I can't get over the size disparity between the two. It's actually "ha ha" funny.
I imagine that's how my first husband and I must have looked together. He was 6'5" blonde and blue-eyed, and I'm 5'2.5" with nearly black hair, (not anymore, LOL), and green eyes. Unfortunately, he used me for MMA practice so...

It's Day 63. The Corbaci pepper plant continues to amaze me with how quickly and easily the flowers are pollinated. I don't think I've lost a single pepper or unpollinated flower yet, while the Bullnose buds are taking a lot longer to show evidence of pollination, and it's dropping buds and tiny peppers at least every other day. I can't wait to see the long ones start to change colors!  |

That's amazing! I wonder if you started another machine so the light could be closer to the other plant, it might be happier?

I have another Bounty beside the smaller pepper plant growing the Aztek and Jochalos micro-dwarf tomatoes! While the smaller pepper plant has definitely gotten taller, it's growing very slowly.

Well, he may be short, but he's clearly healthy! Both plants are banging out an impressive number of peppers!

Very industrious. I wouldn’t have thought of that.

LOL, I'm such an idiot! When I first saw that post, I didn't even see where you'd trussed it up with the water jug. I wondered what you'd done.
That really is a good idea.

Day 83. They're no longer producing flowers, so I hope that means they're going to get serious about growing and ripening the peppers.  |

Mine have gotten to that stage also only to find them produce more flowers later on

What a successful project! I must say, though(no offense) but the corbaci reminds me of witch's fingers! LOL

I've taken several pictures since the last time I posted, intending to post them each time, but life has been so busy lately, I just have no energy for anything at the end of the day. The bullnose peppers are small and they're ripening very slowly. I don't think I'll grow them again in the future. On the other hand, the Corbaci pepper was a huge success. It produced tons of flowers which were easily pollinated, and I even had to anchor it to a jug of water to keep it from toppling over with the weight of the peppers! But I picked the first ripe one yesterday and the seeds go all the way down. The taste outweighs the annoyance of removing the seeds, so I'd definitely grow this again.   |

Those are really fun! I really like how they look while ripening, with their multiple colors.
Maybe the bullnose would ripen faster with a lower light. Might be worth tying again. It’s a great size plant for the AG. Looks like it might even work in a short arm machine.
