Hi All   Really glad you like the post and hope it is providing some useful info!   The "Bhut Jolokia" plant on the kitchen side was from the grow tent and was topped at an early stage which obviously caused the bushy growth, this plant was around 60-70 CM high yes.   I use 2 x grow tents, this...

Okay here are some pics of mainly the Bhut Jolokia plants all grown under LEDs indoor.                 All the above are taken in my kitchen after removing one plant from Bhut Jolokia grow room, you see the amount of set fruit and the plant has been kept relatively small in a 3 litre pot. ...

Originally I used a fan to circulate the air but stopped as it was drying the plants out too much. This made no difference to the Bhut Jolokia's until I solved the issues with the flowers not producing pollen as obviously no pollen, no pollination, no fruit!   Once I solved the humidity issues I...

Hi all   I hope this post helps anyone who has had similar problems growing Bhut Jokia peppers and hopefully answer some of those questions regarding causes of flower drop and lack of pollen from flowers.   I currently have an indoor grow room as I live in an apartment in the UK and weather is...

Thanks for the advise guys, have picked pods and flowers and so far growing more veg once again. Flowers are already starting to come back so will leave now and see what happens.   Will post some more picks in a week or two.   Thanks again   HB

Temperature is minimal, they stay pretty cool and the electric consumption is minimal if not next to nothing, approx 90% less power usage than HID lights.   In my grow room when closed maximum temp gets to about 85 degrees and compared to HIDs I have used in the past I always had to keep an eye...

The grow light is a "Prakasa 200W COB LED" full spectrum.         These lights are good considering they are LED and was a little unsure if they would be as good as HIDs, but I would say the growth with HIDs would be a little more but they are certainly worth using as there isn't much in it...

Thank you all for the advise, I have decided to pinch the pods and flowers off and see what happens, hopefully it will veg more if not I think I will top the plant and hope it spreads to accommodate later pods.   Thanks again for the valued advise.   HB

Thank you for the advise much appreciated, I thought I would post some images so you can see where I'm coming from.   My biggest concern is that this plants harvest is a bumper crop and not just a few as the plant cannot cope with the weight or has enough follage to grow enough pods.        ...

So the general advise would be to pick the set chilli pods and the flowers/buds to encourage vegative growth correct? Only other thought is would this not cause more flower buds to appear, as I have picked a pod and others appeared?   Thanks for the advise and the replies much appreciated.   HB

I would like a bigger harvest really, my worry is the plant isn't big enough and needs to grow more, surely putting its effort into making fruit will stunt the growth of the plant which will mean less fruit later on.   I have already picked one pod using this logic but has started to produce...

Hi All I have a number of chilli plants in a grow tent under LED grow lights, varieties include the following: Bhut Jolokia Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Red Carolina Reaper Numex Twilight Orange Habanero Super Chilli They are under lights due to long germination and lack of good light and are...
