Growing Chillies

[paphos-mcfc]

Got some very nice varieties in seed trays, outside in 2 large propagators.

Anyone have any tips on keeping healthy, pest free plants? They are mostly chinense variety and are Super hots. The last thing I want is infestation, and If I can, not to use pesticides.

I have; Red Habenero, Naga Morich, Fatalii, Mustard Habenero, Red Savina, 7 Pod Brain Strain, Bhut Jolokia, Marouga Red, Butch T Trinidads, Scotch Bonnet, Paper Lantern, 7 Pod Jonah, Trinidad Scorpion, Raja Mirch, 7 Pod Douglah, and Asian Birds Eyes.

Blueinkwell is your man

Not sure how much he knows, but I know he grows them.

definitely don't leave them outside.. I tried growing some naga's and they do not like being waterlogged in rain for 6 months with no care at all..

Have you sent thehippyseedcompany a message on Youtube mate? I'm sure you posted that member a couple of years back, I had a tiny obsession with his videos for a time.

He could give you some advice but obviously better suited to Oz and it's climate with it being where he lives.

I'm tired, sorry if I'm stating the obvious or not making sense :p

Haha me too. Yeah I did mate.
Neil knows a lot mate but I don't want to mither him as I didn't buy my seeds from him, and the guy I bought them off in Holland gives limited germination tips only.

Want to be prepared in case the worse comes to the worse and I get pests or disease. PM'd blueinkwell so I'll wait for him to reply.

Easy to grow, just greenhouse or similar and keep them warm. Avoid the cold at all costs.

Cheers mate, it's not the cold I'm worried about. The next month or so it will be warm in the evenings over here, and hopefully by that time, I'll have them in pots outside and out of the propagator.

This is where I worry as they will be open to flies and insects and other pests which at such a young age will kill the plants. Some of the seeds weren't cheap and If I lose all my Fatalii's will I have to wait til next year before I try again?
