Seeds? You can get them off ebay if you're desperate..
I'll hopefully have some dorset nagas sprouting soon...got them in jiffy peats.. they're taking their sweet time though.

hotter the plant, the longer the germination time.

Ill 2nd the ebay thing. Its where i actually got one of mine from. I have 2 different naga plants. One is mature, one is tiny but planted and growing.

I'll look into ebay. I had just heard some bad reports from people about seeds not germinating/not arriving/not as described.

I planted these little beggars about 8 days ago.

15 peat pellets, 2 seeds each, 9 sprouted. Can't wait to transplant them out of their nursery and start seeing them grow. wootwootwoot

I love eating chilli and this thread is making me want to grow some

ScrumpyJim · 9th November 2010, 6:31 PM

I noticed some chillis showing up on my plants today.

Dopefish · 14th November 2010, 4:00 PM

Got so many chilli's sprouting up everywhere these days.

I decided to pop one of the 'fire cracker' chilli's into my mouth off the tree, damn
it was at full potency bit of a nose run and some strong burning.

Definitely a decent strength one.
Bhut jolokia's have not sprouted yet, though. Bit of a worry for me.

Dopefish · 26th November 2010, 4:04 PM

Any idea if it's possible to get potting mix in bulk? eg 1000 litres?

Quan-Time · 26th November 2010, 7:21 PM

you can get pallets from bunnings. A ~15kg bag is only like $13 on special, normally like $17 from memory.

I buy like 2 or 3 at a time, and you can fill 2 big square grow tubs per bag ive found. With a bit of left over. After some watering / compacting, you just top up the tub.

You can just buy like 10 bags if you want. Else you could probably get a pallet delivered for a price.

Just don't make the mistake of getting any in your eyes.....worst time ever the time I did that

Mine sprouted really fast, within a week or so. Most of them have multiple branches with about 10-15 leaves now. Planting time tomorrow.

I have 130 odd chilli plants in my front garden in northern suburbs of Melbourne. Some are just starting to flower now, I know my Purple Jalapeno is probably the earliest fruiter this year.

I'm also having a crack at growing bananas, coffee and cacao (chocolate) this year as well.

just when you think your doing well, the internet proves theres someone at LEAST 100x better than you.

I hate you,, at least 100 fold

What sort a stuff you grow ? also, irrogation, whats your setup ? The plants look healthy. Stubby, but healthy.

Also, you worried about cross pollination of the species ?
