1. Weevil? 2. sunburn or mildew/fungus 3. maybe aphid damage 4. aphid damage or mites/thrips 5. dunno, all of the above? Welcome to my world, well not really, you don't have fungus, root root, fruit flies, root knot nematodes, slugs, snails, caterpillars etc. I see everyones nice plants...

http://www.junglerain.com.au The site is a bit funny with my browser (Opera), even with left clicks on my mouse it comes up JS "right mouse button disabled"! Grant if you're reading can you get your guys to look into that? Works fine with IE and Firefox though. You could try wildfire chilli...

Lots of plants there megamoo. Good work on the home made cold frame box. I just bought one of these and took the lazy way out. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/250874669430

I love chicken masala and found an awesome recipe for it. But there's no heat in it so I've never linked it here. But this is chicken masala http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3443725

Hi! There's about 5-7 people here from Perth. More than any other state it seems. Must be because it's so boring here there's not much else to do :D Used to be more from other states, but they seem to have disappeared. Shame because they were in the game longer and had more experience. It's...

They aren't drying that quick. I bet the bottom is still moist. Plus you want it like that, chillies like air in the soil, so top dry for air, top dry to avoid fungus and gnats, bottom moist to make the roots grow down. If you are really worried, buy a moisture reading meter. You could risk...

Are you sure old pic of flower the same plant? That has 6 petals, your new pic has 5 petals.

Yes, but if they are indoors, no light, no heat, soil already very moist/wet from germinating etc, I've had better luck keeping them drier. I'm assuming their location of Perth is Perth Australia. It's early spring, night time temps are 40F, day time 65F, even my plants outside only get...

Possibly. At this time of year, indoors and no artificial light, they need ver little water, maybe a tiny bit once per 7-10 days. Too wet, then i) turn yellow, 2) fungus will kill them. I don't know how wet you kept them while germinating, but as you mentioned they are not just yellow, but...

Looks like a very interesting hybrid/cross. I'd say chinense crossed with baccatum (upright pods like baccatum, single pod, the height/growth, and the leaves look like a baccatum) Is there any colour in the flowers? Baccatums usually have a bit of green/brown or yellow spotting. Frutescens...

On another thread you said chilli growing has got you through difficult times. For me that is also the case but I didn't want to comment on your post in that thread either, but I'd like to say it here. Thanks, this is getting me through very difficult and rough times too. I love the lovers...

Thanks for posting this Matt. I'm glad you really went through with it. I think you are an asset to this forum even though I never got to know you very well. The simple reason was that while there is gold (pun intended) in the growing forums, I'm in OZ, so when things are busy there it's...

I have a fruit fry problem and did some research on it. They can live in the ground as maggots for up to 18 months, need a certain nematode that attacks them in the ground as I said before. But otherwise it's a "plastic wrap, burn or drown" approach to infected fruit. Gasi plants are looking...

If you read everything in this thread, you'd also know that what I have done is not support people that attacked others. I've been willing to give every vendor the benefit of the doubt and have a problem with people that don't. IE all I asked was for people with a problem to give the vendor a...

I was just going to ask you why are you up late after I saw you post in the hp22b thread? I was dead tired, but I have a window, If I'm not asleep by 9.30, I ain;t going to be until about 2am. I seem to not be able to sleep bewteen 9-12 like normal people. I get a second wind and get wide...

Slugs eating my chillies every night, aphids are pretty plentiful here too :tear:

Interesting. Last year the first anti bug treatment I used was oil based, and it screwed up all the seedlings. I switched to pyrenthrum later last season on for all my plants and had no ill effects. Used pyrethrum this year on younger seedlings, and they got all screwed up. Under the leaves...

LOL petrol is $5.50 a gallon here and cigarettes $19 per pack in Australia. Good luck for the future.

The white stuff is just sun scald as above. The new mis-shapen leaves could be old aphid damage, or mites/thrips. Honestly, chillies don't have a problem with lack of ferts or pot size when younger, should be perfectly fine. But bugs and fungus is the biggest problem. Already I have aphids all...
