This is my final grow list (although I may add one more annuum as previously discussed):   Overwinters Krishna Jolokia Bahamian Goat Brazilian Ghost Cappuccino SB* Carolina Reaper Genghis Khan Brain Habanero Nagabrain Chocolate Nebru 7 PDN x SB7J Orange...

I don't know where I would get that.   Thanks for all the suggestions - what I don't grow this year will go on my list for next year, for sure.

You are so far ahead!  Going to have a brilliant season.

  What's SSE strain?     I grew Large Orange Thai last season but the main plant's stem got snapped in a storm and the smaller plants didn't produce much.  I would try them again but not if it's my "mainstay" annuum for the season.

The plants are in my bedrooms.  I can just about get away with ladybirds (although my other half did get fed up of finding the adults in our bed on numerous occasions) because they are cute but I think parasitic wasps (even though they are tiny) would be crossing the line.   If the caterpillar...

Goats weed seems a very promising candidate, thanks all.

My friend was given some seeds from ebay (supposed to be white bhut jolokia.)  I know, I know - but normally ebay seeds are cayenne or similar.  This is different.        Seeds were light coloured, hence thinking it's not a pubescens.  Friend is an experienced chilli-grower so would surely have...

The way I'm planning to deal with them is keep picking them off by hand for the next 2-3 months until the plants can go outside.  After that, I will allow nature to take its course.  Also trying to keep overwinters and seedlings in separate rooms so hopefully the seedlings won't get affected...

  Do you mean a moth photo?  We might have different ones in the UK from yours in the US.  I don't have any photos of the adult moths because I concentrate on catching them as soon as I see them.  Haven't seen any for a couple of days now.   Not sure if this will post ok but this is one of the...

Havana Gold seedling is forking - my first one of the season. Or maybe its a Guyana Rush -its one of the plants involved in the big label mix up.

Im not totally convinced about removing leaves. Surely the more leaves, the more the plant can photosynthesise and generate energy.

No, there are still moths. Obviously I squish them every time I see them but sometimes they get away, so I fear that there will be another generation of caterpillars.

All the seedlings in pop bottles and porridge pots are currently sitting in the bath having had a good spray with SB Invigorator. Think I will need to do it a few times to get on top of the aphids.

I'll be interested to see whether you think it works or not.  

Loving this thread; it's reminding me why we do it!  Normally by this time of year I have at least some flowers on the overwinters, but this year they've been affected by caterpillars and I have had to cut them back hard and strip the leaves, so I have nothing.  Drastic but I can't risk the...

Thank you very much for the suggestions. I've never heard of Tien Tsins but will look them up to see if I can source them anywhere.

Anyone?

Looking for recommendations.  I am growing various chinenses (mostly hot/superhot), baccatums and one rocoto.  They will most likely take a long time to produce / ripen.  I have already sown a few annuums and was planning to sow another 8 or so more.  However, I have already got far more plants...

Ooh, congratulations!  It looks really good.

Today potted up into pop bottles: PdN x BMJ Guyana Rush x 2 (may be wrongly labelled) Havana Gold (possibly also wrongly labelled) A couple of plants in the first pop bottle batch already have roots showing at the sides which is quite impressive as they have been in there less than a week...
