THE CHILLIES THREAD 2018

I keep my chillies in the house until June , when they go in the GH . I only keep 2 chillies as they grow so big , and give the rest away. From July I feed every 2- 4 weeks with Tom feed. I also hold back the watering to let them wilt a couple of times . This is occasionally intentional but mainly in error I understand this "standardises " the flavour , so you don't have one hot one bland one hot etc..but who knows if this works

 

webmaster is the one to advise on chilli's do a search and see how many he grows

Two of the ‘Apache’ are up. Eight days after sowing, pleased with that

 

Lots of my seedlings are doing well. This is some of them.

 

These are some of my seedlings so far...View attachment 98413

 

Mine are nice and cosy in the bijou light-box, precariously balanced between the end of my desk and the bookcase . Just pricked out 6 each of Jalapeño and Tokyo Hot (Cayenne type ). I'll only grow two on in the greenhouse . The others will be orphaned off too good homes.

 

Coin Jardiner mot de la semain á Harold que dit..

 

my seedlings seem fairly happy...

 

Sorry Zigs never did German at school . Just French and Latin , and not seen a Roman in Wigan for 1900 years

 

The first of the ‘De Cayenne’ are up

 

Make that four, 100% germination

 

The cherry peppers that my naughty Russian gardener friend sent me are up

 

My Jalapeno Peppers under LED are starting to blossom!!
The first small green fruit are starting to appear.

I was surprised to see how LED grow lights keep the plants dense and bushy.

I can't wait to eat it on a good homemade pizza

@Scrungee , I need (I think) to pot on the seedlings on the left. I would normally put them in 3” pots. I’m wondering if I’d be better off putting them in something smaller?



Maybe a bit of root restriction is in order.

What do you reckon?
