contest Growdown Throwdown 2021 XL Antep Aci Cross

[DontPanic]

Something is eating my plants...I'm afraid I won't be competitive again this year; no time to diagnose. 

 
You can't be using enough diesel if your having trouble with pests eating your plants.

Some truth here. Has anyone ever seen aphid infestation on a pan of diesel?

I've really been putting the chemicals to it since I started so late.

That was me. I get so many each year I keep threatening to start a hornworm growdown. I sent him over so that you can enjoy his beauty. Leave him there, he will grow wings like a beautiful bird

I have too many winged beasties in my garden already so this guy is not getting a break. Anyway he should stick to tobacco plants and not my peppers!

I plucked him off and left him to the birds as I usually do with these !#@$ing invaders.

He got pretty big so had a good go at this plant. I need to start my nightly UV lamp inspections now.

No, no, no, I don't want to see our best hope in the PNW go down. Fight!

I've got an early weigh-in due to one pepper being knocked off by the wind from a passing storm.
 

 
Here's my selected competition plant (it doesn't have the bed to itself, it's sharing the space with a few other non-XL Antep Aci Cross plants).
 

 

[Capsicum Connoisseurs]

It's nice to see the pods rolling in, hopefully it won't be long before I start adding my own.

Hope everyone is well.

This year, playing it conservatively, and only using around 32 gallons of soil for this plant.

Picked this bad boy today, and cooked it up with some onions for my gyro. I was surprised because I hadn't noticed any peppers until today.

No weigh in?

Finally, my 1st weigh in for this season. Took forever to ripen.

Total so far : 132 g.

Enough to bring out a sweat if you eat a whole one.
