breeding accidental crosses

frank225 · Jul 5, 2015

Everyones plants should be producing pepper any accidental crossea..I have over 100 plants and let like 20 open pollinate.. Well on my moruga yellow plant I have a habanero looking pepper I think my moruga crossed with a carribean red habanero. Will post a pic in a bit

The pods will look just like the mother plant regardless of who pollinated it. It's not until you plant the seeds and grow them out that they will look different. Unless you're talking from last years.

Hmmm this is oa 2nd year plant but out of all the pods only had this one that look just like a habanero

I had seeds I harvested from a red bhut last year that ended up crossing with a fatali. They are yellow and look very close to fatalis but quite a bit hotter and more oil.

This was supposed to be 7pot yellow brainstrain. So far only thing that hasn't grown true yet

I had 2-3 yellow moruga plants that would grow out similar pods to them.. Especially in the start of the season and at the end when the pods were a little smaller.

Everyones plants should be producing peppers? Are mine in trouble? Nobe of my superhots seem even close. Plantes outside last week of May in Eastern PA. Should I be worried???

I'm picking pods already and I plated may 18th. But I was already starting to get pods when I planted out. I started germinating peppers late january.

@Baseman: I'm in Easton. I got my plants at Cross Country last week of May. They seem to be progressing well. My Habaneros and Thais and stuff are full of peppers.. but none of the Scorpion, Jolokia or Reapers (one of the Reapers doesn't even look like it will make it sadly) Some flowering but no pods on any of them. I thought they were all late season so I wasn't worried.. now you have me scared.

First year trying to grow and was just feeling somewhat comfortable about it.. now I hear everyone is picking pods in similar weather.

D3monic · Jul 6, 2015

Makes you feel better I'm not getting pods on my reaper or jays peach yet

nattymari · Jul 6, 2015

This is from last week... damn I thought I was doing good, lol!

You should be fine I started late December got them out full time at the end of May, I'm only harvesting now because I started so early and had room to get the plants up to flowering/ podding. When it's warm and humid the plants will blow up.

My big hab has a decent 20 pods and all my annums are doing fine. It got cooler and rainy past week. So less activity I guess. All but the bhut jolokias have flower buds (a lot of them)

No pics atm but I seem to have these too on my yellow bs...One of em anyway. Wonder if we got the same seed source

Nattimari I wouldn't be worried there is plenty of time left in the season. This year has been hard with all the rain and cloudy days. But like the others have said once it does finally show some sun for us you'll be ok
