Can anyone share a thread that delves into the origin story of the 7 Pot Bubblegum? We're growing the OG BBG7 this year and want to learn more about how it was created. Thanks!

Also for some context, Jon Harper from the UK also created the Borg9. This used the BBG7 as a parent for the Borg9.

Jon Harper's name from the UK keeps popping up:
Jon Harper, a grower from the United Kingdom, created this chile by crossing the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Red to Yellow 7 Pot.
Jon Harper an expert grower from the U.K. is the creator behind this chile. To understand you must see the history. Jon first made the 7 Pot Bubblegum

He's also created some other AWESOME chiles such as the 7 of 9, which i believe is a BORG 9 x Brainstrain 7 pot. It's been my great white buffalo for years.
It seems to me that the explosion of super hots in the past decade or so has been the result of random or intentional cross pollinations involving people who do not isolate their strains. Not a criticism of them as I don’t do it either, as I simply don’t have the room to keep strains a hundred yards away from each other. You’d probably have a good chance at creating the next super hot if you gather a bunch of the usual suspects and grow them two feet from each other
