Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
overwintering Winter-Summer in OZ "Comparison" / Aussie Blabberers

It's not the size of the pot that matters, it's how it is used......
My guess is wasps. The mutant hybrid awrsome kind what i want seeds from.
Sure thing. Give me a few days to let some seeds dry out and I'll whack 'em in the post soon, or you can take your chances with some I saved last season that have been sitting out in the open and are now caked in dust?
I have to warn you first too though, the plants suffered a bit of what appeared to be BLS at one stage there so you might want to treat them first before sowing.
What Nova said.
Aye!
Just out of curiosity too, are those some of the plants that had the nute lockout issue a little bit back? If so, looks like you've pulled 'em through it pretty damn well.
Fo' shizzle! But only if you have enough to spare a couple. The "Wasps" I have coming outta my ass (as you can see)... 
Damn Gas, that's a big'n!
How's the weather been up your neck o' the woods Nova? Not so great here so far!
Yes well my Peach Bhut has not even produced yet. Have faith tho, i haz purple and white too.

Damn Gas, I thought I had alot of pods growing, then I see your wasps.
I've been away, cameback to find that someone had somehow changed one of my plants.
My Orange Habanero looked completely different. It had doubled in size and because of all the new smaller leaves it looks so different.
This is what is looked like a month ago
now
Yellow Hab
2 x TS butch T still looking good
& 2 x Asian birdseye

I give my excess away to friends and people a work. My theory is that if you have a crappy season and get no Chilli then maybe someone else might have a good one and maybe they can give some back
Micca
Boom!
First Doogie developing:
Just hope it doesn't drop now....
Hey Gas those Wasps are lookin damn fine. You are going to be loaded!!!
Mine have just started to flower so hope it sets some fruit.
Micca
That's right, you're growing the Wasp too, aren't you, Micca (or were you talking about the Douglah)? If so, definitely keep me posted on how yours turn out. My two plants (especially the "yellow" ones) are seriously the strangest behaved chillies I have grown. The "yellow" one has changed colour and shape several times now during it's life.
Loaded? That's an understatement! Both plants are on their third (or is it fourth now--I can't keep track!) round of production this season. Wish I had kept track of how many pods I have harvested so far but I reckon I'll fetch 1,000 from each plant by the time the season is up. They do fairly well in their first season but overwinter them if you really want to see some magic.
And speaking of colour/shape changes and another round of production, the "yellow" one has decided to change again this round:
Different shape, lighter colour (wondering if this lot is gonna be yellow again)... and that's while there are some of the previous shape/colour pods still hanging there! Bizarre, I tell ya....
I've been away, cameback to find that someone had somehow changed one of my plants.
"Someone changed something," literally or figuratively? Mine always seem to do much better for some reason when I'm not around.... I really get the feeling they don't like being watched.
(No kidding!)Nonetheless, looking good!
No doubt in my mind that it's an unstable hybrid (maybe not initially last season when the pods first came out wrong but that's another story--and I'm a little more learned and wiser now.
)Don't forget my tip on overwintering.
Just over 3 weeks from that hailstorm on Christmas Day, things starting to look a bit better.
The TS Butch T's look to have recovered, might start seeing some flowers being pollinated within the next week
Asian Birdseyes going nuts, as they always do. They didn't seem to be hit by the hail at all, I guess the angle of the hail may have missed them.
Lots of flowers, lots of pods... close up of Asian Birdseye
And I've just fired up the compost tea brewer for a run overnight, will need to use it tomorrow night.

(Just a repeat of my glog update tonight can't be assed writing another one)
Well I really can't figure my plants as yet. They had recovered nicely but after a sunday dose of pH corrected Fulvic and Kelp in the soil and a further foliar application of fulvic, kelp and Neem they have started to have the dreaded random yellowing and leaf drop again. I am now suspecting overwatering in some and others being root bound in there 9.5 litre buckets. Might be time to bite the bullet and try to upsize some plants into 14.5 litre-20 litre buckets (the 20 litre buckets are actually cheaper and straight sided from bunnings so will take up less/same amount of room as currently)
Here are some pics of tonights pods (small amount)
1st Jalapeno HTM pod
Jalapeno and yellow 7pot/pod
A selection
Jalapeno HTM again
Cheiro Do Norte 1st pods
Hot fish peppers
Nice Gas and Milkman way to go
Sorry and Harry ... nice updates all round ....

Hot fish I would describe as Juicy with a capsicum/sweet slightly fruity taste and not that hot (a little stingy heat in there) I would put the heat around Aji Yellow so it does have some bite just not lots.
Great producer as well considering it has been rootbound and having issues for a while now.
Keen to sink my teeth into the Do Norte's and Jalapeno. The Cheiro Do Norte have the most amazing smell (considering they are not cut open yet)
