I measure just the pepper, not the stem. But you can go ahead and use the stem since you're gonna come up short anyway.

Don't forget: if your mother ever needs advice on caring for your plant while you are away, she can ask for it here

Deadpouk, I'm genuinely in awe of your plant. With our pots being similar sizes I was hoping mine would reach your heights but it wasn't meant to be!

There are very fat stripes on some of your pods!

 

[Pepper-Guru]

I'll pull second harvest when I get home from work tomorrow. Tons of pods I let go too far and rotten on the vine.

I'm quite surprised by its growth too. My plant doesn't even get sun until early afternoon, but I feed it every time I water.

some of the pods are completly red.

Ok here is my final 'ripe' entry. 6 3/8" no stem. It also has a nice red patina and corking.
118g so not as heavy as my green 129g entry but better looking.
Beat that!

Oh, when can I collect my prize?

I'm having the opposite issue here. Can't get any of them to ripen.

Oh grasshopper @mcbob, you still have much to learn. Confucius says, "In this contest, there will be no prize for you".
