I cannot see the temp dropping so that they will die. I will trim a couple down and leave the other as they are. With some luck i can get all the buds to fruit!

Some of my plants had this problem and trawling the t'internet the most likely cause is over feeding. I'd feed every 7-10 days with 1/4 strength food and see how you get on.

(you've advised me before!). Have 2 bucket sized pots with 2 x habero chilli plants in them (grown from fresh seed from a chilli on our local caribbean market!)...chillis germinated 1st week April...now have an abundence of flowers & a few (say 6-8) chillis swelling & starting to look like scotch bonnets!! Temp in room (downstairs n.facing big window) is 17-19 degrees constant...plants watered twice weekly (never overwatered)- once a weelk with 1/2 strength tomato feed... The leaves on all plants on the lowest stems are turning yellowish & falling off-mid/upper leaves are green & healthy. Is this normal? Or is the plant going into 'winter mode' already...whatever happens will try & overwinter as seeds sown late in March! Would love some chillis off it this year-is this possible or do you think plant is a gonner?? I have much much taller jalapenos & 2 cayenne chillis also on n.facing wondowsills & no drop.. Any ideas? Will try & post pictures if you think it may help! Hey CHILLIKING! (you’ve advised me before!).

Check out the link below for all information on how to do this. Hab's overwinter really well as they need a long growing and ripening season. http://www.thechilliking.com/growing/over-wintering/ Shadowchilli. Novice Chilli Boy,
