946g+63g= 1009g. Happy to top the 1kg mark! I probably have one final pull in the next week or so before having to pull up my plants. The weather has been great here, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was producing well into late November, but I'll be moving to North Florida in about a month. Here's to an even longer growing season!

You guys don't know what's hittin' ya, do ya...
















...well, do ya?....

Well, I think I'm all in.  Picked everything on the plants cause we getting threats of frost. 276g YTD + 658g = 934g. Thanks Guru!  I ground this batch and added 2.5% salt and put them into a fermenter jar for hot sauce. Should be hot!

Final harvest...this plant has been incredible! Thank you so much Guru!!
 

 

 
 
1,873 + 1,324 = 3,197g
 
 
 
Here she before the last harvest...she was still setting pods! Frost last night so perfect timing on this.

That plant produced like crazy. I like the look of the pods too.

Cleaned off the plant today.

222 + 634 = 856 grams.

Just damn Jeremy!
 
I have one just like it, I think it's a Baccatum cross. I wish I had went with it, as it has out produced my chosen plant.
 
Congrats  buddy!

1009g+385g=1394g. Final pull! Would have loved to see some more of these ripen, but I'll be moving here in a couple of weeks and have to pull all of my plants soon.
Gonna be bottling my ferment I made with the first few hundred grams in the next week or so.

Some of your weights and pods have been awesome.... well behind but I blame the “over the pond weather”

Two weigh ins with 23g in the bank I hope to finish around 300g

Great competition so count me in for the next growdown

Time to fire up the tent.  Temps are dropping and there is risk of frost tonight.  
 
Total: 1,752 +  73 = 1,825g

Well, again, My season turned out to be a bust..... Not giving up. My grow down plants germinated but did not survive as I went though another BS move... But next year ITS ON..... Congrats to everyone.

Denmark reporting the final weigh ins, as frost arrived a month earlier than usual, causing me to have to empty out the garden early.

385g + 116g + 629g = 1,130g final

This plant is by far the most proliferative I've ever grown, thanks Guru! Harvested more than 460 pods, and this is what it looked like during its final hours:

Happy I managed to get over 1kg, and congrats to the real growers out there nearing the 2kg!

...and I'm not done, boys.

Just remember when you alert the media, STETTO, with 2 t's, got it?

 

[DontPanic]

I've had such a hot September, that my GDTD entry was wilting nearly every day.
 
Hopefully, it'll start to set some more pods now that the weather has cooled down.
 
Here's one more small pull:
 

 
 
This brings my total to:  269g previous YTD + 30g = 299 grams.

 

[Pepper-Guru]

What's everyone doing with the fruit? I've been stir frying the heck out of everything! Eating with sandwiches, etc

 

[Devv]

@ DontPanic: yes I'm right there with ya on the heat issues.
 
As for what are we doing with them? Oh the ones from June?..LOL Powder! 75 days left? I hope the cold stays away that long, as we have tons of flowers that need to set..

I've found these Sri Lanka Chilli Red peppers to be pretty versatile for cooking.
 
Their shelf live in the refrigerator is pretty good compared to some of my other peppers.  So far, I've been using them fresh in a variety of ways.
 
I've been throwing one or two into my shirt pocket when I go out to eat burgers or Mexican food.
 
They've been really handy when making Chili, Creole Beans and Rice, or a Curry.  I can throw several of them in much closer to when I'm finished cooking, so they don't loose as much flavor.
 
If I'm using a really hot Chinense pepper, I tend to throw them in earlier in the cooking process so that they have time to blend in.  But they loose a lot of flavor, and I can't use nearly as many.
 
I haven't gotten around to making powder yet, but I like the idea of making a powder with a heat level that normal humans can appreciate.
