I'm stoked about this. I have had SB Brainstrain, and I've read that people really like the flavor of YBS.

I've also awarded an Extreme to Pepper-Guru for hosting such a great event.
This contest just got a whole lot better! Thank you THP.
He sure is.tctenten said:
This is going to be fun.
These plants were the biggest ones in my garden this year. Much bigger than the Aji Lemon Drop by far.
Huge limbs that spread out and laid on the ground, full of fruit, followed by huge skyscraper branches shooting straight up from the center of the plant.
Here's a couple pod shots that show the main shape and texture of the pods. Most pods grow Shaped exactly like the Brain Strain, while 10 percent or so, get funky/irregular towards the bottoms.
Here's a shot of early plant structure. Shot taken on June 28th.
And then here's a video of it in the beginning of October:

Actually, funny you ask. Those came from a Malarky. He sent me one of my favorites, the Aribibi Gusano and three plants out of 12 or so germinated, ended up being crosses. So I came out with these three different caterpillars this year. Even a peach one:Pr0digal_son said:
Yep. Just picked the pods and now I'm sitting at the dining room table extracting seeds for drying and shippingWalchit said:
Should be Mon-Tues before I start getting them out. Current situation:
Full disclosure:
Consider these open pollinated. These are fruits from both over wintered plants I had this year from last year. These fruits are the ones that were pollinated sometime after the bugs were long gong and it had been cooler for about a month. So lets say from November 1st'ish to present. I usually have time to net things but that last little cold snap ended everything for me. I may be able to salvage some root stock out there, but its doubtful. Point is, these aren't isolated like I usually spend time doing, so don't be surprised if you get a retarded sister in the bunch. Grow a bunch and pick your favorite is the safest bet
How are you going to send the seeds? I'm thinking address information and such.
I live in Denmark, so it's quite a long shipment, but of course I'll pay for the shipment.
I don't mind the open pollinated seeds! (That way I have an excuse to start even more plants than I planned)

I'll send them anywhere, just can't guarantee they'll arrive! Or how long it will take for that matter. Anyone is welcome to join. PM address if interested.
Seeds are dry. Shipping out Monday.
EDIT:
For the international members, I'll be stealth packaging inside of our family christmas cards or something.

Just read this about seeds from the same stock. Why is that a requirement? Isn't part of the fun, how well different seeds of the same strain perform? I already ordered seeds from an online vendor, but will submit my address to you in PM and respectfully request some seeds.
If the idea is to create a level playing field, we are in different parts of the world, different soils, different temperatures, different knowledge levels. I'd submit their is no level playing field, so end rant / same stock seems too restrictive and unneeded IMHO.
