Just found some of my seedlings looking like this. Could someone please tell me what this is to save me having to search, as I have to prepare for my daughter's birthday party and am a bit short on time? Thanks.

Hi folks, wondering if someone might have an idea why a load of my seedlings seem to not be able to hold their heads up? For info, all planted on January 31st, sprouted between February 4th and 8th (pretty quick, I reckon), humidity dome removed on 11th, and since then they have had a light...

Since the only place I have with enough space to germinate my seeds is in my uninsulated attic, and I didn't want to spend a fortune either heating the whole room or buying a grow tent, I got myself a cheap, indoor greenhouse and wrapped a rescue blanket around it. Seems to work ok so far. I...

Hi Folks, sorry if this has already been asked, but I can't find the info anywhere. I've been removing excess branches to prevent new growth and encourage my existing peppers to ripen, and started wondering whether photosynthesis plays a part in ripening, or is only required for plant growth? If...

The title says it all, really :flamethrower:. If I have posted this thread in the wrong section, would one of the mods please put it where it belongs? Thanks, and enjoy the article :hotsauce:. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67172726

Hi Folks, got another one which I'm trying to ID, but it's from a respectable online company this time, not from the local hobby grower. Looks like a seed just crept into the wrong packet 🤔. It's supposed to be capela yellow, but from what I've read, they are small and have a good deal of heat...

Hi Folks, I have a Fuego pod here with little black dots on it. Anybody recognise the problem? I have had about 6 or 7 other chilies from the plant, and they were all OK. This one has split, so it may just be over ripe, but I don't want to take a chance without checking. Apart from some...

Got yet another one from my local hobby grower which I think may have been mis-identified 🤔 . She had it labelled as "Azteco", which after some serious googling, I decided must be Black Aztec in English. I have already harvested and enjoyed quite a few of these, but I left the pods I had...

Hi Folks, the private seller I bought a few plants from sure doesn't seem to have much of a knack for getting the names right, although I must admit to being impressed with the plants themselves. Now that my "Pazeko" plant has a few decent sized pods on it, I'm hoping there might be a chance of...

Hi folks. These 'shrooms just popped up overnight in the pot to keep my Ballito pepper company. Is there symbiosis going on here, or should I dig them out of there?

Hey folks, does anybody out there recognise this plant? The woman I bought it from had written "Valgin" on the pot - well her penmanship wasn't the best, but that was my closest guess - but I can't find mention of it anywhere online. The fruits have been hanging for about 10 days now and haven't...

The plant pictured is supposed to be a Trinidad Scorpion, but unless the pods drastically change shape as they grow and ripen, I think someone changed the plant tag in the shop. Could anyone either please confirm this, or otherwise? Thanks.

Hi Dudes and Dudettes. Since a lot of my seedlings were growing too slowly for my liking, I decided to try and build my own hydroponic system, just for shits and giggles. Since I didn't really have the things I needed to do it properly, I adapted a youtube tutorial where the guy used a bucket...

Hi Guys. Got this plant about three weeks ago from a local hobby grower. I absolutely HAD to have one with black(ish) leaves, so even though it was a bit leggy, I took it because it was the last specimen of this type which she had (and it cost me next to nothing 😉). So far, nothing is happening...

Hi Folks, I tried overwintering a few plants for the first time last year, but after being moved into a warmer room and exposed to more light, they still aren't showing any new growth after about 3 weeks or so. Being an absolute beginner, I have no idea how to tell just by looking at the plants...

Hi folks. New member here, so thanks for having me :hi:. Stuart Findlay is the name, better known as Fin. I'm Scottish, but have lived in Germany for just over 30 years now. I have always loved chillis but only started planting my own a few weeks ago, so looking forward to learning how to be...
