Hi David,

The temperature is certainly a lot cooler than it was a few weeks ago as we have had nothing but rain for the last 3 weeks and outside temps of around 14 degrees with the occassional 20 degree day here and there. It is always warmer than that in the conservatory but not by a huge margin.

I am watering them when the soil in the pots is dry to touch on top. I am watering them from the bottom of the pot though as I was under the impression that this is correct? They are being watered pretty much every day.

I feed them once a week using tomato feed to the dosage advised on the bottle.

The plant has been fine up until around 2 weeks ago when the yellowing started. I have around 10 plants of varying types but there seems to be one that is being affected the most.

Thanks,

Stevie

Hi Guys,

My chilli plants are well established now and are producing fruit but
I am finding that a lot of the new buds that are forming at the top
end of the plant are going yellow and dying off either before or just
after flowering.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong. A friend of mine is growing chillies
and he is having the same issues.

Thanks,

Stevie


You don't give us much to go on. With only the presenting problem stated
the best you can get is an attempt to list of all the possible causes which
Billy has provided. If however you described the growing conditions,
weather etc and what are doing we might be able to be more specific. A
picture would also assist. Considering this, is there anything in common
between you and your friend's situation?
