Tofu, how late are we talking?
I left them a bit late, too but things may come around.
Everything has produced pods/baby pods except for a rather stubborn Brazilian starfish that is a fucking MONSTER for a bucket sized pot with buds that just don't want to break and the same goes for a Neil S...
G'day
Living in Auckland, NZ.
Have a Pubescens (Orange rocoto.. ID unknown) that has been struggling in a rather small-ish pot for a few years now. Been fed and has fruited.. just hasn't really done that great.
Decided to repot the wee bugger today and whilst doing so, I noticed that there...
I haven't been on this forum in a couple of years at least!
Awesome to see a Kiwi chilli thread :)
Growing some seeds again after a couple of years off - didn't know it was illegal to bring the seeds in but it would appear that I got lucky care of THSC.
Got some Douglahs, THSC Neil S scorps...
Sorry, yeah - I was planning on using a germination mat.
Auckland has a pretty cracker climate if you take out Antarctic southerlies and don't want it super dry & hot...
The thing I worry about most are my bananas :( And my chillis! :D
Unless you talk about the political one which is one NZ...
Hi

That's the prediction for the next week and I think our shortest day is the 13th, possibly - so it's likely to stay somewhat similar.
I am thinking about buying...
Welcome from the North Shore of Auckland, brother :D
35 varieties, aye?
A small tip is to not buy your seeds off the non-specific chilli ops - I have had too many crap out.
And germinate June-July :D
That's my knowledge from 2 seasons.
Hmmm, having the Jonah would make sense but I just looked and there's a fairly TSMR looking pod on it too?
Awww I am sick of TSMR.. I learnt my lesson though.
GERMINATE EARLY.
I don't have a straight 7 Pot Red.
It could be a Jonah, a Primo, HP22B? or a Brain out of the seeds I received. Those are the only red 7 Pot strains/non I have!
So, what is THIS? TSMR or Brain?
I'm guessing TSMR...
And what is this?
And this? My guess is a Brain.
And this? TSMY or 7 Pot Yellow? It has to be one of the two.
This? I took a slightly TSMR looking pod off it?
And this? Caribbean Red? Congo Trinidad?
They seem to stop at a particular size.. they stick around seemingly doing nothing and then they ripen.
It's not grow grow grow -> okay, not growth spurt is finished let's immediately start ripening!
But I have some IDs to do later..
One thing I have learnt from chilli growing is to germinate...
They definitely have chinense flowers.
They have a naga shape but they're not bumpy in the slightest.
I did a quick Google search and there are thread titles somewhat similar but I couldn't find the answer!
I bought a black naga plant from a gardening store - A few pods have ripened but they have gone to red.
Is this the first colour change or do I not have a black naga?
I tasted one of the pods when green - they are definitely piquant :D
Nah, I haven't changed anything.
Actually, perhaps they were recovering from a spot of nute burn or the first drop could have been what Eepheus was talking about.
Thanks but, really? 65oF minimum?
My temps are 82oF in the day and 60-65oF at night.
Is that really too little?
That seems quite strange, really.
To be fair though, maybe I'll pay more attention to number 11 :D
