Here's my Chuncho last two weeks ago. Gotta get some more pictures! Not going to be the tallest, but she's pumping the pods. Thousands. 
Brewed up some composted chicken manure tea just after this shot and she's responded quite well. Will update soon

Yo Rich,
How much chicken manure per gallon of water are you using for your tea?  I used 2 cups per gallon this season.  Unlike yourself, I have to buy my chicken manure, but, it's relatively cheap @ $3 per 25lb bag.  I will be amending my garden this Fall with the chicken manure and alfalfa meal.

My ratios are far from scientific, but depending on the smell and how long the manure has been composting/converting, A couple of shovel fulls per 10 gallons usually works pretty well for me.

Had a nice little growth spurt recently, but still nowhere near enough to put me in contention. Currently sitting at 3'11" and finally putting out ripe pods.

That plant is beautiful. Good shape, tons of fruit.
 
I also use chicken manure, as I have chickens - and I also am not extremely scientific with it.
 
Sometimes I don't even compost it, just sprinkle very little amounts and mix in to the top inch or so of the soil, that way it breaks down in the pot to enhance bacterial activity. But you have to be extremely careful when doing that, as chicken manure is super hot.

Looking good Meat!
 
Lets see some more updates people .
 
 
Getting down to the wire
