2019 was a poor year.  I had too many plants and they didn't get potted on when they should nor did they have the space and air and light they needed.  Even the plants in my neighbour's greenhouse didn't produce until very late into the autumn and most pods got frosted before they ripened. ...

Advice needed, chaps and chapesses... which of these plants need a big pot? Ten large pots (approx 20l I think) currently available and everything else has to go in MFBs (approx 10l?)  14 possible candidates: Cseresznye Paprika (annuum) Lemon Spice Jalapeno (annuum) Monkey Face (annuum) Aji...

My friend was given some seeds from ebay (supposed to be white bhut jolokia.)  I know, I know - but normally ebay seeds are cayenne or similar.  This is different.        Seeds were light coloured, hence thinking it's not a pubescens.  Friend is an experienced chilli-grower so would surely have...

Looking for recommendations.  I am growing various chinenses (mostly hot/superhot), baccatums and one rocoto.  They will most likely take a long time to produce / ripen.  I have already sown a few annuums and was planning to sow another 8 or so more.  However, I have already got far more plants...

Sorry about the title; it just came to mind.  Warning:  This glog will most likely be EXTREMELY BORING - read at your own risk.  2019 will be my third "proper" year growing chillies.  I'm still at the newbie stage of wanting to try every variety of several species and haven't yet managed to...

Just that, really.  The pods started off a pale green / creamy colour and turned white quite quickly (when not even full size.)  Other baccatums seem to take a really long time to ripen so I just wonder how long I need to wait for these ones to be fully ripe and is it possible to tell?   I have...

This year is my second "proper" chilli grow; I did reasonably OK last year.  I'm growing 12 chinense varieties from seed and all the rest of the seedlings look "normal" except these two.  The first pair of true leaves look normal but the second pair looks deformed - narrow and twisted.  Since I...

I bought this plant as a seedling from the garden centre labelled as a scotch bonnet with the description about being shaped like a ... well, you know.  After reading a couple of threads on here about misidentification of SBs, I've realised that these are definitely not them.  I looked again at...

If you could grow only one or two of these... which ones would you pick and why? I'd love to hear your opinions. * Carolina Reaper * Chocolate douglah * Moruga Trinidad scorpion * Trinidad scorpion * Red 7 pot * Chocolate habanero * Habanero Paper Lantern * Bhut jolokia * Chocolate bhut...

Just joined as this seems to be a good place for tips and advice.  I'm pretty much a complete novice; I first grew chillies a few years ago as a one-off, and have grown a few more this year, kind of by accident - I went to my local garden centre for tomato plants and came out with chillies (as...
