As the title says. I live in the middle of a city without a garden and try to grow a Madame Janette and a Carolina Reaper.
These sweethearts are growing in a 40cm x 40cm grow tent.
Only two plants will survive because there is not that much place in it.
Is the humidity okay?
Normally it is somewhere in the 65% (it dropped after opening the box).
Grown in Australia! Yellow chilli is a Scotch Bonnet. Chocolate...?
Hi there, not sure if first post worked, apologies if this doubles!
Looking for help and advice. Got six small plants, all treated the same, warm sunny windowsill with no drafts.
Allowed to dry between watering, water once, maybe twice a week with a small amount of tomato feed every couple weeks. What is this one trying to tell me? Has it become waterlogged somehow? Contemplating taking it out of the pot to see what it looks like beneath the surface, but worried this will cause more damage.
One of the six had some greenfly so been removed and is getting treated, none of the other five show any signs...
Any and all help gratefully received! 😊
Also, don't worry, I kept moving them to places that has lots of light and I ordered a grow light online to not move them around the place so much (it's impractical in practice and I had to watch over them at times if I take them to the outdoors for the sun). The grow light should be on its way.
This week’s chilli haul from our village garden in Botswana 🌶️🇧🇼
First time grower posing possibly a stupid question.
Having started a few different plants due to the passion of my girlfriend in growing I’ve noticed that 3 of my chilli plants have mushrooms starting to grow. None of the other plants (tomatoes, courgettes, cucumber, basil) have this even though they’ve used the same compost.
Firstly I’m wondering if anyone would know why and secondly if I should remove them?
Growing indoors at the moment at a minimum of 20oC in southern uk.
These are naga red, habanero burkina yellow and hot lemon if that helps.
3rd picture is my chocolate habanero which has no mushrooms but I’m just super happy with it!
Any support welcome
Hi, im having this issue with Cayenne yellows. The end of the leaves being like this only started today, there were no signs of it yesterday. However the droopy/weak/curled up leaves have been present for a week now. I have been watering them once a day with what i’d say is a reasonable amount of water, i definitely wouldntve considered it as too much. But i stopped watering them 2 days ago to see whether too much water is the issue, as i read everywhere that overwatering is the main mistake of new chilli growers. However the droopiness remained and now the end of the leaves look like this. For additional info, the top of the soil is dry, but if i dig 1-3cm deep its moist, not wet, not dry, but moist. I have also pruned off 3 leaves if that changes anything. They are kept in a greenhouse during the day where temperatures have been 46°C today and 40°C on average during the last week, but i bring them into my room overnight (sunny window) where its about 22°C.
Any advice please?
These can go to a deep orange colour but are fine picked at yellow.
Hi guys,
so I startet 10 different chilli’s totalling over 30 pots in early march. I‘m using a grow light since the first plants popped out and even added a fan last week. But my chilli’s just won’t take off and start growing a bit taller. I know they are growing slow at the beginning stages but man it’s been so many weeks. Originally I planned to take them outside by the end of may but by now I don’t think they will make it.
Am I missing something? Are my plants even in a healthy state? I would appreciate any advice!
Hiiii, I just had this batch of seeds sprouted a few days ago. I'm still pretty new amd this is my first time getting my seeds to the sprouting stage. These are bird's eye chilis, planted straight from the seeds of the parent fruits brought from a store on the side of the road.
I remember that the first two sprouts were standing kinda straight, but now they're kinda bendy. Idk what's going on and if this is normal. I even removed the cover that comes with this container to let them grow taller since some of them hit the ceiling.
These are the leaves of my cayenne pepper plant. The leaves are more yellow than the rest and look burnt at the top (orange-reddish tint). i water when the soil is dry and i give it tomato fertilizer (mainly phosphorus and sodium (Na)) which ive heard is also good for pepper plants. is this a disease? my other pepper plant has the same thing but my tomato plant doesn't, all these plants have the same soil. the soil hasnt gotten changed since august. also none of my pepper plant give any fruit. the leaf is from a one year old plant that produces flowers that get pollinated but it never gives any fruit. i have posts on my profile about this too. any advice is appreciated.
The Papa Dreadie Scotch Bonnet
A thing of legend.
I am looking for original seeds or stable crosses from the Papa Dreadie genetic lineage, unfortunately I cannot find these in stock online.
The objective is a dedicated preservation and refinement project. This is not a casual grow; it is a mission to develop and stabilize these specific traits, select for the most resilient phenotypes, and ensure the lineage remains viable for future generations.
The work requires diverse starting material to maintain genetic health while selecting for the distinct profile Papa Dreadie established.
If you have any knowledge, verified seeds or stock that belong in this preservation effort, please reach out.
I’ve got a mix of choc habs and Chinese volcano. Grown from seed here in the UK. Started around Christmas. I potted on from seedling, and potted on again to their final spots outside ( with fish blood and bone, chicken manure pellets and perlite). I’m down south; temps have been fine for a while, maybe a little cold at night but no nothing below 3C, needed the space back inside the house.
I’m getting the leaves turning a lighter green, and can’t figure out what’s going on. Over watering ?
I’ve grown stuff like this for years down south. Orange habs, Armageddons, jalapeños etc never seen this.
I put him outside without much hardening off because I got sick of keeping too many plants inside so he got pretty bad sunburn. But it's comming back now and the shape looks pretty cool,I think
Got ChatGPT to design me some plant lables for this season that I can print at home. Pretty decent design 👌
