anyone know how you can stop this?
Ive lost half my chillis and capsicums to this atm...ive sprayed the plants with pyrenthins for now... to stop it, quite frustrating
I noticed some little butterflies landing on the outside of my C. Pubescens pods today and became suspicious of them. Last season I lost a number of pods to caterpillars that appeared to eat their way into the pods.
Have you considered placing bags around some of your pods to see if it stops the caterpillars from getting into them?
Just what I was gonna say.
Hit up your local el cheapo store and look for those organza gift bag type dealies.
Great thing about 'em is the pull-tie/drawstring. Makes life just that little bit easier.
I think harry has been using that one.
Any of you guys ever used Nitrosol? I used it last week, and so far so good. I bought it because it has more nitrogen and potassium, and less phosphorus. Harved recommended dosage as per usual.
Amgrow Nitrosol is my primary fertiliser. The Capsicum Pubescens plants respond well to it:
(Not) Locato No2 - Pod Action
I use it at 1/8 of the full dose due to my watering frequency (less water but more often). In the past season when the plants lasted a few days between waterings I used it at quarter strength.
and its not even ripe yet!!!.
ive actually already had pods this season. 3 teeny tiny little orange habs. they were awesome. nice heat, and tasted really good. none of the metallic taste or anything.. shame none of them had seeds as they would have been awesome to try and grow. the biggest one was not as nig as my thumb nail.

it certainly wasnt 10 000 i can eat jalapenos etc and they are around there
Lol j , m8 eat a fatalli or better yet a yellow 7 that will light ur arse up , will also make u c through time lol with a gr8 taste 
, just keep eating the carrots it will help u build a tolerance to get up to the hot stuff , or do what I did eat the biggest bhut u can find and nothing will be hot ever again !
But done get me wrong be proud of ur pod ! U made it that's what counts

Could be a different heat you are not acclimated to. New pods can catch you a little off guard sometimes, even if they're not supposed to be that hot. Just keep munching 'em and you'll be hammering 'em without flinching in no time.
M8 pm me and I'll drop u sum little heat beads off if u like next time I'm down that way , they r only small but pack a punch I think it's the weather
Yeah, my Fish is pumping as well. First time growing it though so I don't know what to expect.
Don't worry your not alone, I had some thai chilli the other day that was hotter then I could handle, and I'm about to start eating Bih jolokia's. 
I think my tolerance has gone down over the winter. Well I think the best solution to this problem is jump in head first.
I have a small Rocoto that I had forgotten to give any Nitrosol. Will be interested to see how well it goes now, so far it has been a very slow grower.
