    Looks quite healthy to me, so I would imagine it will fruit soon and in multiples...
    I was using a cotton bud stick thingy at first and then started to just shake the plant every day a couple of times.

    I'll try it in the blow away now.

          • Ive never bought from them...but I don't like to chance it sometimes they come from China. I would try a decent chilli seed supplier. Why don't you bag some unopened buds on your chillies and join our chilli seed swap go on.....

              I would do if my chilli flowers on the one plant i have would stop falling off. How exacly does the chilli seed circle work. I've had a read about it but find it a little confusing. Do i send some seeds in and once ive done that can ask for other chilli seeds?

              • I don't eat chillies but somehow I have 10 plants and 2 sweet peppers



                Some came with those £1.99 plant offers and 3 unnamed ones were freebies from H0mebase.

                This one "Loco" was so pretty I bought it for a £1!! Last of the big suspenders, me

                  • It's early days yet for some of the chillies toset fruit...we didn't have a great Spring! Get the cotton wool bud ot, move it around or out into your GH to get some pollination going.

                    1. As for the seed circle"...save 1 variety of chilli seed.

                    (Make sure you bag your flowers or just keep one variety inthe GH/ bedroom windowsill. Try hard not to get any crosses...I'm growing a Facing heaven at the moment unfortunately whoever saved them didn't make sure the seed was pure. It's really disappointing to grow something for 6 months to find out its a rogue! )
                    2. Save enough seed to bag up 12 bags x 6 seeds. ( Total seed required approx 72)
                    3. Send the 12 bags to me with a SAE for the return seeds.

                    The number depend on how many grapes are still in the circle by October/November. If there's 12 grapes, you need 72seeds, if there are 15grapes you will need 90 seeds.
                    In return you wil recieve a pack of seeds from each grape in the chilli circle.... I'm hoping at least 12 of us can manage to save at least one variety. That's 12 chilli varietes!

                      • Loco is an F1. The others are Apache F1 and a Red Habanero and 3 unknowns.
                        I don't think there's anything savable there.
                        Susie, I have no idea what 'm going to do with the chillies - they scare me - and they're all fruiting

                            I see. Well if my numex twilight ever decides to stop just dropping all it's flowers, I'll bag a few flowers have try and save the seeds. I'm not promising anything mind due to me not getting past the flower stage yet.

                                I have used them for veggie seeds no issues but never chilli seeds......I have used a 'reputable'. U.K. Chilli person and been bitterly disappointed.......Premier seeds seem to be very well accepted as being a decent quality no frills supplier......
                                I don't have spare seeds for satans kiss but I am growing one plant......it was a very late starter and is only small but is starting to show flowers developing......ill try and either isolate for seeds or send a pod or two if it does produce if that helps :-)
