Chillies & Grow Bags

I have tried both ways.

Grown in growbags personally I found the chillies smaller and more prolific, BUT not as hot.

Grown in pots there were slightly fewer chillies per plant, but they were certainly hotter.

It was done as a comparison a few years ago when we actually did have a summer!!!.

My reasoning for hotter fewer chillis in pots was that the plants became potbound slightly quicker and dried out slightly sooner than the growbags. Therefore they were slightly stressed, which made them hotter. I have also been told in the dim and distant past you need to treat 'em mean once they have grown and not molly coddle them.

I'm sure however there will be differing opinions 

A little bit of feed but not too much if that makes sense. Allow to dry out between waterings seems to help too. Tomatoes by comparison are molly coddled 

Gotcha - thanks guys!  Sorted
