Over the water from you on the Island and had the same problem as you with competition under the grow lights, bit the bullet 3 weeks ago and potted the 50 January sown ones on and moved out in the polytunnel, and a week ago did the same with the 50 Feb sown ones. So far no casualties despite it getting down to 2 degrees, they are much happier with more compost and light.

Thank you for the chilli update JB! I love that you are honest about the high and lows of your growing journey.
Gardening isn't an exact science when there are too many variables like environments, growing set ups etc. There's only so many things that you can mitigate and i do think that is really just personal to peoples own growing conditions, time and money.
I have also noticed an increase in gnats again this year and i do feel that it is because of the warm and wet winters have driven up the humidity levels. Touch wood no red spider mites though at least! lol
We are also desperate to get things out in the garden too. The weather has been so unpredictable. March was quite warm and now when it comes to planting out it has got cold again. Typical!
I think a few of us have "cozy" plants atm but i am sure once they can go out properly, they will soon perk up.
Our chilli's are quite small about 10 - 15 cm. Personal choice but we did pinch them out as our old Thai dragon chilli was very tall when we bought it and as we keep them indoors, i wanted to make sure that it wasn't stick before it grew side shoots. It does seem to be working for us. The new red hot chilli was already creating side shoots and is creating buds so i am planning to knock them off. They need up potting too but we are lacking space.
It looks like we are getting warmer weather now so might up pot with a view to having a bit more space under the lights in the next week or so. Fingers crossed hey!
Take care!

Be as smug as you wish JB joy of the gardener is in celebrating their successful sowings

Hi JB. I use capillary matting for watering on uneven shelving or you might level the shelves with spacers under the legs.

The gnats have been a real pain this year for us too. I swear by those yellow sticky tabs. They've been keeping the numbers down tremendously. I've also got some nemetodes ready to go this weekend. I use the mulch on the house plants but it's too much to buy the fancy mulch for all the seedlings. So I hope the nemetodes helps. Nearly time to put the chillies in their final pots. Weather is still too cold here in Sussex. Come on the sunshine! Xx

You’ll like the hydroponics machine. We got one from a different company as a wedding gift - similar idea as yours but less fancy - we now have four machines 😂. They are great for starting seeds. Most things germinate really quickly and then grow quite fast. We had some basil in last year and it grew way faster than we could eat it. Got some pick and come again lettuces in one just now and it is great - no slug damage. They work quite well with a heat mat below for chillis, tomatoes, etc. Micro tomatoes work well. Just be careful if you are planting out as the roots can get caught up in the cages and there can be a bit of damage if you’re pull the sponge out. I tend to just plant with the cage still in place then recover it at the end of the season. The downside is your neighbours will probably think you are growing something more dodgy with the light 😂

I'm a bit obsessed with chillies too. Just put mine out in the poly tunnel two days ago because the temps have been quite good. Opened my door this morning to notice there's been an unforecast heavy frost last night and I swiftly closed the door. I'm sure it will be okay 😱

Omg so glad you mentioned the fungus gnats! This is the first year I’ve had so many issues with them. Seen the grubs eating away at my seedlings 😂

also realising we were a bit early, 30 sweet peppers setting fruit desperate to go out lol

Same here mate, aphids are at as well. Need to get the out asap

Hi..I took your advice and tried the Sylvagrow compost and really haven't had any fungus gnats this year. I've been taking my chillies and Peppers into the green house every day (15-24°) and the natural light has really brought them on. Take them back in at night

Hi JB, I've had a lot of fungus gnats too. I hung a sticky fly catcher & it's really helped.
I spent a good hour removing flowers & buds from all my chilli peppers. First year growing any & it's exciting

Use the non-toxic sticky fly paper, buy the pull down rolls. Maybe sacrifice some plants to get a better harvest from fewer?

I had dreadful fungus gnats when I was trying to grow my succulents indoors. The little bastards were everywhere, all over the ceiling and they were flying about - they were in the room I do Zooms in and people thought I was doing some sort of funky dance as I kept grabbing for them as they flew past my camera. I used fly spray but it wafted over my succulents and they melted!!! Never seen anything like it. So I avoid growing indoors now because my heart can't take it.

I planted my chillies in late January doing okay . I’ve provided soil warmth by heated trays no artificial light in a westerly facing conservatory. You could improve the lighting using reflective foil the sort they place behind radiators . If you can’t space them out place a ring of low powered leds around them. You will probably overproduce at the end of the season.

You need to grow some carnivorous plants (aka sundews or pings) near your chillis to deal with the gnats

Sticky fly traps or Apple vinegar in a cup for fungus gnats JB

I got sticky tags (amazon) last year for aphids inside my veggie beds (covered, which trapped them)..marvellous. this year, used them amongst my seedings and the yellow tags were almost black with 'bodies'. Really are worth it.

I've done all my indoor sowing into microwaved compost, onto the good old super seven, lots of plants, had no gnats

Oh, my JB. First: fungus gnats. I did not have them for decades but now they are a problem every year. I use a product called Gnatrol. Rather use nothing but as it goes Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis isn’t the worst thing. I use it from the beginning of starting seedlings and it controls them well. You just need to understand the life cycle and get a jump on the beasties. I also was thinking of Steve questioning why everyone is in such a hurry to start seeds. Starting things later has worked well for me. Finally, a technique that worked well for me when I lived in Maine with its long winter and short growing season was to carry all my seedling out when the days were warm enough and back in at night. They will benefit from the natural light and harden up in the wind. Bit of advice from an old gardener. Hope you don’t mind.
