• Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
    Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
    Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Okay...this makes some sense to me. Now how do plants polinate? I have habs growing near bhuts and i'd like to have just normal peppers. no hybrids or any of that business. Is polinating strictly left to wind and insects? can i polinate them (insert semen jokes as needed)? I don't need perfect peppers, just good ones.

Is there a chance i could be breeding chocolate bhuts because of the chocolate hab next to the bhuts?

not this crop....

I didn't go back and read the whole thread and don't remember if this was addressed or not. If a naga crosses with a jalapeno or vice versa, there will be no change to the pepper that you can tell this season...the seeds that pepper produces will be F1 hybrid seeds and when those seeds are grown, the fruit MAY show characteristics of both parents, or just show characteristics of one parent. This all depends on genetics...donimant/recessive genes and the like.

here is you a good start on pollination...

That link is almost exhaustive with it's content. :lol: So, in short i have to tell female flowers from male flowers and take pollen from the male flowers and place it in the female flowers. So strange. Odd that these fruits would than be pure and nothing changing until the following year's crop from the new seeds??

That's interesting reading. I forgot alot of that stuff. I have to admit i forgot that plants could reproduce so many ways. In my past i've grown certain other plants (wink wink nudge nudge) that typically would have either male or female plants and you'd only want the female plants for it's very different flowers. So this makes more sense in the whole "shaking" method of fertilization.

now, if i'm right. the pollen just need to get from the stamen to the pistol, and it doesn't matter if it's the same flower or now, right??
