First you show me your rules,
 
Then I show you my pepper.
 
Karoo

- Start 01/06 and end 31/05
- Anything except Capsicum Annuum
- Max soil volume 40ltrs (I.e. 50ltr pot / 40ltr soil)
- Kratky acceptable (for the adventurous types)
- To start seedlings anything goes (max pot size 1ltr)
- After 1ltr pots its into soil or kratky
- No limit on pot upsizing (0.5 - 1 - 2 - 5 - 10 - 20 - 40)
- No moving parts (pumps, etc) if hydro starting
- Total pods weighed in wins

I think that about covers it all.

- Fabric grow bags acceptable
- Non-Southern Hemisphere welcome (if they can lose humbly)

I'll probably go for my Lemon drop x Malawi piquant f1 cross.
Lots of hybrid vigor.!

Nice man, looking forward to seeing what the cross looks like and how much it yields compared to a normal lemon drop.
 
Don’t know who all is participating in this but here is my starting photo just in case.

Alright... I decided on Sugar Rush Peach Primo x Lemon Drop. I tried to find something I have with the shortest growing season, because I might have to move by the end of the year, but I gave up. I ordered far too many seeds to put in enough time to find out which one will work best in this situation. Heck, I'll be happy if I get to try any pods off this grow!
 
Wherever I end up, I definitely want to have room for my greenhouse and a proper garden. (I'm getting old!)

Wait. Is it SRP or Primo x Lemon Drop?
 
Holy crap, you're right. I had it narrowed down to those two... I had actually typed Sugar Rush Peach, but changed my mind before I hit the post button...
 
I just counted my seeds to be sure, it is definitely the Primo x Lemon Drop.
