Not bad for a Wallybag grow!

Looking good Chris!

Hmmm, I thinking how can I make mine grow 5 feet in 5 or 6 weeks?

Thanks guys. Was really hoping to have moved a few months ago and have it in the ground, but that wasn't to be. Love the peppers though. I couldn't believe how juicy they are!

Looking good! Digging the fence too! Good job on that.

Thanks,

Yeah, the dogs like to dig up my newly planted. It's rabbit fence, and I even dug down 4"s and poured dry sacrete so the rabbits can't dig under. I used 22 bags to lock down the 3,200sf. Dang heffer plowed through through it this summer and ate my squash...LOL

Starting to see pods that are ripening.

romy6 · Oct 6, 2014

So we have about 25 days left . This will most likley be my last pic. I have a second plant that has been lurking in the background . It is now about as tall as the originnal but in a 3 gal instead of a 7 gal ( I know WTF am I even competing for with those puny ass containers ) . I do and have had chinese peppers grow 8 feet or taller in 7 gals . Both are about 4 feet and most likel;y just gonna provide me some tasty firecrackers for the next few years

New guy

Old guy loving the temps

Good luck to all and especially the real contenders .

Mine is doing great, but has only grown abut 18" in the last 3 months. I guess having it in a 3 gallon pot doesn't help!

I`ve probably already had 100 pods or so off the plant, but it is loaded up with many more and is flowering again!

wayright · Oct 10, 2014

Great looking plant Nigel :cool:

Thanks man :cool:

Sorry for the shitty cell phone pic

I never remember to take my camera when I get a chance to visit my ho's

Roguejim · Oct 11, 2014

So, are you getting many pods on that freak? Strange not seeing a bazillion red pods all over it.

wayright · Oct 12, 2014

There are a ton,just starting color change,, crappy pic,hard to see em

Pepper-Guru · Oct 12, 2014

Sorry for the delay in updates there for a while. This time of the year is pretty busy for me.
I think we all see where this race is going though!
Without manipulation or intervention of any kind for my plant, it has only managed to reach 4ft tall and boasts a circumference of 8 ft.
Pod production and harvests, however, have been excellent.

I respectfully concede from this competition and as a parting gift to everyone, I leave you with some of the final photos of the compost pile Aji Chuncho, as well as some harvest shots

Whoever win's this race is gonna be one happy Chili Head!
