As for your photos.....the image is probably too large.

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

yes i used to top my chillis but as sp said it does seem to slow them down , i havent seen a massive difference when i did it so i dont bother any more either ,those plants are looking great deano ,nice one

what do you feed yours with ? i use canna veg and flora

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!



But Big L

I use this stuff early doors and swear by it!



Not cheap! But does the business!

That will be a snail or a slug....they are crafty, check under the pots, they often get in the drainage holes and hide out there.
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?

Hi Scarlet.

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

Stuff has been happening ( which is why it looks a tip )



Another 6 into their final pots. Them and several others staying in the tunnel for their first night they've all got a fleece blanky

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.
