Thanks guys!    Jubnat, to answer your question: I grew 2 x F1 plants last year and got F2 seeds from peppers from hand pollinated flowers.    Very nice peppers, D3monic! Yep, the pale pink one has the better flavour of the two.    Here's a couple of pics of the most prolific plant, very pale...

This is a long term project with the (probably futile but still fun) goal of improving upon the best tasting and looking pepper to my taste - the Bahamian Goat.  Lots of interesting variations with this F2 set of around 25 plants. Most produce red peppers of various sizes and shapes, but a pic...

Hi SR, flavour is OK, typical annuum, some sweetness but not too much. No bitterness. It's on the hotter end of the spectrum for annuums, but not in the same league as chinenses. Very few seeds:     Sorry about the quality of this photo. The white background doesn't do justice to the striping...

Hey folks, I hope that you're all enjoying the holidays. Long time member and grower but no messages for a while... but I got something interesting for you.   I started with Joe E Parker and Chinese 5 colour. Got the F1 hybrid easily, then from there it has been hand pollination with pollen the...

He's using NMR spectroscopy as an analytical method to estimate SHU.

Hi Van,  Most of my seeds come from Semillas (http://www.semillas.de/shop_en/index.html), Judy (http://pepperlover.com) and Grant (http://junglerain.com.au), all of whom will post seeds to you. Other seed suppliers are discussed in the Vendor Vault...

San Diego, perhaps  :)

Picked a few more this morning.    White bhut (PL)   White 7 pot (PL)   Peach bhut (PL)   Here is this morning's harvest for a colour comparison. Top left to bottom right: white bhut, yellow Moruga, white 7 pot, yellow bhut, peach bhut.  The Moruga looks orange and the 7 pot is pale yellow...

Fresh picked this morning! Perhaps cream or ivory, rather than white.

We grew Judy's white bhut and it looks as advertised here but with one exception:    http://pepperlover.com/pepper-seeds/heal-leve/world-hottest/white-bhut-jolokia-detail   As Judy says, it is very productive, and branches break under weight of fruit. It is a smooth skinned variety and looks...

Sounds interesting. I will try to clone some cuttings. What are the chances of the mutation being carried in seeds grown from peppers in the affected branch?

Thanks Geeme! Lots more pods ripening on the plant. Great pics. Very picturesque with the snow.

Yep, it's one of the best. Have 6 plants this year, and lots of crosses for next year!

Here are some observations from my glog: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/51814-aussies-2014-2015/?p=1111740

Shouldn't the Douglah be brown?

Picked a few more this morning from overwintered plants that were put in ground for the summer. The plants that produced these peppers are the same age (seed planted Aug 2014 2013) and have been grown under the same conditions. From taste tests these are among the hottest that we grow. I will...

Here it is  

Thanks Micca! I have a Douglah plant growing now. Once I have enough peppers, I will test them.

Thanks for your comments and feedback.     Check out my grow list... I will get through as many as I can!       I agree. We've also noticed big variations in heat level from different peppers from this plant.      We use a tenth to a fifth of a gram for each individual analysis. The tested...

Hi Ferby. A graduate student in my research team developed and performed a simple spectroscopic analysis (1H NMR) with an internal standard for calibration. The error is less than 5%. Here is another earlier thread with some spectra of capsaicinoids from fresh peppers...
