Stabilizing the CPR

I just bought some glue the other day to do the same thing after reading your post lol

I've been doing the same. The only issue I run into is if I glue them too early, they drop, you have to wait until basically what looks like the day before they are going to open, then glue them
 
Pods are getting big on the small CPR:

Large CPR has dozens of pods:

Hope I do not jinx myself, but the large CPR is one seriously healthy plant!:

Never had one reaper seed pop, if i were to guess, i would say the seeds were irradiated, rendering them useless. This is a nice project to see happening.

I found a good branch on the CPR JW and put some breathable white paper around it. Pretty sure I saw at least 10 flowers with more on the way so I tied it at the base and stapled it all around. I'll tap the branch now and then - should be more than a few isolated pods in there for distribution to anyone that wants them in the CPR seed train in the fall (if anyone wants in that is).

I hope this works.
 
Mine were just starting to ripen this past weekend. I've been in Illinois all week for work though. Should have some nice pics when I get home Friday!
 
Well, they don't have the pheno or the right color unless they go brown after this. But they came from Butch, and I did not mislabel or mix up anything. Maybe I just got "lucky" with a weird gene that decided to show.

They dont look like anything else I'm growing either.

Well, this is rather disappointing; the small CPR plant pods are red:

But the pods are good size and, while not the classic Primo/Reaper shape, quite wrinkly and have great shoulders.
 
I believe this will be my overwinter plant.
Nah, that's not disappoining, that's exciting! We are all getting something different, so it's cool to see what each of us end up with. I'm going to overwinter mine as well and try to overwinter as many of my other plants as I have room for.
