    Hopefully our Chief Chilli poster Stacey D will be along before too long, she'll know far more than I do - but in the meantime what variety of chilli are you growing?

    Thanks dove lol.... Marksman what type of chillies are they? why do you think it is the soil? can you take a pic? lol there are a few reasons chillies get growths spider mites being one of them but poor pollination can also be another reason.... a pic would help...

  • cant take photo, but bad pollination is most likely they are cayenne peppers not all are like this!, the plant is healthy and with 150 odd of chilli's on it, not to worried but i love knowledge and i need to know so i can further my for next years produce
