Hi guys, Well it's been quite a while since I've posted here. I've been growing these damn frustrating superhots for about 3yrs now and only now having a little success What seems to happen with my seedlings is that they germinate and I get cotyledon leaves and then a very small true leaf, And...

So getting things going here just waiting for seeds to start popping up, been two weeks now so cant be much longer, fingers crossed. I overwintered a T Scopion that didnt perform at all well just dropped leaves and flowers all summer and only got a few pods off of it. So come winter i kind of...

Hi guys. I've Been looking around at a few soil suppliers for potting mix and noticed some do what they call azalea & camellia mix. They advertise it has a ph of 5.5 - 6.0 I was thinking of getting some mixing in some perlite and shoving a chilli or two in it. Anyone done this or any thoughts...

hi guys, i have a couple of 1st year Bhuts and scorpions in the ground that didnt produce a single fruit this year. Plenty of flowers that all dropped. I put this down to the brutally hot summer we had this year. What iv'e read here is these plants do better in their seconed year and was...

Thought i might add some photos and get some feedback on my plants. Bhut Jolokia looking pretty sad. Hardly any leaves but some ripe pods that set before xmas. Very few leaves, the odd flower now and again but they all drop. Not in picture but plant is shaded by a beach umbrella in the...

Hey guys, thanks for the info. Nova and Micca theres a couple of options iv'e been looking for will give one or the other a try. Went to Soils aint Soils to find out about the azalia camilia mix. Guy i spoke to said the ph was 6.5 which seems high even for azalias & camilias which got me to...

The potting mix im using is called GreenGrub no fertilizer content listed on bag. current ph is 7 so if 6 is good then im still too high This is my first year of superhots and i have made mistakes, after searching through here and asking questions i've figured out that i have over watered over...

i dont know the answer that. Thats what i thought about the Azalia mix, not much info. Would have to go and test it myself, if they would let me. Reading what it's made of i dont think it would drain very well and not dry out. Will have to go and check it out. Cheers Kevvy

Hi guys dont want to hi jack this but this is the best place to ask as we're all in OZ and especially the Perth guys. i have a couple of plants in less than average cheap potting mix and the chillis aint doin too well, i got a few pods but nothing to write home about. Mostly dropped flowers and...

Cheers guys.

i have one Bhut Jolokia plant that has a few pods on that are starting to colour. right now they are a bright orange. im wondering if they will go red or darker orange or what. im looking for the right time to harvest the pod for maximum heat and flavour and also the best way to store it until i...

Your spot on there. I am using a generic potting mix, and trust me wont be using again. Pulling the plants seems a bit drastic as i do have about a dozen peppers on each plant, and i would like to get a few ripe peppers this year. I think i Will try and nurse these ones through and make a much...

They are some awesome looking ribs. i wish i could get some like that here. The rubbish that gets passed off as meat here is a disgrace. Cant get the cuts to do ribs like that or pulled pork or beef. :banghead:

Thanks for all the advice guys. Heres what i did today. i got some cheap beach umbrellas and have them set up to shade the plants during the hottest part of the day. Next i drilled more drain holes in the bottom of the pot that previously had none just five along the bottom edge. No water for...

This is an all too familiar problem on this site but im really becoming frustrated and sad at the performance of my plants. After reading countless posts on chilli growing and trying many of the suggested remidies,no matter what i do nothing seems to work. My problem is i have a Bhut Jolokia...

This may get long but im a bit confused as what to do with my plants as far as fertilizer, trace elements, water etc. i have gone through the search function here and have done some things that seem to be common to most growers but mostly am confused. These are my best plants at the moment a...

your right buck it is a low and wide about 30cm high and 40cm wide. Grows well in pots too. Cheers Kevvy

Hi everyone it's been a while since my last visit so i thought i might do a bit of an update. The summer is off and running here and i have some new plants and some that got through the winter. Planted a few scorpions and some bhuts late last year, too late for them to mature, so i nursed them...
