The Growroom Great Chilli And Pepper Grow Off 2021

[novice4oil]

this is what they look like.

They look very pretty I bet Aspie will have heard of them

There's a load of multi-coloured chillies. Most are called "ornamental" as they have heat but no real taste.

If you're after fairy lights, then you can get them here...

Bolivian Rainbow and Chinese Five Spice are the classics among the multicolour, multiphase, spicy varieties. I had Bolivian rainbow years ago, as most novice growers, it didn't bring much for me though, aside of the chancing colours.

Just ordered some sweet chilli seeds. Some italian genetics, so must be good looking plant

Rik, there's at least one heatless Chinense variety in case you are looking for the flavour of the hot peppers. For me it required too long an Season, let me look for the name. perhaps an option for next year. Found it, it is the Frontera Sweet.

It's a shame I am no longer in good health, otherwise I'd be growing chillies this year. I used to grow 130+ plants. One year I ended up with yellow jalapenos by cross-breeding.

Yeah, them bags of potting mix are hard to lug around. Using smaller pots this year as I am out of regular pot sizes. If only my germination was upto scratch I would have had that many too.

Were you on the international forums? Never got around to it, and now they seem as dead as the forums here in Europe.

I was on a UK forum for a while, but never posted what I grew.

So, what is the contest about, i.e. what are the judging criteria? Number of fruits, mass of fruits, largest fruit, I don't see anything mentioned in the opening post. @DIY.Rik it is all the same fruit, all Capsicum. Chil(l)i Peppers, Bell Peppers, Peppers vs. Paprika.

@Mrs Beefheart you realise those ornamental pepper plants you show of in your opening posts, usually receive one or multiple rounds of growth regulator sparyed on the green parts of the plant to reduce the growth of the plant and ensure fruits stand out over the canopy.

As for seed packs, erhm you do realise each pepper contains seeds. So one uses ones own harvest, or one gets some grip/zip baglets with dried seeds from (online) friends.

Anyway can't enter as i will not reach 50 posts this season. Plants have experienced serious stunted growth and other weather related issues, anyway, so are only now catching up. Now onto the rest of the thread.

Ah an jury contest;-). Thought as much, but had to ask.

Updating pictures, I am afraid i have many pictures, but they would identify my location and me. As I have posted them on other veggie/chillipeppers fora.

Plants are catching up, in flower, not in fruit yet as they were debudded to keep them in vegetative state, as they had suffered serious growth delays due to the weather here, even in the greenhouse as young plants/seedlings.

Packing them thighly makes the plants grow up not so much side ways. I have a couple of Aci Kill Menendez plants that are getting to chest high.

I was just pointing out that commercial growers (ornamental) have their tricks to get plants look like that.
