I have at least 2 good plants, so far. My first one died. I've sowed all my seeds, but as long as I have one good plant for the growdown, and to save seeds, I'll be good to go. Will post pics later.

The one on the right might seem like the obvious choice but I really like the shorter internodal spacing and bushier growth (which is hard to see in the picture) of the one on the left. I'm going to pot these up today and reevaluate in a week or two.

One on the right is likely the correct pheno. Look for more annum looking leaves than chinense, ha

Nice looking plants, Edmick. So, I'm seeing two distinct pheno's in my 3 early. In the blue corner, the growdown pheno 2 (MICH3) and in the red corner the disfavored pheno. My take on the difference is the preferred pheno is less compact, has longer narrower leaves, a slightly greener/less dark stem, and more propensity for lateral branching early.

Of the 6 planted I had 4 sprout. I saved 1 of the non-contest pheno and 2 of the contest pheno to pick from. Seeds were planted 1/19, 32 days ago.

Yea I was gonna accuse walchit of spiking my seed bag with a stray chinense in an attempt of sabotage but thought, nah he would NEVER do such a thing.. Or would he.. Cold blooded lol

ColdSmoke · Feb 20, 2019

I just potted up five plants....they are amazing. I didn't take any pictures because people will likely be catching hard feelings if they see them. Too early in the contest for that.

Walchit · Feb 20, 2019

You don't even want to know about all the weird stuff I did to your seeds Ed! They look as good as my plants already

Pepper-Guru · Feb 20, 2019

I am interested in what all those chinense ones turn out looking like so don't cull too many of them people! Here was the map in that plot last year:

Could be anything! haha

internationalfish · Feb 20, 2019

Hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll get enough foliage to see whether I'm at least on the right track with one of my two sprouts. Otherwise I guess it'll be back to the coffee filters. :confused:

Walchit · Feb 21, 2019

You think it crossed? The one pheno definitely has chinense features

I only did weird stuff to Ed's. Looks like you have the fatter leaf pheno, is that the only one you have?

And your plants are looking nice af. When did you start your seeds?

Unless I have mixed up the labels I think this is the only one ... I started this variety on the 23rd January

OK, you guys are getting the only warning I'm going to give you--My seeds go to work in SEVEN DAYS.

I can't stress the imperative nature of this enough, spread the word....AND LET'S SEE BODIES MOVING!!!!

PaulG · Feb 21, 2019

Thanks for the warning, Eric!

Awesome plants John!

PT just for practice. I usually don't brag about
my PT's, but I'm going to have to get serious
about this!
