I have a loooong way to go. Looking good friends!!

I'm still amazed by how most of these plants look way better than my biggest overwinter. There's serious skill in here.

Picked my first batch today. Hard to read, 94g.

Here is a pic of the nicest two pods.

A few more stragglers..

I'm noticing some pods are orange and some are actually yellow. My only ripening pod is definitely orange.

Mine is orangish also. Not super orange, but definitely not what I would call yellow either.

My meager first haul. Gotta start somewhere, so im officially in!

I find that Scotch Brains and other "Yellow" peppers are actually a school bus orange when totally ripe. It's a chameleon colour that changes with varying light conditions.

Walchit · Jul 7, 2018

That bus looks a little long for most of us.

Yellow? Orange? Mine are still green!!

Walchit · Jul 8, 2018

I'm about to pick these and get on the board. There should be at least a half a gram.

Just depends on soil goodies, what the plant feels like throwing and you can adjust your eyes white balance if you need to

How were they

Can't believe how big some of the plants are around here...

Im back

Seems like Panama according to his glog.

It was awesome.

NeedsWork said:
I had a nightmare the other night that the first pod to ripen turned red.

Hope all is well pepper people!

Not gonna happen no matter how much you adjust your white balance, ha

And the lead extents just a tad more.

Fear not - spring is only three months away.

BTW - Are we counting total pods and heaviest pod or only total harvest ?

All pods off your chosen plant get weighed.

More than I thought were still hanging, and a few more need to ripen. The plant is dropping flowers in this heat. Come on September!

Too funny!

AndyW · Jul 8, 2018

So I think I may be out before I got anywhere near producing. I was already behind joining (and starting my peppers in general), so I had my brain strains in solo cups still. They really suffered when I was away from home for about a week and the leaves were looking super bad so most got plucked off. I'm doubting that any of them will produce much of anything this season. I'd post photos but my phone crapped out so I'll be without one for a week or two. Good luck to everyone else though. Just remember not to dilute your diesel too much when watering.

Crazy Monkey · Jul 9, 2018

Last of the pods that were left to ripen.

Nothing but flowers now..
