2015 Tomato and Chilli Growing Thread

Are these Chilli or Tomato plants?

Chilli plants.

I have my plants in a heated propagator in my fairly cool utility room and once the seeds had sprouted I have turned off the heat. If you leave it on, the plants get very leggy and are susceptible to "damping off".

I've had the heat off and the lid on for about a week or two now. I'm thinking about moving the propagator to my greenhouse soon (today maybe!) and I'll leave the lid on to protect against any overnight chill.

The greenhouse is already seeing day time temperatures in the 30s with overnight around 6C so I'm hoping that will bring them on better than a utility room shelf by the window.

Just checked and it was 1.5C last night - but I'm hoping the plants are ok with this tonight - we shall see!

Chilli help required please.
Have been growing these 'Hungarian Hot' chillies in my polytunnel.
The leaves have started to droop as per photo.
Chilli plants next to them, no problems.
They have enough water and have been fed with tomato feed.
Any ideas on reason for leaf droop.
Thanks in advance

I have some Hungarian hot wax too and if they are droopy I make sure they have extra water. Also check the underside of the leaves for pests
