I would greatly appreciate your advice and criticism. I have only recently begun to study and develop as a breeder and, in general, as a pepper grower. If you have any questions or advice, once again, I would be very grateful!

Hi! This blog is about my pepper breeding project. First goal: a lemon-flavoured, chocolate-coloured chili. To reduce epistasis and polygenicity
Iā€™m using three crosses:
1) KS Lemon Starrburst Ɨ Chocolate Habanero
2) KS Lemon Starrburst Ɨ 7 Pot Douglah
3) Aji Lemon Drop Ɨ Sugar Rush Stripey.

Iā€™m a beginner, so any advice or criticism is very welcome!
