Thanks for the reply! Last year I planted them in “John Innes No1 young plant compost“ when I first transplanted them into their 6cm pots then they went into “John Innes potting on compost” when they went into their 9cm pots. Once their roots were filling up most of the pots and then were...

Hi, sorry if this topic has already been discussed, but would anyone be able to tell me what N-P-K numbers I should be looking out for throughout the growing cycle in regards to feeding seedlings, young plants to the fruiting stage? I’m about to start some seedings off in the jiffy coir pellets...

Thanks solid7 for the advice! I planted all the plants in a mix of peat free compost, vermiculite and perlite and a small amount of coir that I had left. The medium seems to be ok its not compacted and seems free draining enough so the roots should be happy! The only nutrients I have given...

Hi all! This growing year has been a lot of learning and rewards, however there were a few bumps in the road along the way but managed to get the plants this far! I have noticed though that some of the plants have started to get yellowing on the leaves and now some flower buds are starting to...

Thanks again for the info! I made a rookie mistake today for leaving the plants out too long and the are a bit sun scorched, Should I remove the burnt leaves so the plant can focus it energy on replacing the damaged leaves? The leaves look white and almost transparent. Thanks again!

Hi all! This is my second year growing peppers and everyday seems to be a learning opportunity, however todays lesson doesn't feel like a good one! I noticed whilst watering my Aji Limon (the chilli I was most excited to grow) that there were some leaved some big and some just past baby leaves...

Thanks for the help! Relieved that they should be fine and hope to have an abundant harvest from them. I've got a few other variety's that are all looking very happy and already have a lot of flowers coming through. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm pretty new at the whole growing peppers world and I apologise if there is information already around. I have a few plants that were started in december and have been doing really well, they were bushy healthy looking plants but recently I've noticed that my paper lantern has started to...

Sorry if this is a little off topic, but I wanted to get started on sowing some seeds with a few week gaps in between so the plants don't have fruits coming all at once like I did in my first year (last year). The problem that Is I don't really know much when it comes to grow lights! My problem...

Hi, Im going to try and grow some Chilli plants for the second time this year, and want to try and grow them earlier to increase the harvest period. Last year I ran into some problems due to low light levels when the seedlings were growing and ended up with very leggy seedlings which I did...

Thanks guys for the info, Ive made some room in the guest room and moved it indoors and put it in front of a east/ south facing window. The room gets quite warm so hopefully that will help a little. Hopefully there will be a few more days of sunshine! Ill definitely start propagating earlier...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could tell me what to do, its my first year growing chillies and have had all of my plants produce fruit apart from one. I have a Bhut Jolokia which is just starting to produce flower pods but the days are getting shorter and the nights colder and was...
