Makes some gnarly pods...

Might be fall before mine start to produce

Mine just won't stop dropping flowers.
I think it might be due to the recent pot-up to a 450L pot (120 gallons or so).
Might be putting all of it's energy into bigger roots.
But great looking pods everyone! I have a few on a much smaller YBS-plant, that I have as a backup

Same here. Not really dropping flowers, just not producing any. It had quite a few when I potted up to the 55 gal., but they are long gone. I plan to give them a healthy shot of Chlorox and monkey piss once the roots are established. Bumper crop coming soon!

Latest update, although I still need to up-pot into something much larger.
 

Love that pod

Weekly check in.  The weather had been pepper friendly.

Some shots from garden construction spring 2015.

Thats an awesome plant and an even more awesome garden, NeedsWork!

This plant has a fair amount of misshapen and smooth early pods And then this one pod proving that the plant will eventually do what it is supposed to do

Nice to see some poddage folks!

I was wondering if others were having a similar situation! Most of my current pods (about 3/4 of them) are really smooth and kinda misshapen, but there is one that looks okay - wrinkled at least. I assume once things get going everything will tighten up and become more uniform

Yeah, I never judge a plant by the first handful of pods it puts out, sometimes they're just small and misshapen. This is not always the case, but it happens sometimes. And late in the season too, during winter...I'll get a few 7-pots that look like habs....maybe I should play a prank on someone with those

 

[Pepper-Guru]

Let us not forget these are pretty darn good for early pods that came from open pollinated plants! Ha Thats why I started a handful and waited until I saw posts to select their permanent containers and places in the garden.

What a difference a large pot makes
 
This gal got her ass handed to her in a 60mph storm last week. She seems to have recovered well...
 

 

[Genetikx]

Those are some beautiful pods ya got theee Scott. Hope you're at least going to try and keep that one going after you cut your main season short

 

[AndyW]

Some of these plants seem like unattainable goals for multiple seasons with any variety, much less a limited single season with a chinense. I'm impressed.

Oh yeah, This one I'll keep going as long as it will keep growing. A frost before New Years is a rare deal here..
 
I'm hoping this strain doesn't care about the pod setting in the heat. It's under a 40% shade. We shall see..
 
What's really cool is the good bugs living in the soil that I see every time I water it.

All right.

My plants are officially not even as big as one of your smallest limbs.

Great job. That thing is huge!! Great pods too!!

 

[Genetikx]

Yea i love how he put that small plant in front of it for reference... As if we couldn't tell. Sh!t looks like Pluto orbiting the Sun lol

 

[ColdSmoke]

45 gallon this year...looks like I'll need a bigger pot next year. You guys are killing me!
 

 
I used a really nice potting blend from my local nursery and added compost, kelp meal, manure, rock dust and castings.
