Hello HotPeppers gang!
First time UK grower here, caught the growing bug after a chilli propergation tour at my local chilli farm. I've since added a bunch more seedlings and I have 15 varieties on the go currently.
I bought a young chocolate habanero & a fatalli plant last year from the farmers market, both grew a little with a few flowers indoors, once I put them outside they got eaten pretty quickly and didn't produce a thing.
This year, I'm determined to make this work, but I live in a very old cottage in the woods, and my garden only gets sunlight between 10am & 4pm due to the high tree's around us. We also have a Rabbit Warren basically underneath and around the garden, rabbits are constantly eating all my plants (of any variety) and borrowing against the cottage and in every corner of the garden…!
So, I want to keep a few plants permanently indoors as an experiment to see if I can still get some fruit without sacrificing them to the rabbits. I've also bought metal wire cages, a plastic pop-up greenhouse, mesh covers, wool slug pellets, & copper tape for the ones that I do put outside.
So, will these homemade tinfoil reflector things make any difference to my lights? I can't spend any more money right now, the long light is just a USB grow light from amazon, the one on the left is a 2 x 10w Sansi light. They're also on a heated propergator. Cheers all!!
