Thanks. Am hoping for a good crop this year. Never managed to get anything decent off anything hotter than Scotch bonnets and Orange Habs.

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd share a photo of one of my Cayenne plants – they're doing so well in my conservatory! Between two plants I've got 35 chillies and counting I also have lots of Razzamatazz that seem to be keeping me waiting!

wow looking good everyone , i`m having a few probs with mine ,i`ve got quite a few yellow leave and a few brown patches on them not the lovely dark green like some of yours any ideas on what im doing wrong ? under/over watering under/over feeding ? to hot temps ? not enough venterlation ? any advice welcome cheers

[kernowyon]

do you use Epsom salts? yellow leaves could be a Magnesium deficiency.

any pics lebowski?

If they are the bottom leaves, then just pull them off...

9/10 of any chilli related problems I have ever had, have always been due to over watering.

All my plants are in the greenhouse of course, and I am currently watering just twice a week.

THe top inch or so of the compost is usually always bone dry...

heard of them but not used them ,do i need to change the feed im using ? im using a wilko feed that doesnt give have an npk marking on the bottle but i also have a vitalink earth with npk of 2/2/4 ,at the mo im feeding once a week with the wilko one should i change over to the other ?

[chilli_grower]

I am currently using tomato feed diluted at half strength.

I feed this once a week, and then water once a week.

therefore 2 doses of water each week, and thats it.

[the big lebowski]

mine are in the greenhouse too,oh i`ve been watering everyother day so maybe im overwatering ,i`ll look out some pics for you ,cheers

You could just water when the lower leaves start to wilt....
