Please see above photo. I saved seeds from last year on an semi - isolated orange hab plant.

This year the pods coming in look really gnarly. Some have tails and sunken in bottoms.

Some have wrinkles likw scotch bonets, and some have elongated pods with variations in the tails/sunken bottoms.


Any ideas what this looks like?

Examples of three pods shown. One elongated and gnarly looking. One in the back with a sunken bottom, and the other with wrinkles like a scotch bonnet.

I am lost

it looks like a not so isolated hab now lol. what other peppers did you grow last year? i remember reading something that insects can still cross pollinate from other plants as far as a mile or a mile and a half away?

I came to the conclusion that it is more likely that I mislabeled seeds, or the original plant wasn't true, and it took until f3 to show its, colors.

At least they look like they are nice pods, I had a cross pollination issue last year I didn't know about either. This year my bhuts I grew from saved seed ended up being crossed with a fatali. Needless to say its better than a straight bhut. it has a lot of fatali characteristics like color, and flavor, but it has higher heat and a lot more noticeable cap oil.
