I had them at the edge of my Polly tunnel so they were mostly shaded from the wind plus I had a few cobblestones that I propped against each so they would topple over.
Leave them all for now.In a few weeks to a month you will be able to tell if the bottom branches will be worth keeping.If they...
When Superhots are left to grow naturally they will grow up and then split into 2 or 3 stems and then split again.The growth below the first split normally comes to nothing.I leave all the leaves on but they were starting to go yellow and since its nearing the end I removed them.If you top you...
Yeah.I think it was the constant wet/dry/wet/dry that probably helped plus every watering had half strength Dyna-gro in it.The pods are just as big and some bigger than my full hydro Moruga plus I had almost no flower drop until the end.All they early flowers set which was nice.I may do a a...
I was growing a few plants to sell at the markets and got left with these two Yellow Morugas.I was too lazy to repot them up as my polytunnel was already full so I just left them in the 1 L pots.
I feed them a either Dyna-grow bloom or Grow depending on my mood.Its been really hot here in NZ so...
I was bit lazy this year and didnt stake up a lot of my plants so when they got heavy from the fruit I lost a lot of branches with green pods.I ended up throwing them over the fence and a few days latter the pods were starting to colour up.I then started collecting all the broken branches and...
Reapers take 10 weeks to ripen(Red) from pollination.If you cut the branch off with the Reapers on and put it into a container of water and put it in the shade they will ripen faster but you probably dont want to do that :)
My Devils brain got a very bad dose of curly leaf and then a massive...
I will always top my plants from now on.The ones which I do not top grow a single tall stem and then split into either 2 or 3 main stems,then split again etc.With topping they grow many strong branches from the base.I think they produce much more although they really do need to be staked...
