You guys are killing me with the 2 foot plus plants!
At least it'll be too hot for my little 8-10" birgits to set pods very soon, and they can just put their energy into growing during the summer....lol

Pr0digal_son · May 17, 2013

I've never grown these but they gow like the large "Aji" baccatums. It has been folly after folly over here,whether it was not feeding,or not potting up enough. I have put these guys in a position to fail and they basically put both middle fingers up at me ..l.. ..l.. I like their style!

stc3248 · May 17, 2013

That's funny John, because right now I have both middle fingers up at you and your plants!

Sorry for the crappy picture, but hopefully you can see that my lone Birgit's is now a foot tall (and lanky)

He'll be going in the ground in a week or two!

stc3248 · May 17, 2013

OK...so you all got me motivated to snap a couple pics...

You know pinching keeps this awesomeness from happening! This is one I still have in a 5# Nursery container.

Same plant...33ish"

The other 5# plant...

Same plant...

18 Gallon is opening up its lead...

Same plant...doing well in spite of some bug issues.

Didn't measure the in ground plant...but I did take a couple perspective shots of it and the 18 gallon plant...

I may not win...but the plants are gonna be perty big anyway!

edit: spacing

Oh, great, you would post right behind me, Shane. That's it! No more pics of my sad specimen! :mope:

Dshlogg · May 17, 2013

I don't know what I did wrong. I tried Shane's gasoline and kerosene foliar feed and look what happened:

What the hell man? Was I not supposed to light it afterwards? This is total BS!

stc3248 · May 17, 2013

Dsh...I see green at the base! That plant's gonna make it! "EFF" FROST!!! I hate it!!!

Dshlogg · May 17, 2013

Yeah, its gonna pull through. I may replace it with one of my other two though. They were also damaged but not as bad.

KiNGDeNNiZ · May 17, 2013

I'm a out 15 inches behind Shane's.

Soil drench with the kerosene and gas. Bleach is for foliar feeding only.

Can Melissa join the party?!

No she is way too good of a grower. Sorry King unless she actually posts the pics she is DQ'd

But my daughter Cris has started a little voodoo of her own. She's got the magic touch :party:
