Susie, plenty to pick from there to save seed .....you could join the chilli circle Scoot if you pot your toddler in a 160litre tub you may get a fab harvest so you could join the circle too

Can you show us some pics of your construction Bacchus plsOriginally posted by Bacchus View PostI just built little frames for mine from some laths - It really only took half an hour. The lights are hung up on string so it's easy to riase them if needed but I never have as the tall ones just get replaced with short ones as the tall ones graduate to other placesI dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

I had seen that video before, and maybe it's me, but has anyone ever had anything even nearly like those plants with the masses of chillies??Originally posted by Small pumpkin View PostWow that's amazing. Now frantically thinking where can I get bigger pots!
I met that lady at the EGS. I got lots of plants and seeds from her. Very nice helpful lady
I get good harvests, but never anything like that!
As said before, what are they feeding them

I've just watched and am feeling totally inadequate!!Originally posted by Scarlet View PostLove those lights Trip, I really would like some. I'm feeling very left out with all your posh set ups
The chilli plants that gets I pinch out to encourage a bushy plant would be the faster growing varieties. The ones that will give you a decent crop this year. The slower varieties I hope to overwinter, they often don't fruit that well in their first year and don't grow that fast. I often have to prune these during the dormant season. There isn't a hard or fast rule here. It's up to you if you want to pinch them out, some I do, some I think are branching out without help. I often do it with flowers, fushias etc. if you have two plants you could just experiment with one?
Quick video here on pot size - bigger the better

I'd never seen the video before, pretty gobsmacked to be honest. I looked on their website thinking that perhaps the are growing in heated GH's. They say plant in final pots in May. I'm in the South West even my tomatoes are carried indoors some nights in May so leaving tender chillies out then isn't always possible.Originally posted by Tripmeup View Post
I watched a few videos for them to say what "liquid" feed they were using and they don't add to that. My black naga last year didn't manage to produce one chilli

Hopefully this will help a bit - forgive the dodgy photos.
The overall frame - with some trays sitting on top of it too!
The foot - sitting beside a ballast for another light
