Like it George, hope it works for you. I had to throw my plants, had too many in that small space and the pots were too small. So the next set up is gona be one plant in a 3x3 foot square, need bigger pot so the plant as something to anchor itself too.

Still waiting for my kashmiri chilli plants to flower.  Planted the seeds in January.  Grew nicely in plastic TA containers.  Split them up into more containers.  Seemed to have stopped growing now though.  Fed them with tomato feed, half dose. Look nice and healthy, but no flowers.

Strange should be flowering by now - where have you kept them? - not been very active lately so you might have covered this in a recent thread so sorry if I've missed it.

I planted my Kashmiri's late January aswell - cant believe the amount of flowers relative to the size of plant - some chilli's fruiting just this week.

They look great Mark.  Hoping mine burst into life soon outside in this hot weather.

Me too! I can't understand why the flowers are taking so long to open. There are plenty of buds on the pot plant I bought from B&Q about 6 weeks ago. Perhaps the 30C temperatures this week will help.

Not even got any buds yet George and the plants have been baking in the sunshine all week. Been well watered as well.  Reckon I'll stress them a bit with no water to see if that helps.  Worked for the wife's lilly plants. Haven't flowered for years, but she dug them up and moved them, and now they are flowering like mad.  Absolutely no idea what I am doing with chilli growing though. Must be a knack to it.

That's amazing. But how would most people guess to do such a thing unless told? It sounds a bit like tricks probably used by the best chefs to produce really tasty BIR dishes.
