Here are some of my plants I bought as seedlings 6 weeks ago from B&Q, the English equivelent of Home Depot in the US. First up is a comparison between 2 Habanero plants, the one on the left has been growing under lights, the one on the right has been sitting on a windowsill for 3 weeks...

Thanks jas, much of the credit for the healthy plants goes to those sharing their experiences on the forums, all I do is switch the lights on and off, and throw some water at them occasionally. :wink: The Rocoto broke through the soil 3 1/2 weeks old, the biggest leaf is 2"/5cm wide. I was...

Thanks for all the nice comments and encouragement guys. Below is one of the Bhut Jolokias, 4 weeks after breaking through the soil Two weeks back I seperated the Red Habs, one on a south facing windowsill, and this one has stayed in the growroom. they are both now putting out buds, however...

I also tried pulling the "hat" off a seedling after misting the seed casing failed to work. I pulled too hard and the leaves came off also, the plant was written off as dead. A week later, I noticed the stalk had turned green, and a new leaf was just starting to form The seedling now has a 1cm...

It is a tray that holds the pots together, underneath is another tray holding an absorbant mat. seems to be a good solution for little seedlings.

Welcome from West Cornwall..

Looks like Bhut fluff :lol:

Thanks Aji, Your support is appreciated, I am sometimes tempted to pull the plug and cut my losses, given the late start this year, and the lack of sunshine around here.

No problem bro, the seeds were planted less than 4 weeks ago, so they are not very big, they certainly are handsome, compact looking plants, very regular in size and form. here they are in totality:-

Hello Pepperheads, and welcome to my 2010 growlog. I have grown the occasional chilli plant in the past, this year it has become an obsession - the latest count is around 90 plants!! The growroom is 1x2m, well lit with a mix of fluorescent tubes, fluorescent bulbs and HPS, the temperature seems...

It was something I read in one of these forums over the weekend, but as I am not able to find it again, and because it does not make sense, I would suggest not trying this at home.

I have heard that Scotch Bonnet leaves are edible, in Asia they are stuffed with rice, in much the same way that vine leaves are in Greece, I expect they are either steamed or boiled first before eating.

Thanks for all the welcomes guys.. Look out for my grow log, I am so late in planting seeds this year that I am more in sync with all you chilliheads down under! It is going to kill me to see all your seedlings overtake mine... And just to give you all a laugh, here is my attempt at growing...

Firstly, thanks everyone for sharing your chilli experiences, truly inspirational. I have been reading the forum for a few weeks and have learned much, and hope to learn much more over the coming months... I have been growing chillies indoors since 2001, mostly just a couple of plants on the...
