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

You all have some awesome plants.
I have major catching up to do!
Finally some new growth showing up
The small pods from the last four or five
nodes have pretty much fallen of. But
there are lots of tiny new flower buds!
The plant with a fourth of the canopy missing.
Plant chosen for competition. Was protected by
shade cloth so looks better than the other two,
in my opinion.
Happy trails, everyone!

Looks like a good way to put some of the pods to use

I think I need to up my container for mine. It is dropping all its flowers now but it could be because it has 50+ pods....hard to tell

Nice! I'm only going to harvest ripe pods, so It may be a few weeks before my first harvest, but when I do, it should be a good one. Then it's lb after lb every two weeks.....hopefullyPaulG said:Harvested a couple of Lemon Drops and had a little
taste test with the neighborhood chiliheads. The consensus
was great flavor - very fruity, but not too hot. Would make
a great salsa! The fruity, floral scent was very inrense
When the pods were cut open.

Contest winning is pretty much out of the
picture at this point.
They are very nice peppers, however!

Photography looks good too. I love the canopy shot.
Hey everyone. Glad to see you all do well when unattended. I've been....away.
Before we left for "out west", my aji lemon drop had decided to drop every leaf and pod, with only a hint of any regrowth. Had I not had knowledge picked up here on these threads I would have thrown it out and conceded.
But I dutifully trimmed all the branches, rinsed and trimmed the rootball and replanted. That was on May 19, the day before we left.
Here is just this morning.
I don't know what kind of harvest I'm looking forward too, but the adversity this little guy has been under may make it an overachiever...We shall see. Thanks for the education I'm getting on this journey.

Here's my plant... difficult to get a good pic due to the position. As always space is tight, but it's been treated to a corner position in the GH and a large wick fed self watering pot. I've introduced feed today and the plant is taking off big time and podding like a machine to boot. I stripped off all the mature pods to allow for continued focus on growth.
152g (+ existing of 23g) makes total of 175g for me so far...
