When I try to root plants they take forever and the stems start to turn white at the tip I cut and slowly creep toward the top with brown sploches on the stem, I suspect they rot. Aphids will also take them over, how do I root plants the fastest way possible?
I'd say keep that plant, or clone it to use as genetic stock. Grow the seeds out from the desired pods (after you make sure it is isolated) and if you don't get the desired pheno, backcross it to the plant has your desired pheno, THEN grow those seeds out and see if you get your pheno. Nice...

My homemade pepper extract is made from chocolate habs and isopropyl alcohol, once dried it becomes a tar like consistency but it's getting old, does this stuff expire?
I only had one cross but I still have a bunch of seeds to grow f1s. Plus the seed in this one wasn't isolated so it's alright. I have 2 plants, both are f1s and one is a giant with like 30 pods on the way.
Same here, it seems like the placenta is combined somehow too. In my f1 the placenta isn't like a typical chinense where it's just a small cluster of seeds right under the calyx, nor is it like the anuum mother where it is a gigantic plug that runs from the top of the pod to the bottom. In my...
