contest Growdown Throwdown 2020 - Fatalii

skullbiker · Dec 13, 2020

Well, I got a few yesterday, last week we had a couple of nights of upper 30°f temps and a couple of low 40's. I still looks like I may get a couple more pulls.
Anyway, 29 pods at 166g for a total of 1062 pods and 6241.29g.

Peppergator, where are you? I figured you would be weighing in seeing as to how you have that balmy warm weather down there!

I think the plant might have caught a little second wind!
54 pods at 315g for a total of 1116 pods and 6556.29g

You have definitely set the bar high
any Fatali grower in the world!

Thanks, but did you miss post #937?
The bar is still out of my reach. Now I wonder what might have happened if I had used one of those GIANT grow bags like Guru.

They call him guru for a reason... well actually I think he named himself that, but he lives up to it

Use a huge bag for next year's growdown

Man, some of those big containers would
take almost a yard of soil!

ColdSmoke · Dec 17, 2020

1,256 + 372 = 1,628 grand total

Not a lot but still too many for me...I gave almost all of them away. I am experimenting with a new way to ferment peppers. I will share shortly. Super easy method

That’s exactly what I used, one ton/cubic yard of humus.

So here is a really simple way to ferment your peppers. You dont have to worry about keeping the peppers under water or using an air lock or anything. Simply chop them up, weigh them, add 3% of that weight in kosher salt, mix in a bowl and vacuum seal. In about 5 days you'll see your vac bag full of CO2 from the off gas. Simple cut the corner of the bag, push the gas out and re-seal (do not vacuum again as there will be juices). You will probably have to do this a few times. The environment is completely sealed so no bad bugs or oxygen can get in.

You can I have resealed this one a couple times. Enjoy!

PaulG · Dec 23, 2020

Great idea, Jeremy. I hope you will
show the finished product.

Great sunny day here today.
How's it in your neighborhood?

ColdSmoke · Dec 24, 2020

Yesterday was sunny but windy...pretty nice today too

The pods have gotten a little smaller lately and the plant is now dropping some leaves. I've had 4 nights below 40°f in the last two weeks. I see a few green pods yet and 3 days to go. I don't know if I'll hit the next milestone or not.

What are the plans for 2021? I might be interested in embarrassing myself and watch you guys pick pods while I shovel numerous feet of snow.
