Hi ajdrew, thanks for the reply! I only grew reapers this year, so I  hope it's just early wonky pods and not that I've been sent the wrong seeds. That'd be a bit of a bummer, I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Hi everyone,   So this year, despite most of my plants dying (aye aye aye!) I've finally finally ended up with some fruits on one of them, however, they don't seem to look too much like other Carolina Reapers I've seen around on the forums. I'd be grateful if some of you could take a look and...

Quick update! It's been about a month since my last post and there seems to only be bad news unfortunately. There hasn't been much new growth at all in any of the plants and all the new growth that there is, is very twisted and curled. The black spots have also got worse on a lot of the plants...

Hi Spicy Mushroom, I've stopped fetilizing for the moment, could that be causing the black edges on the leaves?   Thanks for the reply!

Edit: Quoted my own post by mistake and can't delete it, that's why this exists, sorry everyone. :oops:

Hi again everyone, back again with an update! I hope it's okay to sort of bump myself like this.   I've repotted half of the plants into some soil with perlite, hoping that it may have been badly draining soil causing the issues, so time will tell with how that goes compared to the other half...

  I'll have a hunt for a better scope to look for mites, then maybe re-pot a few of them with some perlite for better drainage and leave the others to see if it sorts itself out. Thanks for all the info!   Also thanks for all the replies and advice everyone, it looks like I've got a good few...

  Ooh, so much choice! I have to admit, even though I've grown some hot peppers I'm not actually incredibly fond of the very hot ones myself. I mostly grow them for members of my family who seem to not be able to get enough heat! (And of course to sound silly being like "Beholddd the hottest...

    My soil is just standard multipurpose that says it is 42% peat free, I'm thinking of re-potting half of them and adding in some perlite to help with drainage and see if it does them any good, in case it is water stress.

  Hi! I'm right down near the bottom in Cornwall, near to Penzance! Cool that you have relatives over here!     Hi Vicious, I haven't actually grown any others yet no, but I'd like to vary my crops in future. Would you recommended any varieties in particular?

Haha hi! I had wondered if we may bump into each other again  :P   Thanks Vicious, they were transplanted a couple of weeks ago, could it be to do with that?   Juanitos suggested to me on reddit about the possibility of the soil not draining well so all credit goes to him if it's that! 

Hi everyone, I'm growing some Carolina Reapers in the UK and looking for some advice! Recently I've noticed on most of my plants the new growth seems to be crinkling and distorting itself, apart from a couple of aphids I can't really see anything that may be thrips or another pest on the plants...

Hi everyone,   I'm going to make a post asking for some advice about my current chilli plants but thought I better introduce myself here first!   So! I'm 23 and currently trying my hand at growing some Carolina Reapers, my previous experience with chillis was the red savina back when it was the...
