokia's that I grew last year just seemed like stronger more robust seedlings from the get go, more so than any other pepper seedlings. Great looking seedlings Roper2008. Danny |

Thanks Danny. I don't start my other peppers until
2nd week of March. Since these take a long time to
have ripe peppers, I started early. 7 months I've
heard. |

| Hi guys, I have been looking for some Jolokia Seeds since last year. I bought some from an online store and will NOT buy from them again. The peppers looked exactly the same as the "Scotch Bonnets" I bought from the same store. Where did you order your seeds? I'd also appreciate any tips you have on starting the seeds too!

roper2008,
What soil mixture are you using in the white cups? They look great!! |
RE: Jolokia Pictures from Oregon
| | |
I just use Miracle Grow Potting Mix. I give the
peppers some diluted fish/Seaweed fertiler. They
look yellowish in picture, but they are a nice green
color. |

| roper: That Alaskan Fish stuff? I bought a bottle this year for the wrong purpose, but am keeping it just in case I find some use for it. Would be awesome if it would help my pepper plants! =) |
RE: Jolokia Pictures from Oregon

I use it on small seedling because it's a mild fertilizer. I mostly use
Garden-Tone on all my vegetables, but going to try something else
on my peppers since they are suppose to be heavy feeders. In summer
when I'm in the mood, I add the fish fertilizer to all my plants, for extra
boost. It's great for houseplants, violets and ferns love it. My sister
and I ordered a 5 gallon bucket of Neptune's Fish/Seaweed, and split
it. For me that's 2 years worth. |

Just transplanted from cups. Notice little Bhut upper left. I accidently
used seed starting mix when it was first transplanted. Fixed problem,
so it should catch up.

| Nice looking bhuts Roper! I hope you like fire lol. re: fertilizer for your peppers. I use Tomato-Tone with great results. The feeding requirements of peppers is very similar to tomatoes. Hope you have a great season. Rick  Bhut Jolokia (JF)

RE: Jolokia Pictures from Oregon

Thanks, they seem to be very strong peppers. My other
hot peppers are doing good, but not as robust looking.
I thought tomatoes were not heavy feeders and peppers
were heavy feeders. I have a lot of Garden-Tone to use
up. When that's gone I'll try Tomato-Tone. I still
have to figure out what to do with the peppers if I get
some. |
RE: Jolokia Pictures from Oregon

| I use to use tomato tone or garden tone for my plants, but I have since found a different product that works much better. It is Botanicare pure blend pro grow. Shortly after I started using it my peppers really started taking off, I was actually impressed by the amount of growth that was taking place. They also looked a lot healthier also. You can usually find it at a local hydro shop, or just go to their website to find a local distributor. The downside is it does cost a little more then the espoma products. |

My Bhut's almost a month later. Hardening them off right now.
The 2 in back are starting to form little flowers.

| Yea! real nice, what is your light set-up? |
RE: Jolokia Pictures from Oregon
| | |
Last time they were under lights was March 1st. After
that they were by windows in sunroom. Hardening them
off slowly right now. Before that they were under daylight
florescent 6400 or 6500k. These pepper plants are 3 almost
months old. Glad I started end of December. |
