Gday fellow humans started this thread up for all of us chilli freaks,growers and in general chilli heads who like a bit of heat in their life.
This thread is for anything related to chillis at all wether its pics of plants growing,old pics of previous plants,jokes,chilli stories and recipes.Yes recipes I have experimented over the years with various recipes and tweaked them to how I like them for myself so im hoping the chilli community can share a few tricks of the trade and tips and hints related to recipes or growing plants.
Get your heat on!!

I grew these Thai Red Chilis indoors, started back in January. She's 24" tall, but the canopy measures 40"x26"! She's in a 2 gallon Smart Pot with Coco and Perlite, started out using Blumats, but went to hand watering a while back. I also have some Habaneros indoors and outdoor, also started way back in January in coco.

The first habanero started fruiting indoor, is now outdoor with 0 (zero) leaves and tons of fruit. I tried to go from 2 gallons of coco to 10 gallons of soil, she didn't like it, but I'm harvesting fruits! The other one got hit with some early sun and came back in to recover, she's just flowering again after losing her first set, looking good. She's under 6 x 4' T5 HOs.

Oh, yeah the cayenne are about 5" long, and they have a real interesting flavor, something aromatic hiding in all that heat that makes it very tasty.

Great thread idea. I put a few more pepper seeds in trays yesterday. Mostly California Wonder bells, grand bell mix and mini sweet peppers for the wife, but I did a six pack each of Caribbean Red, New Mexico Chili, one French sounding pepper called D{something} de Espanol, plus a couple more I can't remember.

I'm starting to get some color to my peppers now. I've cooked with a few of them, but just a stir-fry. We have also added a few to a salad a time or two. I do eat the mini sweet peppers raw {along with tomatoes and cucumbers} in the garden every morning.

Me either. I saw the seeds at Lowe's and picked them up. Will see how they turn out. I have some about ready to transplant already, but the labels were washed clean, so I have to wait on fruit to ID them. I have almost 50 plants, most of which I don't know what they are. I do have them in groups from the 6 packs though.

Bit of time free today so hot my first attempt at cloning chillis done today.Using a heat mat under the mini greenhouse for warmth and will prob leave fome cover on with vents open during cold night time temps and then leave dome off during today which should prevent mould issues.
If and when roots succeed ill put in solo cups and place in tent with T5 x4 bulbs
Heres pics of mini greenhouse and pic of chilli bushes im trying to clone ...u can see from the canopy cover just why i want to clone these girls :)

@mushroom head should I have the heat mat and tray with cuttings in my tent with T5s now or should I wait till I know they have roots before placing into solo cups and then into tent?
