Big Black Mama X Caramel 7 Pot Madballz F1

Hello!
Last year, I made my first successful cross using Big Black Mama as the mother and Caramel 7 Pot Madballz as the father. I'm growing 9 plants of it and already I have a few different phenotypes. This first one looks more like the Madballz with a great texture.

This one looks a little more defined.
Pheno 2:

This last one is still small but has the most defined lobes. I'm isolating a couple flowers on this one.
Pheno 3:

I'm really excited to see what becomes of these!

Great job !
Thank you very much! I also love the first one. It's so hard to decide which one to keep.

Good looking pods Adam.The third pepper seems like its carrying more of the BBM traits highly desirable.
Thank you! I hope you're right. I'm looking for the big, bumpy pods. But I don't have much time to isolate and still have time for them to finish ripening. So I'm hoping pheno 3 gets a nice texture and size.

Cool looking pods Adam bet they will taste good.
Thank you! I like the flavor of both BBM and Madballz. So here's to hoping for a great combination.
 
Just a little update. They are chuggin' along slowly but surely. The pods are starting to get a more defined texture and all plants are setting pods pretty well. Here are a few pics.

Pheno 3 appears to be holding it's shape.

I have a fourth pheno that's more convoluted, but I didn't snap a pic of it. They're small, anyway. I'm getting really excited about these pods and I want them to hurry up. :) I know I still have a long way to go.

Looking good. Are you going to name this pepper, or just let it be identified by the cross?

I think I'll just let it be identified by the cross until it's further along. Maybe the future phenotype will give me name ideas. :)

These pods look intense Adam good job on this one.
Thank you very much, Florisa! The pods aren't the biggest...I'd say medium sized. But I'm hoping it'll be a screamer...with good flavor. Here are a few more random pics. Only 2 plants are ripening and they're both brownish.

Finally pulled my first pod.

The orange is another pod growing inside. The flavor on this reminded me more of the BBM: fruity, rich, & earthy. The heat was more aggressive like the Madballz. I ate half of it and I'd say it was as hot as a half of a Chocolate Bhut...maybe a little hotter...but more aggressive. After it peaked, it went downward quickly, but I'm still left with a nice warm sensation on the tongue and lips. Not bad!
