Wow, so many responses! We live in Queensland in Australia. If it helps with identifying things, we're up on the second floor of an apartment block, with our plants all in pots on the balcony. We have a bunch of different herbs, an avocado plant and three anaheim chilli plants, two of which are...

Thank you for the extra welcomes! Sorry I've been absent for so long, just posted an update in the other thread :)

So it's been a fortnight since I last posted - lots has been happening and unfortunately I haven't had time to post. I took pictures when I remembered though so hopefully will be able to bring things up to speed.   The two big chilli plants are doing about the same - I'm just on monitoring mode...

Good ones or bad ones? If they're good ones, they have to be eating something to be multiplying so fast, and it would be good to know what they're after. If they're bad ones, they're eating our plants and can dia  :fire:

More welcomes! Thank you!  :dance:

Haha, Hybrid, thanks. It is exciting, but all quite daunting as well. This has turned from a "let's start a little balcony garden" to these plants being like pets.   Moruga, I had read about baking the soil but neither of us were willing to use the oven we cook food in! Would adding boiling...

Woo, Aussies up after midnight! Might go to bed soon though, lol. Thanks for the wonderful welcome everyone :D

Thanks for all the responses guys. I guess the good thing about the Rooster Booster is that they're pellets and they're just sitting at the top of the soil, so they're easy to remove and flush the pot. I do think they've helped with the calcium deficiency (only added one lot of pellets and...

To be honest I don't know what changed, as I'm sure the stunted chilli's leaves had started curling before we repotted (same makeup 2 parts potting mix, 1 part perlite). It was done using a new bag of potting mix, which came with fungus gnats but they seemed to clear off once the mix was in the...

Thanks! I'll have to go out and snap some photos of our grown chillies to make a post :D

I don't think I'm overwatering - I read that it's okay to wait until the chilli's leaves are just starting to go limp and then give them a drink, which for the two large chilli plants is every 3-4 days and the smaller one is about once a week. The mix is about 2/3 potting mix (it was quite...

Thank you! I would love to start one if it's okay to do so mid grow - we've gotten one ripe chilli so far, and both our large plants have two giant chillies that are on the way to ripening. I've just posted the problem I'm facing over in the growing section here, if anyone can help.

A few months ago my partner and I decided we would start a small garden on our balcony. He bought a bunch of different herb seeds and some chilli seeds. We started with Anaheim and planned to move on to bigger and better things if we were successful. We live in Queensland, Australia, so it...

Hello everyone, this is my first post! I'm late to the party - I should've joined and started posting our chilli progress months ago. These forums have been a great help while we've been growing our first chillies, and I'm glad I can be a part of it.   I have come across a problem and searching...
