Here is a couple of videos of this years grow. Overdone it this year and have way too many plants in small pots as a result. think ill have more pods than last year though. I have an overwintered Bhut Jolika in there which was producing well, then i repotted it and it had a huge growth and pod...

hmm unsure what to do. there is probably 9 weeks growing season left here.   Last year i had some hot wax peppers do the same but these were the last ones at the end of the season.

I have a large bhut jolika that I managed to save through winter. It has grown loads this year and now has a lots of pods on it. The problem is the pods seem a bit squishy and are not glossy in texture, they are matt. It is also dropping lots of flowers. I removed it from its pot and it was...

Hi, I would love some of those seeds. Only thing is im in UK, if its ok then id send you enough postage. I dont have any of the seeds you are looking for, as im fairly new to chilli growing. Cheers

Ok, I realised that maybe the thread i posted in the growing section should maybe have been posted here. Basically I think it`d be a nice idea to get a seed train going in the UK. If you are interested please view the thread below to join on. thehotpepper.com/topic/34650-uk-seed-train/...

Cheers for the interest. Ill keep an eye on this then and may have to bump it a couple of times over the next few weeks. Would suggest starting in a month (ish) time, still got some pods that haven't ripened yet. Tom

Last year I spotted a thread for a seed train, i thought it was a great idea, understandably it had to stop inside the US. The UK growing season is coming to an end, and people may have some spare seeds to swap. Im fairly new to growing chilli plants, but have a few different seeds. Hab, Scotch...

Wow that looks ace. Good work. Only just noticed this, I just posted a topic asking whether or not I have an accidental Bonsai.

Just a word of warning. I have had two lots from ebay, both never germinated.

Last year i grew one Demon plant. It had a very hard year, nearly killed as a seedling by a caterpillar, dropped a few times (broken stems) and fell into a sink of soapy water. I decided to keep the plant over winter because i wanted it to have a chance. Well it has come back this year strong...

cheers, i think maybe the watering over the cold months may have been too excessive. I gave the plants one very weak mix of tomatoe feed over the winter, but nothing since. The roots did not seem to smell, just brown and not a very big root ball on it. The bugs have since been squished...

Hi, Ok been to get some photos today. what do you guys think please? The poorly SB looks like its trying to grow? ------------------------------------------- the hardy demon, hab, and my new seedlings. Pulled some more flower buds off today to try to oget them to grow leaves....hope...

yes I'm glad that I have managed 2 of 3, especially since its my first time :) hopefully get some photos this evening of my plants.

Ok its time again to get cracking on with a second year at chilli growing...cant wait....but i have a couple of questions about overwintered plants please. At the end of last season i saved 3 plants. Scotch bonnet, habenaro and a demon. All of them plodded on through winter on my window sill...

Cheers, Im feeding every day with tomato food. Have pruned the lot today as it seems to be working well on the scotch bonnets. How comes the thai don't have any heat at all, is this normal?
