Rabid48's Unknown Peppers from AjiJoe - More Ripening!

rabid48 · Jun 18, 2012

Update 6/19 - Added a picture of plant 1.

Hello everyone,

I thought I'd start a thread about all of the unknows I have in my garden. A few of them are starting to flower and get some pods, so I thought now would be a good time to get this started. I'll be updating it as new pods show up and I figure out what's what.

I currently have 13 superhots and 7 hots from Joe's respective mixes growing in the garden.

As of 6/18, only one plant has pods. I'll try to use this same format for each plant as it comes along, giving all the info I know to help get the I.D.'s.

Plant 1: Chinese 5 Color

From Mix: Hot
Plant Species: ~~Annum~~ Chinese
Flower Type: One per Node
Flower Size: Very small, pinhead
Flower Color: White
Pod Colors During growth: Yellow/cream, purple (so far)
Pod Size: Small
Pod Growth Habit: Upright
Pod Shape: Bullet
Notes: In the center of the image you can see a purple pod with a Yellow one right next to it. There's also a small yellow pod just starting immediately behind the purple one.

Thanks for looking everybody! I should have another plant putting some pods out soon that's a purple plant, so stay tuned.

-Nate

PS - Special thanks to Joe again for giving noobs like me the chance to grow some rare and interesting peppers with is SASBE offers this spring. Helluva guy that one.

Thanks Joe! I added a picture that's a little bit better. It makes the smaller pod look green, which is somewhat accurate, but I swear they started out yellow. There's also two or three other purple pods now, and they're all pretty small, so it would be a type that turns purple early.

ajijoe · Jun 20, 2012

great pic!!

it is in fact (Small fruit strain) Chinese 5 color

they will start out cream colored then go from there, in fact multiple colors will all be at the same time on the many pods it will produce, so it will be a rainbow of colors on the same plant

thanks i hope this helps your friend Joe

I second Nate's remarks about Joe. There's no telling how many people are growing chiles from seeds that Joe gave them. Joe's one of the best!

I got a few from Joe's offering. (2 of them are the Chinese 5 color, waiting for flowers/pods from 2 more mystery plants)
Thanks again Joe.

Alright, I finally have a few more pods on a different plant. I have a feeling Joe's gonna get this one pretty quickly. It came from the hot mix and has super purple foliage, especially in direct sunlight.

Plant 2: ???

New Pics 7/17/12

From Mix: Hot
Plant Species: Annum, possibly Chinese
Flower Type: Multiple per Node, mostly singles though.
Flower Size: Normal
Flower Color: White with purple on the edges
Pod Colors During growth: green and blackish/purple (so far)
Pod Size: Small (so far)
Pod Growth Habit: Upright
Pod Shape: Torpedo
Notes: Everything about this plant tells me it is a purple or black something. When the seed first popped, the coyts very purple, but then the seedling grew green, and then when I put it out under direct sunlight it reverted back to a deep purple.

ajijoe · Jun 26, 2012

dont know yet
sorry

rabid48 · Jul 17, 2012

It's been a while, but all of the in ground hot mix plants and a few of the superhots have started putting out some pods. I updated plant #2 in my last post with a few new pics in the hopes of finding an ID. Here are the new ones:

Plant 3: ??? (I'm just waiting for corking and this one will be a jalapeno...)

From Mix: Hot
Plant Species: Annum
Flower Type: One per Node
Flower Size: Normal
Flower Color: White
Pod Colors During growth: Green/Black suntan

Plant 4: ???

From Mix: Hot
Plant Species: Annum
Flower Type: One per Node
Flower Size: Normal
Flower Color: White
Pod Colors During growth: Light Green
Pod Size: 2~3in (so far)

lookin good nate i still need them to ripen for an id but i do have a few ideas what some of them are

thanks your friend Joe

rabid48 · Jul 18, 2012

Thanks Joe. I'm pretty sure about the jalapeno, and the siling labuyo is the only thing I can find that looks close to #5. It's just a little more bunched than pictures I've seen...

ajijoe · Jul 18, 2012

the top buncher is not siling labuyo, that is if that's the one in question siling labuyo doesn't cluster like that
it looks more like either candles yellow or starburst orange the color will dictate the species in this case
and if it came from the mystery mix nine chances out of ten it will be either one of those two, if its something else i guess we will just have to wait and see

thanks your friend Joe

I just wanted to post a quick update (has it really been a month?) to say that some of these mystery plants are ripening. Pretty much all of them have ripened to a red color.

Plant 2: Ripened red. I just tried one of these and it was HOT! I believe my grand parents have a "brother" of this one that produces smaller pods with similar heat. I thought maybe it was some type of pequin pepper, but the purpleness of it makes me think otherwise.

Plant 3: Still thinking Jalapeno, but some of them have some weird blossom ends (pics later). Ripening red.

Plant 4: Just started ripening red.

Plant 5: Ripened from green to red, so starburst orange maybe? I'm not sold on that conclusion yet.

Plant 6: Pretty sure this one's a cow horn. All of the pods have rotted on the vine so far, which I have read can be a problem for these types.

Plant 7: Lots of small red dangling fruits. Haven't tried one yet.

Plant 8: No change here. Still waiting.

It's been an interesting year. I hope to have some more plants up here by the end of the week, I just haven't felt like uploading in a while. Most of the supers have pods now, but I have no clue what they are. There are a few that look like a scorpion but are very light colored. I'm curious to see what they turn out to be.

Also, if you want a head scratcher, check out http://thehotpepper.com/topic/33235-strange-shaped-pepper/ for a strange plant I found in my grandfather's patch.

Happy growing everybody!

rabid48 · Aug 25, 2012

First Ripe Superhot Here! Hopefully a sign of many to come.

Plant 9: ???

From Mix: Super Hot
Plant Species: Chinese
Flower Type: Multiple per Node
Flower Size: Normal
Flower Color: White
Pod Colors During growth: Dark Green, Neon Orange
Pod Size: medium
Pod Growth Habit: Hanging
Pod Shape: Wrinkled
Notes: Haven't tried it yet. I hope it's good! The picture is a little washed out because of my camera, but the orange is very vibrant.

ajijoe · Aug 25, 2012

Thanks for trying, Joe! That picture was kinda crappy, so I'll forgive you, but only this once.

After browsing through the super hot section on Pepper Lover, my top two guesses would be Trinidad Morovas or some sort of Naga. The color is about dead on for the Morovas, but Its a little more wrinkly than the picture they've got.

I gave the ripe one to my uncle to try and I'll be trying the other one that's ripening for myself later.

well if it came from me its not a morovas,i never had them its prolly a cross

thanks your friend Joe

nate on second thought, i think #9 might be Neon Yellow Habanero?? it sure does look like it im growing them this season and they taste really good!!
look it up for general referance, it would be called NEON HABANERO and i think the German site "SEMILLA DE" may have a pic of it??

thanks your friend Joe
