Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Ok. So who won this thing?!
Mama did the best she could to measure and take a pic for me...but she could not do them both at once...
Final measurement was 67" not too shabby without any real TLC since I left at the beginning of August!!! No feeding...no prunining...not even any harvesting! (she's not into peppers) Just my drip system watering 15 minutes every other day. Very cool variety, I did get to sample a few ripe ones before I left and they were delicious! Thanks Kevin! I am sorry I have not been able to keep up with the posting, hope everyone understands. Hmmm...I should be back stateside right around the start of the next one...y'all better look out!!!!!

Here are final measurements and some pictures.
My wife was pretty happy
: : that I had string supporting my LOT. You can se them in the picture, one was tied to a light fixture above my garage and the other to a tree half way up the walk to the front door.
This picture is taken from my front steps that are about 4 feet higher than the ground and I am 6'1". The width of the plant was probably close to 7 or 8 feet.
Just over 10 feet….but it shrunk
….hey I have the pictures to prove it.
Laid out on my front walk.
Last picture before it heads off to compost heaven.
Enjoyed participating in this and I look forward to trying to defend next year.

Congrats 10'10. That is a big plant!!
Kinda pissed I yanked my plant so early,I thought we were going to get hit with bad weather,never happened. Lows in the 50's next week. Crazy stuff for around here. Leave your cars running please,we might be able to grow year round up here soon.

Here's mine. It looks pitiful, was one of the few that semi-survived the frost that killed most all the others. It measures almost exactly 3 ft. Had a lot of fun growing it out. The pods from this are delicious. Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
Have a couple cuttings that rooted, under a 400 watt CMH.
