Ugliest Plant

Here's mine. Seed from store bought jalapeno. This was one of my plants at the start of my learning process. I pretty much mistreated it. First started with reading this thread. So I topped off the main stem. Then overfertilized. Here's the result.

Topping the main stem did result in a more compact plant. It's about a 1.5 ft tall and damn unproductive. I've got like 5 pods on it. Not market worthy lol. I would only recommend topping a plant if you're going to overwinter it. You cannot get AJ size plants if you do this to a juvenile plant. If you've seen an uglier pepper plant, post it. I want to see lol.
