Wanted those specific large peppers, thought I'd ask. I got seeds but forgot to start them this year.

I noticed some plants pods drying out be4 getting a final color from this branch. I guess I have a 'white' pepper as seen in top row, compared to others in this branch which have a yellow/orange or red color. Hard to tell in pic, but it's closer to white or cream color than a light-yellow or...

PS that scotch-bonnet looking one from post#69, I am pretty sure that is Trinidad Perfume (most of the others on the plant looked closer to Trinidad Perfume vs a Scotch Bonnet). I visited my grower nearby and he bought alot of peppers from another grower that he was also growing, and I can tell...

Some review of the peppers so far:

Here is an interesting attribute i've seen in some peppers. Some varieties start off with a pale ghostly green then ripen to their final color. While some start with a dark green and ripen to their final color (both of these will ripen yellow and are from the same F2 branch) ....

Yah its true. The 13-1-2 thread had 2 out of 3 attributes i wanted (kinda small fun shape, yellow, but hot), and this year 25% of them are not-hot. Also a variety last year that didn't make any fruit in time by the end of the summer (cause i planted it late), i overwintered and it just produced...

So I did get a small "not-hot" yellow from my 13-#1-2 branch... Still more ripening but I'm going to guess my 25% guess above was right as 1 out of 4 plants so far has the non-hotness on/off gene (vs the sliding-scale genes talked about earlier that control hotness). I also saved a plant that...

I'll give more updates as I get results in August/September. I was pretty happy that I got alot of farmer types to try out my peppers. I probably gave away somewhere between 300 to 500 seedlings for this F3 generation of many selections to trial out and stabilize. I am the most curious about...

I planted all the seeds of the 15-1-1. Unfortunately its the slowest grower in my seed tray (extremely slow so far) so we'll see how it does once it gets out in the sun soon. Have hundreds of plants growing now, will give out to a few farmers to trial out in a month or so.

Here are my selections to grow for 2024. If anyone wants any seeds of any of these selections, let me know. A quick summary of the crosses: #### #1: GrenadaSeasoning x BiquinhoYellow (Chinense x Chinense) #### #2: GrenadaSeasoning x PérolaIaranja (Chinense x Chinense) Last 2023 summer year...

I did get a few interesting varieties from grower in Harrisburg... smaller shaped peppers were only like 6% of peppers for me... but he got 3 out of 8. and 1 out of those 8 is not hot. So I kinda got what i wanted :) ... a 'not hot' pepper, with a small shape (although not as small as Aji...

A fun #1 hot cross I didn't notice before as they ripen red but until then they are a orange and red mix. I think a few others had more of a orange-red ripening color, but this one had more of a mix. Will debate saving seeds of these in case anyone wants

Some more pics from my growers... A 'not hot' yellow #2, very prolific looks like (I use pots and don't get this kinda production so its hard to tell how prolific they are gonna be from my own plants): a not hot #1 (this shape is the most common from #1's and what they looked like also last...

My results so far of F2 variety #1 and #2 (had alot of other excel fields like leaf shape but not really tracking those as much). #1's so far is about 25-30% have the 'not hot' trait with various shapes+sizes (although getting a smaller round shape is more rare like 6%). To get both small round...

Yeh I'm saving a ton of seeds from most of the 'not hot' ones (and that small yellow acorn hot one) and can giveaway seeds for free if anyone interested in growing next year :).
