Temps are now above 10c overnight, autopots turned on
Anyone else had much success with autopots ?

Good Afternoon all you lovely people,

I've been lurking here a while and debating whether to ask or not, but ChatGPT is useless when compared to the hive mind.

I purchased some seeds a while back from Red Dragon Seeds, and recieved a mystery pack of seeds which has given me this lovely plant, however i've not a clue what variety it is. Would anyone be able to give me an idea of what is growing on my windowsill?

I've taken photos of the fruit, leaf and a budding flower(no open ones atm) and can provide more images if helpful.

Many thanks 🫡

Hey guys! New chilli guy here!

Despite the sparse leaf canopy the fruits are glossy and gorgeous 🥰

Guys, advice needed. This Aurora chilli seedling is 15 weeks or so old but still tiny, just these two small true leaves. It’s barely grown in months. Any hints what’s wrong?

Re potted my chilli 🌶. Hope it's not to late.

Hey everyone,

just wanted to ask what you think about my chili plants 🌶️

They seem to be growing pretty well, but they already started flowering and I’m not sure if that’s normal or too early 🤔

Do you think I should leave the flowers on or remove them for now?

Would love to hear your opinions and any tips you might have 😄

Also, don't worry, I kept moving them to places that has lots of light and I ordered a grow light online to not move them around the place so much (it's impractical in practice and I had to watch over them at times if I take them to the outdoors for the sun). The grow light should be on its way.

Grown in Australia! Yellow chilli is a Scotch Bonnet. Chocolate...?

This week’s chilli haul from our village garden in Botswana 🌶️🇧🇼

Hi there, not sure if first post worked, apologies if this doubles!

Looking for help and advice. Got six small plants, all treated the same, warm sunny windowsill with no drafts.

Allowed to dry between watering, water once, maybe twice a week with a small amount of tomato feed every couple weeks. What is this one trying to tell me? Has it become waterlogged somehow? Contemplating taking it out of the pot to see what it looks like beneath the surface, but worried this will cause more damage.

One of the six had some greenfly so been removed and is getting treated, none of the other five show any signs...

Any and all help gratefully received! 😊

(Beginner) They get 4 hour sunlight in the morning and move them indoors at 10:30am to sustain the remaining light hours… thoughts?

As the title says. I live in the middle of a city without a garden and try to grow a Madame Janette and a Carolina Reaper.

These sweethearts are growing in a 40cm x 40cm grow tent.

Only two plants will survive because there is not that much place in it.

Is the humidity okay?
Normally it is somewhere in the 65% (it dropped after opening the box).

First time grower posing possibly a stupid question.

Having started a few different plants due to the passion of my girlfriend in growing I’ve noticed that 3 of my chilli plants have mushrooms starting to grow. None of the other plants (tomatoes, courgettes, cucumber, basil) have this even though they’ve used the same compost.

Firstly I’m wondering if anyone would know why and secondly if I should remove them?

Growing indoors at the moment at a minimum of 20oC in southern uk.

These are naga red, habanero burkina yellow and hot lemon if that helps.

3rd picture is my chocolate habanero which has no mushrooms but I’m just super happy with it!

Any support welcome

Hiiii, I just had this batch of seeds sprouted a few days ago. I'm still pretty new amd this is my first time getting my seeds to the sprouting stage. These are bird's eye chilis, planted straight from the seeds of the parent fruits brought from a store on the side of the road.

I remember that the first two sprouts were standing kinda straight, but now they're kinda bendy. Idk what's going on and if this is normal. I even removed the cover that comes with this container to let them grow taller since some of them hit the ceiling.
