Awesome plant. Looking forward to seeing how you made the grow bucket.

N8thaniel asked specifically what the study suggested, which is that 20hrs is best for yield for sweet peppers. You claimed the study suggested 14 was better than 20, which simply isn't true. The only consensus in this thread is that both 18hrs and 20hrs are better than 24hrs.

  And if you had actually read this thread, you would see that 14hrs it optimal for tomatoes and 20hrs is optimal for peppers.   "Optimal growth and yields of tomato and sweet pepper were obtained under photoperiods of 14 and 20 hours, respectively"

  I'm not sure that is true any more.  The Mars Hydro units are pretty inexpensive these days and have a good reputation.  The 300w unit (actual current usage 132w) costs about the same as a 2' four tube T5HO 96 watt unit.

My last (and biggest) haul for the season, first frost expected tomorrow. About 14lbs.

My Peruvian white hab grew like a carpet, lowest growing hot pepper I've ever had.  Not sure if this is normal or if mine was just an odd-ball.

This should be a sticky... 

I grew both this year, there wasn't a lot of difference between them. The lemon drops were (on average) a little shorter and fatter than the pineapples and an ever-so-slightly lighter shade of yellow. The lemon drops were a little hotter and more strongly scented than the pineapples.

I grew them last year, huge plants with few pods and took forever to ripen. First frost hit before most of them were ripe.

My first good haul.

I had damage that looked just like this last year, the culprit turned out to be a rabbit.

Any updates?

First few of mine have ripened, they really are tasty. Bottom pic is with a brain strain for comparison.

  I was in the blue area too.  We had 5 straight weeks in Jan/Feb where the temperature did not go above zero.  Then June was the wettest on record with over 3x the usual amount of rain.  The plants made it through just fine though and didn't show any signs of overwatering, even though they were...

I must be the exception to the rule, this has been my best season yet for both peppers and tomatoes.

What's the story on the dog turd?

This is meant to be a Fatalii Gourmet Jigaw: More pics here: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/56635-jigsaw

More pod pics.

Mine are looking quite different. Here's a picture that shows the colour progression:

This one is supposed to be a Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw. The pods start out purplish, fade to green then become orange before finally turning red. The stems and veins in the leaves are unusually dark too. Do you think it's a cross, or just some off-pheno variation?
