    Hello all, been a while since i last posted but i've been skulking around in the background..
    so an update from me, my grow room has been working overtime producing over 400 saleable plants which have been given to local charitable causes for fundraising purposes. Now im starting my own plants off this season and the growings great still this year. We have even seen some fruit already produced ripened and consumed already.
    So how are your chillis doing this season?
    hope to speak to you all soon!

      Your lemon drop could also be named Aji Limo if it's of any help joolz, depends, there are 2 different varieties of aji both named lemon drop depending on who the original seed came from. I cant wait to try my first Dedo de moca, A brazillian landrace species with a beutiful flavour but absolutely no heat and a c.Baccatum so pretty easy growing!! Pam did you manage to get the Fatalii seeds I put in the parcel for you?

      Some of my Cayennes are now over 200mm high and have flower buds and the others are about 100 - 150mm high.

        How did yours germinate, mine popped in about 3 days in the heated prop with cfl lighting and are doing quite well although like most chinenses are taking theyre sweet time to develop a good root system!

        Scrungee have the flower buds begun to show through, are you planning to pull the first lot whilst green to develop the plants furthermore?
