That's a mighty fine looking bell pepper you got there Nick

Hempy Brain only has 3 pods on it, but they are filling out nicely - about golf ball size now.
 
Got high hopes for the competition plant if pods are gonna be this size.

Got a little sunburn on mine. Outside today continuing to harden off.

Should get it in dirt soon.

Im going to start hardening off today...I'm out of room in my garage. Pics later

Does it need some more diesel to get rid of the leaf curl or what?

 

[Devv]

I wish I knew what caused that

Wow, can't believe how lucky you just got. All you need to do is cut your plant's stalk just above the soil and it doubles its current size in one week. I don't have a chance in this race so don't mind sharing this secret gardening tip. Wow, early May leaf curl in Kansas, talk about finding the unicorn of chiles. Game over, congrats!!

 

[Walchit]

I'll try that! Can't have curled leaves if there aren't any

Sorry for the lack of updates on these plants. I managed to get them in the ground a week ago, I don't think I'll be competitive in this competition though. These plants will likely only produce one set of pods and perhaps a few late ones before frost takes them in October. 

 

[Devv]

Very nice plants peeps!

I think it has been 3 weeks since I put it in the 1 gal pot, idk for sure. Roots look nice. Now it's just up to Kansas to produce supreme pepper growing weather.

Diy pot, sewed it myself. Composted horse manure, peat, perlite, little coir, coffee grounds, blood meal, bone meal, worm castings, Epsom salt, some organic dry nutes, and a little gypsum and lime. I think it should grow me a pod or two.

My plants are having a hard time adjusting to the sun this year. Through most of April, we had daytime temps near 80 with nighttime temps in the frickin 30s! This made it really difficult to properly harden them off, unless I wanted to carry 50+ plants in and out every day. So now that the nights are warm enough, its pushing 90 during the day. Still low 60s at night and hot days Is wreaking havoc on my peppers. So I kept my word and killed my first pick. The backup is potted up and in its final home. Lets see how long it takes me to kill this one!

Hardening off a bit early this year due to lack of space in the garage. These are mostly YBS, but there are a couple Fatalii and Mustard Bhuts mixed in 
 

 

[Devv]

Well folks, we're in the high 80's and mid 90's next week (they say). Sunshades should be completely up by Sunday.
 
I'm gonna get my butt handed to me if the temps don't slow down.
