I told myself that i wanted to grow the Giant white habs after seeing Luigi 's plant. See this post.

Then i saw Judy's Trinidad 7 pod white and thought it would be cool too.
So in preparation for this seasons grow i looked to order the giant white habs & the white 7 pot. The giant white habs were not available from the places i made orders for other items, but did get the 7 Pot whites.
Then i find the giant wht habs on the refining chiles site. And then read jim's description pretty much saying that white 7s dont exist, that they are just giant wht habs. See link...

In my research online, i also found someone in England who had what was explained to be white 7s that turned out to be giant wht habs (sorry, no link, late nite reading and can't remember where other than one of many Google searches). And now if you go to Judy's pepperlover.com site, her "Trinidad 7 pod white" is no longer on the site. Like gone, not still there but marked as "sold out".
So i question?
Has anyone grown both and can say that they are not the same plants, just named otherwise? Is Mr Duffy correct and that explains the missing item listing?
I did purchase the giant white habs seeds from refining chiles, and will be growing them right next to the white 7s from pepperlover. Do i now have duplicate seeds?
I actually have two white 7s (if that is what they are?) up and one has never looked healthy. Very necrosis light green leaves and has barely grown compared to the other. In my online research (yes, i spend way too much time online looking up peppers) i read that since these have such recessive genes for the white, that they are week, slow growers, and some just don't make it. So i hoping this one pulls through and it is a sign that it will have true white pods. I hope both produce white pods actually.
It appears that many have had pods grow out to be orange, yellow, and red from giant white hab seeds. And even some that have a white period before ripening yellow. And i think one member here had a white 7 grow out orange from his powder listings. With white being so recessive i think it appears that it isn't easy to get a large white podded plant, and is nearly a numbers game. Hoping for a large white pod regardless.
I see white 7s on a ton of grow list right now.
Anyway have any info or thoughts?
Thanks
