  Hi Rick, so far so good... I have four F5 plants just starting to pod-up, hoping they turnout as expected! 

OK gents, I finally managed to speak with George at Growth Technology, have furnished him with your addresses and his going to confirm shipment details for the main prizes in the very near future!  

  Hi Ted, I'm afraid I don't have the time to spare to organise this year... also waning interest in the comp, so perhaps better if we take a break this year.

  Hi FYI I had an email from George at GT over the weekend, I hope to speak with him today... I'll keep you posted but hopefully close to getting this sorted!  Apologies once again for the delay in hooking you up with prizes

No news I'm afraid, am chasing... meanwhile all runners up prizes have now been issued. Cheers

Hi all, chasing Growth Technology contact again today... please bear with me.   In the meantime, I have the runners up coupon codes now from Justin at White Hot Peppers so will be dropping those out to winners on PM.  Also, all the UK runners up prizes should now have been delivered.   Cheers...

  Hey rickvm, I didn't grow this beyond the initial F1 cross... I decided to put my energies into the more promising of the two crosses I made as I don't have the resources / space to grow a large number of plants.

  Hey Masher, thanks for your interest but I'll be continuing to plough a lone furrow until I'm happy they are ready for release, hopefully later this year all going to plan.

HI All, first off apologies for my neglecting final wrap-up for the comp, lots going on which has meant I've been crazy busy which I won't bore you with.   Below are the final standings.  If you are in the top 3 overall or the top 3 for your respective forum, please can you PM me your address...

The selected F3 generation plants grew really strongly in the back end of last season, achieving close to uniform pod shapes. I saw a higher percentage of the plants I grew with desirable pod shape (50%). The heat and taste profile was maintained from previous generations too.   I...

Hi all, I've trawled the threads and hope I've captured all the entries correctly.    Please check and verify your entries are correct and I haven't missed anything.  Congratulations to all entering, after I've allowed time for checking of entries (a week or so seems reasonable) I'll confirm...

Hi all, sorry I've been neglecting this thread a bit... I'll be reviewing both threads and posting up final leader board before month end (comp close date).

Some decent pickings of late... Thunder Mountain Longhorn, love these pods! Air drying for hot Paprika. Aji Bodysnatcher F3 Aji Bodysnatcher F4 budding up Possibility of Purple Barghest, hopefully next years new cross... Final haul of Lemon Drops... White 7 Pot Ring of...

Leave them on as long as possible John, sorry for the delayed response...

Final harvest, plant cut... 181g + 914g = 1,095g total

  That is exactly as I'd describe mine Karoo!  Besides eating them whole and wishing I paid the tiny pods more respect afterwards, I've pickled mine in a slightly sweet spiced white whine vinegar this year... can't wait to try them!

Some more pickings... Aji White Fantasy and Aji Fantasy... beautiful big, crunchy pods. Rocoto Rio Huallaga grown initially in greenhouse then moved outside end of June, has been podding well all summer and seems in its element in the cooler autumn temps... well over 2m and threatening the...

Another picking... 146g, total now 914g

  Chupetinho is surprisingly hot, those little pods sure pack a punch.  Strong / typical chinense flavour... hoping the pickling process mellows them a little, I've gone for a slightly sweet spiced vinegar.

Cheers Mike, I've hopefully got at least another month until the final curtain so fingers crossed lots of ripening time!
