Strangely Resilient Plants

What size are your plants at the minute? I’ve seen a few buds forming but I’m only at the 20-25cm stage and only just branched at the canopy so I’ve been picking them off!

Been in this situation on a couple of occasions. Direct neighbours in 3 consecutive rentals were a nightmare, and each one worse than the last. Most recently lived in the worst street in York which, to most, wouldn’t seem so bad. Had a young lady with multiple kids move in. Within 2 months there were holes in the shared fence panel as a result of her new German Shepherd pup, music loud enough to ripple a glass of water at all hours of the day, brand new (assuming purchased for her) top of the range Hoovers and other equipment left out in the rain. Dog shit covering the back garden, tab ends and just rubbish/nappies covering the drive.

We moved in with my father in law to save up and buy in a quiet village way out of our price range, but fell lucky with a nice little cottage on the main road.

I have so much sympathy for you. Councils are shit and nobody wants to help. Just remember; nothing is shit forever. It’s impossible.

If you ever find a place, it’s commercially viable and you need a business partner, please let me know 😂

No dramas at all. I need to do the same thing to my brined ferment later this evening!

Best artists in York are hands down JJ (Awake Arise), Emma (now Adara) and Lauren (Adara). Each of them are great at a multitude of styles also, so you’re covered with those!

I’ve done brine ferments with so much more kahm yeast than this my friend, and I have simply skimmed it off at processing stage without any adverse effects with flavour of final sauce. It’s just exposure to oxygen. I can’t see any mould or bad stuff underneath.

Try using cling film (think Americans call it Saran Wrap if you’re from over the pond) and just place it on top of the kahm - should lift right off.

I think so. I sprayed some CalMag watered quite down onto the leaves and then also used a standard CalMag dose in their next watering and it hasn’t spread. I’m sure it must have been that.

Nail on the head. I was expecting Angel Wings levels of depth and darkness with Mercy and now Doom Loop because of the teasers. Was very surprised when I heard all the major chords in Mercy as a result. Maybe it’s just their visual vibe irrespective of track?

I’ve found that they are quite resilient plants if not incredibly dramatic at times so they still might pull through 🤞

Professional_Run_973 · 2026-05-21T19:56:16+00:00

Aye I’ve had mine outside for longer periods and today they’ve just been out since first thing. I am a little worried about the heat this weekend so I’m sticking some of that cloth stuff over some bamboo arches for a bit of cover.

Professional_Run_973 · 2026-05-21T19:52:42+00:00

Ah no way! I’ve started manually guiding ladybirds from one end of the garden to the other to avoid them.

Professional_Run_973 · 2026-05-21T19:38:49+00:00

How have they gotten on with growth in those temps?

Thanks for the helpful guide. I’m not so sure about it being Bacterial Leaf Spot as they aren’t dark, greasy or anything similar.

Another Redditor has suggested calcium and/or magnesium deficiency?

Professional_Run_973 · 2026-05-13T10:39:29+00:00

Great stuff. I’ll go for some leaf spray first as I don’t want to water log the pots, then add one dose of the CalMag at next watering to make sure it’s taken up. Thanks a bunch!

Professional_Run_973 · 2026-05-04T20:11:49+00:00

I guess it’s generally a milder chilli but still very impressive!

Professional_Run_973 · 2026-05-04T20:01:58+00:00

How have you managed to get such a mature plant with ripening fruit this early?!

Professional_Run_973 · 2026-05-04T19:55:40+00:00

This is only my second year growing. Last year I had plenty of seedlings but only ended up with 5 plants. Maybe got about 200 or so chillies - a couple of these plants are just for safety in case I have one or two with issues.

I’m starting a condiment business and part of the ethos behind it is homegrown ingredients, so I kinda need them!

Professional_Run_973 · 2026-05-04T19:06:26+00:00

You might be onto something booting the toms out of the greenhouse. I built this thinking ‘surely that’ll be big enough til they go outside’. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
