I've always had issues with aphids but this year seems to be worse than previous and fairy hasn't worked at all this year.
SNIP
is it justy where the stem has kinda exploded as it's stretched from over watering or something?
2 of my plants have it although the other one barely any.
ahh okay, the plant is thriving literally twice the size of the others with many more branches so I wasn't that worried.The stem has gone a bit corky in places. Nothing to worry about really tends to happen as they age.
Perhaps I'll have a go at those next year then. I've quite enjoyed growing habaneros, but christ alive they take an age to give anything back.I germinated about 14 types of chili now, very late as it was about a month ish ago but hey. Coming on nicely now and the birds eyes are noticeably quicker off the mark and getting to bud stage way before anything else has even got going!
I'm curious do you guys water with rain water?
cos watching some "ecospheres" people made with rainwater the amount of things that end up living inside :O
btw what is this brown stuff? it's almost like scale but I don't think it is.

this is the plant that grew the biggest it's like twice the size of the others and never showed over watering signs on the leaves.
I can scratch it off and it doesn't move, it's only on the stems and not the leaves at all
the white markings look like stretch marks.
can't see any bugs on the plant anywhere. it's been like this for ages but seems to slowly get more
It's funny, I have 7 pots, hab morich, black tongue scorpions, trin scorpions etc etc. some mega hot ones... they are all tiny and so slow at starting out, but the padrons, jals and birds eyes are so much bigger and more advanced for the age! Always found that though, seems like the hotter the more of a bitch they are to get going but slow and steady!Perhaps I'll have a go at those next year then.

Yup the Capsicum chinense hot chills all take a lot longer to come on and get ripe, you need a long growing season for them really, the Capsicum annuum not so hot chillis like cayenne, jalapeños, etc all grow and ripe a lot quicker.It's funny, I have 7 pots, hab morich, black tongue scorpions, trin scorpions etc etc. some mega hot ones... they are all tiny and so slow at starting out, but the padrons, jals and birds eyes are so much bigger and more advanced for the age!

The plant from soil to top is 27" so pretty big compared to my habaneros, the tallest of which is about 12"nice how many inches is that?
