last year was my first chilli year....   terrible until now to say the least. It took me a year to learn how to do it properly.   The answer is, plant them in the garden then leave them be. dont water until all the leaves curl up and looks like its dieing. Once you water them the next morning...

my chillis still producing, they didnt produce over summer but are now....   good to finally see some results.   I have trimmed them all back and now they are resprouting already

My cayennes/brain strain/bhut/butch t all flowering and putting out pods now... Problem is everyone i open even before they are ripe has a fken caterpillar in it ><

in qld now?

my brain strain is similar to yours :) finally fruited after all season waiting :) Got my first pod off it on the weekend. was too keen so i pulled it off when i t was still orange with a tinge of green. I rekon it will get hotter once it ripens. but damn its already hot and the smell is...

I have a rose, i cut it down to 3 cm short cause of the amount of aphids on it >< but now my chillies were getting slammed. I have a huge cayenne plant full of green chillis, so instead of keep spraying it with poison i just pulled all the leaves off... No more aphids, the chillis are still...

That is the reason i no longer care for soil gardening... mucking around with nutrients etc. My aquaponic veggies are going crazy....im running a 800litre fish tank soon to be stocked with trout. the growth was crazy and no worries about nutriets. Once a month i put a capful of seasol in. and...

my four superhots are not cranking along. Not sure what they are exactly (they are all different) because i lost the name tags... WHen the pods are a big more developed ill post pics. Also damn aphids are going crazy now....spraying with pyrenthum seems to hurt the leaves (i do it at night)...

i never eat a pod now without cutting it open to inspect :)

Im not getting leaf drop really, im getting the opposite, my plants are finally flowering and looks like they might hold...hopefully i grow my first superhot. My cayenne is going crazy thought, i pulled it out of pot and put it in the ground and its double size in a few weeks and has so many...

are all those pods rotten or bugged out??

leafcutterbee, im lucky i saw your display pic.... i was wondering what has demolished my cayenne by taking perfect semi circle cuts out of the leaves...you have just enlightened me.

FINALLY all my superhots that were producing rock hard flowers with no pollen have started to have flowers with pollen...only took until the end of the season... I think the soil from good life soil and the ferts i was giving it were way to strong (had crinkled leaves permanently...) So after...

i dont think its over nutes i rarely fertilise them. when i do its with half strength. the pods dont come, flower opens no pollen, then just falls off, the petals dont even go brown and droopy

3 of my biggest superhots have some problems Look healthy as in terms of greenery so i assume nitrogen is ok. One has put out some pods, they open up to a flower but the flower looks small and hard. It has no pollen in it at all. the largest has no flowers or buds at all. The middle one has...
