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

Almost what a number of you are getting in one pull.
The last open blossom fell off the other day, the rest are wilting and dropping. There are a number of pods left, and I've got the Darlin' Bride believing that I may win a boat, so she's letting me keep the plant on the dining room table to finish the competition.
Scott, I'll take the blame for 36 degrees. We have snow and 30 in our part of Texas, you were bound to take a hit. I listen to WBAP during the day, I know your forecast and Dallas' traffic situation better than my own....
500g? Not a problem, unless the cat......

Late harvest but huge early season looking pods! Nice!ColdSmoke said:3,682 + 1,317 = 4,999 lol
Big late October harvest
Well, there was a hard frost all over the property the other morning.....
Everywhere except for the patio and in the pepper garden. I imagine the heat stored in the slab kept the lemon drop just warm enough and the shade cloth kept the garden from getting hit.
And the grow moves into November....

Ooooh, suspense!
Nah, too much family stuff going on for me to keep up. I probably harvested 1500g that I didn't even weigh.ColdSmoke said:
Re you keeping your running total a secret?
Figured Rich had it in the bag.

I throw in the towel. My garden has been cleared, before the snow is to fly overnight.
I have about 20 plants that are loaded with pods hanging in my garage hoping for some colour.
My grand total is
96+168+148=412g
Might have been able to break 500 if I pulled the remaining green pods too, but my side of the garage is already full of plants.

It's winding down here, as well. Cool and rainy, lows mid-30's
and highs high 40's-low 50's. I have one more harvest on the
plant, will pull the last pods sometime this week. Think I'll pull
the green ones, too and weigh them separately just for fun.
Good work everyone! Been fun watching this season. I'm really
impressed by the totals some people not-in-the-south pulled.
Guess I needed to feed mine more Kudos to Rich for
ramrodding this thread and for a great specimen plant!
Will post final pic and total soon...

Too many factors go into that. I notice early season pods are always huge, in containers. In ground plants tend to stay throwing same size pods all season though. Likely heavily ph and nutrient dependent, followed by Sun hours and irrigation etc.Devv said:My mini pod producer threw a few more.
This put me a shade under 2K @1969.
This plants a monster, what's with the tiny pods?
Geonerd said:After a rather awful season, the first three Aji Limon pods of the season have ripened!!
This brings my total to a whopping 4.3 grams!
Who's sig line is Every Pod's A Victory?
Fits in very well in this case
