contest Growdown Throwdown 2017 Aji Lemon Drop!

[stettoman]

I'm afraid I'm out of the contest. We had a freeze last night and it killed my lemon drop, and most of my other chilli plants

 
No chance to start over? Last weekend was my traditional planting day, unless your first frost of fall is in late August I think you have plenty of time. 
 
I am sorry for the loss, though. It has happened to me more than I'd have liked.

 

[MarcV]

Yes, I will start over but I'm not sure which varieties yet...

 

[Devv]

Sorry about your plants Marc. We've all been there and know how much work and love goes into a grow.
 
Good luck with the rest of your grow!

Sorry to hear that, Marc - I hope there were a few survivors.

 

[Scuba_Steve]

Did you just loose all leaves? The stem will often survive a few frosts and pop right back within a few weeks with new growth.

I think the stronger parts of the stem survived. There's still hope!

 

[Devv]

Glad to read that Marc!
 
I have my fingers crossed!

 

[MarcV]

Didn't look pretty. I removed the damaged parts but I guess all is not lost. Better than starting all over again!

My two are so stunted, they will remain in the grow but no way will they be a contender for any kind of pod production I expect.
 
Learned a lot this winter...next yr I will be doing things very different for better success.

 

[MarcV]

Started some new seeds today, although the lemon drop wasn't one of them. I went for serrano, stavros and rosemary pepper. All annuums

Alright, Marc!  Keep us posted!

 Is this the first harvest of the season?! Or a past harvest photo?

Past photo, I'll post my plant later. About to move it from basement to outside to harden off.

I was about to say! Holy COW y'all are getting pods super early! I mean we all started early but DANG hahahah

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

I could have had a bunch of pods already but I crowded the area and stole some of the plants light for other veggies.

Marc,
 
Really glad to see that plant isn't in that bad a shape. It will come back It just needs some TLC.
 
Nice plant Chris!

This will bounce back no problem! Prune it up pretty and let her do her thing!

Let's up the ante and add some SPICE to this contest. Who ever has the heaviest first harvest wins a runner up crown and honorable mention? Sound cool? 
 
Now, I wouldn't advise stalling just to win that, because you'd probably be sabotaging a harvest flow/production rate in some way, but it would still be neat to see who gets the biggest first harvest.
