  • Please help chilli emergency

    Hi all first time on here. Really hoping u can help I've grown a variety of chilli's this year ranging from mild to extremely hot (California reaper) everything from seed to plant has been great but I'm now getting heavy leaf drop across my crop and flower die off before they are formed I have about 20 chilli's in total. I've got pics of plants to show what's going on did have a black fly infestation but got on top of that any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks samuel

    Ok... I'm going to ask a few questions

    1. Are you feeding them?
    2. Are they in the ground or in pots?
    3. Undercover or outside?
    4. Are they all dropping leaves...or just one variety.
    5. How often are you watering?

      I've sent you a private message with my email address - send me the pictures and I'll put them up for you so we can see what's going on.

        Are the pots too small & are they on your windowsill & not getting pollinated?

          1. Yes general plant feed once every 2 weeks
          2. They are in pots but im worrying there to small for the plants
          3.half are in plastic greenhouse outside, moved half inside to seperare the crop
          4.different ones but all are dropping leaves n flowers. Have 2 good growing chllis on 1 plant
          5. Every 2 or 3 days they are wilting a lot if not.
          Pics to follow shortly

              jungle Jame has asked the next question - how big are the pots??

              Were they all in the plastic grow house? The heat in those could cause wilting/leaf drop

                I'm watering my GH plants every day, sometimes twice a day, in this hot weather. They would be seriously wilting if I left them any longer.

                    I'm wondering whether you've let them dry out too much, maybe only once, but the plants have lost their leaves as a result.
