lol or a northern division

It's a challenge all around. I knew my gal wouldn't set pods for real until it cooled down some. So I concentrated during those 4 hot months on plant growth all summer hoping for the fall run. No way to catch up on the lead now. Optimal place in the hardiness zone is the key

Regardless, it's all about having fun doing your best with what you've got to work with.

Finally broke 1K, @ 1089. Gonna get real cold next week they say, we'll see

Some nice, fat pods there, Scottie!

Malarky · Oct 22, 2017

That's it for me, I pulled the plug. I cleaned out the whole garden this weekend. I've got nothing but highs in the 50's and lows hitting the mid 20's with rain and clouds for the next 2 weeks.

69 to get to 500. The tension is electric. Can he do it? Yes, there are still ripening pods on the plant....Will they finish, will he need to bring in the plant and upset the balance of power in the household hierarchy? The prize is that close.

Stay tuned, the exciting climax is nigh!!!!!

Everybody is doing great. Some nice harvests of my favourite peppers.
Can we have some pics of the plants again as the season draws to a close?

Were is the leaderboard.??

JoeMay · Oct 25, 2017

Here's my second harvest

96+168=264g

PaulG · Oct 25, 2017

Latest harvest thanks to the recent nice weather.
If the forecast holds, there will be another decent
harvest. Maybe even hit 2 kilos. Woot!

1703.875 grams + 183 grams = 1886.875 grams

I'll be harvesting today. Cold front moved in yesterday and gets even colder by Monday, so after I harvest, I'm hoisting the monster onto a furniture dolly and rolling her into the basement until warmer weather returns.

Devv · Oct 26, 2017

Good luck with the cold weather AND moving the monster!

Yeah, be careful, Rich! :rofl:

Devv · Oct 27, 2017

No way my monster can be moved. First off, I really do like my back. It follows me everywhere I go. And I'd like to keep it that way :rolleyes:

Let alone the dang thing won't fit out the gate. Hopefully the 36° forecast for Sunday is rubbish. If not we punt

So I did a pull today:

Dang, now I have to process these :confused:

That puts me at 1532. Still waaaay off 2nd. Still got 60+ days if old lady Ma Nature is liking South Tejas these next 2 months.

8th Harvest Weight = 1,352 grams
Total Weight to Date = 11,018.7 grams

Big drop in productivity this month. She's been working all year though. Probably time for a soil drench.

Funny how your "lower productivity" is the same level of production that us common folk aspire to! Like, seriously, 11kg and counting! Most people would be stoked to harvest that much from their entire grow, but from one plant!?!?!?

That's insane stuff man, keep it going! I reckon you'll come close to hitting the 20kg mark.

Ha, if I can get her heavy ass slid or rolled into the basement! Otherwise tonight may prune her back quite a bit. Rainy and supposed to hit 36, that wont be good.

Looking at all the green pods you can figure out that the growing season is over here in the northeast. We have not had a frost, nor is one in the forecast, but my grow was terminated yesterday. A 25 gallon root pouch and 10 month later I am done.

Last pull 1816 grams for a total of 5681 grams.

Always a pleasure to grow with you guys.

Anyone have any ideas what to do with green Lemon Drops?
