Anyone with blooming reapers?

Nuclieye · May 31, 2015

My F2's are getting ready to flower again and I'm in need of reaper pollen since my Reapers are almost tits up. Will trade seeds or ? for pollen. :confused:

I have a second year reaper that will be blooming like madness in about a week or two. We'll see if I can collect some pollen for you. It might end up dropping the first batch of flowers though because of lack of pollen (they can do that) but it's like almost 18 months old so I dunno.

Mine has unripe pods.

My overwinter Carolina Reaper has about 20 pods on; 1.5+" on average.

And hundreds of flowers.

x2. My nights are just fine though. Im not sure why a bunch of my peppers are dropping flowers. Unless it is just that the first set of flowers tend to drop across the board.

I have one that already has a couple pods, I can see if it has any other flowers to collect pollen from. What's a good way to store and ship pollen anyway?

I was thinking plucking entire flowers and shipping those, otherwise I've never done it. Probably the only reasonable way to do that without denting a harvest is on an older plant.
