Growing Chillies

[ob]

If they're indoors he'll have to do the job of a bee by pollinating them himself. Rub the pollen gently around inside the flower with your finger or a small paint brush. Job done. (some will still drop though.)

yea mate indoor will give that a go, someone told me to shake it gently and rub leaves together, will give your idea a go, cheers

What about your chillies?

Sounds good mate, you have them in a greenhouse? Your hot wax can be smoked and dried then added to food for an amazing flavour and kick.

Yeh in a greenhouse in a south facing garden so they get plenty of sun

Using the chili focus feed from the south devon chili farm and they have done much better this year

Have chilli focus myself but alternate every other week to a tomato food you get over here which is high in phosphates. Give them a bit of lemon juice in the water too just to make the soil a little more acidic. As you can see, they're growing out of control.

As yours are baccatum and annum you'll get your fruits a lot earlier than mine (Chinense)

focus is cheaper from netponics.com (through amazon) FYI

Bhut Jolokias are looking good, I've only got five on the go this year but not as big as yours, they are in smaller pots as that's all I can fit on my window ledge but got about six fruit already.
