As mentioned in another thread, I have been growing Bhuts, along with Habaneros and some other younger plants. The Bhuts and Habs are of production age.
The Habs have been going along nicely with good yields. The Bhuts on the other hand, appear to struggle with the heat - and maybe wont really produce much at all until the sting starts to go out of summer.
However, I have decided to try the shadecloth approach to see if it helps at all (I doubt it coz I have some Bhuts in the shade almost all day and they haven't produced anything either, so...).
First of all, these are the temps we have been experiencing here in Perth this summer...
Here are photos of the setup. This area of the yard is in almost full sun for most of the day.
as you can see, some of the plants have become a bit one-sided due to spending the last few months up against a wall. Hope to fix eventually.
