Yes, that's true and I have already experienced that.peppamang said:I don't think so, if your pods are displaying an off-phenotype it might have been crossed by accident. Pests can, herbicide can, and sometimes the first few pods are a little off pheno, so that may be why.
This is what I was thinking about and would like to know, overfertilized plant. In my case I got 3 plants of Fatalii White, 2 of them have very similar pods but the 3rd has pods much smaller but wider. Seeds are from the same pod and most likely not crossed. The 3rd plant has also wrinkled leaves caused by overfertilizing during the bloom stage.AJ Drew said:But again, the causes peppamang offered are much more likely unless you have gone hog wild with fertilizer. Ah, another reason to go organic. Slow and steady nutrition without much of a worry about over doing it.
i´ve wondered that same thing.AJ Drew said:You just brought up another question. Does a single pollen create all the seeds in a pod or just a single seed? I think maybe just a single seed. So since they self pollinate, an insect could bring foreign pollen into the mix and the seeds from a single pod could be different? Notice all the question marks.

I would love to read a study on this as i have wondered the same thing. Does anyone have any information on this?BlackFatalii said:
My understanding is that each seed is a separate fertilization event. So the same pod could possibly contain both true and crossed seeds.
