Fwwoah...An explosion of Douglah's. This is a new recent event. I have switched to total organic ferts about 4 weeks ago or more and the results are awsome to say the least.
Ok, looks like I beat the little fury sh!ts at last.
Heres how:-
Cut up some steak pieces and spiked them with Blairs Ultra Death 2020 edtition sauce. Scattered it around. It wasn't long before nearly every cat in the street came round and sampled some.
I could see one cat sitting on the side...
OK - fixed one of the plants. Epsom salts did the trick as new leaves started shooting on the bare stem days after applying. The wilting scorpion is still in trouble though - and a total mystery as there are no bugs and the roots are white.
I find feeding them makes em into little sluggers. Sulphate of potash makes em bright colored and angry. My sizzlers are well watered and in semi shade. My orange Habs are close to 7 pod in sting factor.
I could be wrong, but I recon a sick stressed plant isn't going to produce capciacin...
I got the info from the business owner of the website i posted the link to. Yeah i tried googling cherade and got lost.
Still. ....I got the picture and "a" name
buy one - will be cheaper than 50 cents and contain a motherload of seeds in them. They grow "realy" easy. I have dozens of plants growing from one pod i broke open straight onto the ground.
Trinidad scorpions have the facts on their side. Done properly and consistantly but several sources- they rule the roost here on an easy win of 1,191,000 consistant Scoville Units.

Found out where they come from. Sold to Woolworths by:- http://www.austchilli.com.au/index.aspx?page=11
The manager is kind enough to send me some info and pictures etc today sometime. I'll keep you all posted.
Anyone seen those round ball chillis at woolworths. Im keen to know what breed they are. Im quite fond of them in my salad. And there really easy to grow. Some one told me there atomic hearts. Can anyone varify?
Cheers
This is a bit of a mystery. Bond Ma Jaques is shedding leaves after doing so well. And Trinidad Scorpion is wilting dispite getting enough water and fert.
Any ideas boys and girls?
