contest Growdown,,Tallest plant!!!

Thanks guru. Yes, underneath the Badboy T-5's with Agromax (I believe) 6500k bulbs

It's too big to fit under the lights with the rest of the plants...lol I can't believe how fast this variety grows.

Thank you Romy, I'm sure once everyone's get outside they will catch up.
 
Here's my weekend Birgits update...I measured the 4 keepers I have out there and the shortest measures 21" the tallest 23.5" so they're all real close...here's how they look.

Here's the tallest of the bunch...and he was a backup.

23.5...if I stretch it up, Hard to hold the camera, plant and tape at the same time though.

The shortest...the one in the 18gallon tote battling some mite issues.

Not far behind the tallest (and not for long) is the inground plant. This is my only inground pepper this season, and this little bed was purpose built for this one plant. This guy is at 23"...

Plant #4 escaped the camera somehow??? It measured out at 22". Hope y'alls are still kicking...and kicking into gear. The socal weather is starting to work it's magic and I expect a good jump this week!

How many are entered in this??? I've only seen pics from a few of you guys??? Still waiting on your addy guru so I can stop by and work an axe some magic on your plants! Oh...and forgot to mention armac as one to watch...I used to live down there and it is perfect pepper weather fo-sho!

I think this was the final list. Correct me if I be wrong:)
 
Nice lookin' Briggy's ya got there Shane. A tip for you. I heard that the Brigit's likes a lot of shade and they only need to be watered once a month..true story.
 
Oh you are in Chris. I knew I missed a few. Sorry for the late reply. You have been updating as well.

My plants have stalled out . To small to stick in the ground so I am gonna have to pull out some serious voodoo on dem bas turds :shh:

Sweet!! Thank you!
I probably wouldn't win, but it will be fun to play along :)
Maybe if I grow it on the ground sideways in the direction the crazy wind blows, and stand it up at the end....lol
 
OK, here is my tallest one at a whopping 8"....lol
A few are 6" tall.
They are on the porch under shadecloth, but when they get into the direct sun, maybe they'll grow faster :)
Oh, and when I repotted them from 16oz cups into 32oz cups, I buried them closer to the cotyledons to give them a bit more wind stability.
So they lost a couple inches in height now, but it should help in the long haul.

KMA you guys with all your sunshine ! :onfire: I've got mushrooms taller than my peppers :mope: ...

Give us a break ---- at least we won't burn up with all the rain we are getting.
 
I have 4 plants that are about 12 inches high, sorry no pics till I can get more batteries, my cam eats them right up.
Anyway none of my plants can get outside time the weather warms back up, I don't know when that might be, every till I take them out the weather takes a nose dive. We got snow here in Missouri for the first time in 50 years in May, us and a lot of other Midwest people, I'm crying Foul weather wise, but it will warm up some time.
