Do I win? :party: :party: :party:
 
 
I actually do have one plant with a thicker trunk than the rest by a good margin. I'll get a pic this evening with a tape measure.

ROFL. It is sad that I wouldn't know what you were talking about except for the wisdom that was imparted on me by my 11 and 13 year old kids. Brony FTW.
 
lol... I wish i had a miniature coke can to set next to the trunks bahahaha....
 
 But yeah... you need not be homo to be a brony ;)
 
I think all people can appreciate the magic.... I only wish i could find a 10 hours loop for you guys.  Oh well... wear that replay button out :dance:

Thats about 10 months old.  Its been hydroponic up until last week.  All my hydroponic chilies get much thicker trunks than soil
 
haha I'm overwintering tomorrow since we're getting 45º nights already, I can get some shots then.  I have some milds that are a good size and I'm going to overwinter my neighbor's Cherry Bombs for him which are gargantuous, he must feed them dead bodies or something :shocked: I didn't grow them but I'll show you anyways, they're beautiful plants.  I'll be tending them for the winter so I'll be able to call them my own. 
 
 
This is one of my Hungarian wax plants that did really well this year with NO FERTS.  It was just planted in our godawful Blue Ridge red clay and thrived :D.  It's getting overwintered.

My neighbor has this idea that peppers "love" 40º nights, so he wants to wait another month before overwintering.  It's his plants so I won't debate him about it.  If they die he can't use seeds because cherry bombs are unstable.  I'd still love to get a shot of the trunks, those things are as big around as my wrist and they're only yearlings!
 
     These are two plants I started from seed in December, 2011. They spent last year in 5 gallon buckets. This year, I released them into the wild (raised beds in the front yard). I almost killed them last fall by not bringing them inside soon enough. I thought they were goners since they lost all their leaves, but they proved to be a lot tougher than I thought.
     First is an Anaheim that is almost up to my nipples at this time. (I'm 6'5")

     Second is a Caribbean Red Hab. I have two of these and each has produced about a gallon and a half of peppers so far this year, with no sign of slowing down.

     I think chinenses have more of a tendency (more than annuums, at least) for low branching. (Neither of these plants were pruned at all in their first season.) Regardless of the species, however, I would imagine that topping a plant early on would promote a lower branching habit and give you a pretty good-looking bonsai.

that's my first ghost, 1 year last may in a hydro dwc, im looking at 600+ pods so far from that one plant, not including what on it, tonight I turned on my grow room light to check temps, and clean it up, that plant has a 8x8 span, I trained it like a bonsai and it has worked so far, I need to pick it clean before I bring it back indoors so I can have truly isolated pods and seeds this winter
