toomanytommytoes, annie8, SP & 4shoes mystery chilli growing

[Small pumpkin]

You're as much of an expert as I am
That's all I'm doing looking for slight differences in leaf shape, colour, stem and hairiness.
I'll probably be proven wrong when they've grown up. They'll probably all be sweet peppers

First of the mystery chillies in it's final pot

[annie8]

Wow. Looking good. I have no idea how big the final pots for mine will be. Been getting a bit concerned that they aren�t really growing much. All still in their first pot in the house. What do you think? Is there something I should be doing - apart from being a bit more patient!

[Small pumpkin]

Don't worry I've got quite a few that don't seem to be growing at all. In fact I'm getting close to composting some of them . I probably won't because I'm soft and they're chillies .
They are all looking good. Front row second from the right looks interesting well to me anyway.

Here are my six. The tidgy one had a curious stem rot half way up; thought it was a gonner but it's made an excellent recovery.

They're looking good.
I might boar you all with a few more photos of some of mine later

[toomanytommytoes]

Please do

Think mine are all Capsicum annuum. Hopefully the hairy one is a Goat's Weed or interesting Jalapeno, as Mitzi suggested.

Here's the first two that germinated out of all of them and the only two tiny seeds to germinate.



I've got a few like this



One of the purple ones



One of the hairy one. Only got a couple of these.

This one is one of the biggest I've got and flowering. I thought it was quite interesting. I thought the leaves looked a bit darker, longer and pointier than normal. But looking at that baby inside the flower it's looking very sweet pepper like now, but will wait and see.



I've got a few of these as well. The refusal to grow brigade . Standard plant label for scale.

So using my highly scientific method of categorising based on seed colour and size this is what I have got.

Pic 1 - med to large bright yellow seeds
Pic 2 - 2 on left were medium darker yellow. 2 on right medium yellow with red tinge
Pic 3 - the medium yellows. Some of them look quite different from each other.
Pic 4 - small yellow seeds
Pic 5 - two on left tiny yellow on right are tiny brown.
Pic 6 - medium orange. This includes the one that started with dark leaves. The newer leaves are just dark around the edges
Pic 7 - 2 from the seed dust. Must have been tiny seeds. On the right some where I got mixed up when potting on. Not sure what they are - done are small yellow I think.

They're all looking good. It's getting quite exciting watching them develop their own personalities.
Looking forward to seeing if I can actually identify any of them when they have pods on.

[annie8]

Yes there is some variation between them Is it leaf size and shape that is the main things to look out for?

[annie8]

Noticing a bit of yellowing on the leaves in the last week. Must watch that. Assuming it might be a watering issue. Have been trying to let them dry out between watering but did notice last night some were really dry. It’s awkward I think to manage when they are still in such small pots. Feels like they could do with a bit of a compost refresh.

At the moment while they're all still quite small. Then hopefully you'll get some variation in flowers. White, white with a bit of green, purple. And if they flower single or in clusters.

Repot in fresh compost or start giving them a weak feed. Feeding full strength once they start flowering.
Lots of mine started yellowing, but have improved a lot after being repotted and moved to the tunnel.
There probably not appreciating being in the tunnel today though. It's a bit cooler that it has been. They've had their fleece on all day.
