Jabooty F2 comparison

My Jabooty, (Brown Bhut x Jamaican Bird) cross has three distinct forms (so far) in F2.
A brown bumpy form, a red bumpy form, and a smooth form that goes through a lightgreen to cream-orange color phase before ending up an orange-red color.
Pics.

Wondering how the light green color shift genetics ended up in the mix. Seems strange that neither parent showed anything similar. Guessing it could be caused by nearly anything, impure original strains, recessive traits, or random mutation...

Very nice! I like the brown! I have a similar cross Black Naga x Peri-Peri...F3 now. In F2, I also got a brown. It looks just like a brown Peri-Peri. I had one red and one brown.

I hope you keep growing that one out! Have there been F2 taste tests yet? Very nice!!!!
 
Not yet, as I have only shared the seeds this season, so nobody has had a chance to taste them besides me, and I'm not very good at describing flavors. [emoji848]
I've got isolated F3s going from only the brown version. I probably won't continue the red, and so far the smooth form has been seedless.

I thought the og Bhut Jolokia all set pods at a very light green and then ripened to red?

Can't say for sure, as I'd never grown them out before...
