Hi folks. So this year I bought a bunch of various chilli plant plugs to get going earlier in my greenhouse. Most have fruited, but a lot of the peppers seem really small and underdeveloped (even though they have ripened) In the photo are examples of my jalapeño early, chocolate habanero, Armageddon & wraith chillis. 10 pence piece for scale! Did I get my ferts wrong? I was using a 2:1:4 high potassium fert when flowers started producing. Was my greenhouse not warm enough (I had it well ventilated through the summer to allow pollinators in and I live in the south of the UK)? I plan to overwinter the plants in the house to get a headstart on growing next year but would really like some decent sized fruits!!!
