Trippaul Threat (PdN x BMJ) Community Grow

This is a dedicated grow log for Tristen's awesome cross, which I
have been growing out since 2014.  I'll start with a bit of history and
some photos documenting what's happened so far.
 
In January of 2014, Tristen (Trippa) sent me a little care package of seeds.
In the package were two generations of a cross he had made, which he just 
called 'Mystery Cross, F1' and 'Mystery Cross, F2'.  
 
Here's Trippa's Mystery Cross seedlings in February of 2014:

Both generations showing the purple foliage characteristic since the beginning.
 
Up close look at Trippa's Mystery Crosses, F1 and F2.  Both culled to a single
plant after the photo taken, so I only had one plant of each generation:

No problem, Mark. We want as many folk in the grow as we can get
so we can really nail down Tristen's cross. Seeds should be on the 
way in a week or two.

PS: don't forget to PM me your address, Mark!
 
Getting close to closing down the season with some typical showery
weather  in the PNW. Good news is that there is not a lot of rain in the
forecast, and nightly lows in the high 40's and nudging into the low 50's
until the first week of Nov. may bring on some more ripe pods. Should
be some sun breaks and periods of sun as well, so I'm optimistic!
 
Going to post a photo of each plant along with some germination
and production data by way of records-keeping, and to inform those
interested in this cross of Tristen's. Lots to include, so please be patient
with my serial edits  :rolleyes:
 
These photos and measurements were taken on Oct. 3rd. Plants have grown
little since then, and lots of pods have come and gone, but the basic data is good.
If we do, indeed, get a further round of pods, I will post an update for pod weight.
 
Six months on crowded tables in the garage under 2-4x4 T5HO lamps created some
long, scraggly branches at plant out in June, so these plants probably don't have the
classic upright stance of the cross at that point. Measurements are in width x height format.

So there you have it. I'd say a pretty successful season for Tristen's cross  :woohoo:
Once again, they show their ability to soldier on flowering and pod-setting even
in the long stretches of 95˚-100+˚ sunny days  :cool:
 
Response to the heat level of the pods ranges from 'wow, that's spicy' :eek:  , to OMG  :fireball:
 
In summary, here's a little comparison across plants.
 
Days to Hooks:
  • 10 days - F6W-1, F4-1, F4-2
  • 11   "     - F6W-2
  • 12   "     - F4-3
  • 14   "     - F6W-LP
  • 16   "     - F6P
Days to First Harvest:
  • F6WLP - 240 days
  • F4-3  -    250  "
  • F4-2 -     252  "
  • F4-1 -     256  "
  • F6W-1 - 270  "
  • F6W-2 - 270  "
  • F6P -     270  
Total Production:
  • F6W-2 -        736 grams
  • F4-1 -           776    "
  • F4-3 -           846    "
  • F4-2 -           995    "
  • F6P -        1.123 kilograms
  • F6W-LP - 1.192       "
  • F6W-1 -   1.842      "
I hope everyone is pulling in lots of pods.  I really like what we've seen so far.
Great color and size in many cases, and consistent growth habit. Thanks to all
for your contributions to this community thread, both past and future.

Thats the ticket, my friend, great haul, and lots of nice pods in that pile!
Looks like you salvaged those plants in good style, allright.

Very nice pods, Bookers. Love the white shaded with violet.

PM me if you want some of the F7, white, purple, or both.

Glad you stopped in, I hope you will join us for the 2019 F7 season.

Thank you these were from Bhuter

Just picking through the tub...here is a shot of a few of them.

Kinda cool finding the couple purple on one stem as well.

Very nice, Dan, real beauties alright  :party:
 
Interesting about the double pods, I have found several this season which is
unusual for this cross   :think: . Most have a large and small side like the one in the
seed pod pics (F6W-1), but there are two ripening up on the violet plants
very similar to yours.  Will post pics when picked.    
 
 
Went out to check the pods during a nice sun break this morning. Noticed a
few ripe ones, so decided to pick them before they start to split in the rain. I
was happily surprised by the number of pods that had ripened on the F6 plants
during the past few cloudy, showery days. Hoping to pull some white pods in
the next week or so.

F6P, 245 grams; F6W-1, 185 grams; F6W-2, 115 grams.

Regarding the issue of color being maintained during the drying process
that was raised a little while ago, here are a couple of examples by way
of comparison:

These violet pods dried at a tiny bit too high of a temperature still retain
the purple coloration, although the pods are dark:

The ivory pods at the left were dried at too high of a temperature, those
on the right at 95-105*, which not only preserves the color, but dries the
seeds without harm:

Okay, here is the list of people I'm sending seeds to. I hope I kept
track correctly of everyone who asked, so if you don't see your name
here, please PM me right away so I can get an envelope out to you. 
 
Everyone is getting some F6W-LP white and some F6W violet seed.  
A couple of people have requested something else as well, so if you
want some F6P purple or F42 white, please let me know right away.  
Envelopes are ready, just have to get the stamps. I plan on sending
them out before the weekend.

Finally the two compound pods have ripened enough to pick.
The previous ones did not have symmetrical pods, but these
two look as good as yours, Dan!

I dont know if its worth saving seeds from these or not.
Each pod is about 2 inches long:

As I said before, it is quite unusual for this variety to throw so many doubles.
These came from the F6W-1 (left) and the F6P plants.

Awesome Paul

I am saving the seeds from my double purple.

Thanks for getting the f7 seeds ready.

I'm going to grow your f7w and my f7p double.

:cheers:

My pleasure, Dan! 
 
Sounds like a good plan.  I can't wait to see
how they turn for you next season...
 
Wow, just wow! Those purple and white peppers look awesome!
Great to see so many people working together, I might want to join next round.

They are indeed, 'Ted. They are fun to grow just for all the color
changes. But, they are good for eating as well. It usually goes
something like this:
   :drooling:         :eek:         :fire:           :mouthonfire:           :twisted:
 
If you decide you might want to join in, just PM me your address.
I've already sent some to another grower in The Netherlands.
 
Thanks for your interest. Here's a review by Snagglepuss in UK:
 
 
I don't see the review.  Is it just me?
