      Yeah! I stopped topping my chillies too as they never feared well from the chop, and never ever gave me an abundance of fruit after!

      Have managed to pot on a few of mine today, but well under the cosh at work!

        I'd take a trip R this evening with your your H and pick them off then....no doubt you'll find more than one.
        Two snails found and dealt with as appropriate!

          Hi Scarlet.

          I’m trying to post photos off the iPhone camera and not sure how I can lower the resolution. Any ideas?

            I'm guessing iPhone is similar to iPad? I've got a resizing app on my iPad. Any help ?

                    Thanks

                    Two snails found as previous post. Also very small snail when dark last night. Put a beer slug trap in and sprinkled slug pellets around the plants. This morning no further damage.

                    Thanks for all your help.

                        • Wow, wow wow. That’s a lot of very healthy looking chillies. What size pots do you end up in SP?

                            Minimum final pot size is 7lt, biggest pots are 100lt+ and everything in between

                            I think the ones in the photo are about 8lt pot.

                            • Mmmm I’m going to be back for more advice on this I can tell.

                              Mine are just getting to the stage that bigger pots are required.

                                I don't pot on lots of times.
                                As seedlings they go from the heated propagator to a 3" pot. Then from the 3" to a 1 or 2 lt pot. Then into final pot when it's safe for them to go into the tunnel permanently.
