  Hi Mamsoth   I use Westland West + Light and Easy (it's in a dark brown bag) and I add perlite and vermiculite, I never push the compost down tight just pot them loose. I feed them with Growth Technology Chilli Focus. Repotted more plants and moved things around again to give them more space.  

Thanks very much. I do like to keep things very tidy.   I have took the tops out of a few plants to see the difference on 1 cayenne and 1 habanero, The cayenne is a really bushy plant it'll be interesting to see the difference in the yield of pods.

They look great pods, it'll be nice to see the finished product.

Hi there Mamsoth   I live in Birmingham Another update on the progress of my chillies. I've repotted most of my superhots into 5 and 10 litre pots in the end I will probably move them all into 10 litres.  

Hi there THP,   Just thought I'd post a few updated pictures of my chillies, I've moved a few things around and plan to make another staging on the other side for more plants. I still have loads of things to add to it.... all the plants seem pretty happy. My long slim cayenne's have some pods...

The weather has been much better so I've added more chillies, I still have quite a few to go.   

Great little setup and nice plants, the greenhouse will soon be packed out :-)

Hi there,   Here is an updated picture of more chillies I have inside ready to put in the polytunnel........ if we ever get any good weather.  

Hi there, I’m Kev I live in the UK and thought I’d post a few pictures of my growing area and some of my peppers I’m growing this year. I had loads of chillies that I grew last year in my greenhouse but in the past few weeks I’ve brought a 3m polytunnel and have set it up at the end of the...

toughened safety glass is much better as you can have it in a full pane where as if you choose horticultural glass which is cheaper it only comes in half size so those full panes you see in my pics would be cut in half, the cheaper glass is much more dangerous if it breaks. The safety glass is...

The greenhouse is a Halls Popular 6ft x 8ft Green with FULL SHEET toughened safety glass 2 x Auto Roof vents and 1 x Louvre vent. I built the greenhouse about 5 months ago now, it's been great. File host Photobucket seems to be playing up at the moment that hosts my pictures

Hi there, My name is Kev this is my first season for growing chillies in the UK, I had a Cheyenne plant for my birthday last year which got me started with growing them. Here is a few pictures of my progress Picture 1 - Orange Habanero Picture 2 - Scotch Bonnet Picture 3 - Little Elf Picture...

Hi there, I've been growing various types of chillies in my greenhouse and most seem fine but I've noticed the skin of my scotch bonnets has a cracked effect and some of my jolokia's have it on the very tip. Do the chilli experts here have any idea what could cause this? I grow all my chillies...

Hi there, I live in the UK and have been growing these jolokia plants for some time now, they look nice and healthy big plants but they have dropped their buds a few times. I try not to over water them and feed every now and again with some tomato feed which is not too high in nitrogen. Would...

Hi there HP forum, Last year i grew various types of chilli's including Bhut Jolokia but my usual method was starting the seeds in potting compost and vermiculite but i thought i would have a go at starting some birds eye chilli's in moist kitchen roll in my propagator, they now have a little...
