Aiming for a long(er) chilli!

January 11, 2021 /

We have decided to give the giant (long) chillies another go! In addition, today we have sown Cayenne, Apache, Thai Super Hot, Spaghetti & Ancho chillies.

Last year we managed to grow a 166mm length chilli using the ‘Spaghetti’ variety of seeds. This year we will be trying with Thunder Mountain Longhorn Chilli which is the original strain that led to the World Record holding chillies! These seeds were obtained from the Giant Veg website so there is hope for an improved success!

  • Coir plugs
  • 1 seed per plug
  • Poke seeds into damp plugs
  • Covered in a heated propagator
  • Keep a clear plan or label well!
