 Ok this years growdown has not been up to par . We do apologize. Guess we are going to change things up a bit . Everyone pic a pepper plant . Any variety and any medium and use that as your growdown plant . Only stipulations are
 
1. Plant cannot be older than 2 months
2. You must use some proof of life so we know it's legit and present time
3. You must be an original contestant . 
4. Only one plant per contestant 
 
Please post all the specifications so we can judge accordingly . What type of pepper plant it is , And when the plant was started . 
 
GO !!!! 
 
We will also give whomever grows the largest Peruvian Serlano a prize as well 
 
Thank you

No need to apologize - I (and most here) sincerely thank you and your partners-in-crime for your efforts!  
 
I'm gonna go with an Aji Amarillo.
 
I don't know the actual seeding date but it was probably around mid February when we had a warm spell and I got 'the bug' in a bad way.  Since I don't have proper grow lights, none of my plants do much of anything until they go outside and the night time temperatures creep out of the 40s and low 50s  (happening about now).  Don't worry, the dude's only about 3 inches tall...  
Hope this is acceptable. 
 
Thanks!

How the hell do you get a beanstalk like that to grow in 2 cubic inches of soil?    :confused:
 
For real though... I have to water every day...  
 
I am currently feeding with about 2 teaspoons of miracle gro all-purpose per 4 gallons of water with a tablespoon of cal-mag+... occasionally I will brew some worm tea. 
 
I'm in with one of my F5 crosses (AZ Chiltepin / Reaper). 36 days above ground.

Parent plant that was started this past November is now up to the roof.
 

 
My only Serlano left living has stopped all upward growth at less than an inch.  Still going to try to breathe life into it but doesn't look good.
 
My serlano is still just two cotys. 
 
Iooking back on my crossing thread looks like my Lemon drop X inca berry f2 seedlings popped on March 24th so I will go with those for the grow down.

yea, hopefully they grow as tall and quick as their f1 parents. I have f1's that I started earlier and they are some of my tallest "seedlings"
 
(not entered in grow down just photo reference to older siblings)

this is the state of my lone Peruvian.It had a helmet head problem and did not win the battle,I don't have the heart to dump it,so it remains with the other plants until I am done mourning. :(
