Anyone germinating chillies yet??

[SoulBroNo1]

Wow, they are massive.

Did you have them under lights?

[Paul Bromley]

yes I used a philips sad light seemed very good just struggling now for what another 8 weeks maybe, they will have taken over the house by then. Neighbours thought I was growing weed ! LOL

Hi,

Started on the 2nd January getting a bit big, praying for warmer weather so they can go outside. I took advice from here and stopped them at about 8 inches and they are side shooting nicely. First attempt so all will probably fall in a heap yet !

They look great Paul!

At this stage, I don't think they will be falling in a heap...

Hi guys, after seeing Paul's plants I'm shamed to puts these dudes up. I sowed mine early Jan and as a result I got extremly leggy seedlings. I've put the best ones in bigger pots and buried them deep, do you think these guys will survive?

[Nicos]

I hope so...they look just like mine!!

Hahaha!! Yes, they can look a bit suspect from a distance! I had a row of pots along the bedroom windowsill one year; a long standing friend of the family and ex-copper was visiting one day, saw them from the patio, and insisted on taking a closer look!

Cheers guys appreciate it I've got some scotch bonnets on the go also but they are a lot smaller lol. Getting 5 plant plugs delivered next month of super hots, Carolina Reaper, White Bhut, 7 Pot Primo and a milder Monkey Face with a surprise plug thrown in, can't wait cheers

Hi All,

Need some guidance, my chillies (jalapeño and ring of fire) are now about 14 inches tall in 5inch pots (sowed 1st Jan), they are destined to be planted into a quad grow type of thing from greenhouse sensations in the greenhouse. Some are trying to fruit I have just noticed, it is still perhaps too cold to put them outside, shall I remove the fruits and save the energy for growth ? …….. HELP !!!!

Don't know about this year's plants - my guess would be that they are perhaps a bit too tender to go out yet. My overwintered Aji Lemon has been out on a north-facing balcony for the last 2 weeks and is loving it there, flowering madly and with a few tiny chillies forming.

I am bringing it in tonight though - the forecast 5C is a bit chilly.

[Philthy]

Hi Paul. Yes, its a bit too early still for a young plant. I'd remove any flowers, and probably nip the tops off the leading stems to encourage the plant to thicken up.

[Philthy]

Still no sign of my Carolina Reaper seedlings. One new variety I'm trying this year is Purple Flash, primarily an ornamental. Its supposed to have almost black foliage, with red/purple veins and streaks through the leaves, and small, black, very hot chillies. 100% germination on those. Also doing chocolate habanero, chocolate brown chillies. Those, plus a mixture of orange, green, yellow, and red; should be very colourful in the GH this year
