Err... how big are these peppers meant to be? Mine is pushing out pods now and one looks ridiculous.

Well, time to get this show on the road. I took the advice of a couple of fellow "growdowners" and chose the plant on the right, it had smaller pods than the other but more of them. I really wanted to use the "middle" one but just couldn't get a grasp on it. Anyway, I bought a "dirt bag" for ten bucks from the local landscape place.

I got a grommet kit from Harbor Freight and put some drain holes in it.

Added a little water when it was half full of dirt.

Here's the plant and the full dirt bag.

I pulled all the peppers except one small one so the plant can work on roots first.

My first official weigh in: 13 pods and 832 grams.

And now, it's mostly up to nature.
 
You'll regret not using the middle plant. 
 
I've got a few starting to come in.
 
But I don't think I'm going to make this my competition plant.
 
This plant kind-of quit growing in order to throw it's energy towards these peppers.
 
My other XL Antep Aci plants are much bigger, but just don't have many peppers yet.

I ate that big fella raw yesterday. Nice crunch, mild bell pepper-esque flavour and enough heat to have me reaching for a beer. I think these are gonna be great in stir frys etc.
It seems you had pretty much the same impression as me. Just enough heat to get a few beads on the brow! Also, I think you could use these any way that you would use hatch/big Jim peppers.
