Hey Mate,
I am in the exact same boat. used to grow when i lived in QLD and was somewhat active in here. but been out of it since 2012.
Living in VIC now and a mate just started up so figured i would jump in on a seed order and also dig out the old account.
Feels completely new all over...
Havent noticed any black spots and certainly havent seen any maggots and ive broken a fair few open before throwing them into the garden "never know a seedling might spring up" i have noticed on only a couple a small mark like a pin prick assuming it was some kind of bug but when i broke it open...
Hi Everyone,
I started growing about a year ago and have had relative success, lately the weather has been quite wet and i dont know if this is the reason but my pods have been falling off "or fall off with the slightest breeze bump or movement" before turning ripe. looking closely at the pods...
ok so i know its been a long time since posting but been incredibly busy with getting married, changing jobs and the baby on the way... but i took nees advice and changed soil. got a few pics to show off to.
here is plants the day i changed the soil
here are the plants today, small ones up...
been a little more productive with the grow box. put the extra rungs on for the light fitting and have put the reflective sides on, now just to put a back and a front on. used emergency blankets so can still see in from outside.
o.k. so after i got my new soil i have potted up "from jiffy pelets to cups" 3 plants and they all seem to be thriving in the new soil. i have also taken a few of my older plants from their old soil given them a dust off "not literally" and put them in the new soil. its been a few days and i...
Ok so a few more pods have ripened so figured i would take another shot. outside 2 "far left & far right" funnily enough the far right "left in original pic" has seemed to have grown more since picking it.
to me looks like a hybrid of morouga and something else. if it was just morouga he would have put a higher scoville on the bag. did you ask him what it was?
Hey Guys,
i was given a couple of pepper seedlings from a lady at work. they were just from a generic packet of seeds labeled "chilli". Both of the plants to me look completely different especially the pods so i am guessing there were a few types in the packet. only one of the plants has ripe...
lol ive got a friend from work who lives on a farm giving me "if he remembers" a whole heap of pots that i can pot my plants up into so when i do that i will make sure i use a better quality soil. got myself some more cups today so might try sprouting some more and see how they go without going...
o.k. so i said i would post some pics and i now have a new camera. some of them look a little sad but i took these pics before watering. photos are of all of them then just individual shots of my healthier plants.
first is a group shot of them all
best moruga "only good moruga"
rocoto -...
nah didnt try new potting mix, with everything happening seemed less important. but they are alive and starting to come back so the current potting mix couldnt be all bad next time will definitely try something of a higher quality though.
Ok so i know its been a huge delay in posts but been incredibly busy with the upcoming wedding, changing jobs & finding out the mrs is pregnant... so now that i have bored you with my excuses updates to chilis... 4 or 5 of my plants are going great and seem to be thriving BUT the rest have...
