Afternoon
3 or 4 of my chilli plants and 1 sweet pepper has developed odd white bumps on 1 leaf. At first I thought argggh aphids but I couldn't spray them off. Or rub them off. A close up picture makes them look like hairs, at least the ones on the chillis. The sweet pepper is worse. I've never seen this before and it's only 4 plants out of loads. And a single leaf in some cases. The plants are otherwise fine.

The sweet pepper looks the worst so I've got rid of it as it's a spare.
Any ideas?

I purchased two seed varieties from South Devon Chilli Farm; Chocolate Habanero and Razzamatazz. They were lovingly sown on Tuesday after they arrived:
Chocolate Habaneo: 20 seeds placed in a half-seed propogator with SDCF's coir compost (peat free) and placed on a radiator to keep them warm and help germinate. I had the lid on it, but today I noticed something that looked a little like dust or mold so I removed it to give some air circulation. Rewatered today as well.
Razzamatazz: Same half-seed tray treatment, 19 seeds instead of 20. They are also airing for the day.
My mystery Tesco-Grow-Your-Own chilli (very likely Bird's Eye or Cayenne) is still overwintering, I trimmed the branches back a bit further and changed the substrate as I think the one I had it in when it moved to the Big Boy pot was the wrong one, so it's in a mix of John Innes No.2 and the SDCF coir compost. I really hope it comes back in Spring!

That colouring could also be too much light or perhaps phosphorous deficiency (if the plants are somewhere cold).

I've got two survivors in the kitchen fro last year, no idea what they are due to strong winds mixing all of mine up last summer. Quite big and they should do well if they can live in my kitchen for months.
Sowed 12 varieties from scotch bonnet to frigitello last Friday in a heated propagator, keep checking, no life yet.

So come on don’t be shy. What varieties you growing
Batch 3 was 5 colours of BBG (of which 4 have germinated; still haven't got a red one.) Batch 4 was baccatums (only 2 germinated so far) and Batch 5 is a mixture of one BBG, Aribibi Gusano, Jalapeño Piñata, Uchu Cream, Goats Weed and Rezha (too early to know which will germinate.)
Still to sow various other annuums: Basque (Espelette), Large Orange Thai, Nigel’s Outdoor...Last edited by Mitzi; 12-02-2020, 02:08 PM.

Originally posted by Mitzi View PostI know people who soak in hydrogen peroxide (which is also a kind of bleach) but not household bleach. Mind you, I've never grown some of the esoteric species chillies which reputedly have to pass through a bird's digestive system in order to germinate. I guess those are the ones that need it the most.

Originally posted by Mitzi View PostI have 14 overwinters (each a different variety) and so far 12 varieties have germinated from seed, so that's 26 in total. Still hoping the Sugar Rush Peach will pop (nothing yet after a week) and I sowed six more varieties on Sunday so obviously they're not showing yet but I hope they all succeed. One more sowing to make, of three or four varieties (still waiting for one from Chris11 who used to be on this forum and is much missed by me at least.)
If the latest and future sowing all germinate I will have 37 varieties. That's too many for me. I was hoping to keep it down to the low 20s for varieties and around 40 plants.
