We still doing a trade?
Chilli update: Jalapeno's are doing well, some grubs getting to the leaves.. any ideas? My Scotch Bonnets are flying thanks to the humid conditions over the past few days. The real winners though are the Habeneros, 100% of my seedlings are doing well. Im expecting a good crop of chillis within the next three weeks as flowers are popping-up all over the place.

Eating them is one thing, but rubbing them in your eyes is pretty freakin stupid. I wonder how many other people have gone for that record?
Is there a record for how many of those things people can rub on the end of their knobs?

Try a garlic spray. Usually works on insects; if it doesn't, the grubs will thank you for the combo' of flavours.

Shit yes!
My habas have not sprouted
Will wait until it warms up a bit before I plant anymore seeds.
One Habanero is up now.
Have Jalapeno, Cayenne, Bird's Eye, Naga Morich and Habanero now.

Sorry for the late reply Indica.
My chilli plants are all struggling with this ridiculous Sydney weather, all this rain and cool temps has left all my plants struggling actually, and my tomatoes have blight!
Due to all the rain, slugs attacked my Jalapenos but they are finally bearing good fruit due to some sunshine. Habeneros are seriously struggling and are quite dwarfed. Scotch bonnets are going ok, just re-potted them, but as per the cooler weather they are stunted. I reckon they will bear fruit in a few weeks, in which case I will send you a bunch of seeds.. they are a really reliable strain of Scotch Bonnet im finding, seedlings are tough as old boots!

Well, the weather up here is obviously something the Naga likes. Grown from seed a few months ago and is very heavily fruiting.
I have used one in cooking and the heat is rather odd. The whole house was dying with chilli gas poisoning, coughing and spluttering. To eat was very hot, but only on my tounge. Felt like it was actually burnt. With the size of the crop I will happily send you a couple of chillies when they ripen. Bjorn will be getting a couple too.
The Habanero has only just come into flower with 2 chillies growing.
This guy has been living on the Naga since it was little, good protection there.

God your Chilli's look so darn healthy! Even my three year old jalapeno is struggling with this big damp. Im considering transplanting a few of mine into pots which I can move around to avoid pests and collect more sun. Your Naga's look scary, they have that wrinkly-skin look, crikey!
Funny that you mention Chilli going through the house, the same thing happens here! People are fine until they walk through the door and they start producing mucus, coughing and have runny noses haha.

These chillis seem like death wishes to me!! I think the hottest i have had are some jalapenos
How do you grow these infernal plants anyway? I am thinking of trying some hotter chillis.
Naga's, the Chilli species that Indica is growing, are considered to be the hottest in the world! Im growing Scotch Bonnets, which are not far behind.
Most of the time, Chillis are really easy to grow, just decent well drained soil and plenty of sunlight.. basically the opposite to Sydney's current weather.

My habanero is suffering as well and it gets sun for most of the day. Last summer I had more than I knew what to do with......I started bringing them into work for people.
This time around i've had none. There are maybe half a dozen flowers that have held on and beared fruit. I should've pruned it back in September.

Nagas changed colour today. Looking nasty.
This is apparently the same as the first plant, although I get the feeling one of the other chillies may have pollinated it.
I gave 2 Nagas to the Chenz, and Austen and I both offered him $50 on the spot to eat one. Did not happen unfortunately.

They look awesome!
If you do get someone to eat one whole, make sure you video it and add it to the thread
