Wait!!!!
If she does not needs water yet just wait until she dries up and then, yes, water plus feeding...at least that is what i am seeing....might be a Blue Monday on my parts so you better wait some more input.

D'oh, too late! However the water is running right through now so shouldn't encounter anymore watering problems

No harm done. But now let the pot dry up properly.
Sorry for the incomplete first advice

So what do the chilli plants look like?

No problem

I changed all the compost from the problem anyway. It's much finer and lighter now. I have broken pots and stones at the bottom of the pot too now.

Not really an update of the plant, but I found a ladybird with a drop of water on it, thought it looked pretty cool! (Wasn't even high at the time!)

Thank you mate, I'm going to take some pictures now and post them here and there too.

It's Ziel-Zielona's strain. It's this, or close to, Blueberry x Lowryder x Big Bud. It's smelling really nice and fruity, can't wait to try it!

This is a Lemon Drop Chilli plant, this is it's 2nd summer, been producing these badboys for 2 years! It's an indoor one, sitting on the kitchen Window Sill.

Here's some of the fruits:

This one is just an Italian Chilli plant, like the ones you'd get on a Diavola Pizza!

This is an indoors one too, living next to the Lemon Drop plant for 2 years also!

Pulp · Sep 15, 2011

These are the outdoor ones that live next to the Big Berry

All the same Italian one.

Another little update

nice plant, what day is she on now?

also in the future, you may want to not put any sort of gravel, etc, on the bottom of the pots in the soil. i've read that the plants roots can venture down there and dry out/die.

best off not watering too much/creating a good draining mix from the get go.

also what sort of soil mix do you have her in? pure compost?

:ying:

I think it's on about Day 90.

Hmm I don't know, wouldn't that mean it'd be the same for when the roots come out of the pot at the bottom? Still it was a better compromise than just leaving it soaking.

Yeah it's in pure compost at the minute. It started in a mix, then homemade pure compost, was too damp and wouldn't dry, so had to buy some from the gardencentre and re pot.

I think it's doing okay now!

Thanks for your input
